u. S. COAL LANDS
HELD FOR NATION,
President, Through Secretary Hitchcock
Adops La Toilette pooner
Plan

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 3O.-A Washing
tom correspondent OF The Tribune says:
"Sccrctary Hitchcock, by direction of the
President, Aas issued an order withdraw
ing from entry G,OOO.OOO acres of public
lands which are known to possess work
able coal. The order perhaps is in CON
travontion OF Il revised statute. which
provides that all valuable mineral drp"S
its on lands belonging To the United
States are free and open 10 purchase.
The examination by the geological sur
vcy in accordance with the Instructions
of the President developed that there
were If.OOpOOO acres OF public land he
li"ycd to contain coal deposits. The
President, though, desired the withdraw
al of only those sections known to pos
soss workable conl.
The coal lands withdrawn are situ-
atcd in New Mexico. Colorado, Utah,
Wyoming, North Dakota. Montana, Orc
gun and Washington.
Action Declared Socialistic.
THE action Of the President aud Sec
rotary Hitchcock in this matter is social
istic in the extreme. 1t means that the
government has taken possession of coal
lands capable of supplying the nation
with an indefinite amount of iucl.
Congress has not authorized anything
of the kind. though the President in his
message transmitting the report of Com
missioner of Corporations Garfield In re-
gard TO the Standard Oil corporation de-
clared that the time had come when no
oil or coal lands held by the govern
mcut should he aiiennted. The Prcsi-
dent expressed the opinion that the fee
to such lands should be kept in the Unit
ed States government and leased on such
terms and for such periods as would
.uahlc the government to keep entire
control thereof.
Congress Fails to Act,
Senator La Toilette introduced "cso-
buttons To attain this result aud Senator
Spooncr was approached by Secretary
Hitchcock with n view 10 securing the
Incorporation of Il provision in an appro-
priation bill authorizing the President 10
locate and withdraw from entry all pub
lie coal lands. But Congress adjourned
without action, and the President aud
Secretary Hitchcock, after thorough con
sidcration of the subject. decided to net
without specific Legislative authority.

and the House who were getting ready
