Ratliff Says:
Don't Overlook
VERA

Prices of living may go
up in the city and wages
may go down until you
find it next to impossible
to make a living-but a
living is always guaran-
teed to the man who comes
to Vera. Put in the same
time and energy at Vera
and you will not only have
the best kind of a living
for yourself and family
but you will have land
that has a great value in
itself.
Vera is only 51a miles
from Spokane-street car
service, best of schools
in fact all the advantages
of the city, minus it's un-
desirable qualities.
Vera solves the living
question.

Washington, Jan. 5.-This is the
story of the Ballinger-Pinchot row.
1t began with the refusal of Rich
ard Achilles Ballinger-within a
few weeks after he became Secretary
of the Interior, on March 6 last-to
withdraw from entry certain small
portions of the public lands for So
called ranger sites, at the request OF
Clifford Pinchot, chief of the Forest
Service of the Department of Agri-
culture. The dispute has grown,
until today it is admittedly the fore
most feature of President Taft's ad-
ministration. Originally a petty de-
partmental affair, it has expanded,
until of late it has resulted in whis-
perings of a Back from Elba''
movement, with Theodore Roosevelt
in the role of Napoleon and the ac-
tivities of the Forest Service and It's
officials as part of Widespread plot
for the discrediting of the Taft re-
gime. 1t has engrossed the atten-
ton of the cabinet, while important
international affairs waited; pre-
ceded long lists of distinguished
personages with important business
on the engagement list of President
Taft. and, finally. has halted con-
.gress in it's business of making laws.
In the last days of the preceding
administration, James r. Garfield
the then Secretary of the Interior,
by direction of President Roosevelt
and with the idea of preserving the
public domain from mOnopolistic eX-
plOitation, had withdrawn from ell
try vast tracts of land located along
western rivers, peculiarly adapted
for furnishing hydraulic electric
power. During the last two weeks
of March, 1909, Garfield kept the
midnight carbons aglow in his Of
flee poring over maps of western
states, and stabing with little pins
as marks for withdrawal, rivers
which seemed to have power site
possibilities. These Withdrawals
were under the supervisory author
ity'' of the Secretary of the Interior
This authority, Garfield held, gave
him the right to withdraw apparent
ly valuable lands until congress
should have time to legislate re-
garding their future disposition.
Then the Taft regime began, and
Ballinger replaced Garfield in the
Interior Department CHIEF For
ester Pinchot, through his superior,
Secretary Wilson, of the Department
OF Agriculture, had been recon-
mending to the Interior Department
for withdrawal, as ranger sites,
small tracts in the public domain,
outside of the forest reserves. There
had been no difficulty under the
Roosevelt administration, but when
the first batch of these proposed
Withdrawals, located in the states OF
Washington and Oregon, reached
Secretary Ballinger, he refused 10
approve them, saying that such ac-
ton would be adding to the forest
reserves power held exclusively
by congress-in those states. This
was the opening gun. Secretary
Wilson took the matter TO President
Taft, who referred it to Attorney
General Wickersham, where it lay

AS to the action Of the
Land Office on these claims
(the Cunningham coal en-
tries) l assert that the Land
Office ordered the Cunning
ham claims to patent without
due investigation when Com
missioner Ballinger knew
they were under suspicion;
that while in Office COmmis-
missioner Ballinger urged
congress to pass a law which
would validate fraudulent
Alaska claims; that shortly
after resigning from Office he
became attorney for the Cum
ningham group and other
other Alaska claims; that
soon after he became Secre-
tary of the Interior his Of
fee rendered a decision
which would have validated
all fraudulent Alaska claims.
A reversal of that decision
on every point was obtained
from Attorney General Wick

claim would have gone to

MANY CASES ARE
CUT FROM DOCKET
Judge Graves Clears the Dead Wood

List of Suits.

A systematic attempt to clear up the
circuit court docket vas started this
morning by Judge Z. c Graves and be-
fore noon some IS cases had been
stricken off the list. All of them were
cases in chancery and many of item
had been disposed of out of court
while others had been hanging fire for
so long that there seemed little use
in keeping them on the docket longer.
The docket contained about $50 chan
Gerry csaes before the cutting was
started. The court would like to get it
down as low as $50 cases. On the law
side Of the docket there are now ahout
800 cases and very few of these can
be cut off the list. Tomorrow after
noon the members of the bar are to
meet with the court to arrange a trial
