Leasing the Coal Lands.

Secretary of the Interior Walter L..
Fisher recently returned from a visit
to British Columbia and Alaska and
announced himself an advocate of
leasing the government coal lands. He
found in British Columbia a law on
the subject that he would make the
working model for a law covering the
Alaskan situation. OF this law he
said that sit retains the land in the
hands of the government, it affords a
permanent return and prevents the
exhaustion of the land in a few years,
but, most important of all, it prevents
the boarding of the land and the sub
sequent undevelopment by capitalists"
Secretary Fisher also announced
that President Taft approved his views
on the Alaskan situation generally,
which would imply that the president
favored the leasing of the coal lands.
If this is correct it promises a way
out of at least a part of the Alaskan
middle. There are many good points
about the plan, and it will probably
be approved by both sides in the con-
troyersy, OF, rather. will be approved
by all except those capitalists who
wish to grab the rich coal resources of
Alaska. The only pity is that this
proposition was not put forward be-
fore the Cunningham claims were filed.
Had it been a large mount OF scan.
dial might haze been avoided. But it
lands are gone. BY prompt and vigor.
GUS action these can still be preserved
to the American people.

Moral Of the Austin Flood.

After a majority Of the great disas-
tiers there is an effort to shift respon-
sibility. In the burning of the excur
sion steamer Slocum the owners and
inspectors finally succeeded in making
4 goat Of the captain, and this old
nan was sem to the ~penitentiary. In
a now almost forgotten wreck on the
New York Central the engineer had to
bear the blame. This habit Of passing
the buck has already started in the
case Of the Austin flood. The en-
gineer finds the owners at fault, and
the owners show a disposition to re-
turn the compliment. If there were
some poor workingman who could be
made the scapegoat he probably would
be offered up, but it is rather difficult
to make one workman responsible for
the breaking of a great dam.
There are many points in the Aus
tin catastrophe similar to those of the
Johnstown flood more than twenty
years earlier. In both cases the peo.
pie living below the dam had been
afraid of it and had complained Of
the danger. In both negligence was
shown. the Johnstown wasteway hav-
ing been INSTRUCTED by a bridge and
by co%ntrivances to hold the fish and
the Austin dam having been built four
feet higher, although it had started
to crack once before. The very day
the water filled up these extra four
feet the dam broke.
The moral of both disasters would
seem to be that there must be rigid
state inspection of dams, just as there
is Of other agencies thai endanger
human life The destruction of hun
dreds of lives and Of millions Of dol
lars worth Of property is too great a
price to pay for cupidity or careless
ness.

The Economy Board.

At last there is a practical movement
on foot to introduce Il business system
in the departments at Washington and
to save at least Il part of the money
that is wasted through the present
archaic methods. A commission is in
vestigating the matter and. it is said.
will report by Dec. !, so that the pres
ident a embody the substance of it's
report in his messages to the regular
session of congress-.
1t is also intimated that the impor-
tant feature of the commissions find
ings will be a recommendation that
we change u present method Of hit
thing similar to the British budget.
Under the h%aphazard plan now in
vogue a half dozen or more commit
tees in congress usually have a hand
in the appropriation to a single gov
eminent bureau. There is no respon-
sible head and no system.
So slipshod have the methods of ap-
propriating and spending money in the
departments become that as cOnserva-
tive a statesman as former Senator
Aldrich said that he could save the
country $500, 100000 annually by in
PRODUCING business methods in the de-
partments. The most conservative es.
innate made by those familiar with
our present ways Of pouring money
into various ancient ratholes is that al
least $4,000 900 per annum a be
saved, which is no slight sum. even il
good times.

Fire Day.

This is the age Of conservation, and
now there is a demand for conserva-
ton of our buildings and other in1am-
mable material-in other words. fire
prevention. 1t appears that Americans
do not properly protect themselves
from loss by flames. They not only
have money to burn, but other things.
Something over one-quarter Of a bill
lion dollars goes up in smoke annually.
Now, perhaps not all or ever the most
Of this could be prevented. But if we
saved only a measly $1O0,00O,OOO a
year that would be something. One
hundred millions here and n hun
dred millions there would soon amount
to a neat little nest egg. Our careless
methods of pr~otection-or. rather, lack
Of protection-from fire increase our
insurance rates, and the higher pre-
miums come out Of everybOdy's pock-
cts.
To focus public attention on the mat
ter Governor Hadley of Missouri pro.
poses a holiday known as fire proven
ton day. If there is anything that
makes the average American sit up
and take notice it is a holiday. 1t
causes the employer to swear and the
employee to shake hards with himself
and amble forth to the ball game, the
golf links or the old fishing hole.
Anyway, he ambles forth, if it is to
nothing better than a picnic. Were
there a holiday devoted to fire pre-
vention it would make the average
American scratch his head and think
about the matter, if only for five min
utes. By all means let us have fire
prevention day. and while we are
about it let it include not only protec-
ton from the flames, but safeguard
against being fired by the boss.
