VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS
TAvENNER "wRITER AND THINKER" GIVES US TIE
FACTS AS THEY REALLY EXIST


Washington. July 20.-Did Presi-
dent Taft throw open Controller oay
under conditions especially designed
to permit the Morgan-Guggenheim in
terest-and no other-to gobble up
this richest of the Alaska land prizes
before any one else could have
chance to file?
This is the big important question
to which the house committee on eX-
penditures in the interior department
is seeking an answer.
If such was not the deliberate plan
of the administration, why were these
lands thrown open by such unusual
procedure-by secret executive or
der instead of by proclamation?
Another query: If there was no
conspiracy between the administration
and the big exploiting interests, how
does ot come that Speculator Ryan,
supposed agent of the Morgan-Gug.
genheims, alone knew of the issuance
of President Tafts secret CD order
and was able to file soldiers scrip
on 100 rods of Controller bay water
front within three days after Presi-
dent Taft signed the order eliminating
| the land from the national forest and
| before any other man could have
known of the order?
Another extraordinary feature of
| the case is this: The invariable rule
had been to give so days notice before
any claimant could file on this land,
| but, accordig to Mr.. bennett of the
General Land Office, when the presi-
dents order first came to him the go
day provision was in it, and when he
next saw the order there was no time
allowed whatever for notice to the
public--not even day,
| That there was actually an under
standing between the administration
and the men who were to profit
| through the presidents amazing Sc
| cret order is not state of affairs so
remarkable as to those who have
been closely following things in
Washington. There have been pre-.
cedents exactly paralleling such a per
formance. When the railroad regula-
tion bill was sent to the last congress
by the president the public was in abb
solute ignorance of it's contents. But
the fact developed later that although
| the president had not seen fit to take
| the public into his confidence. he had
| allowed the railroad interests not only
to suggest the lines along which the
| bill should be framed, and TO load
1t with jokers against the public inter
est. but to actually pass upon and o
X. the bill before the people were
even permitted to know that it's pre-
paration was contemplated.
| Before the investigation into this
| newest Alaska land jugglery is finish
ed it promises to develop condition
of affairs beside which the attempted
theft of Alaska coal lands is inconse
quential.
The probe is In charge of Represen
tative James X. Graham of Illinois
one OF the really big men in the Dem
ocratic house, whose career from the
very first day he entered congress has
stamped him as man above partisan

The Right Spirit.

Pullman citizens are showing the
right spirit in the matter of the agi~
tation for the commission form OF
government. While sentiment is di-
vided on the question, the difference
OF opinion is decidedly friendly, and
the man who argues that the present
t. rm of government is good enough
and the man who advocates the COM
mission plan are both working for
what they consider the best interests
of the city. Whether the com mission
plan is adopted or whether the gov
Comment remains as it is there will
be no friction among the voters, no
dnfriendliness and no "soreheade3-
ness" on the part of the man whose
opinion is not accepted by the major
ity of the people.
