Interesting Address Upon
Important Topic.
rINcHor COULD NOT ATTEND.

st. Paul, March 16. UNITED
Press,)-In an address today before
the Minnesota state conservation con
vention, Secretary OF the Interior
Ballinger gave his Interpretation of
the national obligation regarding the
public domain and its disposition.
The speech. according to reports from
Washington. had had the personal o.
X. of President Taft. api I-iii'i'
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, "a
grossly exaggerated notion. among
some people. as to what the general
government can do in conserving the
natural resources that lie In the de-
posits of minerals. and are contained
in the soils and the streams. For
the most part, they have passed into
private ownership and are under the
municipal jurisdiction of the states.
ANY national conservation policy
must be predicted on the policy af-
fecting the public domain, since for
the most part. the states are sover-
eign within their own spheres of jur-
Isdiction. Therefore, believe q
greater obligation rests upon
the state than upon the national
government to inaugurate laws to
prevent waste in the utilization OF
natural resources"
Referring to the duty of the ma
tional government he first regarded
1t as essential that the public domain
be studied and surveyed and an I'D
|equate and scientific classification Of
the remainder OF the public lands
be made. He scored the "idealist
conservationists" heavily for tack
ling the proposition without a
sound knowledge of conditions"

said the secretary, "for most part.
sincere. but their very sincerity gives
them such vigor of Imagination
and prediction that II is often times
hard to combat their vagaries except
through practical demonstration"
Then to give them their due, he said.
They have this virtue. that they do
not let US forget that extremes often
prove fruitful OF sound reason TO
those who may be over-optimistic."

retary Bellipger said. 81 am as ar

tlon as the most radical. but It must
be wise conservation to appeal to me.
1t must imply as full and free de-
velopment of our national resources
