MIR. Madison discusses the Pinchot
charges and the question OF water power
sites and their withdrawal by the govern
ment in order to prevent monopoly. He
says:

without authority or law, although there
was much authority TO uphold Mr.. Gar
fields action and restored the lands to en-
| try and exposed them TO the danger of
ultimately, without any restriction as to
their use, falling into the possession OF
those who would monopoliZe the power.
At the time of the restoration he did not
/ intend to re-withdraw the lands, hut on
account OF protests from those whom he
said had an exaggerated idea of danger he
re-withdrew the lands in sufficient guam
tity TO protest the sites.
lie made to senator La Toilette in a
letter, as reason for restoring a large
portion of the land the statement that the
reclamation service has recommended the
restoration OF the lapd to the public do
main. This statement also was made in a
letter to the president. The evidence be-
fore the committee shows that the officers
OF the reclamation service protested
against the restorations.
Mr.. Ballinger's course toward the d.
rector OF the reclamation service since
/ he has been secretary has been such as
to destroy discipline and harmony In the

we're those which arose out OF the Cunning
ham claims and the restoration OF the
water power sites. These had to do with
the conservation OF the natural resources
OF the nation. Mr.. Ballnger, on one side,
and Mr.. Pinchot and Mr.. Garfield on the
other, occupy entirely opposite positions to-
ward that policy.
MIR. Baiiinger was willing that the Cum
bingham claimants should obtain their
patents without investigation, although the
signs were prominent and he must have
been aware OF them, that they were travel
ing toward the Morgan -Guggeuheim syndi-
cate and monopoly. He was willing to
throw the power sites along the streams of
the west into danger Of acquisition by
those who would monopoize them. He
could see no danger In returning them TO
entry and only submitted 10 their rewith-
real danger. protested and denounced his
attitude.
Mr. Madison discusses conservation and
the necessity thereof, also declaring II a
crime to permit the natural resources and
waterpower sites ito fall into the hands
Of those who will monopolize them and use
them TO the enrichment OF the few and the
lmpoverishmert NJ the many"
The report continues: Mr.. Pnchot be-
lieved that the policy Of conservation was
being attacked in the very place where
a friend OF conservation was most needed
and his acts have been inspired by the de-
sire to protect the policies to which he is
devoted.
ct regret that I am compelled TO arrive
at a conclusion different from the one which
was arrived at by the president, for whom
I feel the highest personal regard and re-
spect. We have had before us many wit
nesses and have a vast amount of docu-
mentary evidence and have had the oppor-
tunity of testing the credibllty of witnesses
in the most searching manner and after
hearing them all, have arrived at these
conclusions"

fair Not an act that he committed is
fraught with the slightest suspicion. We
believe that his whole service In his
official capacity was actuated by sincere
love for the public good. lie was a faithful
public official he was just officer, he was
a vigilant and courageous defender OF the
public property, he was an enemy and inn
placable foe to the land grabber and

attempting to seize the public domain. He
