SATURDAY. APRIL 2, 1910

With hundreds of new settlers
into the Northwest country this
spring, taking up land, popuiating
the cities, starting new industries,
bringing new life and new money,
it is interesting to see what the
guiding force is which brings
this new population to the west.
From a newspaper 10 the east we
quote the following, which is self
explanatory:
"Searchlights of publicity are
being turned on the vast wealth Of
agricultural possibilities of Mont
ana, Idaho, Washington, North
Dakota and Oregon by President
Louis w. Hill of the Great North
ern Railroad,
1.-THE high cost of living or the
cost of high living has developed a
feeling of unrest in every crowded
center.
"You can hear twice az much
talk of back to the soi]' in the
large cities today as you heard q
year ago.
LAND hunger, which economists
tell us always exists with American
people has been aroused to an acute
stage.
president Hill proposes TO take
advantage of this land hunger anC
give the public specific facts in
stead of vague generalities."

Conservation with use has be-
come a commonly familiar term
during the recent months of the
controversy, but it has remained
for the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce to give it an exact and COM
prehensive definition, and to attach
to it plan of action. Judge Tho
mas Burke, Chairman of the Cham
bers committee on affairs
and everywhere known as man
of broad vision and firm grasp OF
public affairs, submitted last week
report EN- bodying his views which
was Endorsed by his associates on
the committee and unanimously
adopted by the Chamber.
Judge Rurke's plan proposes to
afford incoming settlers every faci-
lily and encouragement to develope
the vast natural resources of the
west, while at the same time abso-
lrtely preventing waste and mono
polistic control. Two paragraphs
of his report summarize his position
as follows:
"Any policy that would seal up
or unnecessarily retard the use of
Natures wealth not only would be
of no benefit to the present or to
future generations, but would be a
positive injury to both. Full and
development under wise and effect
ual regulation against the abuses
of monopoly is the true policy
for this country" Answer again, u
The reclamation of arid lands by
our general government is a public
service of the first Importance and
deserves the hearty support of cit
liens in all parts of the country" ,
Judge Burke points out thai
there is much danger at this time
to the public interests from hasty
passionate and inconsiderate actor
both in and out of Congress. III,
bring forward the original suggest
ion that Congress, after providing
power to the President to max,
temporary Withdrawals of lane
pending further Congressional act
ion, should authorize the appoint
ment of commission of experts t
investigate the whole subject ant
to r. port as soon as possible basi
for land legislation which will
protecting the public against tn
wasteful use of natural resource
and against monopoly, will pu
