DENOUNCES
ENEMIES
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR
USES BITTER LANGUAGE
AT LUNCHEON
ADDRESSED HIS HOSTS ON
subject Of CONSERVATION
Says lis HysteTia Created By
Oemagogue, The Fanatic
and Faddlst
tBy Associated press)

Portland, Ore. Aug l2.-Secretary
of the Interior Richard A. Balllngcr,
who was the guest OF honor today at
MONDAY luncheon given by the COM
mercia club addressed his hosts ON
the subject of consefyatlos.
What Is there about II that calls
for excitement, bitterness OF spirit
or contention?" said Secretary Bal
lnger Nothing. The explanation
Of popular excitement Is In the fact
that many people have been led TO
believe that conservation holds the
secret Of our National well-Delng. The
demagogue. the fanatic, the sentimen-
talist, the faddist, are crusading under
the banner OF conservation mainly be
cause il is popular and holds the at
tentlon of the hour Their energies
might be equally employed on any
other human virtue with the same ar
gument. but such ref0rmers are more
like torrents generally DONG more
damage by floods than by the steady
flow OF sueful stream Beyond
the matter OF agitation what has the
doctrinaire accomplished unless II be
the hysteria of conservation? Has he
suggested any practical methods by
way Of legislation for dsposlng OF
the rcmaider of the public lands so
as to give the public better safeguards
against existing abuses2 The fact Is
that all the substantial progress made
In this direction has been enacted by
the last congress as the results Of
recommendation initiated by this adj
ministration.
Secretary Balliuer sald that extreme
conservation theories In their last an
alylismeangogernment ownership and
operation lie said they proceed on
the theory that The states are not TO
be trusted TO take care OF their natur-
al resources. He said that because
some Of the states have been wasteful
or their officers corrupt, II does not
! follow that no state can safely man
age its affairs In this particular. Hc
said that In view OF the fact that the
states control and own water for de-
velopment 1t would seem that the
most feasible and practical method
I would be to transfer these sites Ia
! the states under proper limitations
to prevent injurious monopoly He
declared that the contention that the
interior department may. under any
existing law exact a charge from the
public for the use Of these power sites
is utterly without foundation.
Taking up the subject of the Alas
ka coal lands he called attention Il
/ the fact that with twelve hundred
