THE NEXT FIGHT.

With the railroad rate bill out OF
the way and the postal savings bank
bill well in hand, the next fight In
congress will come up on the con-
servation issue. and it promises to
be the most bitter of all There
are two parties and a misunder-
standing involved. and 1t would be
best first to dispose of the misunder-
standing. Conservation does not
mean collecting the resources OF the
as Joseph gathered the
gran OF Egypt and stored II for a
season of drouth; but ii does mean
the economical use of the resources
under government supervision, so as
not to waste the fuel and coal or
permit "a monopoly of the water
power or denuding the watersheds
OF their forest covering. Properly
administered, the conservation policy
should not at all interfere with the
mining of coal and fuel and the
cutting of timber. or the Harvesting
of the waterfalls. The supervision
is merely to prevent waste and to
prevent combined interests seizing
the water sites and the coal and
fuel deposits and holding them.
There is as much danger that the
untrammeled occupation OF these
valuable lands will prevent their
use, as there Is that they will be
wasted in exploitation, since the
Guggenheim syndicate has evinced
an inclination 10 hold these power
sites and fuel deposits until the
country Is in distress and II can
extort the last penny for their hold
ings.
Unquestionably there are fanatics,
who would hold government land
unused against all corners. These
men are fretting the northwest,
which wants capital and immigrants.
and probably the conservation policy
at the beginning did not work alto
gether smoothly-it would be excep-
tional If Il did-and this has made
il obnoxious. On the other hand
there are the Guggenheims and their
kind ready TO fight with their mil
lions every attempt to restrict them,
and their activity casts suspicion
on a conservative rational program,
which is less radical than the IA
natics could wish.
As usual the Taft smile will be
in the center Of the fight. appearing
to each side to be turned toward the
other; but the smile will triumph
will result

LEGISLATIVE BLACKMArr.

The latest disclosures in connec-
ton with the Illinois bribery case
bring to light proof of what every
body acquainted with politics knows
exists in nearly every state legisla-
ture. a conspiracy of members TO
blackmail the business interests OF
the state under cloak of reform.
The modus operandi is simple. A
combination is formed under leader
ship of astute politicians, members
introduce bills. placing new restric-
lions on railroads and other inter
ests. public service corporations OF
ALI kinds. certain lines OF commercial
and manufacturing business and the
fishing industry to the number OF
scores. Then the leaders, well known
to the lobbyists. are seen and an
agreed amount is paid the leaders
for killing the measures. This
amount is distributed among the
participants in the Jackpot" and
bills, which have been referred to
the proper committees, never see the
light. Meanwhile. the ''introducer'
OF the bill. possibly. has secured
recognition at once as great re-
former, and he Is not blamed for
the fact that his bill is killed, while
he is given a share of the Doodle for
his work. OF course, there are
legitimate reform bills introduced.
These can be distinguished from the
"blackmailing" measures in two
ways: In the first place, the charac-
ter of the man sent to the legisla-
ture is generally known to his con-
stituents, and his reputation and as
sociations at home and In politics
give him his standing. The nature
of the fight made for the passage OF
the measure also indicates the
amount of good faith behind 1t.
A fishing concern, engaged in the
fish industry in Illinois, admitted
that il has been contributing to the
Jackpot" for % years for protec-
tion. We elect buns and crooks 10
the legislature and then blame the
business interests for bribing the
general assembly. We could with as
good grace arm the same men and
set them on the highway to hold NJ
travellers. and blame the travellers
for debauching our citizens. Turn
where we will, we cannot escape the
responsibility for all the crimes
committed in our state legislatures
II we elect high class. decent men
to office they will conduct them
selves properly. There are enough
of them in every legislature to prove
this.

Every month In Cedar Rapids the
hired managers render TO the people
that hire them an exact account OF
the peoples business, every item OF
receipt, every item of expenditure,
with a balance sheet, so that the
people may judge how well their
hired men are doing their work.
In all these cities the public busi-
ness is apportioned among the COM
miSsioners, each becoming the head

These experiments are young and
may possibly be deemed not concur
sivc. but the following achievements
OF the new plan seem TO be fairly
well established:
/. II abolishes party politics
from local affairs.
2. IL eliminates the boss. the
CRATER and the political machine.
s. II views a municipality as a
great business enterprise and pro-
vides accordingly for its effective
management.
4. II recognizes definitely the
failure OF representative government
and substitutes therefor a system OF
democracy; y IT recognizes the fact
that there Is no wisdom but eollec-
tive wisdom.
5. II establishes direct response
bility for every public act
G. II seems 20 be swift. efficient.
economical, and adapted to a ration

disappointed in our municipal af-
fans that we may be pardoned II We
look with some misgivlng upon everp

exactly In accord with the plainest

SOCIALISM.

Representatives at Washington
think President Taft is unduly
alarmed about socialism, because OF
the success OF the movement in Mil
waukee. President Taft was not
discussing the Socialist party; he
was discussing socialism, that theory
OF economics which would abolish
the ancient doctrine of equality of
opportunity to exercise natural tall
ents TO the fullest extent OF ones
capacity, and place artificial restric-
lions On the initiative OF those most
carable OF serving society. The So
cialst calls his cult practical chris
tianity; but the difference is subtle
and can always be distinguished by
the person in which charges against
the wrongs of modern society are
made. IL one accuses society in the
third person. as a critic standing of
ana viewing evils in which he is not
participant. he Is a socialist. II
he places the accusation In the first
person, acknowledges his own short
comings and own responsibilities,
searches his own heart for the evils
OF the day and endeayors 70 work
reform by starting with himself. he
rs a practical Christian. It's easier
10 be a Socialist.
