NATIONAL FOREST
GRAZING FEES TO
Be INCREASED
DECISION OF THE CHIEF
FORESTER PROPOSES ONE
THIRD INCREASE EFFECT
I'VE THE FIRST OF NEXT
MARCH

District Forester Redington has an
nounced that on decision of the
chief forester It is proposed to make
a one-third increase in grazing fees,
effective March |. 1917, on al the
national forests Of Arizona and New
Mexico. Further yearly increases
are to be made until 1919, on and
after which double the present rates
are to be charged. The proposed in
creases will apply all over the Unit
cd States, and have the approval Of
the secretary of agriculture, who has
set February !, 1917, as the final
date for public hearings on the new
rates.
Commenting on the proposed
changes, which will affect about 5000
stockmen in the Southwest, the dis
trict forester issued the following
statement:
"One of the leading criticisms Of
the national forests is that they are
not self-supporting. This change will
make them so. 1t is also often as
settled that while timber is sold at
competitive market prices, the graz
ing privileges of the forests are dis
pOScu Vi dt IlclC ely HOlllllIdl aus.
ut is argued that due to these low
rates forest stockmen have an undue
financial advantage over those who
must buy or lease outside lands for
their stock. This advantage is re-
jected in the fact that in sales OF
forest stock, where the owner valves
his grazing privilege the buyer often
freely pays bonus or premium over
and above the market value. Such
premiums have often been as high
as $l.50 per head for sheep and Sic
for cattle"
The present forest rates, based on
Ascent rate per head per year for
cattle, average, according to Mr.. Red
ington, about IS percent of the rates
paid for grazing on similar private
lands. The proposed increase will
bring them to about &c per cent OF
the rates paid on such lands.
1t is pointed out that the increase
in forest receipts which will result
from higher grazing fees will re-
dound to the benefit of the state
roads and schools. Arizona and New
Mexico receive yearly by congres-
sional enactment AZ per cent of the
receipts from the national forest for
roads and schools Heretofore this
fund has amounted to about $4,000
With the higher grazing fees, it is
expected that the annual percentage
accruing to the state will be increas-
ed by at least 100000.

BETTER TEACHERS
FOR RURAL
SCHOOLS
AT LEAST ONE THIRD OF
TEACHERS FOR RURAL
SCHOOLS FOR THE COUN-
TRY AT LARGE HAVE NO
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

The rural schools of the United
States are in sore need of better
qualified teachers. At least one
third OF the rural teachers for the
country 1t large have no profession-
al training. The average scholar
ship Of this class of unframed teach
ers is little more than an eighth
grade education There are 2l2OOO
one teacher rural schools in the Unit
ed States. II is conservative, there
tore. to say that there are 10000
rural teachers in this country with
on'y an elementary education and
no professional training. There is
ono state in the Union that has over
1000 teachers, with only a seventh
grade education and no-profession-
al training, in charge of its rural
schools this year. There are sew
cral states that number their rural
teachers in this class by the thou
sand and there are many states that
count their rural teachers in this
class by the hundred.
Another third of the rural teach
crs of the United States have only
limited amount of professional
training and on an average their
scholarship is not above the tenth
grade that is, two-year high school
education beyond the eighth grade.
There are at least 10000 teachers in
this class.
A ma iority of the remaining one
third OF the rural teachers of our
country have on the average only a
four-year high school education
which includes from one to two wears
attendance at state normal school
or the professional work given in
the junior and senior years in teach
ertraining high schools, or several
summer terms at summer schools
for teachers.
These are the conditions that face
us in the qualifications of our rural
teachers. The problem that con-
fronts us is how to improve these
conditions, 1t is the purpose of the
bureau of education to issue A series
of talks in an effort to show the
country how to solve this most i'm
portant problem in American educa-
tion today. The fact that we have
over 10000 teachers without ade-
Quate preparation for their work is
enough to arouse the public mind on
this question to such a degree that
within the next decade we shall have
sufficient number of teachers with
adequate training for every rural
school in the United States.-(By ].

TWO PREPAREDNESS PLANS SUbMITTEDBY
 LABOR FEDERATION
Texan Urges Establishment of Commercial Union Between United States and Central Americans.
(ey Review Leased WIre)

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-Two meth ods for employment by the United States in policy of preparation against war gre set forth in resolu- tions presented at the convention here of the American Federation Of Labor and which the committee on interna- tional citations had reported today.
 A resolution introduced by Al Rich of the Texas Federation of Labor, urges the establishment of commer- cial union between the United States and the South and Central American republics. To this end, the resolu- tion favors the issuing of bonds by the United States government to f. nance such steamship lines to in- crease commerce between the nations in the western hemisphere.
 The resolution states that the in; terest of all the people of the repubii lies of this continent, including the assurance of peace among themselves, is of more vital importance, and therefore entitled to greater consid- eration than the selfish desires of few individuals whose chief aim is to exploit them and their industres to the point of precipitating war between the nations involved"

DRASTIC ACTION TO
 RELIEVE SHORTAGE
 OF CARS EXPECTED
Commissioner McChord and Presidents of Five Railroads Discuss Situation at Louis vile Conference.
(By Review Leased Wire)

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 15.-Dras- tic action for the relief of the short age of freight cars in certain sections of the country is expected to result from the conference here Friday be- tween a committee of five railroad presidents and Commissioner c. C. McChord. This is the belief of a ma pority of the railroad representatives present at hearings being held in con nection with an investigation into the existing condition of equipment by the country's railroads.
 The testimony offered at the hear ings has related almost exclusively to existing conditions. But little has been attempted to provide immediate relief except as regards the supply of coal and refrigerator cars. Now. however, it is the belief of railroad representatives. the commission of five presidents who will represent the American Railway Association, will .ndeavor in conjunction with Comlnis- sioner McChord to work cut soile tenn porary arrangement which will relieve the shortage of all sorts of equipment and to iay plans for such revision of the car service rules as will prevent their recurrence.
