We hold that phosphate deposits un-

of the United States for commercial pur-.

ownership to be retained.
I'VE urge immediate investigation by
the federal government Of the damage
done by the smelling OF copper ores and
the feasibility of so improving methods
as TO utilize the injurious by-products
In connection with phosphateic fertillz-
crs,
I'VE favor cooperative action on the
ca
crnment and approve the policy OF re-
storing to settlement such public lands
as are more valuable for agriculture.
Favor Reforestration.
We earnestly recommend that the
states and federal government acquire
for other purposes. and that all existing
forests publicly and privately owned be
fully protected by state and federal gov
crnments. We recognize the valuable
services Of the forest service to the pco-
pie and earnestly recommend that II
be more generously supported by the fed
eral government. and that state, federal
erously provided for the preservation OF
forests and human life. and appreciate
and approve of the continuance OF the
service of the United States army in fire
control in emergencies.
1--WE favor the repeal OF the timber
and stone law.
1--WE indorse the proposition for the
OF the Southern Appalachian and White
Mountain forests,
eve recommend that the federal gov
ernment conserve migratory birds and
wild game animals.
I'VE recommend that public and pri-
vate schools instruct the youth OF the
land in the fundamental doctrines OF
conservation.
I'VE realize that the fullest enjoyment
of our natural resources depends upon
the life and development OF the people
physically. intellectually and morally, and
In order TO promote this purpose we rec
ommend that the training and protection
of the people and whatever pertains TO
the health and general efficiency be en-
couraged by methods and legislation
suitable to this end. Child labor should |
be prevented and child life protected and
developed,
Conservation of Life.
Realizing the waste of life in trans
and mining operations, we rec
ommend legislation increasing the use of
proper safeguards for the conservation
order to make better provision for pro-
curing the health OF the nation a de-
OF public health be established
oy the national government.
1--WE recommend the adequate mainte-
nance OF a national conservation com
mission to investigate the natural re-
sources of the country and TO cooperate
With the work of the state conservation
and maintenance of conser-
Tation commissions or corresponding
agencies on the part OF the states OF the
Union.
Nothing in these resolutions to be con-
trued as questioning the rights of the
tates or the people OF the United States
guaranteed under the federal constitu-
ion.'
Fight Over Taft's Name.
The fight for the insertion OF the name
4 President Taft started originally at a
Meeting OF state conservation commits
toner's. At this meeting. Henry Hardt-
er OF Louisiana declared that the con-
crvation principles favored by the con-
ention were no more those OF Roosevelt
han OF Taft. He asserted with much
eat that the congress was much less a
observation congress than straight po- [
tical meeting. the tendency Of which
eemed to be to exalt Roosevelt at the ,
Expense OF Taft.
The state commissioners thereupon
oted to demand that Taft's name be
1entioned the same as that of his pre-
'as declared that the fight would be car l
