Warm Contest lictvvoen Plnchot and Congressman Moinlell SetTetarj- of Agriculture Supported by Attorney General In Ills Grazing Charge Wewtern Representatives Working to Have Fee System of Grazing Abolished. Commencing January 1 the forestry bureau will organize a new policy with reference to grazing sheep and cattle In forest reserves, says a Washington dispatch. After that date a fee per head will he charged for the grazing of livestock In the reserves. It Is proposed to charge 5 cents per head for sheep and 25 cents per head for cattle during the season. . This new policy Is meeting with vigorous opposition from the western senators and representatives. Repre sentative Mondell, of Wyoming, called on the chief forester and entered a vigorous protest against the proposed change. He Insisted that It was contrary to established custom, a new departure: that the public lands of the United States hnd always been considered ns belonging to the general public and for free use for grazing purposes. In thlB he was joined by Senator Warren, who entered the office of the chief forester while Mr, Mondell was protesting the proposed change. For ester Plnchot Informed them that the policy had practically been adopted, and that It was useless to protest fur ther. "Then If such a policy Is to be adopted," continued the representa tive, "I trust that you will make the rates reasonable." "We have about decided to charge 6 cents per head for sheep and 26 cents per head for cattle," replied Forester Plnchot. "I think that Is unreasonable," pro tested Mr. Mondell. "In Wyoming. In the mountain section, where you have forest reserves, sheep can only be grazed for a period of two and one half months during the year; cattle can only be grazed from three to four months. To subject the people of Wyoming, where the season Is short, to the same grazing charges as the people of other states would be un reasonable." Mr. Plnchot finally said that he be lieved It would be practicable to re duce the fee one-half In regard to the first 100 head of cattle grazed by a stockman In a reserve, but that the full fee would be charged on any number In excess of 100. Mr. Mondell then Insisted that 2 1-2 cents per head for sheep and 10 cents for oattl would be a reasonable fee anywhere In ths west Tlut chief of k forMtry dlvlsiea stated that h would take this matter under consid -eratlon. Senator Warren also Indorsed tle suggestion of Congressman Monde 11. The necessity for this fee, as ex plained by Forester Plnchot, Is to l.n crease the. revenues of the government for forestry purposes, and at the sa me time give gre.itcr security to livestock men using the forest reserves for the gracing of their herds. 1 He explained that considerable rev enue could be raised from the ch arg Ing of such a fee, and that the gov ernment would then give grr uting leases or permits up to the full pas turage capacity of ench reserve; that those obtaining permits to graze i iheep and cattle the first year would have a preference right In future 'ears; nnd thnt It would give them gt ter security In providing pasture for : their herds In the future than they hmd at present. The representatives and se nntors from Montana, Idnho. Wash ington. OrcKon nnd other forest reserve; slates will enter similar protests, an id they hope thnt hy concerted action the fee may bo minimized. The right of the secretary of agri culture to Impose such a fi It Is claimed, Is doubtful. During the last congress he attempted on t' iree dif ferent occasions to secure 1 (glslatlott giving him nuthority to ch rrge fees for using the public domnln . for pas turage purposes. Each til ne Con gressman Mondell defea ,ld the amendments to the npproprl etlon bills, he helng on the commltte o on con ference, nnd succeeded In s'trlhlng out tho amendments In conference-. After congress adjourned last 'March the secretary called on the s.ttori icy gen eral for an opinion ns to ds right to charge n fee under the exli ting law. Attorney General Knox ren dered nn opinion In which he held th.r t the sec retary had this right. Abl . lawyers, however, doubt the soundni ;ss of the attorney general's opinion and when It is nttempted to enforce the sys tem a test suit will probabfj r be made. In the meantime, however, the west ern members are taking t) me by the forelock and using their utmost In fluence to minimise the- ' fees to be charged.

As given in "The Rhymers' Lexicon," by Andrew Lang, they are as follows: A itch, alb, amongst, avenge, bilge, bourn, breadth, brusque, bulb, coif, conch, culm, cusp, depth, doth, eighth, fifth, film, forge, forth, fugue, gulf, hemp, lounge, mauve, month, morgue, mourned, mouth, ninth, oblige, of, peart, pint porch, pork, poulp, prestige, puss, re cumb, sauce, scarce, scarf, sixth, spoilt, Bwoln, sylpb, tenth, torsk, twelfth, un plagued, volt, warmth, wasp, wharves, width, with, wolf, wolves. A critic adds that It Is not clear why Mr. Lang places "mouth" In this list. It seems to rhyme with "south." The Uosqnlto Plant.
