National resources of oil, coal and
waterpOwer.
On page AGO appears a letter adj
dressed to Senator La Toilette from
Mr.. Clifford Pinchot as follows:
''My Dear Senator: Your action in
defeating in the senate the coal and
oil land bill reported from conference
in the last days of the session just
closed deserves, and doubtless will re-
ceive, the grateful acknowledgement
of all friends of conservation.
AS president of the National Con-
seTvatiOn Association, l desire to as
sure you of our high appreciation, of
the service thereby rendered to the
people of the United States.
In the name of the Association,
therefore, / take pleasure in thanking
you for your courageous and success
full fight against this bill when it had
progressed so far that to defeat it
seemed almost impossible, as well as
for your READINGS to defeat the water
power bill after the changes made in
it, especially by the conference COM
Inittee, had converted from a good
into an indefenseable measure. In
this expression of thanks, I am sure
all those who recognize the magni-
tude of the public resources as well
as the exceptional difficulty of de-
Tending them in this case will gladly
join.
Very Respectfully,
Clifford PinchOt."

this filibuster by La Toilette not only
defeated this vicious conference Ieas-
ing bill, but also saved the country
One Billion Dollars by defeating APP
preparation bills. The bills defeated,
called for an expenditure of S3,S17,-
49, 30, and were reduced during the
extra session of congress that follow
ed to $2,824, 283, 432, thus saving in
round numbers, One Billion Dollars.
In this great fight by La Toilette
to save the great National resources
of coal and oil and waterpower from
exploitation by great monOpolies, Sen
ator Walsh of Montana was La Fol
lette's most powerful opponent. That
is the official record, his campaign

ing bill passed congress. Senator,

way was now open for the exploita

A bill was introduced comforting

When this bill came into the senat,
there was not a quorum present, so
