Is justified in tolling Congress that every man riding 

 on tho Forest - no matter whsro he is going, v/hat he is 

 doing - is a protection against every sort of trespass 

 and a protection against firo in the country. Congress 

 doesn*t know that - and we want to keep that out where 

 Mr. Graves can use it. Yftiat we will do with it after- 

 wards is to cover it right into the operating work in 

 our cost koopong system.
