DECISION IN TELEPHONE CASE.
Idaho People Oppose National Control
i'm State Affairs,

Boise. Idaho, June 9-The decision
of the United States supreme court
I'm the government telephone case, up
holding the authority of Postmaster
General Burleson in rate making in
the states. is of concern to Idaho peo-
pie only because of thep rinciple in.
volved and not because of the rate in.
crease ordered by the postmaster gen
eIal
This is plainly shown by the fact
that the public in Idaho, approaching
the necessity for increased rates be-
cause of the heavy increase in cost Of
material and in wages, paid the bill
without protest and bf reason of the
further fact that there is growing
dissatisfaction with the ever-increas-
ing power granted by congress to the
national administration over affairs Of
a purely state character.
! Idaho people, it is shown by their
spirit in cheerfully paying the increase
to meet the governments telephone
deficit I'm Idaho, are thoroughly game.
They are not pikers or kickers when
a fair demand is made on them: but
as they recognize the justice of the
raised rate and support it, they also
recognize the injustice of federal con
troll of state affairs and oppose it en-
ergetically.
Idaho must run its own house, they
contend, and pay the bills, therefore
Idaho should be the judge of rates tC
be paid by its citizens to the public
utilities, all of which will be treated
fairly and encouraged to erpand to the
maximum in the interest of genera
development.
The protest against unnecessary en-
croachment of national control upoI
the states will take the form of indi
vidual and community appeals to con
gress for legislative remedies.

FOREST SERVICE AIDING

Excerpts from an article by Will

improve the breeding Of cattle grazed

service were asked to enforce the laws
Of a certain western range state in re-
gard to the number and breeding of
bulls used on the stock ranges within
the national forests there. A state
law provided that every stock man
turning cattle loose on the public do
main must furnish at least one bull of
good grade for every % cows. This
has been the law for 80 years, and
one could have searched in vain the
records of every court in the state for
a. single case where It's enforcement
had been undertaken through court
action. 1t was a'case of LET George
do it," and as usual. George" failed
dismally. The majority of small cat
tlemen waited for the big outfits to
buy the bulls. Some of the latter
spent money lavishly In the purchase
of well-bred bulls, only to have the
best of them driven from the ranges
and closeherded with some nesters
milk cows or shut up with lot of Sc
lected cows in the home pasture of
some small cattle-owner who hoped
through some such means to secure a
supply Of half-bred bulls for his range
needs.

adjoining ranges, occupied by the cat

to spend a dollar of their money in
buying bulls of any kind.
On the open public domain there is
absolutely no authority to which al
appeal can be made for the enforce

chaos personified, so far as bulls are
concerned. With the creation of the
national forests, having some definite
authority over the handling of the
cattle on the ranges In them, the pro

for obtaining several improvements in
the old manner of handling range
herds. They therefore took then
troubles to the forest officers, and ask
ed their help In finding way to keel
scrub bulls off the ranges, and replace
them with purebred animals; also tt
make each owner furnish his proper
share of these necessary adjuncts t.

officers studied the matter carefully
The service promised that whenever al

ity each and every permittee using the
range involved must abide by that rule
or forfeit his grazing priyileges-a
thing which nowadays has real, ac-
tual value, and which few permittees
will risk losing.
AS a result of this agitation by for
est officers of the pure bull idea, nearly
all Of the western range states have
placed Upon their statute books
laws which call for purebred bulls
everywhere, and it. takes no prophet
nor the son of prophet to predict the
end. The scrub on the open ranges
Of the west must not only go, but he
is going, and that rapidly. On the adj
vice of experts, those forest regulations
as well as most of the state laws call
for either registered or purebred ami
mails.
There is another angle to this spec
ial rule business which rather took the
breath out of the forest officers when
first placed before them. Within the
last year three live stock associations
have secured the approval of the for
ester for rule that requires the de-
horning of every bovine animal using
the ranges on the forest occupied by
the association. This dehorning bust
ness was another problem for the for
est officers to scratch their heads over
for 1t was even more radical and dras-
tic than was the first bull rule. Here
was large majority. however, of in
terested stockmen asking for such a
rule and pledging themselves to oh
serve its requirements. 1t was ap
proved. Today we have three such
special rules. in force. One. the first
association to adopt it, in Oklahoma
another in Oregon, and the third and
last in Idaho.
The effect of this bull constructive
movement on the improved bull pro
ducing industry of this country car
hardly be overestimated. Western
range men are grazing on the nationa
forests almost 100000 cattle alone
while on the adjoining public domain
ranges, 100000 more are handled
The men using the open ranges on thu
lpublic domain cannot enforce sucl
laws as fully as they can on the fores
ranges. where federal officers are read.
to see that each stockman does his full
share; but nevertheless the leaven o
good blood is bound to spread, and tina
rapidly, and within the coming years
the demand for good bulls from tn
western states will undoubtedly b.
heavy.
