NO DANGER OF TARIFF REVISION F.!
The Protected Trusts Have the Matter Well in Hand and They
viii See that Nothing Conflict With Their Interests.

The fact that 1t seems to be gen.
orally agreed that there will be no
tariff revision at this session Of con-
gress should provide food for those
republicans who, having no ak to
grind. are chiefly concerned In the
public welfare. Why are we not to
have tariff revision? Is Ii because
public interests or public sentiment
does not demand 1t? There is album.
dant testimony, even for one who
does not take the democratic view OF
the tariff question, to show that pub
lie interests demand tariff revision,
while the very earnest and renewed
appeals made by republicans all over
the country In favor OF revision of
the tariff ought to convince even
those who are usually nom observing
that such revision would be clearly
in line with present day public senti-
ment.
The republican party must certainly
be a well disciplined organization else
the stand-patters OF this period
would not advance proposition
which, we make bold to say, is con-
troverted not only by the opinion OF
the rank and file OF republicans but
has been publicly repudiated by some
of the most distinguished republican
statesmen and editors.
In this day the trusts find in the
tariff larger shelter than they ever
before enjoyed. and the American
public feels more keenly than at any
other time In history the impositions
due to an enormously high protective
tariff. Even the men VINO framed
the preseLt tariff law had no idea
that the American people would long
tanlely submit TO those rates, and we
have 1t on the authority Of Senator
Dolliyer, of Iowa, that Mr.. Dingley
explained that many OF the rates in
bis tariff bill we're purposely placed
high In order that they might be
used in bringing about reciprocity
with other countries. But now re-
publican leaders refuse to make any
serious moves in behalf Of reciprocity,
and at the same time they insist up
on maintaining the exorbitant rates.

DUBOIS SPEAKS ON FOREST RESERVE
Although Friend Of the System lie Says il Has Been (d-
rRd too Far by the Department.

need no defense, but unfortunately
the forestry service has gone too fast.
They have put too much land into
forest reserves, In my own staet, In
one OF their recent reservations they
have taken large tracts OF grazing
land where there is no forest at all.
They are stirring up the animosity OF
the west. Unless they call halt,
they will have the west almost OPP
posed to the policy OF forest reserves
They are not using good Judgment.
They should go slower. Forest re-
serves Is new enterprise in our
country.
Tine forester now has over 100,
900. 600 acres under his control. lie
has to patrol them; he has all this
force TO look after, and 1t requires
great executive ability. He ought
to learn by experience. He ought
not TO add to his responsibilities.
am quite clear that. unless a halt is
called there will be a storm..of pro
test around his ears from the home
seekers, the homesteaders and the
settlers which may injure the whole
policy of forest reserves, IL not de-
Stroy 1t.
much less, Mr.. President, ought
he to attempt TO add to his other
cares and responsibilities all the
grazing land OF the west There aie
many objections to 1t, In addition to
that OF putting this added response
bility on the head OF the forestry
bureau. Our people are opposed to
it. We think we know If the gov
eminent has charge OF those grazing
lands they will quickly fall into the
hands OF the large stock owners. As
my friend from South Carolina (Mr.
Tillman) said moment ago, after
confessing that he knew nothing
about 1t and was asking for light,
they will get control Of the water,
and thereby control over all the land.
Our own people In the different states
can take care OF these grazing lands
better than the United States gov
eminent can.
1.-The cattlemen and sheepmen
ought not to be compelled TO go to
the employees Of the forestry bureau
In order to get permits to Craze their
herds on these lands. 1t is well
enough for the forester to regulate
the grazing lands In forest reserves,
but that bureau ought TO stop the
creation OF those needless forest re.
serves. When they create proper for.
est reserves, 1t Is we'll for the forester
to regulate the grazing land within
them in order to protect them from
fire, in order TO see that the timber
is not destroyed. in older to provide
pasturage properly; for great many
reasons it is we'll that he should TAX,
charge Of 1t. hardly think, how
ever, that he should charge cattle
and sheepmen for the privilege Of
grazing on those lands. Capita

