CONSERVATION OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
Far Reaching Policy for the Good
of All the People.
Republican Party Uncovering Vast
Wealth and Making Home own
ing Easier Each Year.

An extremely important feature OF
the constructive Republican policy is
the national movement for the conser-
walton Of the natural resources Of the
country. This measure has been orig
mated by the present Republican ad-
m~inistration and, like the homestead
law, the national irrigation act and
other measures for the benefit Of the
whole people, its influence Is destined
to be far reaching and productive Of
great good to the home builders Of the
country.
The National Conservation Commits
sion as ii exists to-day is an outgrowth
Of the Inland Waterways Commission
this Commission was appointed by
President Roosevelt In March, 1907. In
his letter creating the Waterways Com
mission the President uses this Ian
Suage: That the Inland Waterways
Commission shall consider the relations
of the streams to the use Of all the
permanent natural resources and their
conservation for the making and main
tenance of prosperous homes"
Home Building for the People,.
The inquiries of the commission along
the lines indicated led to the proposal
to the President on Oct. 3 that he call
a conference on the general subject Of
the conservation OF the national re-
ources Of the nation. Among other
reasons mentioned for this movement
their letter to the President stated:
Hitherto our national policy has beer
one of almost unrestricted disposal Of
natural resources, and this In more Law
ish measure than by any other nation
of the federal government has been
shared by the constituent States. Three
consequences have ensued First, I'M
p~recedented consumption Of natural re-
sources; second, exhaustion Of these
resources to the extent that a large
part OF our available public lands have
passed into great estates or corporate
interests, our forests are so far depict
GU as " hhultipy lue SOst VI lOEtSt
products, and u supplies of coal and
iron ore are so far reduced as to en-
nance prices and third, unequalled op-
portunity for private monopoly, to the
extent that both the federal and State
sovereignties have been compelled to
enact laws for the protection of the
people.
I'VE are Of opinion that the time has
come for considering the policy of Ton
serving these material on
which the permanent prosperity OF our
country and the equal opportunity Of
all our people must depend we are also
Of opinion that the policy of conserva-
ton has so marked an advance on that
policy adopted at the outset of our ma
tional career as to demand the consid-
Grafton Of both federal and State spon.
sors for the welfare of the people"
The Constructive Leaven at Work.
In his address before the Lakes-to-
the-Gulf Deep Waterways Association
at Memphis President Roosevelt an
nounced his intention Of calling such a
conference. and on Nov. 13, 1907, he Is.
sued invitations to the Governors Of all

The Senator then reviewed Mr..
Taft's career for the last ten
years, when, he said, he had been
called on to advise by two Presi-
dents on questions Of government
which gave them the greatest
concern.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB PLAN.

Through Samuel Newhouse's gift of
site. the Commercial club is in posi-
ton to secure building of its own
in a desirable location. and under con-
ditions that win insure the success OF
the undertaking and the peTpetuation
of the organization as one Of the great
institutions of the city.
Briefly stated. the ground given by
Mr. Newhouse cost him 500. 900 a year
ago, and is worth more now. 1t is
proposed to erect a building TO cost
about 100000. on plans drawn by
Henry Ives Cobb and TO meet the cost
of construction subscriptions are
sought for construction bonds secured
by the property. At the initial meet
ing on Wednesday subscriptions ag-
gregating $57, 800 were listed, and a
systematic canvass should secure the
remainder of the sum needed without
any great difficulty.
The Importance of the project and
its bearing on the progress of Salt
Lake are so obvious as TO scarcely
need discussion. No purely CONNER
ciaI organization in the country has
quite as handsome a home as the one
contemplated for the Salt Lake club.
Established there. it would be a con-
spicuous monument, not only TO the
public spirit of one of it's citizens, but
10 the faith Salt Lake business men
nave in the future Of their city It
would be the center of organized eff
fort for the development of this whole
intermountain region. the one place
where citizens would learn TO know
each other and work together for the
common good.
No project of more importance has
ever been proposed here, none that is
so full of promise for the future 1t
may be assumed right at the incep-
ton that the subscriptions to bonds
necessary to insure the immediate
construction of the club building will
be Forthcoming at once.

pride in their profession which impels
them to the choice of good men; and
since the association is composed of
be chosen in a purely representative
way. 1t is unlikely that any of the
political parties will abandon the plan
to name judicial candidates. but 1t
would be well if the Bar association
of the convention so that it's selections
could be Endorsed by any or all of the
parties if the choice commended itself
TO party delegates.

FOREST RESERVE ABUSES.

About the sharpest controversy of
the week in congress has ragged about
the administration of the forest re-
serves by Mr.. Pinchot and his branch
of the government. Mr. Mondell of
Wyoming has led the attack. and the
defense has been furnished by mem
bers of the committee on agriculture,
who, as might be expected, come from
states in which there are no forests
and no reserves.
Here in the heart of the reserves,
where the workings of the system are
in daily view. the administration is
seen in all its beauty. Conceding the
advantage of systematic forest con-
servation, admiring the purpose for
which the reserve system is designed.
the arbitrary powers given and exer-
cised by MIR. Pinchot and his associ-
ates seem the least bit homogeneous in
republican form of government.
In the first place, the area of the re-
serves was designated by executive
order. When congress, which is sup
posed to be the depositary of repre-
sentative authority, sought to restrain
the extension of reserves, the presi-
dent outmanouevred the leaders of
congress and proclaimed reservations
over practically all the remaining TIM
Der lands, and a good deal of land that
never knew timber
1t was smooth work and in essence
an executive defiance of the legislative
branch of government In the Den
yer convention, a gathering of private
citizens for the discussion of public
policies, the delegates found them
selves Outnumbered and outvoted bv
packed body of forest reserve en-
pioyes and the friends they had or
ganiZed for offense and defense in the
gathering. They had their expenses
paid by the government, and utilized
their opportunity 10 suppress the ex-
preston of real opinion by men whose
interests were vitality affected by the
departments action
Under the present regime the dis
posal of grazing privileges is not
matter of individual right. buI a oues-
ton of political pull or private favor.
If it is carried to its logical conclusion
the forest service can be made a most
efficient political machine. having
large special privileges to confer on
its friends and heavy punishment for
its enemies or opponents. 1t possesses
a power that should be conferred on
no body of public employees unre-
strained by publicity and undeterred
by fear of accountability to the pub
lie To that extent IT is obnoxious

MANY MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS LOST

AUSTIN, Texas, May 2S.-Accord-
ing to comparative statement of
railroad earnings given out by the
Railroad Commission today for nine
months ending March 81, 1908, with
the same period of 1907, there was a
decrease of $7,431,313 in gross earn
ings of Texas lines, or 1923 per cent
while operating expenses increased
S2,170O16 for the same period, or 4.3O
per cent. In other words, Texas rail-
roads lost nearly S10,0O0,O0O in rev
enue for the comparative period OF
nine months. Commissioner Storey
says that the tonnage is to be in
creased.
