victory won by the enemies of the
conservation movement was when they
succeeded in having congress legislate
them immunity from interference at
the hands of the United States secret
service. This occurred during the
Roosevelt administration. The secret
service men had been hot on the trail
of the land thieves, investigating and
exposing every fraudulent claim. Hun

With a reduction of ten cents per
hundred, the state board of control
has announced the 1910 price of pen
itentiary grain bags, the quotation for
carload shipments being $3.50, instead
of Sc as was the figure last year. An
nouncement was made this morning by
Warden C. S. Reed that the tariff
schedule had been revised by members
of the board, and that farmers would
receive a better price than that of
1906 In shipments of less than car
load, the bags are quoted at six cents
each, thus affecting a reduction of four
cents in the past three or four years.
The rule of farmers for the past
two years has been to order their grain
bags through the Farmers union of
which they were members, and by so
doing the orders could be filled at the
prison in carload lots, and a great re-
duction in price affected. Meetings

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-(Special to
the Statesman).-In the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy the enemies of
conservation of natural resources have
used. and are still using President Taft
as a cats paw to strike down those
government employees who have reso-
lutely stood in the way of the patent
ing of fraudulent land claims.
No one, of course, believes that Mr.
Taft would knowingly protect men
using illegal methods of securing gov
ernment lands. Yet the fact remains
that at least unconsciously, the presi-
dent has aided conservation foes
through allowing certain advisers to
incite him to drive from the public
service nearly every man who stood
out in the foreground in the fight
against the land and timber thieves.
Not since there has been conser-
vation movement have conditions been
so propitious for land and timber
thieves to get in their work as now.
The few adherents of Pinchot and
Roosevelt that remain in the govern
ment service have had their useful
ness to the people completely destroy
ed by the moral contained in the OBJ
iect lessons they have just witnessed.
President Taft's gag" order, lssuer
to preyent every government employe
save secretaries of departments from
giving information, even to members
of congress, is not necessary. The feel
ing of the average employe in Wash
;npton today is that if he should see
underhandedness or fraud, and should
reveal it, his position would not be
worth five. cents.
The dismissal of Clifford Pinchot as
head of the forestry bureau marked
the climax of a systematic fight that
the land thieves have carried on for
two years to get control Of the United

men who performed any duty save in
connection with the treasury depart
ment and the protecting of the presi-
dent could not legally draw their sal
ary from the government.
The calling off of the secret service
however, did not give the land thieves
the completeness of immunity that
they wished Pinchot, CLAWS and 9TH
ers interposed themselves between the
land thieves and the patenting of their
fraudulent claims CLAWS, in partic-
ular, proved a genius at ferreting out
frauds. He saved to the people some

No one profited by his dismissal save
the land thieves. Pinchot and two OF
his chief assistants have since paid
the penalty for interfering with fraud
ulent land claims. If Pinchot had not
protested no one doubts but that he
would now still be chief forester.
Pinchot was the originator OF the
conservation movement. Roosevelt Sc
cured most of his ideas and enthusl-
asm on the subject from Pinchot. we
have Col. Roosevelt's personal word on
the matter On May 13, 1908, at the
famous White House conference OF
governors. President Roosevelt SAID:
