Appearing before L. H. Douglas, district supervisor of forests, who had discussed defensively and at lengta the history of grazing fees, thelr reasons for being, the basis of their application, and the causes of their having been several times in- creased, Mr. Hagenbarth character- ized the move to again raise the fees as bureaucratic and confiscatory, a principle to be resisted and fought down. In proceeding with his introduc- tory subject, thé president of the na- tional organization portrayed a pic- ture of the other rights of those who pioneered the west, how these rights—really rights of an arduous and life-risking contest—were now endangered. He sounded with great emphasis a ‘varning against other of the country which would rob the west of its hone of advance- ment and -pri that would bur- den the west wif) —— Rass It was ut by Mr: Hag- enbarth that since inate origination to cover administrative costs, graz> ing fees have been pushed up until now they represent three times the cost of conducting the service. There are no objections by, sheep- men, he said, to doubling the fees necessary for administration in order that schools and roads might be ‘ben- efited. Beyond’ that point, the Speaker declared, the burden is-un- just and oppressive. His regular address Mr, Hagen- barth took up at the opening of the afternoon program. ‘Those to follow him were F. W. Clarke, manager of the Federal Taper raselae Credit bank at Omaha; R. T. Keefe, director of the Institute oe ‘American Meat Packers at Chicago; Matt Staff, president of the National Wool Warehouse and Storage company at Chicago, and E. H. Wentworth. War on Animals Paying Dividends First to appear in the program of yesterday afternoon was Charles Bayer of the United States Biological survey who has charge of the work of exterminating predatory animals in Wyoming. Reading from his an- nual report for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1924, he said in part: “Close to $45,000, of federal and state moneys was spent last year in fighting predatory animals in this state. It 1s believed that the work done effected a saving of $164,000 for Wyoming livestock industries. “In all, 3,317 coyotes, wolves, bob- cats and cattle-killing’ bears were killed, according to records kept. At the same time, the number actually stamped out by all agencies, not in- cluding our own, probably reached 36,000. “When the federal men in _ our force are active the skins and pelts they procure are sold and the money turned into the general fund in the national treasury. We have man- aged to use our state appropriation during the winters when the pelts are best, the federal appropriation in summer when the pelts are poor and by these meahs have diverted to the state treasury considerable amounts of money from the sales.” In consequence of the address by Mr, Bayer who declared that wider Scope would be given his organiza- tion and a much greater saying from predatory animal losses would resuit to stockmen were his operating funds increased, the convention was prac- tically unanimous in passing a mo- (Continued on Page Nine.)

Mr. Pelton claims that four mem- bers of the police department went to Cheyenne on three different occa- sions and that they used a city car atid city gas and oil for the purposes, and that although the federal gov- ernment allowed them 10 cents mile- age they kept this for themselves, the expense to the city amounting to ap- proximately $120. On another occa- sion, he claims that members of the engineering department took a city car 86 miles out in the country on a holiday. The resolution which the council pared is as follow: *“Whereag, the City of Casper has invested not far from $100,000 tn roll- ing stock for use in the prosecutién of the city’s business and. “Whereas, this investment is of such a nature that the depreciation at best is excessive, and “Whereas, the greatest conserva- tism must be practiced in the use of this equipment if the investment is to prove economical or in-any ‘Bense} wi le, and ~ ereas, the use. of any of this! t COUNCIL PUTS END TO USE OF CITY’S AUTOS |TQ KILL AFTER FOR PRIVATE PURPOSES |ROBBING VICTIM equipment for other than strictly city business will prove costly to the city and place the city in a posi- tion of spending funds in a manner that is not justified by the economy of this administration and that is not in line with municipal expenses, ne- cessity. or convenience, therefore “Be it resolved that this City Coun- cil forbid the use of city rolling equip- ment and that it is nereby forbid- den to use such equipment for any- thing other than strictly city busi- ness without the consent of coun- ell: ‘That any employee so using sygh equipment of the city for other oe strictly city business shall be deemed to be disobedient to this council’ and that this offense shall be sufficient to justify his dismissal from the employ of the city.” CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 16.
