Fight Follows-Railroad Bill Up.
Washington.-Conservation legislation
in the senate and the postal savings bill
in the house constitute the feature of
the congressional program for the COM
ing week. The general opinion is that
both measures viii be voted upon before
Saturday night, and that they will be
sent to conference.
Party lines will be dissolved and new
lines of insurgency developed in the SEN
ate in connection with the public land
withdrawal bill. Some of the western
members are preparing to make vigorous
assaults upon the Roosevelt Garfield ad-
ministration of the domain and as re-
CARDS the blanket Withdrawals of LARGE
areas.
1t is not improbable this course will
lead to some bitter criticism of the more
conservative policies of the Taft-Ballin-
ger administration.
Western Men in Rival Camps.
The discussions will be over the ad-
ministration bill that has passed the
house to authorize the president to with
draw public lands for purposes of CLASH
tcation for the protection of water
power sites, for forest reserves, and to
prevent mineral lands from falling into
the hands of m0nOp0lies. Many western
members, notably Senators Warren and
Clark Of Wyoming, Hepburn and Borah
Of Idaho, Carter Of Montana and
Hughes of Colorado, express fear that
the enactment Of this measure would
mark the return of the policy Of - lock-
ing up great tracts of land and that
the western states might be deprived
Of the benefits that would accrue from
their development.
On the other hand, the more radical
program carried out during the regime
Of former Chief Forester Pinchot is IA
vored by such western members as Sen
ators Dixon Of Montana, Flint and Per.
kins Of California, Piles Of Washing
ton, Chamberlain Of Oregon and Bourne
Of Oregon, Smoot and Sutherland Of
Utah and numerous Others.
Strong support for Taft Plans.
Administration Leaders are committed
10 the conservation legislation ady0-
Gated By President Taft, and II Is not
doubted that the house bin Tor the sith.
dfaNai Of public lands for conservation
purposes viii be passed az any early
date and that the measure viii emerge
