ONE COAST MAN is AGAINST
STATE CONTROL OF FORESTS

idea of all these people who are
making these INSTRUMENTATION APP
pointments is that land should be
given over to state control. There
seems to be a very apparent per-
sonal interest in having that done.
We have seen what has happened to
land turned over to states. 1t has
never been conserved. Such policy
Is disastrous.
"The object OF this anti-conserya-
tion movement seems TO be 10 get
the forests into the control of the
states for the use of special inter
ests.
II feel sure that the Pinchot, Gar
field, Roosevelt policies OF conserYa-
tion will be enthusiastically ap-
proved by the conservation con-
gress."
Arnold left this afternoon for st.
Paul.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 3.-Gifford
Pinchot made what was pronounced
today as one of the greatest speeches
of his career before a large and en-
thusiastic audience here last night.
He took up the cudgels for Senator
La Toilette and it is predicted that
the Wisconsin senator's stock will
take a big boost. Pinchot was ten
dered an ovation that lasted several
minutes. He said:
1--WE want La Toilette back in the
senate. He is needed to continue the
fight alongside of Roosevelt and if
you will permit me to say it, along
side myself.
Conservation is a broad term
In it's broader sense it means the ap-
APPLICATION of common sense by all
the people to the things that in a
direct way affect the people. 1t is
not confined to the department of
the interior or any other department.
1t applies to the whole nation and to
every part of it.

Olympia, WASH, Sept. 3.---On the
eve of his departure last night for
st. Paul, where he win attend the
conservation congress, Governor Hay
of Washington, officially denied that
the recent Salt Lake meeting of
Western governors had been prompt
ed by Louis Hill, president of the
Great Northern, and Howard Elliott,
president of the Northern Pacific.
At the same time Hay admits that
Hill had wired him, upholding the
action taken by Hay
The meeting In question was called
by Hay who strongly favors state
control of forest reserves as against
national control. He is very out
spoken against the Pinchot policies
of conservation. In his denial Hay
said:
"The Salt Lake conference was
called because Thomas Shipp, secre-
tary of the conservation congress,
formerly secretary to Clifford Pin
chot, declined to accede to my re-
quests of July 18th and again of the
22nd that an hours time out of the
five days session be allowed some
man whom l should designate to
speak on conservation from the
