1.-The danger OF bad legislation is no
less serious. The special interests
must no longer be allowed 10 take
what they choose out OF the great
property of all the people. Those who
steal public lands steal homes from
men and women who need them. Con-
gress can stop the pillage. or congress
can let IL 90 on.
In the absence OF proper action two
great conservation plans for the pun
lie welfare may fall The first Is the
control of water powers on navigable
streams in the public interests The
second is the construction OF the deep
waterway from the great lakes TO the
gulf.
The unanimous opinion OF the Mis-
sissippi valley recognized this water
way as commercial necessity. IL be-
lieves, with reason. that the cost,
which Is already officially known, will
be trivial when compared. with the
benefits conferred Transportation IA

In such action. says Pinchot. lies
the remedy.
The first great immediate danger
Is that the water powers will be lost; i;
the second that the coal lands will
be lost" the statement concludes.
But these specific dangers OF pub
lie loss are merely parts OF the greater
issues between the special interests

money for profit
