The brief declares that although the
Cunningham case involves one of the rich
est coal deposits on the North American
Continent, worth many millions of dollars,
the responsibility Of saving these lands to
the people was placed by the Government
authorities in the hands of young lawyer
who had been a translator of Spanish in
one of the Government departments at
$1,000 year, and had been graduated
only IS months, had never tried case in
court and whose actual practical law ex-
perience was limited to Al days. The
Pinchots say that the people are entitled
to full and able presentation of their
case, and declare that no transfer Of the
Cunningham cases to court would relieve
the Executive Department of responsibility
for failure to have the case fully presented
by attorneys Of experience and ability.
1t will be recalled that Secretary Balm
ger in his annual report recommended that
the question of the validity Of the Gun
ningham claims be taken from his office
and submitted to the United States Court
for the District of Columbia for settlement
and that President Taft approved this
recommendation The only excuse for such
action would be the assumption that the
questions of law or the evidence involved in
the matter were not clear. This the Pin
chots deny, and they present strong arsu-
ment that the Cunningham claims we're
fraudulently made and contrary to the law.

What President Taft will do with tn,
oussornrcin nIunupoly in Alaska is tn,
question brought up by the brief which
Clifford PinchOt and his brother Amos die,
with the President Monday The Pinchot
have put it up to the President to canoe
Immediately the Cunningham coal claim
in Alaska. valued at $25,00O,OOO. The
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS syndicate has an op
ton on these claims, and the content on o
the brief is that if the President allow.
them to So to patent the advantage from
their development will 90 straight into thc
pockets of the Morgan-Gusee
The Pinchots in their brief EXPIRE The
fear that the President may avoid respon.
sibility by turning the Cunningham lain
over to court
mo transfer Of the Cunningham claim.
to court for decision upon the records
they declare, would relieve the Executi,
Department of responsibility"
The Pinchots declare that the duty Of
the Executive with regard to the Cum
bingham claims is obvious and immediate =
that in their judgment the record "abun-
dainty proves that the claims are illegal
and that the claimants have conspired to
defraud the Government. No resort to
court or hearing in the case is necessary to
secure justice and protect the people s
property. The case against the claims is
Tha oln u
Cancelled by the President forthwith"
Whether Congress or Secretary Ballinger
will take action to break up the monopoly
which the Pinchots declare is holding Alas
ka at a standstill is another question which
the brief brings up. The Pinchots say
that the prompt development of the Alaska
coal fields is Of great Importance, but that
to-day defective coal land laws make Alas
ka forbidden land to the coal operators. "
They say that late census figures show
that in the last 10 years the population of
Alaska has increased only one and FIVE
tenths per cent. They attribute this to the
fact that for years the industries of Alaska
have been largely in the hands of greet
ana oppressive monopoly, the Guggenheim
syndicate, which has kept out other capital
throttled competition and held Alaska at
a standstill in spite of its vast wealth in
minerals. water powers and fisheries"
They say that capital should be encour-
aged to develop the Alaska coal fields for
the benefit Of the people but this result
can only be accomplished by the passage
in Congress of reasonable and practical
laws for the disposal Of the coal fields in
the interest Of the people" Until this is
done, the Pinchots declare. the present law
should be enforced and the peoples pro-
perty protected. They say II was to pre-
vent just such monopoly as the Cunning
ham claimants are seeking that the exist
ing coal land law was made. They de-
clare that the Cunningham claimants have
violated this law by fraudulent conspiracy
TO acquire more public coal lands than the
law allows. They quote records to show
that the Cunningham claimants never in
tended to operate their claims individually.
that the claimants never took any interest
in their individual claims which the Cum
ninghams are trying to secure from the
Government still hold good.

COMMITTEE DECIDES ON PLAN.

NOm MA nm OhCIDbo Wv IbdH.
AS result of many days of work on the
part Of members Of the House Committee
on the Census, method Of re-apportion-
ment, which will keep the membership Of
the House down to 432, has finally been
evolved. Under the bill, as finally pre-
pared, the House Of Representatives will
consist of 432 members until Arizona and
New Mexico are admitted, when the num-
Der will be 435.
Prof. Walter F. Wilcox former chief stat
istician of the census and now professor
of economy and statistics at Cornell Uni
versity, suggested to the committee plan
whereby A new members would be added
Under this plan, not single State would
lose single member. The plan of Census
Director Durapd provided for an addition
of 40 members AS against this plan the
Wilcox suggestion was favored.
Both plans, however, were used by the
committee in drafting the bill that will be
favorably reported to the House. The
members of the census committee favor
raising the number Of members in the
House. rather than increasing the ratio
of representation so that certain States
would lose members.
The reason for this attitude is that seven
Of the States that would be affected by an
increased ratio are represented on the
committee. These members are Crum-
packer. of Indiana; Burleigh, Of Maine
Langley. of Kentucky; Slemp and Hay Of
Virginia Murphy and Hamln, of Missouri
Morehead and Goodwin, of North Carolina,
and Patterson. Of South Carolina. Under
the bill as now framed the South aims
ten members, counting Oklahoma as a
Southern State. The North gains Thirty
one. The gains are divided as follows
In the South Alabama, Flor ds, i;
Georgia. 1 Louisiana, / f; 0klahome 3
Texas, 2; West Virginia, 1.
In the North-California 8 Colorado,

PUBLISH THE PENSION ROLLS.

In connection with the crusade to purge
the Government pension list, recently I'M
dertaken by the Worlds Work, pertinent
and valuable suggestion is made by the
Charleston News and Courier, which says
Men fight for glory, not for pelf Would it
not be fine thing for Congress to order the
publication of the pension rolls Wouldn't
it be fine thing for gallant old soldiers to
have the names of all the takers and
grafters erased from the lists? In fact,
wouldn't it be cheaper for the Government
to pay dollar day to every veteran de-
serving of it than to continue paying small
er sums to an army of those who never
joined in battle, never fought at all and
never drew cent Of pay from the Gov
eminent as soldiers on active duty, although
they have drawn sums monthly ever since
the war in the shape of pensions By all
means publish the pension lists"
There are today on the Government PEN
sion rolls the names of 946,194 persons
drawing an annuity from the Government
Most of these pensions are paid on account
