TWO PHASES OF CONSERVATION
How the General Question Might be Divided to
Insure United Support.

IL j. perhaps unfortunate that.
In line with our present day ten
dency against corporations. rather
more attention h often given even
In the neld Of conservation 20 the
question Of preserving resources
from falling into private lands.
than 10 the far more important
problem OF conserving those re-
sources which are threatened with
permanent damage or destruction.
An unnecessary opposition against
CONSERVATION - thereby created
from sides. which rather should
encourage IL.
When the last Congress ad-
Journed several conservation bills
were buried with the mass OF IN
finished business. probably to the
great satisfaction OF many OF our
legislators. A conservation bill IL
a disagreeable matter 10 the pOliti-
clans. With the waste and de-
struction OF 10 much OF our ma
ttonal resources. most OF the
thinking people have awakened to
the immediate necessity of con
serving what little Is left. Elec-
tive conservation legislation Is
thus demanded by the voters
and II IL not wise TO disregard
the wishes Of the voters. as they
more and more acquire the habit
OF remembering on election day
their congressman actions. ON
the other hand. very powerful IN
terests are opposed TO conserva-
IL NnH
business. and 10 pays the legislator
TO listen 10 them.
All the conservation problems
can be divided into two very dis
tinct classes. which are vastly
different in their importance.
though this is not generally real
lied.
First in Importance is the con
servation OF those. our remaining
national resources. which would
be permanently destroyed. could
never be restored. or only by slow
work through generations. Sucn.
for Instance. Is the preservation
OF the forests on the water sheds
OF our rivers. While I'm some
cases the destruction OF the for
ests at the head waters of rivers
does not materially change the
total amount OF water which the
river carries down during the year
this enormously affects the uni
formity of the river flow. and with
the destruction of the forests,
produces periods OF destructive
freshets alternating with periods
or drought. With such rivers as
the Connecticut. the Hudson. etc.
the flow has materially changed
during the last twenty-five years,

with the relation OF private ana

question OF the development OF

national domain.
II Is true. most OF the mines

Is forever lost to the nation. The
progressive idea is more and more
gaining ground. that there Is no
real private property in public
utilities. but that in the nation II
vested the right and the duty or

utilities in the public interest. Be
yond this. the socialistic doctrine
OF direct ownership of public utiI-

that we do not need to fear per
