National Parks Bulletin GRAZERS AFTER PERMANENT RIGHTS IN FORESTS Sheep and Cattle Interests Disclose Purpose of Senate Investigation, and Demand that There Shall be no More National Parks in the West AT THE last session of Congress a resolution passed the J\ Senate directing a sub-committee of the Public Lands Committee "to investigate all matters relating to national forests and the public domain and their administration." As "all matters" in this instance involved the voluminous, intricate, technical details of administering more than 600,000 square miles of federal lands, the title was plainly Pickwickian, and the Committee's actual and only point of attack was seen as Forest Service control of grazing within its own lands. The Committee, which, except for Senator Dale of Vermont, consisted solely of representatives of states where grazing interests dispute control of the national forests, further clarified its object in the remarks made by Senator Ashurst in opening the first of twelve hearings in Arizona, his own state, on August 6 last, addressing a gathering of neighborhood grazing men of all degrees. Offers the Senate's Assistance "We wish—we solicit—your information," said Senator Ashurst. "You know the burdens under which the cattlemen, the sheepmen, and the miners are laboring. We want you to give us the facts in a plain way, so that the reporters may be able to take down these facts and this information, and that we may in turn have them printed and deliver them to the Senate of the United States with our report. "Gentlemen, unfortunately it is true that the homesteader, the sheep raiser, the woolgrower, and the prospector in Arizona, instead of being treated as a citizen of dignity, instead of having a badge of honor pinned on him, has by some of the bureaus of our Government been treated as an object of suspicion and contempt. We assure the miners, the prospectors, the cattle and sheep raisers that we regard them as citizens of dignity and importance in the life of this Republic. "The cattle and sheep industry is about to be exterminated in Arizona. If the Senate of the United States can render any assistance, we as its servants and as its committee are anxious to do so, and we expect you gentlemen, without fear or favor, to tell us of your situation, of your distress, tell us what you think we ought to recommend to the Senate to relieve the livestock industry in Arizona.'' But it was at Salt Lake City, where hearings were held on August 26 and 27, that the purpose was fully disclosed. On the two days preceding this hearing, a convention was held in the same city preparatory thereto. It consisted of two hundred delegates of the National Woolgrowers Association and the American Livestock Association, representing these interests in eleven western States. Resolutions which were passed to present to the Senate Committee, and which were so presented the following day by the presidents of the Associations, follow: Resolutions Concerning National Forests 1. That by law there be a recognition, definition, and protection of rights to grazing upon National Forest Ranges upon an area basis. 2. That such rights shall be based upon established priority and preference at the time of the enactment of the law. 3. That such rights be definite and transferable, without penalty, with provision for egress and ingress from and to ranges, and subject to provisions neces sary for the protection of other resources of the National Forests. 4. That the holders of such rights shall be responsible for wilful damage done by them to resources of the forests. 5. That the exercise of such rights shall be such as will insure the beneficial use of the grazing resource as considered from the standpoint of general business welfare. We favor equitable protection to communities, to the small farmer and stock-raiser, to the wild life, and to recreational facilities. 6. That no charge basis shall be made effective in such law which results in depreciating investment values in the privately owned dependent properties of the holders of such rights, and that provision be made for returning whatever amounts are collected for grazing to the state. 7. It is the consensus of opinion that the Rachford report is based upon unsound economic principles and therefore should not be adopted. 8. Having adopted our recommendations as above, it must naturally follow that any contested point arising between holders of rights and the Government can finally be taken to the United States District Court. Resolutions Concerning the Public Domain The condition in the various sections of the Public Domain in different States is so varied and often opposite that no definite and complete blanket can be formulated that will equitably and effectively apply to all states, and therefore we recommend to the Public Lands Committee that— 1. Its hearings in the various States must of necessity largely determine the scope and details of such a plan or plans as properly may be formulated for the different States and make effective such legislation as seems necessary, if any, for a solution of the Public Domain problem. 2. That any principles underlying a grazing use of the Public Domain must recognize: (a) The necessity for definiteness of control in the operator. (b) A charge basis which does not depreciate investment values in privately owned properties dependent upon the use of such ranges. (c) That priority and use shall be the general basis of the granting of right to occupy such ranges. 3. That preceding any application of any law to this problem, the public domain should be classified as to its proper use with reference to the best economic development and benefit to the general public. 4. Any law enacted covering this matter should be based upon the principle of local option in States or grazing districts. Resolution Concerning National Parks and Federal Game Preserves That there be no further extensions to present National Parks and that no new parks or Federal Game Preserves be created in the States of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

This 1925 issue of the National Parks Bulletin includes an article titled, “A National Park in the Great Smoky Mountains” by Robert Sterling Yard (1861-1945). A Washington D.C.-based organization, the National Parks Association was established in 1919 with a mission “To mobilize our federal lands in the service of outdoor recreation and education.” Yard, a writer and wilderness activist, was the association’s secretary and the editor of the bulletin. This issue contains a 1925 map of the proposed Great Smoky Mountains National Park and several photographs. While this bulletin is in the collection of the George Masa Papers, the photographs do not carry a photographer’s name.
