No Immediate Increase
In Forest Grazing Fees
Word has just been received by
District Forester Geo. H. Cecil from
the Forester confirming the report
in recent press dispatches to the
effect that no change will be made in
grazing fees until 1926. The For
ester's letter reads in part:
"After many conferences with the
Secretary, members of Congress,
stockmen, and members of this office,
at which the present condition of
the livestock industry was fully con
sidered, the Secretary has decided
that the industry is in no position to
stand an increase in the grazing fees
in 1925. In announcing this change
of plan I should like to point out
specifically that we do not depart
from the commercial principle in es
tablishing grazing fees."
The letter continues:
"I hope it will be possible to re
ceive full comments from the stock
associations, together with your final
recommendations and reports, not
later than July 1, 1924. We will then
be prepared to secure the Secretary's
approval of a minimum and a maxi
mum fee for each district, based up
on the range appraisal reports. The
Forester will then approfe the fees
for each Forest. During the next
two years the range appraisal data
will be rechecked and supplemented."
Colonel Greeley, now in attendance
at the National Livestock meeting at
Omaha, will formally announce the
Secretary's decision.
In this connection, Mr. Cecil said:
"The first agitation looking to an
increase in fees arose over the feel
ing on the part of feeders in the corn
belt that the western stockmen on the
free public domain and the National
Forests were obtaining grazing priv
ileges at a very low cost and had an
unfair advantage over the feeder in
the corn belt region. The situation
was aggravated by the knowledge that
throughout the West the Indian res
ervations and areas of private land
were leased by stockmen at rates
considerably in excess of those paid
on the National Forests."
Mr. Cecil pointed out that the graz
ing fee controversy finally eame to a
climax in a hearing before the Agri
cultural Appropriation Committee in
1920, when this committee proposed
a straight increase of 300 per cent in
National Forest grazing fee, and said
that this move came near being suc
cessful but was opposed by the For
est Service on the grounds that in
1919 the stockmen had been granted
five-year permits with the promise
that no change in fees would be made
for five years.
In the compromise, therefore, Mr.
Cecil points out, the fees were to re
main unchanged until the expiration
of the five-year permits in 1923, and
during the intervening period the
Forest Service was to make an ap
praisal of its ranges and in 1924
take such action with regard to fees
as the appraisal would Indicate, which
now by the most recent decision of
Secretary Wallace is to be deferred
until 1925 on account of the con
tinued depression of the livestock
industry.
