"The people Of the West arc not opposed

bitterly opposed 10 the doCtrinare methods

Of forest conservation, for instance, IS APP

who have anything but condemnation for
the methods by which Clifford Pinchot
sought to enforce that policy. FOR instance,
the sale OF ripe. mature timber on the for

that il has become an impossihility for men

Albany, March 21.-The manner In which
the bill of senator Pollock, placing the re-
organization of public service corporations
under tho jurisdiction Of the Public Service
commissions, was passed by the Assembly
to-day shows that the minority leader n.
T.. Smith. is acting i'm perfect accord with
Speaker Merritt in controlling the ma
chinery of that house. The vote on the bill
was % to 90. The Speaker, i'm letting the
bill 20 tn vote, ignored Senate resolu-
tion recalling the bill for amendment
while the minority leader stoutIy argued
for ts passage in It's present form, using
every method possible to exert pressure on
his Democratic colleagues from New York,
who opposed IT,
Mr.. Smith admitted that he did not know
n great deal about the measure, but that
Judge Hale the counsel for the 2d District
Public Service Commission, had just told
him that it ought to pass.
The two Public Service commissions are
at odds on this measure AZ well "a on n

come before the present Legislature. The

measure would allow bankrupt corpora

"Cut ont that Interior motive stuff" re-

When Senator Pollock heard of the ac-
tiOn of the Assembly in paying no atten-
tion to his recall resolution he tried to get
Senator Wagner, the Tammany leader. to
take some action, on the ground that the
Senate had been slighted. 1t is now prob
able that a resolution will be passed by the
Senate recalling the bill from the Gov
ernOr.
IL is Senator POllOck's intention to amend
IL so as to meet the objections OF the 1sN
District commission. The bill provides that
upon all such reorganizations the amount
Of capitalization shall not exceed the face
value Of the property involved" The word

of Appeals to include franchises. Senator
Pollock would change this part OF the bill.
