lutions instead of bullets are being
used by stockmen of the West to
secure settlement of range dis
putes.
This was evident here following
a meeting of stockmen and hay
growers.
In the old days, differences over
grass started range wars in which
blood flowed and bitter feuds tore
communities asunder.
Now under the Taylor grazing
law, with the vast public domain
subject to regulations, contending
parties are appealing to the Secre-
tary Of the Interior. Stockmen
and haygrowers who feel they have
been unjustly denied rights to the
range are firing resolutions and not
six shooters.
Under the guidance Of R. N.
Stanfield, former United States
Senator from oregon, who once
sponsored a grazing act in Con-
greSs, the Malheur county group
asked Secretary Ickes to cause a
competent survey to be made Of
the range before any reduction in
the number of livestock permitted
on the public range is made"
