Bill in House of Vital Interest to State Aids Grazing Laws
A long article explains a proposed bill known as the Lever Bill in the House and La Follette Bill in the Senate. It would divide public range into grazing districts, restore worn areas, eradicate poisonous plants, and eject predators.

Twenty five percent of grazing taxes would return to states for schools and roads. Endorsed by the National Live Stock Association and aimed at improving the public range and livestock prices.
