gresses. They want all of that the government will allow them. They denounce any effort to prevent this insane policy of unrestricted seizure of the public domain. They attack Pinchotism and they denounce con- servation. They believe that every person should be entitled to grab everything in sight and when there is nothing more in sight that the monopolists could be aided by the government in development.
 This orgy is one too that has very nearly reached the limits of it's ope- ration. The country, backward and retarded by reason of this whole sale seizure of eXploitable resources, is held for speculation and then the people who have aided and abetted this sort of thing wonder why they cannot galvanize the industrial and commercial conditions into some sort of it's pristine health and vigor.

NOW CONSERVATISM.

At the American Mining Congress, one of the delegates characterized the development of the mineral re- sources of the country as an orgy of hasty exploitation.
 That is unjust. It has not been nasty anywhere. It has been slow, deliberate and often unduly conserv- ative. Capital took no desperate chances because capital does not take desperate chances anywhere. It walks with circumspection and ex- ceeding slowness. Many think other wise and for that reason they waste many weary days expecting capital to embark upon the hides of wild cats as they were magic carpets would take their owners anywhere.
 But there has been an orgy. That orgy is not in the exploitation but in the ownership of these resources. There has been an orgy of annexa- tion in connection with all the na- tural resources of the country: the land, the timber, the coal, the mine rals all over the United States.
 There has not been any decent ef- fort made to exploit them. There has been a most indecent effort made to seize, to speculate in, to con- trol for future monopoly. That cer. tainly is the way in every outside state and it is the way that a good many would have it and have had it in Alaska. The instinct to zfat for speculative purposes or for the purpose of monopoly has suffered very little let or hindrance. The en tire country has been staked. Every effort has been made to grab whole creeks and most of these efforts have succeeded. They have even re ceived patents for ground whereor work has not been done and where there never was any intention o mining or of doing anything else bu holding for speculative purposes. Some attempt was made to reme dy this condition in Alaska but il was short lived and did not succeed
 Moreover, this is the orgy that f. never mentioned at Mining Con

The Board of Equalization and the Council later on has been res ponsible for much of the confusion that has arisen. They have been in clined to allow every person who bellyached a bit rebate upon their taxes, and in consequence they pla- ced a premium upon kicking and let the man who accepted things as they were for the good of the city be the sucker and the fall guy.
 If the Board of Equalization is to do things right, it will do them finally. And when the council gets complaints after the session of the Board, it will pass them up as con corning. matter which has as far as the council is concerned been al ready finally adiudicated upon.
 It is up to those who have wrongs to redress to attend the meetings ot the Board If they fail to do so that should be theirs and not the city's loss.
 But it has been just the reverse in the past The man who wanted re- dress attended the Board meetings and was refused, the delinquent tax payer complained to the council and got his rebate. That state of things simply encouraged the tax eyader and the delinquent.
