COMNITTFI 'USEES ON LEASINU BILL
A Washington dispatch says:
Without com hiding it- hc-armi-upon
the liurkett amendment to
the agricultural appropriation bill
providing for the leasing of the
puhlu lands lor grazing, the senate
iinnittee t inlay agreed to adopt
1 the amendments. Several amend
( 111 en I to the liurkett proposition
were adopted, however designed
to protect the interests of the
homesteaders. The poUc) out
lined which is lavorrd In the
president was agreed upon by a
bare majority of the committee, it
is not unlikely that a Hint of
may he made against it in the scn

One amendment provides that
1 the secretary of agriculture shall
: organize graxing districts. The
department of agriculture is to
exercise control of and lix the fees
to be charged for grai::g
ult. I, as you probably are nirarc
have Hnii opposed to the manage
ment of the forest reserve in the
manner it is being conducted, and
have tried to get some harking
from the stock organization Hut
tM J time Mr. I'inchot goes out
and meets the stockmen, they seem
9 endorse his plans. Now. had
there been the right sort of a cam
paign made by the stockmen
against charging for pasturage in
the forest reserve, that policy would
have been defeated I went out
against it at once, but rnuld not
get the stockmen to hack me up
However, it mav be that this BOllo
serves their interests iest.
Now. so far as the forestry olli
cials not permitting ou to turn
our stock out. or to enter upon the
forest reserve before .lime, or any
other tiui". is concerned, that is all

lie no oil uce against IBS law In
other words, there is no law mak
ing it I erime for cattle to he turn

If any official tails you that he will

I wish you would give me his name
