Conservation Department.

Secretary of the Interior Harold L.
Ickes has proposed that the name of the
branch of the Federal Government over
which he presides shall be changed to
Department of Conservation. The
alteration, of course, would involve q
new delineation of the purpose and the
intent of the work to be done, the
advantages to be served and the WAYS
and means to be employed to that end.
In 1849, when the Department of the
Interior was founded. an improved cor
relation Of many different bureaus was
desired. Hitherto, the State Department
had issued copyrights and patents, the
Treasury Department had managed
public lands, the War Department had
administered Indian affairs. What was
wanted was an integration of all those
institutions which had to do with do
mestic matters. But the ideal was only
partially achieved. Even now there is
wasteful duplication Of effort in Wash
ington and elsewhere In the country
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1936-05-06

Government is the exclusively controll-
ing partner in the joint enterprise OF
Capital maintenance and development
and that financial responsibility nat
urally accompanies the exercise OF this
despotic power.
The dificulty is not presented by any
lack of formulas in the fiscal relations
issue. The amended organic act OF 1922
presents an equitable and sound for
mula in providing for the division OF
expenses on a sixty forty basis. Another
Joint committee of Congress, making
study comparable in fairness and thor
oughness with previous Investigations
notably those preceding 1878 and the in
quiry of 1915-16-would doubtless arrive
at sound and just formula. The trouble
is that Congress does not follow the
formula Of its own making; that ad-
mitted prejudice is in some influential
quarters substituted for judicial consid-
Grafton of the basic facts, and that even
such a partial formula as determination
Of the Federal obligation on the basis OF
untaxed realty holdings is twisted to
mean a demand that the National Gov
eminent tax itself, which of course con-
dennis 1t from the outset.
The need in washington is not for new
fiscal formulas, but for the rebirth OF
spirit of fair dealing with the unrepre-
sented people of the District by Con-
gress which exercises the omnipotent,
exclusive power of government.

traceable to the incomplete orientation OF
home" problems in one single center
and under one single directing head.
But measurable efficiency has resulted
from the bringing about of q more init
mate relation between the General Land
ONCE, the ONCE of Education, the Geo.
logical Survey, the Bureau Of Reclama-
ton, the National Park Service, the
Bureau Of Mines, the Soil Erosion Serv-
ice, the Subsistence Homesteads, the Oil
Administration, etc. Mr.. Ickes therefore
proposes to recognize the prevailing
trend. The principal business of a
Secretary of the Interior, he argues,
sooner or later is destined to be that
of preserving the natural resources and
facilities of the Nation.
Indeed, the issue already is definitely
postuiated. The destruction OF Ameri-
can forests, for example, has produced
floods and duststorms which annually
devastate vast areas of valuable territory.
Again, the development of motor traffic
has created demand for more efficient
highway system from coast to coast.
Great public works like the Tennessee
Valley power project are being con-
structed and will have to be managed
in relation to existing properties and
industries. The Civilian Conservation
Corps will perhaps become a permanent
factor in the economy of Federal enter
prise and control. And, in Mr.. Ickes'
Judgment. each of these many under
takings aims at saving public wealth,
promoting public welfare and stimulate
ing public interest in patriotism OF
cooperation and mutually.
Hence change of name, the Secretary
of the Interior believes, would conduce
to something more than a mere correc-
ton of nomenclature. 1t would drama
tie the need for a comprehensive con-
servation policy reaching back into the
humblest private home and up to the
highest Government ofice-a policy OF
thrift and carefulness in all things lead
ing to prosperity constant, general and
democratic in character.

Noting q Difference.
The man who says the things think,
In convincing tone
And in opinion seeks to link
His fortunes with my own,
Who holds an audience enthralled
While all his thoughts are told
He is entitled to be called
A patriot true and bold.
But he who takes another side
From that which I espouse
And calls mankind from far and wide
Their interest to arouse
In talk with which I disagree
Let not his words befog
Your judgment, for plainly see
He is a demagogue.

My Star.


I will find you, my own, though I
travel far,
Guided alone by some faint, sweet star
Whose light, though glimmering high
above,
Seems the very essence of you I love.
And when I find you by starry chart
I will shut you up in my waiting
heart.
For you are mine. though you know
1t not.
Though you dwell perhaps in some
distant spot, 60
When the star follow leads to your
feet
You will know you belong to me. my
sweet;
That you are the love have sought afar,
Forever and ever my guiding star.
