SOUTH DAKOTANS
IN STORMY DISPUTE
VERY STORMY SESSION HELD OVER PRO.
POSED CONSOLIDATION OF LAND
OFFICES.

Washington. Feb. ga stormy
dispute developed yesterday at a
hearing in the office of Walter T..
Fisher, secretary of the interior.
Senator Coe |. Crawford of South
Dakota and his colleagues, Senator
R. J. Gamble, Representatives Eb-
en- w. Martin and Charles H.
Burke were the participants. Mr..
Crawford made charges against
Messrs. Gamble, Burke and Mart
in that aroused bitter feeling.
The dispute arose over a recon-
mendation made by Senator Gam
Bile that the Chamberlain and
Gregory land districts be consolid-
ated and that the headquarters Of
the new district be located at Cart
er, S. d. Mr.. Crawford charged
that Senator Gamble was acting in
the interests Of the North Western
railroad.
The controversy between Mr..
Crawford, on the other hand, and
Messrs. Gamble, Burke and Mart
in, is said to have grown out OF
the recent election of Dean Sterl-l
ing as successor to Senator Gam
Bile. Crawford charged that his
colleagues attempted to defeat
Sterling, despite the fact that Sterl-
ing was the choice in the primary.

bonds, $4,000 of the proceeds to go
to working capital.
"The paper has always been
friendly to our interests, and should
we aid Mr.. Human, a speciality will
be made of the sugar tariff, and our
business will receive particular atten-
ton all along the line. 1t certainly
seems to me it would be good bust
ness for our people to make this in
vestment and thereby establish an or
gan in the middle west which will
give our industry the attention it de-
serves"
The Inter-Ocean incident is espe-
cially interesting in showing how the
invisible government goes about con-
trolling the policy of newspapers that
are paid for betraying their readers.
The general plan is to take bonds
and let the fellow who runs the paper
keep the stock and make it valuable
if he can. The ownership of the
bonds, and hence a first mortgage,
gives the interests enough control
over the publisher to dictate policy.
This is the plan Morgan worked in
controlling New York newspapers
that played his game.
It did not appear in the correspond
ence that the deal was made or that
the sugar interests bought the bonds,
or helped Human out.
Other letters showed that heads of
the beet sugar industry appealed to
heads of the railroads to help them in
their fight. against free sugar. An
other indication of the reciprocity of
the big interests in their attempts to
control legislation.
The most important thing in this
entire investigation is the exposure of
the lobby methods to influence pub
lie opinion through friendly" news
papers. President Wilson knew what
he was about when he made the
