Oregonisn: "Government by con sent of the governed," waa the theme of the address before the Conservation Congress at Washington on November 22 by William Hanley of Eastern Ore gon. In aimple but appealing, style Mr. Hanley portrayed tbe hardships that the prevailing conservation policy imposes on bomeseekers In tbe West and pictared vividly the obstacles tb confront any man who in tbia day at tempts to establiah bla borne on tbe public domain.

When this eommitee orgsnited its Eastern members were in fsvor of reiterating the past declsration of the Conserva tion Congress, but Mr. Chsproan de voted the better part of yealeroay tu pointing out to them the bardnhlp that aie wrought by existing lawa and past methois of administration, with the result that the commute brought in a report refusing to indorse psHt recommendstions of this congress on the public land question snd outlin ing a policy that is satisfactory to the West, insofar aa the public lands are concerned. Monopolistic control of wnterpowr in private hands waa denounced, with a declaration that no waterpower righta owned by the publie ever should be removed from putlie ownership.

Declaring that the restrictions of the constitution must govern legiaia live intent, the supreme court has held that tbe workmen s compensation law ia not operative until June 30 of next year. IhiB applies to the insur ance features. Before the middle of next year the employer can contribute to the industrial accident fund but no injured employe can receive benefits therefrom prior to that time. The decision is based on that section of tbe law which saya that employes have until June 30 next, following the taking effect of the act, and inasmuch as tbe act was not effective until approved by the voters on the 4th of November, it is interpreted that June 30, 1914 is as soon as the law will become effective.
