veteran or not. With loss of this land
I had to curtail operations and sell
my sheep. 1 would like to continue
this game because / was born and
raised on a sheep ranch and I feel
I know as much about that as any
thing else. But I hate to buy and
pay for something that I do not re-
ceive a title to and also to buy at
these inflationary prices you might
not be able to pay out over a period
of time which would undoubtedly in
clude some cheap prices.
No Special Privilege
I do not feel that the veteran
should be set aside as an exclusive
class and also feel that much that
is being done in legislation with an
eye for votes can in the long run be
of no benefit to anyone.
After our other wars, many vet
Grams could claim homesteads, and
while many did not make good, some
people did and today live on those
homesteads with perhaps additional
acreage accumulated over the years.
Today these state leases and Tay-
Tor grazing are given out for 10-year
periods, with the lessee having prior
right of renewal, so it becomes diff
ficult to run any stock except by OUT
right purchase of land. I feel that if
this land is SO situated In regard to
your other holdings there should be
some way you could have access to
it as well as your neighbors.
/ will close with this and whether
you agree with me or not I want to
thank you for reading what I have
to say.-Harry E. Anderson, Beaver

VETERAN v SLANT
ON PUBLIC LANDS

I NOTICED the editorial in your
Feb. Is issue about the memorial to
let veterans acquire submarginal
lands.
I am not one who writes to kick
about everything that is being done
for or against the veteran. I am also
a veteran as you no doubt surmised
but, 1 assure you, o through cir
cumstance than preference.
Before the War
Before the war / had a small
bunch of sheep which / ran mostly
on leased land that I found plentiful
at that time. Then came the war
and I was drafted and I did not ask
for nor did I receive any deferment.
I, of course, found it necessary to
curtai1 operations for a period of four
years.
When I returned I, of course,
wanted to Jul operations, and I
did considerable looking around for
a place to start in.
/ sold out at a comparatively low
postwar price and nov had to buy
back at a high inflationary figure
and the money would not go as far
or buy as much.
I was somewhat fortunate that I
did not have to buy Immediately, as
a sheepman had recently died and
I was able to lease his range land
Among this land was some Taylor
lease that he had leased but on his
death had reverted to the govern
ment. I made lease application for
this land and a neighbor did like
wise, but I continued to use the land
for two years. The man I had leased
from had used this land as public
domain and as Taylor grazing for a
period of 80 years.
Last year in February, two years
after I had made application, I re-
ceived a letter from Washington, D.
c., that they had found this land es-
sential to the base lands of my
neighbor, and he was given the lease
and my application rejected. They
completely ignored the fact that he
had never used it or had a right to
use it and that 1 was on the land
and had used it in the two-year in
term period.
Called a Trespasser
Now I am informed that the two
years / used it l was in trespass and
