STANDS BY The WEST.
Senator Borah Speaks for Conserva-
ton of Resources.

Washington, June 20.-'What we
want is sane. practical conservation
/ policy, under reasonable regulation,
permitting the development of our nat
,ural resources in accordance with the
natural laws of progress and indus
trial growth" declared Senator Borah
in addressing the senate today, during
consideration of conservation legisla-
ton.
Mr.. Borah spoke as the champion of
the west. cit would be a magnificent
scheme. indeed" he exclaimed. ito
compel the whole great west to hold
its vast resources in idleness. deprive
its people of their enjoyment and use
and compel them to pay tribute to
those resources of which you have TAX
en- possession here in the east and de-
veloped at your own free will"
Contending that 1t was a violation OF
every principle of the constitution to
withhold Sower sites from the use OF
or the western states, Mr.. Borah IN
ouired: IF Illinois or Massachusetts
receives thousands or even millions or
dollars as revenue for their water
power and Idaho receives nothing, but,
on the other hand, pays millions into
the federal treasury, is there equality
among the states?" He said that the
contention that natural resources in
state belonged to all the people OF the
United States was all right in theory
but that in practice it was utterly un-
true.
Our power sites do not in any sense
of the term belong to the people of New
England or New York. continued the
senator. They are to be utilized by
those who make themselves citizens of
the state and join with others in try
ing to build UP a commonwealth" He
argued that 1t never had been the
| theory of the government that these re-
sources should be utilized as revenue
producing proposition but that they
were for the benefit of all the people.
| But he said. 1.-The people must come
within the state in order to avail
themselves Of the use and benefit"
Mr.. Borah said congress could not
promote conservation by treating pow
er sites, which to utilize was to con-
serve, as it did coal beds, which to
utilize was to consume. AS to unde-
veloped natural resources he said that
congress had adopted laws to prevent
waste, extravaganza and monopoly,
so as to insure their economic and
bona fide use by the people, it was
about as far as the United States gov
eminent could go. He added that as
to timber there always should be the
encouragement and aid of reforesta-
ton as that was something that could
be reproduced.

ON HIS OWN ACCOUNT.
President Taft Urges Passage of Cam
paign Publicity Bill.

Washington, June 20.-President
Taft decided today to make an issue
of the passage by congress before the
adjournment of the present session of
the bill providing for the publicity of
contributions in all campaigns affect
ing federal officers.
The president sent for party leaders
in both the house and senate and tod
them his views regarding this piece of
legislation. Mr.. Taft said he had made
a personal pledge during the last presi-
Dental campaign to do what he could
toward furthering the publicity bill.
The president had hesitated to add
this bill to his program, however,
while congress was devoting itself to
those measures to which the party had
definitely committed itself in its plat
form. Now that the program is prac-
tically completed, he has decided to
bring all his influence to bear in be-
half of the publicity bill.
Mr.. Taft took Senator Burrows of
Michigan for long automobile ride
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Burrows is
chairman of the senate committee on
elections. When he and the presi-
dent parted it was with the undoS-
standing that the campaign publicity
bill soon would be called up.
Today the president secured the con-
sent of Senator Brandagee temporarily
to lay the Appalachian forest reserve
bill aside in order that publicity bill
might be given the right of way as
the unfinished business in the senate
following the disposition of the postal
savings bank bill The president does
not anticipate any serious trouble in
getting the bill through the house.
Senators and representatives who
visited the White House were inclined
to the view that congress may adjourn
some time between Thursday and Sat-
urdav of this week. The president
will not be disappointed If the ses-
sion CONTINUES until the Goth. He
will remain in Washington for three
or four days following adjournment
to clear up a lot of matters that are
pending and to talk with party lead
ers. 1t is probable the president will
not begin his vacation until July 4,
when he is due for a speech at Boston.

johnson Ready to Move.
San Francisco. June 20.-Jack
johnson spent today preparing to
make the journey to Nevada which he
will take by train, had abandoned the
idea of making the trip in his automo-
bile. It was with some difficulty that
he was dissuaded by his manager from
making the trip in his racing car, but
he was finally persuaded that the
pleasure of the journey would be
outweighed by the danger of dropping
into one of the mile deep canyons of
the Nevada mountains.

ONE JAP WAS DROWNED.
Three Sailors Try to Evade the I'M

Seattle, Wash, June 20.-Three
Japanese sailors on the Oriental liner
Chicago Maru attempted to escape the
vigilance of the immigration author
tiles and gain entrance into the United
States by jumping overheard Sunday
night. One was drowned, another was
captured and the third escaped half
clad to the Japanese quarter, where
he is in hiding. T. Ganata, who was
drowned, called so loudly for help that
the patrol reached the deck in time
to capture H. Hunjiro just as he was
coming ashore. A Sumato got away
before the officers could catch him
and has not been found.

condemning the work Of the man who
created his position! He did it any
way and Howard took the matter up
with the board of arbitration compos-
ed Of Chief Wilmarth, City Engineer
Fulton and ]. NJ. Mercer. This board
decided that the electrical inspector was
right and after few agreements with
Mr.. Howard the fixture was changed.
1t seems that a certain dining room
lamp fixture with three electric lights
and one gas light was built in such
manner that the temperature within
would become too hot for the wires in
in use. At least Inspector Stewart
claimed so-Howard said not. But it is
settled now and the Joke is on How ard.
