LAFOLLETTE
SCORES TAFT
Bv ma United Press.

By The United Press.
MADISON, Wis, Aug. 4.-Following
President Taft's message to Congress,
an explanation of his Alaskan policy,
Senator LaFollette, in the current is
sue of LaFollette's Weekly, character
lied Taft's present cons ssryation pol
icy as the same old Bailinger policy
repudiated by the public.
"Ballinger is now gone, crowned
with presidential laurels." says Sena-
tor LaFollette, but Ballingerism re-
mains. This is the meaning of Taft's
statement in the Controller Bay case.
These lands skirting the shore of Con-
troller Bay, should never have be9n
thrown open to private individuals.
DO not lose sight of that fact. 1t is tho
essential fact in this controversy.
"The manner in which Taft let Ryan
get foothold on this strategic poin Is
important only as 1t illuminates the
Taft methods. The act itself
is important as showing how very
insecure are our valuable natural pos
sessions under the Taft policy"
LaFollette declares Roosevelt kept
these terminal lands from individuals
by placing them in the Chugach Forest
Reserve, but Taft, "at the request OF
Ryan, took out of the reserve for the
very purpose Of letting them go tc
private individuals and corporations
