OUR WASHINGTON LETTER


 1By Congressnan Clyde IT. Tayennerl
 Washington Oct. 31. So quiet Iy that the public has scarcely rea1izz ed the importance of it, President wilson's administration and the Dem ocratfc Congress have taken another great forward step in carrying into law the policies which have been ad- Vocated by progressives of all parties for half a generation
 The Alaska Coal leasing bill is the first great legislative triumph for the conservatio on movement It has pass ed Congress and it sets a precedent which will probably forever preclude in the future the footing of the pub lie domain by private interests.
 The bill answers the charge of anti conservationists that conservation locks up the public resources. Alas ka,s resources are to be given to the public, but under such conditions as to prevent monopoly or extortion from the people
 For years the conservation Tnove- n1ent has been unable to answer by a concrete example that conservation does not propose to hold the public natural resources out of use. For years it was i1npossi b1e to put any genuine conservation measure through Congress. On the contrary, it took all of the efforts of the conservatien- ists to preventing the footing of the
 
 But with the present enlightened dnainistration and Congress the con-. servationists found the opportunity which they have awaited for so long.
 The Alaska mining bill provides for the leasing of coal lands in par ceIs up to g. 560 acres on a. single lease on an adequate royalty basis. the United States government to re% reiye the royalties. Every pound of coal mined under the provisions of this bill will bring revenue to the Treasury and help to reduce taxation. There are safeguards against monop- lists, fraud in the negotiating o@ leases, or speculation in leases.
 Every town and village in the min ing region is to have ten acres of coal land for a. free domestic supply of coal. At any time the government may go into coal mining, and the bill authorizes the President to reserve one half Of the coal lands of Alaska for government mining. Alaskan mines must be operated with the highest regard for the lives and safe ty of the miners. and the Secretary of the Interior is given full authority to prescribe the mechanical rules of mining He also is empowered to prevents the waste of the coal in the mining.
 The bill ernNodies every feature urg- ed by conservationists for ten years and it contains no provisions which age criticised by conservationists. Sec retary of the Interior Lane. who has long been an ardent conservationist, on the day the coference report on the bill was adopted by Congress is sued a public statement congratuiaf-9
