Whole Corporation Question Open.

From The Indianapolis News
1t is we'll understood that the trust
question has hardly had even a surface
scratch, and the whole question Of cor
porate accountability is yet to be prop

ress OF modern methods in industry has
created the question. We could not sup

were sufficient twenty-five years ago. So
We are in a way dealing with things as
fundamental as natural forces. They
are the stun OF which our civilization

involved is their proper subordination TO
the rights Of society and their accounta-

Big Task for Waterways Commission.

States the coal prices range from l2ls to
Is per cent higher than they ought 70 be.
The reason for this assigned by the
government experts. is that proper care
has not been exercised IN mining. that in
some points the mines are very little
more than half worked, and that by cave
ins the coal that is left in the mines is
rendered inaccessible.
II is asserted. the the assertion being
backed up with statistics. that almost
the same condition exists with regard 10
the supply of iron. Il is estimated on a
conservative basis that iron prices are
at least p per cent higher than they
should be II II were not for the present
state OF exhaustion. The discovery OF
Iron Mountain, in Missouri. is recalled.
when. in 1851. even the technical publ
cations rejoiced in the apparent fact that
at last an absolutely inexhaustible supply
Of iron had been discovered. Iron Noun
tain has virtually been pulled up by
the roots
So the government experts in this line
or another go on TO show that the coun-
try has been running wild in its waste
Of resources. and that it is time the PEG
pie of the country should wake up TO 4
realization Of the true condition OF af-
fairs. These government officers, who de-
clare the estimates are under rather than
over the real situation, say 1t is not with
any intention to give out scare stories
that they state what they do, but simply
to start the people thinking But the cry
against the destruction of the country's
natural resources cannot, they say, be
sounded too loudly or too far

be seen that the deliberations and con-
illusions of the commission VIII not con-
Germ the subject of inland waterways nav
igation alone. but will be OF interest TO

doubtedly, in the forthcoming conference
on the conservation Of natural resources.
TO be held next spring. The authorities OF
the commission say that, as yet, they
have not arrived at a conclusion or de-
cided on a plan by which the end they
have in view can be accomplished. II is
great question. they say-the greatest
question now before the nation, and one

people Of the country. who. the commits
sion say, are showing an ever-increas-
ing interest in the movement toward con-
servatism.
1t is expected that the commission will
have something to say on the general
movement at its meeting Monday week.
and therefore arises the interest which Is
showing itself in all communications
which the commission Is receiving.
The Washington herald., 1907-11-17

Nine months ago, when the commission
was appointed. the feeling that some
steps must be taken to conserve the
natural resources Of the country was
limited. 1t was confined almost 70 those
who had made q study of existing con-
ditions along the various lines OF govern
ment field work. The public at large. ex-
cept in those sections of the country
where the waste OF certain resources was
most apparent did not realize the extent
Of the destruction that had been going
on for years, or the immediate need that
steps be taken 20 curb it. The one ex-
ception was the forests. which, through
the efforts of Clifford Pinchot. United
States forester, the people had begun TO
realize could not last much longer at the
rate Of destruction that had been going
on In certain sections the people had
been awakened by the exhaustion OF one
resource or another, as, for instance. the
supply of natural gas in the Middle West,
which might have been in use now If II
had not been for the apparent belief that
the gas would last always. Now il is
gone. The rapid increase in lumber prices
