Of
Wants Conservation Legislation.
President Taft is taking up with Sen.
ate and House leaders the necessity for
conservation legislation at this session
OF Congress. One of those he conferred
with today was Senator Carter. The
President will use his efforts from now
on toward getting Congress interested
in this subject. For long time. while
the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy was
raging. senator's and representative were
ripe for legislation to meet the require
ments of the conservation question. but
the beheading of Pinchot and the loss
OF interest in the hearing before Con-
gres have caused a diminutisn of CON
Germ all aong the line
The President, however, does not over
look the pledges he has made in speeches
and TO visitors-that he will use his pow
er 10 put conservation legislation on the
books. Two months ago he had in his
desk several bills embracing his views
as 10 what sort of laws should be pa ssed.
Ihese were given to the appropriate
committees of Congress, which have slept
over them without action that seems IN
indicate Intention to do business The
President, as in his stand for railway
legislation, Is not advocating any special
measure or measures, but does not want
TO see Congress leave here until the ques-
ton has been fully considered and actod
upon.
Adjournment June 20 Likely.
According to the opinion of Vice Pres,-
dent Sherman, who often calls upon Tho
President. Congress will be here lonf
enough to put through conservato
legislation and make many other law
The Vice President says he thinks Jul
20 about the time adjournment will TAX
place. -. n
When President Taft went out for A
long walk yesterday afternoon he turned
the cabinet room over to Senator Root.
William Loeb, jr., and Naval Officer
kracke OF the port of New York, and
these three conferred for several hours
over New York politics.
W. 8. Fielding, minister OF finance for
the Dominion OF Canada, is scheduled FOR
q conference with President Taft this aft
ernoon or tomorrow on the Canadian tar
III situation. Mr. Fielding saw the Presi-
dent at Albany by invitation of the
chief executive. His visit to Washington
at this time is upon his own motion and
this is taken as a harbinger of salts
factory conclusion of the negotiations for
amicable trade and tariff relations be-
tween the United States and Canada.
White House and other officials who
have heretofore regarded the situation Is
far from promising an amicable outcome,
are now hopeful of agreeable results. The
opinion is that Mr.. Fielding would not
have come to Washington uniess he were
prepared to make some concessions TO
the United States in return for the appl-
cation of the minimum rates of the
Payne law to Canadian goods.
