viii Stay on Job With No
Change in Policy,
READY TO FIGHT MONOPOLY
Declares Legislation Must Be Enacted
at ccming Session Of Congress to
Preserve Water Power sites and
Coal Lands In the West.

Washington. Oct. 2.-Unequiyocally
asserting that monopoly now Is In
process OF formation whose object Is
TO obtain possession Of the water
power sites OF the country. Clifford
Pinchot. chief OF the bureau OF for
estry. who returned from an extended
inspection In the west, declared that
remedial legislation must be enacted
at the coming session OF congress If
this great natural resource is to be
preserved 10 the people.
The problem of how best to prevent
the nations water power sites from
being gobbIed up by such combina'
tlons. Mr. Pinchot predicted. will be
one Of the biggest issues which the
next session OF congress will have to
thresh out. While he stated that the
alleged trust Is now only in the for.
native stage. Mr.. Plnchot declared
that prompt action on the part OF con-
gress IL neces airy to throttle IT, Upon
the proper solution OF this question
the future happiness OF great many
people rests, he said.
Looming up as another big problem
which will confront congress will be
the question OF the disposition OF vast
areas OF coal lands in the west. but
principally In Alaska. II is important
that congress should take prompt ac-
tion on this important matter. Mr. Pin
chot said, for the protection OF the
country's fuel supply and also to pre-
vent a monopoly in that product.
ANY doubt that may have existed as
10 whether Mr. Pinchot would con-
tlnue to advocate the policies for
which he has fought so hard, was set
at rest by him. As a result OF his west
ern tour he is as fully determined as
eyef TO continue his policies regarding
the conservation OF the countrys nat
ural resources and the great national
forest reserves. Not only did Mr.. Pin
chot assert that President Taft Is thor
oughly imbued whh the conservation
movement. but he declared that the
people Of the country are now more
completely aroused over the matter
than at any previous time. President
Taft. Mr.. Pinchot said. has expressed
himself in favor OF conservation
commission. and added that he was
also in accord with that suggestion.
Have you anything to say on the
question OF conservation?' Mr.. Pin.
chot was asked.
yes. have" he replied, with great
emphasis Il wish to announce that |
have come back here to continue my
work in conservation and forestry just
as have done In the past. There Will
be no change in either policy"