Gated that policy on the floor C: the

the forestry division. am strong
advocate OF the forest reserve policy
now. In the western country irriga-
ton, In my Judgment cannot con-
tinue successfully unless the forests
are preserved at the heads Of the
streams. In my own state, for in
stance, there are some 1000, 900 acres
Of land now, under the Carey act be
ing made ready for settlers. We
have to store water, and all the
water Is being utilized. There is
scarcely any unused water left In any
OF the western states. We must util.
ize every drop possible. We must re.
sort to storage reservoirs as we are
doing 10 the great Jackson lake just
below the Yellowstone Park. At
this junction between Wyoming and
Idaho and Montana we have built a
reservoir which has been partially
completed within the last three OF
four weeks. 1t adds, as it Is now
built, 100000 acre-feet of water ia
the Snake river. This will supply
the Minidoka project In Idaho with
sufficient water and leave a surplus
which Is much needed for other lands
already under cultivation.
''We shall store eventually in that
lake the water to irrigate 1900, zoo
acres Of additional land. All that
region Is In forest reserve. II

waters. 1t is so in regard to the
other states.
1.-THE northern part OF my state
where my colleague lives, has the
finest timber land left In the United
States. The only great belt OF white
pine timber now standing is In north
Idaho. One syndicate alone owns
500, 900 acres OF that white pine tim
Der. without forest reserves, In my
judgment, the syndicate would soor
own 1t all. 1t is not sufficient an
swer to say that when they cut thi.
timber 1t goes into buildings and /,

This is not a sufficient answer. Whei
these syndicates get through cutting
the timber, that is the end of it; tn,
timber Is destroyed. Under the for
est reserve policy, after they cut th'
timber the land is reforested aud tn,
timber will be there for the genera
lions which are to come after us
The government culls out what tim
bei shall be cut, reserving the re
mainder, SO that there is a constan
and continuous growth, which vii
go on for years to come.

the country prosperity conditions have
prevailed except in respect of ready
money. And careful readers must
have noted that during the last two
or three weeks the situation is bright
ening everywhere, because the finan-
ciers of the country having prosperity
conditions to work with are enabled
to relieve the tense conditions. They
cannot do it in a minute but they are
making rapid progress. In those To-
calities there was an actual lack Of
money as well as a lack of confidence
which made the first condition harder
to overcome.
But in the Salt River valley what
little trouble exists is purely a lack of
confidence. Better prosperity condi-
lions prevail here than anywhere bet
ter conditions than ever prevailed here
in times past, and there is probably
more money in the valley right now
than there ever was. The only thing

pacity to sustain, and this in my
opinion is one of the most proper
powers for this government to ex
ercise. | believe further that act
ing as trustee for the people in
holding these lands the govern
ment is guilty of breach of trust
if 1t does not quickly and with a
strong, firm hand prevent the
waste and improvident use of
their great national resource and
make such rules and regulations
as will guarantee ITS present value
and continue its use without any
threatening danger to its value
1t IS needless for me to 60 deeply
into the reasons. They have been
set forth before you. The public
range has been taken and used by
every one-it has been over
grazed and in many instances its
value impaired. We know that
conflicts have occurred between
conflicting interests We know
that damage TO property has re-
suited and frequently loss OF lite
has occurred also. These things
will be practically eliminated
when the government exercises
its power and performs its duty
in controlling that range.

GRAZING ON PUBLIC DOMAIN.
Speech Of Hon. NJ D. Vincent before the National Irrigation
Congress Held Sacramento, Cal. Sept. H. 1907.

Mr.. President before proceed
ing with my address / shall
change the subject 1t now reads,
Leasing of Public Domain" |
shall address my remarks to this
question. Federal Control of
Grazing upon the Public Domain,
and the Methods under which
that Control should be Exercised. e"
Hand in hand with the recla-
nation and the forest reserve
policy now being carried out by
the present National administra-
tion ought also to be carried out
the management and control-a
general supervision OF the public
domain not embraced IN national
forests and valuable chiefly for
grazing purposes. The power of
the government in that respect IS
the same as its power IN its excr-
else OF jurisdiction over forest
lands. As the Supreme Court OF
the United States has said, this
government holds title to all OF
the public domain as a trustee
for all the people. and further
that Congress has all necessary
power to make such needful
rules and regulations tor the con-
troll. regulation and supervision of
use of that land and its protection
as the premises demand. Having
tina, power. what is the duty of
the government Certainly II
cannot be evaded. 1, is objected
that because the government has
not exercised this power. because
for a long time IT has been recre-
ant to the trust il holds for the
public and many persons have
had the privilege OF using with
out restraint or control the public
domain for grazing purposes the
question should be let alone
That is no argument. have no
doubt il you would ask any man
who has used the property OF any
one else for his own enrichment.
and as he saw ht. what he most
desired. his reply would be. keep
your hands off. | would like to be
let alone"
AS Mr.. Potter has so clearly
stated. however, this morning. the
very stability and permanency OF
the live stock industry in the west
rests upon a preservation of the
forage upon the public domain.
and the preservation of the range
forage can only be had by the ex-
ercise of supervisor and contol
that will prevent over grazing
