Of the federal government, and more
particularly just what they think Of the
proposed increase 10 fees for the privi-
lege Of grazing live stock on the nation
al forest.
'sThe protests followed an address on
grazing fees by Potter. and the report
Of the association's committee on forest
reserves and grasing lands. This re-
port took the form Of . resolution stat.
ing that the increase proposed BY the

Of 10O per cent stating that the stock.
men ara now paying full value for the
forest grazing privileges, which repre-
sent 88k per cent net return TO the
government, - vigorously protesting
against any increase. The convention
unaaimously adopted the resolution, and
right at this point the secretary Of
afiriculture and the assistant forester
began to hear what the West thinks Of
the administration Of the forest bureau.
