He Is Told to Keep His Ideas to
Himself.

Boise. Idaho, Sept 5.-The so-called
policy. Of the administration il set
ting aside large areas in the west fos
forest reserves was the subject which
precipitated an acrimonious and at times
sensational debate at last nights sea-
sion of the irrigation congress.
Clifford Pinchot. chief OF the bureau
Of forestry. stated that the policy Of
President Roosevelt was ito give every
part OF the public lands its very best
use" These reserves to a certain ex-
tent control the stock business Of the
vest he said for the chief summer
range is in the reserves. The stockmen
could not be kept OFF entirely at the
demand of the irrigationists- He said
neither could the service let them have
free run Of the reserves.
The speaker stated that some reserves
were practically without trees and one
in Kansas was without a. single tree
facts which had been the subject OF
much criIicism-but it was the purpose
to put trees there.
Senator Hepburn who followed made
a bitter attack on the adnainistras s:1s1's
forestry policy. The people were told
what was the policy of the adniinlstra-
ton, he said. but the administration had
no right to have any policy except as
stated in the statutes. The administra-
ton told the people what he VIII give

ministration to give the people anything.

Congressman Reeder OF Kansas inter
rupted to declare that the president Of
the United States set the reserve aside
and that he probably did so from a pur-

! pressed his belief that the Idaho seua-

motives.
Please keep your ideas to yourself
Mr.. Hepburn. The president Of the

me at your hands"
Senator Hepburn said he did not
question the presidents motives. but
the president had been misled by bad
and not disinterested advisers
When Senator Hepburn asserted
with much vehemence that Mr.
Pinchots theory about forest sub

there were cries Of no, no" and in all
parts of the house there was kissing.

This case said Assistant Attorney
General Fred Jackson, who is to con-
duct the Shawnee end of the investiga-
tions, is very much ike the famous
Jack case. Jack was subpoenaed to the
alleged coal trust Investigations and re-
fused to testify The case went to the
supreme court. There is no question
in my mind but that a harvester trust
exists. There are about nine harvesters
on the market and a good many people
think there are nine separate companies
in the field, but as a matter of fact
there IS but one That one is the In
ternational Harvester company The
International Is chartered under the
laws of New Jersey. 1t is capitalized. at
$100 ,000, 600. 1t manufactures all of the
leading harvesters and its whole output
is taken by the International Harves-
ter company OF America, which is cap
italized at s120, 600, 900. The stock in both
companies is held by the same trustees.
We have been gathering information
against this company for some time and
with the investigation tomorrow I be
heve we will be in a position to show
that the company through its operations
in this state has violated that Kansas
antitrust law.
If satisfactory evidence can be OBJ
tained from the dealers who have been
subpoenaed by the state, Assistant
Attorney Jackson expects to bring ous-
ter proceedings and will prosecute the
company for violating the antitrust law
of the state.

Ex-senator LocEard Refuses to Talk
Politics.

Frank Lockard, formerly one Of the

Don't interview me about politics. -
said Mr.. Lockard. "They called me a
boss back in Norton county. and I
don't want to get that reputation out in
sherman county. I have not been
there long enough to get closely in
touch with politics, and it would look
presumptuous for me to come down
here and seem to talk a q, representa-
tive of Sherman county.
Il will say this, however, that I be-
fieve the western Kansas counties will
be all right in the election. I have
heard of only two Republicans who re-
fuse to vote for HOch. and those two
expect to support the rest of the
ticket. There really isn't much poll
tical talk that I hear, anyway. I live

An effort will be made to secure a
change of venue, as the trial is to be
before the same judge who took it
upon himself not long ago to declare
the state fish and game law uncon-
stitutional.
The sentiment at Lawrence is said to
be in favor of the fish seiners, and the
officers there are not inclined to en-
force the law any further than neces-
sary.
