The Baker Sentinel does not
approve of President Wilson's
policies: neither does it approve
of the legislative measures he
advocates.
When the many things that
have not met the approval of the
Sentinel. but which nevertheless
have succeeded. are taken into
account, the President should
worry.
For instance, the Sentinel did
not approve of Ekalaka as a coun-
ty seat town; however. Ekalaka
became the county seat. 1t did
not approve of the Ekalaka Eagle
as the official county paper, but
the Eagle bears that title. 1t
did not approve Of the paper rail-

years, but why pile up the evi.

Editor Eagle:

dO1lOI
Recently your correspondent
was a visitor at the town of Ba-
ker, and while in conversation
with some of the citizens of that
town regarding the future de-
veIopment of the county my at
tention was called of course to
the coming campaign for the per-
manent location of the county,
seat.
Last fall | listened with inter-
est to the advocates of both of
the towns of Ekalaka and Baker
and the question was submitted
to the voters or the argument as
presented that the majority
should rule.
Mr.. John Oliver, who was one
of the proponents Of Ekalaka,
made the statement that the
thing for the voters of Fallon
County to do was to be sure to
register and vote and when the
vote was counted it could be seen
what the majority wished to do.
and that in all cases he believed
that the American people should
be content to abide by the wish
of the majority, and that in this
question of the county seat the
majority of the voters of Fallon
county should be listened to.
Your writer believes that Mr..
Oliver submitted the whole ques-
ton in a nut shell in that state
ment, and that the same thing
holds good this next election.
The writer would not call your
attention to the above remarks
but for the reason that while in
conversation with a citizen at
Baker recently he informed me
that the proponents of the Baker
movement for county seat ex-
pected to receive aid from the
Milwaukee Railroad al election
time by having that company
ship in from 400 to 500 railroad
laboring men to vote for Baker.
Now it may be that such a
thing could he done. but we dc
not believe that the Milwaukee
Railroad intends to play any such
game of ''Butinsky."
Let us suppose that the citizen
at Baker told me the real truth
about the matter and see what
will be the outcome of such q
movement.
We will suppose that if such
is the true method which Baker
will use in the contest. that il
might be that the county seat
will be permanently located al
Baker.
As a citizen and Il taxpayer
desire to call your attention tt
the condition of things which will
exist in Fallon County if such is
the way Baker is to win:
LIST. It must be a bunch Of
manipulators who would endeavol
to carry out any such movement.
End. If successful in their eff
forts we would then have the
county seat located at a place
where these same manipulators
could grind the faces of every
taxpayer of F'allon County. Dc
we want such a clique to run The
affairs of this new county O,

we must build them a$1O0, 600. on

The work Of the Bureau OF CORPORA
tons, under Herbert Knox Smith, formed
an important part OF the conservation
movement almost from the beginning.
Mr.. Smith was member Of the Inland
Waterways Commission and of the Ma
tional Conservation Commission, and his
bureau prepared material of importance
for the reports Of both. The investlGa-
ton OF standing timber in the United
States by the Bureau OF Corporations
furnished for the first time positive
knowledge OF the facts over nine nun
dred counties in timbered regions were
covered BY the bureau, and the work took
five years The most important facts
ascertained we're that forty years ago
three-fourths OF the standing timber IN
the United States was publicly owned.
while at the date of the report four-ffths
OF the timber in the country was IN pri-
vate hands The concentration of private
ownership had developed to such an
amazing extent that about two hundred
holders owned nearly one-half OF all prl-
vately owned timber i'm the United states
and OF this the three greatest holders
the Southern Pacific Railway. the North
crn Pacific Railway, and the Weyerhaeu-
ser Timber Company. held over 10 per
cent OF this work. Mr.. Smith says:
ut was important. indeed. 20 know the
facts so that We could take proper action
toward saving the timber still left to the

public. But of far more importance was
the light that this history (and the his
tory Of our other resources throws on
tho basic attitude tradition and govern
mental beliefs Of the American people.
The whole standpoint Of the people
toward the proper aim of government,
toward the relation Of property to the
citizen and the relation Of property TO
the government were brought out first by
this conservation work.
The work Of the Bureau OF Corpora
lions as 10 water power was equally
striking. In addition to bringing the con-
centration Of water power control first
prominently to public attention, through
material furnished for my message in my
veto Of the James River dam bill, the
work Of the bureau showed that ten
great interests and their allies held near
" so per cent OF the developed water
power Of the United states. Says Com
missioner Smith: Perhaps the most i'm
portant thing i'm the whole work was its
clear demonstration of the fact that the
only effective place to control water
power in the public interest is at the
power sites. that as TO powers now
owned by the public IL IS absolutely es-
sential that the public shall retain
title. The only way I'm which the
public can get back 10 Itself the margin
OF natural advantage in the water power
site is to rent thst site at rental when,
