government Withdrawals were illegal Tn
less these claimants are cared for they
will oppose valuation of the with
draWalS.
The democratic members of the COM
mittec say the republican members who
want to qualify the valuation are not for
real conservation at all, but are merely
aiming at embarrassing of the ad-
ministra ton on this question. They have
introduced a bill of their own on the
subject.
Senator Slnoot Friday night called a
meeting to discuss the question of oil
lands. 1t was attended by Senator's
Smoot, Clark of Wyoming. Hughes of Col
oradO, Chamberlain of Oregon. Dixon of
Montana, Secretary BalIinger. Represents
tive Smith of California and one or two
others. The meeting resulted in no def
mite agreement.
Oil on Public Lands.
The details of bill to provide for the
boring for oil on public lands were fully
discussed. disclosing widely divergent
views. The length of lease, the payments
and the matter. of securing permits all
proved subjects of disagreement.
The question of water power ON the
public domain is also full of possible ele
ments of dispute, and it is sure to cause
plenty of trouble. \ proposition to turn
over to the states the matter of the
regulation of granting rights of way tor
power companies operating on the public
domain is said to be meeting with gen
eral favor, but there is still much opposi-
ton TO the federal government relinquish-
ing any part OF the control it may have
over the water power sites.
Altogether, the conservation question is
said to be rocky road for the legislators
to travel. There is great misunderstand-
ing of conditions. it is stated, and few
of tot a,
the vast detail OF the subject. Eastern
members are unfamiliar with conditions
in the west. and the representatives from
the latter section encounter great diff
Guilty in explaining the actual meaning OF
conservation as it relates to the people
OF their districts. Nobody appears to be
opposing conservation, but the question is
how to conserve.

ROCKY ROAD AHEAD
Congress Badly Split Over
Conservation Bills.
MEMBERS NOT INFORMED
Few of Them Fully Acquainted
With the Vast Detail of the Sub
ject, It Is Said.

Members of both the Hous, and Senate
are struggling with the question OF franz
ing laws to further the cause of conser-
vation Up to within the past two or
threesdays both houses of Congress have
been. SO occupied that little attention has
beenspaid to the subject. Since Friday,
however. efforts have been made to get
some of the administration measures
dealing with conservation into shape for
presentation.
The public lands committee of the
House has gone to pieces on the pro-
ro<edalaws 20 authorize the President to
make Withdrawals and ciassif1cations OF
public lands and the members are now
divided into several groups, each pulling
in a different direction.
The chief questions which the legis-
latorS have to deal with In connection
with the conservation are embodied in.
bills on the following subjects:
lands.
Conservation OF coal lands.
Conservation of water power.
Conservation of oil lands.
Conservation of phosphate lands
The first four will receive serious ana
earnest consideration. The bills on the
last named one are likely to be lost in the
general fight on the others There are
any number OF blllS pendinS IN congress
upon all of these subjects and how best

President Drawn In.
President Taft will be drawn into the
fight, and yesterday he informed some of
the members of the committee that he
desired to talk with them next week In
the interest of harmony.
In the committee the republican mem
bers are split upon the question OF
whether to validate all past Withdrawals
of public lands, about which there is a
doubt of legality, or to leave that to a
future determination by the courts.
Representatives Pickett of Iowa, Par
sons of New York and Gronna of North
Dakota, all republicans. are standing firm
for a valuation of past Withdrawals.
Chairman Mondell of the committee and
Representatives Smith of California, Nor
gan of Oklahoma and Pray of Montana
are opposing the effort to validate past
withdrawals Their objection they say.
is that thousands of people have taken
