HOW WEST STANDS
ON CONSERVATION
Borah Says to This Part of Coun-
try 1t Means Use and DeveI-
opment of Resources.
PURE WASTE TO TIE THEM UP.
West as Fully Devoted to the Policy as
The East but Believes in Consid-
ering Present Generation.

New York, Feb. Limited States
Senator William E. Borah of Idaho.
who made q flying trip TO New York
yesterday. jeff behind long statement
giving some Of his ideas on the ques-
tlon OF conservation:
The west is just as thoroughly de-
voted to conservation as the east" said
the senator, but as we understand it.
conservation means the use and devel-
opment of our natural resources, 1t is
waste pure and simple to tie up those
resources indefinitely.
why one third of our state Is the
forest reserve. Gov. Hughes was sur
priscd some time ago when 1 told him
that we had forest reserve in Idaho
into which we could put the whole of
New York state and lose it. On that
land there arc thousands OF dollars
worth of lumber going to waste. We
want these reservations put under such
regulation as will make them serve the
needs of the living generation of men.
Look how rapidly we are losing pos
sible settlers. More than 10000 Amer
leans will cross into Canada this year
looking for homes. They will take with
them an average of $1,000 apiece. Be-
sides the loss sof good, thrifty farmers,
this means s70,o00.000 OF good American
money is leaving the country, all be-
cause the Canadians have framed their
land laws on "a liberal plan.
