CONSERVATION OF

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
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 Waterway Commission
this Commission was appointed by
President Roosevelt in March, 1907. In
his letter creating the Waterways Com
mission the President uses this Ian
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
tenance of prosperous homes
Homo Building for the People.
The Inquiries OF the commission along
the lines indicated led 10 the proposal
to the President on Oct. 3 that he call
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
ratural resources, and this in more Law
ish measure than by any other. nation
in the worlds history; and this policy
of the federal government has been
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 ms to multiply the cost of forest
products, and our supplies Of coal and
iron ore are so far reduced AS to en-
nance prices; and third. uncqunlled OPP
portunity for private monopoly, TO the
extent that both the federal and State
sovereignties have been compelled Ia
enact laws for the protection Of the
people.
1--WE 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 alsc
of opinion that the policy of conscrvn
ton has so marked an advance on that

A PECULIAR SUIT
Bass Charged With Violation
Of Garnishment Law.
LEASE is INVOLVED IN CASE

The case of the State vs.. William c..
Bass will be heard in the Wayne cir
cult court tomorrow. Bass is charged
with violation Of the garnishment Jaw.
Bass is a plumber who formerly oper-
ated a local shop.
II is claimed that Bass arranged for
the lease Of a house owned by him
and located on Richmond avenue TO
a man named Hoffman. Certain i'm
provements and changes were made
conditional upon the Lease. Nothing
was done by the owner TO modify con
ditions and it is asserted Hoffman re-
moved in violation OF the lease.
Hoffman was employed by the Pan
handle railroad company and Bass un-
dertook court proceedings against him
in West Virginia to recover on the
lease. Hoffman knew nothing OF the
transaction and the court held against
him on default The Panhandle was
made a party 10 the suit and was re-
strained from paying Hoffman s
wages. When he learned Of the meth
cd OF procedure, Hoffman made com
plaint to the prosecutor and criminal
proceedings have Item instituted
against Bass for his action
