Special to the Evening Review.
NEW ORLEANS. La., Oct. 30.
Gilford Plnchot, chief of the United
States Forest Service, was the prtn
ciapl speaker at the openiug here to
day of the Fourth Annual Convention
of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Water
way Association. President Taft will
address the convention tonight.
While here the President Is the
guest of Archbishop Btenk. A grand
parade, in which 500 carriages were
In line, was held this morning.
In his address today Pinchot of-
fered no apologies in behalf of the
Forest Service for not keeping strict
ly within the letter of the law, and
while he did not criticise the limita
tions of the law he pointed out that
it could not advise on such future
actions as the Forest Service felt
compelled to take in line with its
conservation policies. Mr. Pinchot
spoke in part as follows:
Mr. Pinchot said, "The connection
between forestB and rivers is like
that between father and son. No
a forests, no rivers. So a forester may
not De wholly beyond his depth when
he talks about streams. The con
quest of our rivers is one of the larg
est commercial questions now before
us.
"Certain newspapers have said of
late that the Forest Service has gone
beyond the law In carrying out its
work. This assertion has been re
peated so persistently that there Is
danger that It may be believed. The
, friends of conservation must not be
led to think that before the Forest
Service can proceed legally with its
present work nil the hazards and
compromises of new legislation must
be faced.
Fortunately, the charge of illegal
action is absolutely false. The For
est Service has had ample legal au
thority for everything it has done.
Not once since it was created has anv
charge of illegality, despite the most
searching investigations and the bit
terest attack, ever led to reversal or
reproof by either House of Congress
or by any Congressional Committee.
Since the creation of the Forest Ser
vice the expenditure of more than
$11,000,000 has passed successfully

People's Aid Needed.
"President Taft's recent utterances
In favor of conservation have gone
far to increase the public apprecia
tion of Its national importance.
Every public officer responsible for
any part of the conservation of
natural resources Is a trustee of the
public property. If conservation Is
vital to the welfare of this natior ;
now and hereafter, as the President j
has so wisely declared, then few
positions of public trust are so im
portant, and few opportunities for j
constructive work so large. Such :
officers are concerned with the great
est issues' which' have come before
this Nation since the Civil War. They!
may hope to serve the Nation as few j
men ever can. Their care for our
forests, waters, lands and minerals
is often the only thing that stands
between the public good and the
somethlng-for-nothing men, who, like
the daughters of the horse leech, are
forever crying, Give, Give. The In
telligence, Initiative, and steadfast
ness that can withstand the unrelent
ing pressure of the special interests
re worth having, and I am proud
to belong to a service that has given
nroof of all three. But we need the
-ou nter pressure from the people In
heir own interest far more often
han we get It.
"The Forest Service proposed to
tse the tools obey the law made
lty the representatives of the people,
"tut the law cauuot give specific direc
' ions In advance to meet every need
Mid detail of administration. The
'iw cannot make brains nor supply
onscience. Therefore, the Forest
Service proposes also to serve the
eople by the Intelligent and pur
noseful use of the law and every
'awful means at its command for
he public good. And for that In
tention it makes no apology.
Acts I tacked by Taw.
"After the transfer of the Nation
U Forests from the Interior Depart
nent to the Forest Service in 1905,
some things were done that had
lever been done before, such as in
itiating Government control over
water power monopoly In the Na
ional Forests, giving preference to
he public over commercial corpora
ions in the use of the Forests, and
trying to help the small man make a
'ivlng rather than the big man to
make a profit (but always with the
effort to be just to both). Always
mid everywhere we have set the pub
lic welfare above the advantages
of the special intersts.
Bcause It did these things the
Forest Service has made enemies, of
some of whom it is justly proud. It
has been easy for these enemies to
raise the cry of illegality, novelty,
and excess of zeal. But In every in
stance the Service is fortified either
by express statutes, or by decisions
of the Supreme Court and other
courts, of the Secretary of the In
terior, of the Comptroller, or the
in
Roseburg at Harth's Toggery
Attorney-General, or by general prin
ciples of law which are beyond dis
pute. If there is novelty, it consists
simply In the way these statutes,
decisions, aud principles have been
used to protect the public. The law t
officers of the Forest Service have
the Nation for their client, and they
are proud to work as zealously for
the pubHc as they would In private
practice for a fee.
So I think the ghost of Illegality
In the Forest Service may fairly be
laid at rest. But It Is not the only
one which is clouding the issues of i
conservation in the public mind. !
not her misconception 1b that the
friends of conservation are trying to
prevent the development or water
power by private capital. Nothing
could be further from the truth. The
friends of conservation were the first
to call public attention to the enor
mous saving to the Nation which fol- :
lows the substitution of the power
of falling water, which is constantly
renewed, for our coal, which can :
never be renewed. They favor de-
velopmeut by private capital and not
the Government, but they also favor
attaching such reasonable conditions
to the right to develop aa will pro
tect the public and . control water
power monopoly In the public inter
est, while at the Bame time giving to
enterprising capital its full and just
reward. They believe that to grant
rights to water power In perpetuity
Is a wrongful mortgage of the wel
fare of our descendents, and to grant
them without insisting on some re
turn for value received is to rob
ourselves. 1
believe In dividends for the peo
ple as well as taxeB. Fifty years Is
long enough for the certainty of
nrofltable investment in water power.
and to fix on the amount of return
that will be fair to the public and
the corporation Is not Impossible.
