|STOCKMEN UP IN ARMS
Oppose Proposed Increase in
Grazing Fees in National
Forests.

Cheyenne, Wyo, Jan. l9.--SWinging
from the report of the associations
market committee presented today, in
terest at the convention of the Ameri-
can National Livestock association
turned tonight to the proposed in
crease in grazing fees on national for
ests
A. +. Potter, associate forester Of
Washington. summarized the govern
ment bureaus plans and reasons for
increased fees and the resolutions
! committee passed q resolution protest.
ing sharply against the increase.
This resolution declared that per-
mittees already are paying full value
for the grazing privileges they hold
that the old fees paid are one third
greater than the cost of administer
ing the grazing operations: that the
advance in fees is Il complete reversal
of policy which we very much deplore"
and that in the belief of the commit
tee the reasons advanced Tor the pro-
posed raise are insufficient; therefore
I'VE do most vigorously and unani-
monsly protest against any raised fees
now charged for grazing on the ma
tional forests
Reviewing the history of grazing
land leasing legislation and its failure
to get through congress, Mr.. Potter
said, when congress might have
passed such a bill the stockmen did
not want it. and when the stockmen
| concluded they wanted it congress
could not see it that way. Then up
bobbed the question:, why don't you
raise the grazing fees?'
"The only way a raise in fees could
affect the consumer would be in our
getting the price so high the ranges
would not he used and In that way
cause the supply of meat animals to be
reduced" d.
DIR. w. J. Butler, state veterinarian
of Montana, discussing the present
and future of the livestock industry
said:
"The United States now is raising
the best cattle in the world and has
the best market facilities. I predict
that the raising of pure bred cattle
now in its infancy. will become aT
important factor in the industry"
The report of the market commit.
tee centered around the success OF tht
committee in obtaining consent Of tht
packers to an investigation of the meal
industry, under certain conditions.
Vigorous protests by stockmer
against the proposed increase in fed.
eral grazing fees caused David +
Houston, secretary of agriculture Il
arrange for a special hearing here to-
morrow to consider fees and marketing
questions.
