FISHER IN KANSAS.

| President Taft admits that he is a
poor politician: but certainly he shines
as a politician compared with Secre.
| tary Fisher. The latter, in a three
minutes address at Hutchinson, Kan
sas. rcopencd the war against Taft
which Taft himself had practically
quelled. The President has been in
Kansas for a number of days; was
winning golden opinions from every
body; there was not breath of con
tcntious politics in all Of his speeches
and receptions. But the minute Secre'
tary Fisher was heard from the pro,
gressives were denounced as hypocritcs,
demagogues. and not true progressivcs
at all. OF course. his challenge was
Immediately accepted by Senator Bris-
tow, who pointed out the narrowncss of
view of Secretary Fisher in assuming
that he himself had the only honest
opinion that could be entertained OF
the questions at issue.
And so the fire which President Taft
bad taken so much pains TO cover up
was started in full fury by Secretary
Fisher the first minute he got chance
at Kansas politics.
The one encouraging thing that
comes from Secretary Fisher IN Kansas
is, that he is determined to do some
thing TO free Alaska from the shackles
which the Pinchot conservation has
thus far fastened upon that unhappy
region And if he viii do this, and
do it in broad, generous spirit, the
country can afford to ignore his little
break in Kansas

ON CITY GOVERNMENT.

In laying the corner stone of the new
city building in Hutchinson. Kansas,
on Tuesday, President Taft took occa.
sion to speak some words with respect
to municipal government. These words
seemed TO favor the commission form,
but only as a step towards the more
compact ultimate system which he pro-
nounced almost in the same connection
to be the ideal form of city govern
ment. He cited the fact that expert.
ence shows that the people are work
ing towards bctterment in city admin
istration. 1t is on this general ten
dency, he explained, that the commits
sion government is based, which fixes
responsibility ION one or very small
body of men, Thus the people are
able to fix some definite responsibility,
and TO hold one or a very few people
responsible for anything that goes
wrong.
But, added the President. "if
yon give the Mayor under the so.callcd
federal system the right to appoint all
the officers and any officer fails, the
Mayor is responsible because he ap
pointed him, and he ought to remove
him if he is bad man. or make him
better if he is capable of improve.
ment' And he continued that this
same principle is exemplified in the
commission form of government.
We have been of the opinion for a
long time that the commission form of
government is merely transition step
towards an even more concentrated
form. and it seems as though the
American people, in their search for
some responsible head for whatever
goes amiss. or for whatever goes es-
pecially well, in city administration,
Will eventually determine that one
person must be the responsible head of
the government. Just as one person is
the responsible head Of any ono of the
vast business enterprises and combina.
tions of the country. Indeed some
cities have gone to this limit already,
and have vested the administrative
power in the hands of one man,

trated theory is that one man. say the
Mayor as the President suggests, can
make the appointment Of all of the ex-
perts and be himself responsible for
their work, thus concentrating The re-

out by Mr. Coffin are taken. and the
stockholders receiving as dividends the

for the bank it is difficult to sec what

MANTI RESERVE A WARNING

1t is something of a surprise to learn.
as the public did yesterday by The
Tribune s special dispatch from Wash.
ington, that the Manti forest reserve
is considered in Washington as an aw.
full example of ovcr-grazing and the
destructive effects of that evil prac-
tice IL is held that this over. grazing
is responsible for the heavy floods of
spring, and for the restriction of the
water supply later in the season.
We say that II is a surprise to learn
this. because for many years past the
MantI reserve, with all of its grazing
privileges, has been directly, positively.
absolutely, and exclusively in charge of
the Forestry service of the United
States. That service has dictated the
grazing privileges on that reserve. II
has let out those grazing privileges in
a way to suit itself and has continued
this year after year. until now, under
the management Of this Forestry serv-
ice the Manti reserve is ian awful
example!
The Tribune has been trying to show
TO the forestry people that this would
be the inevitable result Of their man
.sgement. They would not hear. how.
ever: but now all at once they wake
up to the facts. But. as usual. the Bu.
reau Of Forestry is inclined to throw
the blame on somebody else, whereas
the blame belongs directly 10 that bu-
reau. II is that bureau which has had
control, which has appointed the
rangers. has apportioned the grazing
privileges. and in shor, has had COM
plete control of that reserve for so
many years that escape from response
bility is quite impossible.
II the Manti reserve is an awful ex-
ample, il is so because the Forestry
service has made il that. and il is i'm
possible To imagine any way for the

A PLEA FOR HOLDINGS.

a short while ago II was announced
that there was disagreement between
Secretary MscNeagh and Attorney
General Wickcrsham on the orgauiza
tion of holding companies by the Ma
tional banks. 1t WAS maintained by
Mr.. Wickcrsham that such companies
were iilegal and he announced that he
would move in the court for their dis
solution.
Mr.. MacVoagh. on the other hand
entirely legal. that there Was no way
TO reach them under the Law, and thai
the stockholders OF National banks had
perfect right to put their surplus AT
the service Of holding company OF
their creation; this both as matter of
law and of finance.
