Secretary of Interior Spoke
at MONDAY Luncheon
of Portland Club.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 12.-Secre-
tary of the Interior Richard A. Bal
linger, who was the guest of honor
today at MONDAY luncheon given
by the commercial club, addressed
his hosts on the subject of conser-
walton.
What is there about it that calls
for excitement, bitterness of spirit
or contention" said Secretary Bal
linger. 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-being
The demagogue, the fanatic, the SEN
timentalist, the faddist are crusad-
ing under the banner of conserva-
ton mainly because it is popular
and holds the attention of the hour.
Their energies might be equally en-
ployed on any other human virtue
with the same argument, but such
reformers are more like torrents,
generally doing more damage by
floods than by the steady flow of
useful stream.
Beyond the matter of agitation
what has the doctrinaire accomplish
ed, unless it be hysteria of conser-
walton? Has he suggested any prac-
teal methods by way of legislation
for disposing of the remainder of
the public lands so as to give the
public better safeguards against ex-
listing abuses? The fact is all the
substantial progress that has been
made in this direction has been en-
acted by the last congress as the re-
suit of recommendation initiated by
this administration"
Secretary Ballinger said that ex-
IRENE conservation theories in their
last analysis mean government own
ership and operation. He said they
proceed on the theory that the states
are not to be trusted to take care of
their natural resources. He said
that because some of the states have
been wasteful or their officers cor
rupt, it does not follow that no state
can safely manage it's own affairs in
this particular. He said that in view
of the fact that the states own ana
control the water necessary for de-
velopment it would seem that the

most feasible and practical method
would be to transfer these sites to
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 Alaska
coal lands he called attention to the
fact that twelve hundred square
miles of known coal area, containing
an estimated amount of fifteen bill
lion tons, some of the very best quail
ity, Alaska buys most of her coal
from British Columbia and the Uni
ted States navy on the Pacific obtains
it's coal from the Pocahauntus fields
of West Virginia at a cost to the gov
eminent of seven dollars per ton, of
which five dollars per ton is repre-
scented by the freight charges. II
the mines of Alaska were in operation
coal would be laid down at Portland
at from to 4 dollars per ton. He
said Alaska never has had adequate
laws to cover the disposition of her
public lands. To make them ade-
quate, however, is one of the bur-
dens of this administration which
will doubtless be met and solved as
other equally important duties have
been solved by it.
Secretary Ballinger declared that
he is opposed to withholding any
lands in the public domain that are
capable of giving strength and per-
manent prosperity to the country in
agriculture, commerce or industry.
''The department of the interior
is one of the executive branches of
the government, instituted by law,
and, therefore, necessarily admins
tered under the law" said Mr.. Bal
linger. 1.-The public domain was left
by the constitution to the disposition
of congress and congress has seen
fit to authorize the interior depart
ment under legislative limitations to
dispose of the public domain. There
fore any disposition sought to be
made by me can be made only in
view of the law and within the law
All questions of policy, all criticisms
relating to improper disposition of
public lands, must necessarily be re-
ferred to and controlled by the law
making body established by the con-
situation. 1t has become a practice
with many people, either through
ignorance of these conditions or a

w. E. Porter, who with his fam

the way with team and was 10 days

Standing securely upon my con-

down by congress in these particu-

The usual meeting of the Com
mercial club was held last Mon
day night. There was not a
large attendance though several
matters of interest were taken
up and discussed.
The committee en- roads and
I'd d fare to Denver, made re-
Norts. 1t was shown that the
p. liabilities are that in the ne
future the tramway would dc
something g for the town.
The report on getting the road
opened to the west, was not en-
couraging on account of one
party not being wiling to donate
the right of way. though it was
hoped that sometime IN the flu
ture they may see the inn Or
tance of the road, they had rot
fully decided il the matter.
On the whole it was a good
meeting, but the attendal &c
should have been larger.

the debate for woman suffrage,
so of course the boys are elated.
The society disbanded and in
its place the Freshmen and Jun

and the Sophomores and Seniors
another. One society will have
the program every other month,
these will be held in the evening
hereafter, so that the public may
