Land Convention Results at Denver Cattlemen Win Legal Stand
Western land meeting closes with plans to sue the government over forest reserve grazing tax. Chief Forester Pinchot agrees to file against Fred Light of Aspen, to be carried to the Supreme Court to test the constitutionality of forest reserve regulations. Colorado cattlemen, represented by the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers Association and the State Stock Inspection Board, will defend Light. The case hinges on whether the federal rule can curb grazing on reserves without state fencing obligations, and may redefine state sovereignty in land use.
