FOREST
GRAZING PRIVILEGES
MUST NOT Be- SOLD
PAYMENT or BONUS OR ALLOW
ANcE FOR WAIVER WILL RE-
Suit IN REVOCATION or PER-
NIT, GOVERNMENT WARNS

Washington. Jan. 21.-The secte-
tary of agriculture is notifying all
holders Of permits for grazing live.
stock on the national forests that the
payment Of any bonus or allowance
for waiver of the grazing privilege
In connection with sales Of livestock
or ranch properties Will be cause for
revocation of the permit.
This is in accordance with n Of
the regulations governing the use Of
the national forests for grazing priv
ileges, which provides that permits
will be granted only for the exclusive
use and benefit of the owners Of the
stock and Will be forfeited If sold or
transferred in any manner or for any
consideration. To protect permittess
who may wish to dispose OF their
property against the losses which
sacrifice sales would involve, it has
been customary to allow continued
use of the national forest ranges by
the new owner. Without some pro-
vision for this, the forest service
grazing officials point out, holders Of
permits who wish to go out of busi-
ness would not be able to obtain Il
fair value for their property. But the
procedure has aimed throughout at
such a safeguarding OF the situation
as would prevent the acquisition Of
anything approaching vested rights in
the public property by private indi-
viduals or companies.
Owing to the great and ever-grow-
ing demand for use of the forest
ranges, which Is now in most regions
far beyond their capacity, the grazing
privilege is Of large value. . Upon the
national forests the government APP
plies a system of regulated use de-
signed to encourage production. pro-
mote the upbuilding Of the country
along healthy lines, and secure the
greatest number, but makes only a
moderate charge for the grazing per-
mits.
In view of those in charge Of the
national forest grazing business, it
would be entirely unfair for the pub
lie to forego a maximum return for
the value of use of its property and
then allow those granted the privilege
OF use to collect this value from
others, as the price of surrendering
their privileges. Such a practice
would, they say, make competitive
disposal by the government of the
grazing the only logical course.
AS Secretary Houston says in warn
ing the range users that the payment
of bonuses or the giving Of any con-
sideration be kecuref the filing OF q
waiver OF the kazing privilege is pro-
hibited, Hsuchi& payment would be, al
considerati0n Nor q privilege the
granting of which is. wholly within
the discretion of the government and
for which no one is entitled to re-
ceive compensation" Therefore any
such payment will be sufficient
cause for the revocation Of permit or
forfeiture of all grazing preferences
based upon the purchase of permitted
stock"

Gentlemen: rtt& lttt.a at

the proceeding, and there has been a
definite effort by them to create pub

as to give support to the persons re-
sponsible for the deportations. Ref

the New Mexican, to the men deport-

were all members OF the United Mine

in the United States.
This organization is one Of the
greatest of labor organizations in the
country and is of the highest stand

Because Of the fact that many Of the
