The disposition of the city's gar

for methods adopted by larger cities

CONSERVATIONISTS'
READY FOR CONTEST
Fifth Annual Meeting Here in No;
yember May Cause Clash Between
National and State Followers.

Fierce fighting promises to confront
conservation interests in the near future,
and official Washington is taking deep
interest in the plans for the contest.
There have been intimations OF trouble
for several months. The warfare has
been expected to crop out at any mo-
ment, and IL was no surprise when the
conservation leaders threw down the
gauntlet to their antagonists.
The issue squarely is set forth in the
official call for the Fifth National Con-
rervation Congress, given out yesterday
at the headuarters of the organization.
The sessions OF the congress will be held
in Washington November Is. l9. and 20.
The call comes out openly with the dec
laration that the forests and water
powers of the country are at stake in
the impending conflict. The conservation
interests show themselves prepared to
meet the issue wherever raised, whether
in the Federal Congress or in the legis-
latures of the various States.
Oficials of the Conservation Congress
yesterday admitted that they are con-
cerned over activity in the West in the
interest OF State ownership and control
of the national forests and waterways
and other natural resources So insist
ent is the clamor in some circles that
it is understood that the conservation
interests realize the urgent Importance
OF definite steps to prevent the States
from wrestling the control of these re-
sources from the Federal government.
One of the arguments presented by the
advocates of Federal control is that pri-
vate interests are seeking valuable con-
cessions that cannot be secured from the
United States, and that they hope for
greater success in dealing with the indi-
viduaI States.
The call says: Conservation originated
with forestry. 1t took form through
plans for the protection of the nations
waterways Thees two ideas suggested
the first conservation meeting, the Con-
ference OF Governors at the White House
FIVE years ago. Now, facing the greatest
contest this movement has known-the
fight to save our forests and our water
powers to the people-the congress comes
back to the seat of the. nations govern
ment to hold its meeting this year.
Chief among the objects for which the
National Conservation Congress was ere
ated is to AFFORD an agency through
which the people of the country may
frame policies and principles affecting
the conservation and utilization of their
resources. to be put into effect by their
representatives in state and Federal gov
ernments.' At Washington, therefore, the
action of the congress will have weight
and influence not possible at other places
of meeting"
