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 Zach 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 adj
ministration 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 it 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 lam
guage: 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
tenanCc of prosperous homes

Taft to Direct the Work.

init 10 'he "o'A.
Mr. Taft is thoroughly in sympathy
with this movement to build more
homes for the people and to make them
more attractive He is one Of the great
Americans who typify the Independence
and the constructive genius OF the
American home builder. There is an
innate desire in the heart of the Amer
lean citizen to own home. Mr.. Tart
recognizes the inherent yearning OF the
people apparent on every page of his
tory to own in fee simple some portion
of the earth. The desire is as keen to-
day as it ever was. OF all our wealth
producing class, the farmer needs
home most. He must have land. He
should by all means own il. His farm
need not be SO large ns some suppose,
but it should belong to the farmer
not to some one else. This is not only
Self-eyidcnt because of the advantages
to the farmer but because of its ad
yantagcS to the nation at large. 1t i
the corner stone Of our national life.
1t lies at the root of all true patriotism
and all social Improvement and con.
tent.
Give man Il home upon the soil
and You have made him a patriot Whr
will defend your institutions at the
ballot box or ON the battlefield. Mr.
Taft proposes TO open the door to our
vast natural resources with the Re
publican key of national conservation.
This is Il musr hopeful augury of the
future When the people have easy
| access to the land and can fully utilize
our great natural resources, most OF
! cur other troubles will settle them
| selves. The property owner is con
scrvatiyc man who loves his family
| and his country, Let the property
owners be as numerous as possible.
Let the good work of hOme-mnking con.

The Future Growing brighter.

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
sources OF the nation. Among other
reasons mentioned for this movement
their letter to the President stated :
"Hitherto our national policy has been
one Of almost unrestricted disposal of
natural resources. and this IN more Law
ish measure than by any other. nation
In the worlds history and this policy
shared by the constituent States. Three
consequences have enSucd: First, un,
precedented consumption Of natural re
sources; second. exhaustion of these
resources to the extent that n large
part OF our available public lands have
passed into great estates or corporate
interests. our forests are SO far depict
ed as to multiply the cost of forest
products, and our supplies of Goa and
iron ore are so far reduced rs to en-
hance prices; and third, uncquallcd 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 tn"
people.
I'VE are Of opinion that the time has
come for considering the policy of con
serving these material resources 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 conScrva.

West is overwhelmingly for Taft and
believe he will sweep it into the re-
publican column in November. He
is the strongest man the party can
vote for. Millions of Roosevelt's sup
porters will vote for bin.
There is a lurking suspicion In
many influential quarters that not
withstanding the presidents re-
nunciation, he is playing strong
hand In the direction of his own
nomination. The Taft bureau claims
more than enough instructed dele
gates on the first ballot to nominate
Taft, but at the governors meeting

The class day exercises Of the Sal
mon school were held In the opera
house Friday afternoon. The inter-
est which our people take In the
school was manifested by the large
audience which had assembled to
witness these exercises. There was
not a vacant seat In the room and
many were obliged to stand. The
program was about two hours long,
yet SO interesting was each number
the time passed very quickly.
There were only two graduates
from the tenth grade this year and
both from the one family-Ernest
and Estella Ball. The valedictory OF
Ernest was very good and showed
both originality and careful study.
His delivery was excellent. The class
prophecy by Estella was well written
and well rendered, and should the
things foretold by her come to pass,
the pupils Of this class will yet be
beard from In way that will bring
honor to themselves and their par
ents.

the primary room was splendid and
showed much careful and patient
drilling. The longest number on the
prog ram was the Mother Goose Festi.
