As to the value of the coal lands over which the dissensions arose that led to the discharge of GIayi7 and the Bailin. ger-Pinchot controversy, it is said that the main vein on the Cunningham claims, the most carefully exported property in Che district, is 24 feet wide, worth S12OOO an acre on basis of 50 cents a ton, without counting the ether veins on the land. The price charged by tho government for this land to the claimants is S10 an acre. A tract of 2,5GO acres of the Cunningham prop erty would produce at least 45,0OO,OOO tons, worth 622,5OO,0O0. The govern ment price to the claimants under the former liberal Alaska coal laws would yield profit when developed approXi- mately one thousand times what the government sells it for.

Department Of Agriculture scientific
farming has become the vogue In this
country. with q consequent increase In
the percentage of the productivity Of the
SOIL It has been the American boast
for some years past that our farming
methods are superior to those employed
elsewhere. A voluminous literature has
come into being on this subject. Illus

other advances toward ideal farming It

this respect, with rejoinders from the
scientific agriculturists. II our farming
methods are today more costly in pro-
portion to the product than In the past
it would appear that We are paying a
high price for our betterments.
1t is undeniable that the farmers have
taken advantage of processes formerly
utilized to their loss by those to whom
they sold their products. According to the
Senate committees majority report, the
food producers of this country are on all
fours with the food distributors In the
matter of profit taking The only un-
organized factor Of the equation is the
consumer. and the futility, at present at
least. of seeking to organize him was
proved by the failure OF the meat boy

to note that the majority report. having

The Conservation Investigation.

thought but fair that the voters be ad-
vised before election day of the conclu-
sions reached by the committee Of In
vestigation.
When the investigation. was proposed it
was asserted that no politics was In
VOWED. But this was soon disproved.
Politics at once became very much In
evidence. and the committee assignments
showed that the democrats wanted any
advantage obtainable from the republican
row. The investigation has emphasized
this spirit. and it Is expected that the
reports will follow partisan lines. the
republicans standing for. and the demo-
Gratis against. Mr.. Ballinger
1t may appear that Mr.. Roosevelts re-
turn has robbed this controversy Of some
Of its campaign value. Mr.. Pinchot being
his friend and appointee. 1t was assumed
that Mr. Roosevelt would take his side,
and when Mr.. Pinchot left for Europe
report had it upon Mr.. Roosevelts invita-
tion-the popular guess was that both the
President and Mr.. Ballinger would feel
the weight of the former Presidents dis
pleasure.
The country is differently advised today.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not invite Mr.. Pinchot
to visit him in Italy. He met him there,
and discussed conservation and the Bal
linger quarrel with him. But he also met
Mr.. Root abroad, and heard what may be
termed the ADMINISTRATORS side from
him, Mr.. Root speaking with the author
ity of a member OF the investigating
committee full Of the testimony that had
been taken.
Since his return Mr.. Roosevelt has said
nothing indicating his views on any OF
the questions with which the Taft ad-
ministration has dealt. We do not know
what he thinks about the Payne law,
about the new railroad law, or about
conservation as affected by Secretary
BalIinger's course in office and the Presi-
dents dismissal Of Mr.. Pinchot for an
act Of INSTRUMENTATION. But there Is the
best ground for the assertion, that he Is
still most friendly to the President. and
not ouotable on the side of any OF the
active opponents of the administration.
In September Mr.. Roosevelt will speak
at st. Paul on conservation. and we shall
get his views on the subject up to date.
We should then be able to gather what
he thinks of what has been done since
he left the White House, and particularly
what ne thinks should follow the con-
servation legislation just enacted. Con-
