domain. These great forage resources should be kept at a high 
degree of productivity. 
Utilization of the forage resources in the national forests should 
be based upon express authority of law, with preservation of the 
primary purpose of the national forests. 
In order that there may be the fullest development in use of 
the forage resources which are in the hands of the federal govern- 
ment in our western states, there should be legislation giving the 
departments of the federal government which have jurisdiction as 
to national forests and the public domain authority to provide regu- 
lations which will at once maintain and improve forage resources 
and at the same time stabilize the live-stock industry through such 
means as grazing permits covering terms of years, a reasonable 
system of fees, proper allocation of the number of cattle and sheep 
which may be grazed, and measures in aid of administration which 
will assure use and enjoyment by all concerned. (Resolution, 
Fourteenth Annual Meeting, 1926.) 
ARBITRATION 
COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION 
Regarding arbitration as a most desirable and economic method 
of adjusting commercial disputes, the Chamber reaffirms its advocacy 
of this method of settling commercial disputes and urges the passage 
of laws in the various States that will promote commercial arbitra- 
tion in adjusting questions which arise in the interpretation and 
fulfillment of contracts. (Resolution, Ninth Annual Meeting, 
1921.) 
AUTOMOBILES 
CERTIFICATION OF TITLES 
All of the States should adopt the principle of certification and 
registration of automobile titles as one of the most important and 
effective means of reducing thefts. This legislation should be 
uniform and contain adequate provision for enforcement with proper 
penalties for violations. (Resolution, Twelfth Annual Meeting, 
1924.)
