the advisability of creating water
storage on its tributaries.
George w. Lunt Of Orono, 81 years of

WASHINGTON, ~. u.
The battle for the capture of the
Sixty-second House OF Representatives

have pitched their tents and raised
their standards. 1t will be a war
quite as bloody as though a presiden-
tial struggle We're on. for the Repub-
licans realize that with captain OF

Gratis banker quite as hungrily for
such an opportunity for embarrassing
the big skipper and making his party
unpopular upon the eve of the presi-
dental campaign of 1912.
The commander OF the Republican
forces in this years fray is second
William Mckinley to come out OF
the Middle West and become leader
OF his party in Congress. He Is thir-
teen years younger than the first Re-
publican leader of his name, having
been born tifty-three years ago in
Illinois. whose Nineteenth District he
has represented at Washington dur
ing the past five years. While VIII
liam Mckinley. of Ohio, was a young
and eloquent prosecuting attorney his
namesake .ovel. in illinois was clerking
in country store, and while the
former was distinguishing himself as

BALl|NGER PUTS
BLAME ON STATES
Says Public Has Wrong Idea Of
What Government Can Do To
Save Natural Resources.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, March 16.-In an
address today before the Minnesota
State Conservation convention. Secre-
tary OF the Interior Ballinger gave his
Interpretation OF the national obliga-
lions regarding the public domain and
It's disposition. The speech. according
To reports from Washington. had had
the personal o. X. of President Taft.
The greater portion of the burden OF
conserving the natural resources OF
the country was laid by Secretary
ballinger at the doors OF the states.
There has been and Is. he said. IA
grossly exaggerated notion. among
some people, as 10 what the general
government can do I'm conserving the
natural resources that lie I'm the de-
posits OF minerals. ana are contained
IN the soils and the streams For the
most part. they have passed into pri-
vate ownership and are under the
municipal jurisdiction OF the states.
Any national conservation policy
must be predicated on the policy az
fecting the public domain, since Tor
he most part. the states are sovereign
within their own spheres OF jurisdi -
ion. Therefore, believe a greater
obligation rests upon the state than
uDon the national government TO inau-
surate laws to prevent waste in the
utilization OF natural resources"
Referring To the duty OF the national
government he first regarded II as
essential that the public domain be
studied and surveyed and an "ade-
quate and scientific classification OF
the remainder OF the public lands" be
made. He scored the 'idealistic con-
servationists heavily for tackling the
proposition without sound knowl-
edge of conditions"
Il grant you that such people are.
said the secretary, for the most part.
sincere but their very sincerity gives
them such "A vigor OF imagination and
prediction that II is often hard to com
bat their vagaries except through prac-
tica, demonstrations"
OF his own stand in the matter Sec
Rotary Ballinger said:
II am as ardent an advocate OF wise
conservation as the most radical but
n must be wise conservation To appeal
20 mt. Ii must imply as full and free
development OF our national resources
