$1,500.
This is unfair neglect of single

Failure of citizens to vote and
"interlocking of business and

tion of the specific reduction above
recommended" He feels that these
reductions will be fair and reasonable
and that the acceptance of these fees
will not promote an increase in rates
for grazing land leases in forest
states, but may accomplish an oppo-
site result.
Relative to range improvements,
Mr.. Easement says the permittees
certainly deserve far greater consid-
Grafton than they have ever received.
More fences and water development
would contribute largely to the prop
er conservation of the forests, to their
greater usefulness, to the profits of
the permittee, and to government
revenues derived from grazing. To
withhold the means needed to make
these improvements appears to be an
absurd and short-sighted policy. Per-
mittees would cheerfully pay in
creased fees if they could be assured
that sum equal to the increase
would be made available for range
improvements"

Mr.. Easement believes that the Gre

users of these resources far more
than the unrestricted use of an unre-
served and unappropraited public

GRAZING FEE REVISION TO COME

tofore followed by the Forest Serv-
ice" The other methods which have
been proposed for fixing grazing fees,
| namely, the cost-of- production plan,
the competitive-bi system, apprais-
ing a few sample ranges to be used
as standards, and basing the value Of
the range on the market value of live
stock Mr.. Easement dismisses as mi
practicable.
In reference to the grazing home
stead and forest homestead acts, Mr..
Easement says that the former "has
fallen far short of accomplishing such
results as could have been the only
reasonable excuse for its enactment.
In practice, it has plainly failed to
benefit permanently or substantially
those who have filed on 640-acre
tracts"
In respect to the letter he says that
"only in very exceptional cases has
it benefited the true homeseeker in
the slightest degree, while it has seri-
ously hampered the operations of es-
tablished permittees on the forests
and has heavily handicapped the work
of the forest service in handling the
grazing problem"
While Mr.. Easement admits that
there are good reasons why grazing
fees should not be increased at this
time, due to the fact that the range
business has not fully revived from
the great depression, he thinks "long-
er delay in reaching a decision on the
report will not help to stabilize or
truly to benefit the business of forest
grazing, and may rebound to the dis
advantage of both the permittees and
the forest service"
Mr.. Easement recommends an arbi-
trary reduction in. the appraisal fees
for Oregon and California to bring
them to the same general level as the
average fees proposed for districts l.,
2 and A, and says my belief that So
cial and economic principles have
been, and should continue to be, ap-
piled in the administration of forest
grazing leads me to recommend that
precise recognition of these principles
be given by general reduction in
the proposed fees, this reduction to
be made subsequently to the applica-
