GRAZING PERMITS
WAIVED FOR nine,
NOT SIX MONTHS

Confirming his telegram of De-
cember % stating that w. w. Jar
dine, secretary of agriculture, had
issued an order waving the grazing
fees on the national forests in Ari~
zona for six months more, Congress-
man Carl Hayden has sent the Dis
patch the following copies of his
memorandum to the secretary and
Jardine's reply thereto.
Hayden calls attention to the fact
that although he first understood
that the fees had been waived for
only six months OF 1926, they have
actually been waived for nine months
until October for those holding
annual permits
The congressman memorandum to
Jardine stated:
Memorandum For the Secretary of
Agriculture
Washington, d. c.,
Decembers 22, 1925.
shall be Obliged If you will kind
ly advise me as to what the prospect
is for a further waving of grazing
fees on the national forest in Ari-
zona during the calendar year OF
1926. 1t seems to me in view of the
extreme hardships imposed upon the
stockmen of my state by reason OF
the long continued drouth that, even
though there were sufficient rains
during the past summer, neverthe-
less, they should be given an oppor-
tunity to recover from the natural
after effects. The elimination of graz
ing fees for another year will ma
terially assist then in that regard.
CARL HAYDEN,
M. c. Arizona.
Secretary Jardine replied as fol-
lows:
Department of Agriculture,
Washington,
December 81, 1925
Hon. Carl Hayden:
Reference is made to your memoir
andum of December %.
1 agree with you that the after
effects of the long continued drought
will be felt for some time by the
stockmen in the southwest In con-
sideration of this condition and In
accordance with the recommendations
of the forest service, have author
lied the forester to waive the fees
on all outstanding permits ending
March 81, 1926, and the first payment
of the grazing fees for the grazing
year 1925. /
1t is my belief that the depart
ment should resume it's normal meth
Cd of transacting business at the
earliest opportunity. The plan now
being put into effect will afford Il
rnoaons hv which the Stockmen can
adjust their finances so as to meet
the requirements of the department
at the beginning of the last hai1 OF
the grazing year,
sincerely yours,
