Referring TO a recent exchange of
words in the senate between himself
and Senator Aldrich, Mr. Doliver said:
'1f the senator from Rhode Island in

 After reading the public statement of this feIlow-sufferer given below you must come to this conclusion: A remedy which cured years ago, which has kept the kidneys in good health since, can be relied upon to perform the same work in other cas- es. Read this:
 R. c. Fentou, 39O5 N, Cheyenne St. Tacoma, Wash, says: "I gave a state ment for publication, telling of my eX perieuce with Deans Kidney Pills som years ago and am now pleased to confirm all I then said in their favor. T was afflicted with kidney trouble and finally became so bad off that II was obliged to give up my work. l had dull, heavy pains through my kidneys and on one occasion was confined to my bed for almost a month. The unnatural condition of the kidney secreuons also plainly de. noted that my kidneys needed atten- tion. When i learned of Doan's Kid ney Pills, procured a box and be- gan their use. felt great relief from the first and before long my trouble was entirely disposed of, l have since had no return of kidney complaint"

NOT THE MAN, BUT HIS METH
 ops.

Since the inception of the conrrO- yersy between Ballinger and PinchOt late last summer The Alaskan from time to time has criticized Richard A. Bslllnger for his attitude. Circum- staptlal evidence has seemed to show that a certain corporation has cOnspir ed to gObble up the Cordova coal lands and that there was grave danger of the water power sites in Montana and California being monOpolized, thus de priving the people of these common wealths of one of their greatest nat uraI heritages.
 Our criticism has never been direct ed personally at BalRnger. In private life he is considered by those who know him best as a man of high integ rly. In his official career he has probably kept within the limits of the law But by training, environment an natural inclination he has corporation Ieanlngs, a too strong a prediction for the sacred rights of vested cap ltay" to make him an ideal guardian of the interests of the peOple-and this is the position which he practi- cally holds as Secretary of the Inter tor department. We think his methods unfair to the people, for although the west is young and has potential pos sibluties beyond computation; unless a policy of conservation is employed its resources will some day be owned and controlled by the few instead of the many.
 On the other hand Pinchots policy Is too narrow, as Balllnger's is too broad. Instead of letting down the bars oo the public domain, PinchOt would so practice conservation as to make it practically impossible for either capital or individual to obtain mineral, timber or water He has made all of Alaska timber reserve with ridiculous restrictions which ham per the individual and cost the gov ernment a pretty penny in the en- toreement.
 The principle of conservation is right; put its execution. both under Balliuger and PinchOt is radically wrong.
 For our part we believe in conserva' ton and we believe in deyelOpment- and the two should go hand in hand.
 Let any American citizen. whether he represent himself or a corporation, take out coal claims. But let a tax be levied on every ton of coal that leaves the ground. tax that is tax;I a tax that would enrich the federal gov srDue,. and lessen the burden of taxation which now rests heavily upon the American public.
 Let any American citizen have a water power right, But levy tax on every pound of power he uses as long as he uses it, Levy a tax that is a tax.
 Remove the restrictions which now hedge about the lumber industry in Alaska and so adjust taxes that the government and the lumbermen divid reasonable profit Under the pres ent system the ta1auon on cut IuLlOeA lu Alaska does not begin to pay the cost Of inspection.
 With an equitable tax on all the natural resources of America they would pay for themselves in the long run, no matter who owned or exploit ed them. Under the present system the resources are either being "con served" in idIsness or else being seiz. ed by individuals, either capitalists or otherwise. The government loses in either event
