WARNSCOUNTRYTO
CHECK MONOPOLIES
President of Conservation Asso-
ciation Declares the Situa-
ton Is Urgent
Calls Upon American People to
Protect Coal Lands and
Water Power

NEW YORK. Nov. S.-Dr. Charles W
Eliot. president of the National con-
servation association. today authorized
a statement on the danger of the mo-
nopolistic control of the sources oi
power in this country, which is de-
clared to be imminent. The statement
is made in the form of an appeal to the
American people and deals particularly
with the much discussed question of the
coal fields of Alaska. 1t says:
'Ine National conservation associa-
ton is convinced of the urgent need OF
immediate measures to prevent the con-
troll of the great sources of heat and
mechanical power in the United States
from being seized by monopolistic or
ganfza tfons and to secure the best de-
velopment of these sources in the in
terest of the whole people. These
sources are waterfalls and coal
'The following statement describes
the situation with respect to coal lands
The coal lands in the possession OF
the United States are being rapidly
law. The fields of Alaska estimated tc
contain fifteen billion tons, should re-
main in the heritage of the people. But
bad as is the general coal land law oi
the United States. that of Alaska is
even worse, for there the government
is absolutely limited to a charge OF SIC
an acre, which is less than one tenth OF
the real value of these coal lands.
There are already about 900 entries
in the Alaskan coal fields. 1t is true
the field was recently withdrawn from
entry. but the legality of that with
drawaI has been questioned. Even if
the 900 existing claims now coming to
trial should be declared fraudulent. new
claimants may file on the lands under
the Objectionable provisions of the
existing laws without restriction
against monopoly and waste, and with
out other necessary provisions.
I'VE have urged the present admins
tration to postpone, for the common
have no doubt, in view of the facts and
the policy of the administration, as
declaredby President Taft in his speech
at Spokane September 2S, that our re-
quest will be granted.
There is a limit. however, beyond
which such delay can not go. Should
congress faikto act at the coming ses-
sion, 1t is possible the opportunity to
obtain adequate legislation for the
coal lands still in possession OF the
United States will be lost
.HThe situation with respect to water
power development. both in the public
domain and on navigable streams, Is
substantially similar to that with re-
spect to coal The water powers car
not be effectively developed in the pub
lie interest under the existing law.
1--WE. therefore. appeal to the Ameri-
can people to bring the urgent needs
of the situation to the attention of then
representatives in congress. in order
that comprehensive legislation on the
matter be enacted. To this end. every
individual citizen is urged to do his
duty"

DRY VOTE TO TEST
POWER OF WOMEN
Denver Preachers Begin Cam
paign to Settle Saloon Is
sue at Next Election

DENVER, Nov. s.-Denver preachers
today began a campaign to make Den
yer dry and to put woman suffrage
to the test.
Eighty preachers met to discuss the
formation of an organization which
will conduct the campaign preceding
next springs election. Another and
larger meeting will be held this week
Preachers at the meeting tbday said
the election would be made the final
test of woman's power at the polls
in Colorado and that it would be
largely for women to decide the Ques-
ton.
Many preachers expressed confidence
in their ability TO carry the election.
This is based partly on a recent state
supreme court decision that, where a
town or city gives the drys a majority
the entire town shall be dry and not
just those precincts in which the drys
had a majority.
