LANE GUSTS NEWELL
Continued From Page One

continued From Page One.)
moved from the reclamation SER
vice Frederick H. Newell, known
all over the country as the father
of reclamation. Newell was the
first director appointed after the
passage of the reclamation act of
1902.
One of the causes of the ia
nous Ballinger-Pinchot contro-
versy was the announced purpose
Of Secretary Ballinger to remove
Newell and turn over the recla-
nation service to politics. Bal
fingers complete defeat en-
trenched Newell in his position
and his successful work went for
ward.
When President Wilson was
elected and Lane became secre-
tary of the interior, the conserva-
tionists were more than satisfied.
He was conservationist and
in most matters has continued to
be so. What has happened in the
case of Newell and the reclama-
ton service is therefore difficult
to understand.
The First Step.
Eight months after Secretary
Lane assumed office, he began to
reorganize the reclamation SER
vice. In place of single direc-
tor he substituted commission
of five men. These we're: F. H.
Newell, director; A. p. Davis,
chief engineer, who had been in
the service from the beginning
with Newell; and three western
men who were not either engi-
neers or specialists in irrigation.
One was Will r. King, formerly
justice of the supreme court of
Oregon and who came to the ma
tional capital as rumored
aspirant for several offices; w. A.
Ryan, California politician, for
merly with Lane in the interstate
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-07-06

commerce commission and /. d.
O'Donnell of Montana, banker
and promoter of private irrigation
enterprises.
Thus Newell's authority as
director was really removed. He
became a minority member of a
board whose majority were not
reclamation engineers, but politl-
cal appointees.
AbOlishes Position.
Then came the congressional
action which has overturned the
entire reclamation policy. Oscar
w. Underwood, democratic leader,
ably assisted by James R. Mann,
republican house leader, and
John j. Fitzgerald, appropriations
chairman, put through what is
called the Underwood amend
ment" to the reclamation extern
sion act, providing that hereafter
congress should make all appro-
priations for reclamation work.
The bill Is suspicious enough for
the sole reason that these three
backed 1t. 1t is said that Lane
made no strong fight against 1t.
Four months after the passage
of this legislation, on. Dec. 8,
1914, Newell received short let
ter from Secretary of the Interior
Lane, transferring him to the
position of consulting engineer"
and putting him ON the same basis
as other consulting engineers.
Still later Secretary Lane abol-
ished the office of director of the
reclamation service, "consolidat-
ing the positions of chief engi-
neer and director, with A. p. Da-
Wis as director and chief engineer.
With this action Newell ceased
to hold any position except that
of consulting engineer, and ceased
to exercise any authority over the
policy of the service whatever.
On the Sidewalk.
A letter soon followed from
Secretary Lane informing Newell
that on March 8 his Job as con-
sulting engineer" at a definite
monthly salary, would terminate,
except that IL his advice should
be needed such advice paid for
on a per diem basis.
This left Newell on the side
walk. His activities as a consult
ing officer Of the service may be
judged from the fact that he Is
now earning his living delivering
lectures at the University of Illi-
nois.
Newell has spent his life
in the government service at
comparatively meager sal-
airy.
His was the brain that con-
ceived and carried out the
great reclamation works.
He was the man who was
investigated again and again,
and always came out with .
clean record.
Newell was the first man
In the government service to
conceive the idea OF water
conservation. He was the
man who fnsplrod the engi-
necr1ng forco under him, ~

out that Switzerland, that homespun
democracy whose only desire is for
peace, put 100000 well-armed, we'll
trained citizen soldiers along her from
tiers in forty-eight hours when the first
fame of war blazed up in the European
horizon last year. That feat of de-
fence was accomplished under the wise
provisions of the Swiss law which i'm
poses the duty of universal military
service upon all citizens. Under the
Swiss system it is not necessary to
have an immense, costly standing army,
but citizens generally are trained in
military duty.

1t isn't the size of the gift that
counts, it is the proportion as compared
to means and the spirit that is back
of it. The widow s mite, which was all
she had, outweighed millions from other
sources. Robert Cobb, eolored barber,
who died in st. Johnsbury last week,
was a poor man, but he deserves to be
ranked higher as a public benefactor
than many men with great fortunes. 1t
is rather pathetic to read of the way
that he disposed of his savings, as fol-
lows: 800 to the Sunset home for
aged women; 800 to the Red Men, to
be used for flowers for funerals of
members; 800 to the North Congrega-
tional church; $50 to the ST. Johnsbury
cemetery association. When additional
chapters of the st. Johnsbury history
are written the name of Robert Cobb
ought to be perpetuated in them.
