They were still considered rights, which could be mortgaged even after the passage of the Taylor Grazing Act in 1934 up into the 1970's when the BLM and Forest Service began aggressivly forcing ranchers off the range and outof business.



And again you fail to realize in 1916 there wasnt many subjects that were white. Whites didnt become subjects by the hundreds of thousands until after the Social Security Act by which they applied for a ssn.
Show me where in any one of the bill of rights that grazing is mentioned?
