BALLINGER'S VIEWS

Continued from First Page)

| Roosevelt Administration between Cif-
ford Pinchot, Chief Forester. and Mr..
/ bellinger, who was at that time Com
missioner Of the Land Cnice. Accord
ing TO tbs story, Mr. Pinchot had
mapped out and had undertaken to
carry out a plan which impinged on the
privileges of the Land Onice.
As soon as he heard of it, Mr.. Bal
hnger went to the then Secretary of
the Interior, James r. GARFIELD
jim he said, who's running the
Land Office Pinchot or r.
Well 1 guess you are" replied
Garfield.
I'm glad to hear you say so" re-
sponded Ballinger; ''becadse, if I'm not.
l am going back to Seattle today"
And the net result e that brief un-
derstanding was that one of the plans
or Mr. PinchOt did not go through.
Since B-llinger has been Secretary Of
the Interior he has made a determined
campaign TO have the reclamation bu-
feaus which is in the department. and
the forestry bureau, which is i'm the
Department of Agriculture, observe
the statutes governing the work under
them Decisions from Attorney General
Wickersham have upheld him in every
stage of the work. and today the situa
President supporting him fully, has
made il impossible for the two bureaus
TO overreach themselves
IN Administration circles, the lcessa-
ton of Mr. Newells work for the Gov
eminent Is regarded as a settled fact.
Secretary Ballinger, on his Western
tour. has only become more determined
on this move, and his reorganization of
his department will, according to pres
ent indications, begin with the ReCla-
nation Bureau. Tt is a safe bet that
neither the reclamation nor the forestry
branch VIII go beyond its legal rights
with the lands Of the West
Mr.. Ballinger's determine ton to undo
as far as possible the opsFs lions which
have resulted in taking from private
ownership more territory shan was JUS
tilted under the Federal statutes, IS
shown by his restoring TO private own
ership large tracts since he became a
member OF the Cabinet. ri this policy
there has been some hostile criticism,
but the position of the Administration
is that, If the people object 10 this
course. il should be remedied by Con-
sOnabie constructions of the statutes
now on the books
The President was out early this
morning on the Myopis Golf Links with
John Hays Hammond. and, therefore. !
did not have long session with Private
Secretary Carpenter. The mail of the
summer White House is getting heavier /
every day now. and the force Of CLERKS
and stenographgrs is kept busy for
long working no lrs attending 70 IT,
BeVerly's reputation for GOODNESS re-
asserted itself today, and the good old |
chilblain doctors were quite garrulous. |

You are accused Of grave maIad-

In Montana the case is presented
squarely- Rich water power lands along
the Missouri were Withdrawn BY your
predecessor at the direction OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt, whose policies your
chief, President Taft has sworn &c
perpetuate.
You knew why these lands we're
withdrawn. You were told by your
advisers that there was grave danger
the water power monopoly would grab
them. Yet you insisted that they be
restored the minute you took office as
the guardian OF the public domain
which belongs to the people.
Secretary Ballinger, YOU also have
some things TO explain IN connection
