A Washington special to the Port
land Oregonian says, recommenda
tions against the enactment of the
Stanfield grazing bill, prepared and
submitted to the senate by the jun
ior senator from Oregon after an
exhaustive inquiry last summer by a
subcommittee of the senate public
lands committee, of which he is
chairman, will be submitted to con
gress by Secretary of Interior Hu
bert Work, it was learned.
Secretary work urges congress in
stead to pass the Phipps bill, which
places the general administration of
grazing regulations over the nation
al forest area in the hands of the
general land office.
Among the provisions of the Stan-
field bill to which Secretary Work
is particularly opposed is that for
creation of local board to pass on
crazing contracts without right of
review by departmental officials,
here. This, according to the secre
tary would constitute "an unwise
and unwarranted surrender of gov-
ernmental power and duties.
Mr. Work is opposed also to the
section of the Stanfield measure, up-
which committee hearings will
i begin, which would require a
petition of users of a grazing area
before a grazing district could be
established. He believes he sees in
this a joker by which a certain num
ber of large users could combine to
defeat federal supervision. Such
previsions, he avers, would go a long
way toward removing control by the
federal government.
The secretary also objects to the
plan for placing grazing districts
under the charge of registrars of the
local land offices, believing the gen
eral land office here is the proper
body to exercise that function, as it
already has the machinery to exer
cise it properly.
A marked difference of opinion
between Mr. Work and the secretary
of agricutlure, William M. Jardine,
regarding grazing control, is brought
to light in the former's recommen
dations, which express the opinion
that the administration of grazng
lands should not be included in that
of national forests. Jardine believes
it should continue there.