What city does not regret some ill-
considered franchise? And why
should not the Nation profit by the
experience of its citizens?
"There la no reason why the
water power Interests should be
given the people's property freely and
forever except that they would llko
to have it. that way. I suspect that
the mere wishes of the special In
terests, although they have been the
mainspring of much public opinion
for many years, has begun to lose
its compelling power. A good way
to begin to regulate corporations
would be to stop them from regulat
ing us.
"The sober fact is that here Is the
Imminent battle ground in the end
loss contest for the rights of the
people. Nothing that can be said or
done will suffice to postpone longer
the active phases or this fight; and
that is why I attach so great im
portance to the attitude or adminis
trative officers in protecting the pub
lic welfare in the enforcement of the
law.
"From time to time a few strong
leaders have tried to unite the peo
ple In the fight of the many for the
equal opportunities to which they are
entitled. But' the people have only
just begun to take this fight In
earnest. They have not realized un
til recently the vital importance and
far-reaching consequences of their
own passive position.
"Now that the fight Is passing Into
an acute stage it is easily seen that
the Bpecial interests have used the
period of public indifference to
maneuver themselves Into a position
of exceeding strength. In the first
place, the Constitutional position of
property In the United States is
stronger than tn any other Nation.
In the second place, it is well under
stood that the influence of the cor
Iorations In our law-making bodies
is usually excessive, not seldom to
the point of defeating the will of
the people steadily and with ease.
In the third case, cases are not un
known In which the special Interests,
not satisfied with making the laws,
have assumed also to Interpret them,
through that worst of evils In the
public body, an unjust judge.
"When an Interest or an enemy is
entrenched In a position rendered
Impregnable against an expected
mode of attack, there Is but one
remedy, to shift the ground and fol
low lines against which no prepara
tion has been made.
"Fortunately for us, the special In
terests, with a blindness which nat
urally follows from their wholly
commercialized point or view, have
railed to see the essential fact In
this great conflict. They do not un
derstand that this Is far more than
an economic question, that In Its es
sence and In every essential charac
teristic It Is a moral question.
"The present economic order, with
its face turned away from equality of
opportunity, involves a bitter moral
wrong, which must be corrected ror
moral reasons and along moral lines
It must be corrected with justness
and firmness, but not bitterly, for
that would be to lower the Nation to
the moral level of the evil which we
have set ourselves to fight.
"This ii the doctrine of the Square
Deal. It contains the germ of indus
trial liberty. Its partisans are the
many, Its opportunities are the few
I am firm In the faith that the great
majority of our people are Square
Dealers.

Late this afternoon Couuty 4
Assessor Calkins' colleagues $
I on the Board of Equalization
$ sustained his valuation of 4
$38,000 per mile ou the South
g ern Pacific right of way and
rolling stock in Douglas couu-
ty. This action ' was - taken
I after replies to Inquiries by
telephone had been received
4 atatlug that assessments of a
similar figure has been sua-
tained by the Boards of Equal!-
zatlon in Jackson. Josephine
4. and Clackamas counties. 4
After a session of two weeks, the
Douglas County Board of Equaliza
tion will close its labora this after
noon or this evening by taking some
action on Assessor Calkins' valuation
of $38,000 per mile on the Southern
Pacific K. K. company's roadbed ana
rolling stock, applying upon the com
pany a 116.16 miles of road in this
county. The board 1b comprised of
Assessor Calkins, County Judge U.
W. Wonacott and County Clerk E. H.
Lenox.
White no authentic Information as
to whether the assessment would be
sustained or reduced was obtainable
this morning, it was certain that
Calkins, at least, would stand for
the $38,000 figure fixed by him. On
part of Wonacott aud Lenox there
appeared to be some disposition to
be guided by the action of equaliza
tion boards in certain other counties
in Western Oregon where assessments
of a similar figure have been levied,
pursuant to a previous agreement
among the assessors, aud thus avoid
possible litigation. From these coun
ties nothing has been heard so far,
hence the delay of the Douglas Coun
ty Board In acting on Assessor
Calkins' figure until the last day of
the vesslon. Marion, the only west
ern Oregon county reporting, has sus
tained Its assessor b valuation of
$32,000 a mile.
The Southern Pacific Company haB
petitioned for an assessment of $20,
000 per mile in thiB county. This
is $10,000 less than they were asses
sed last year.
Calkins colleagues on the Equali
zation Board have upheld his valua
tion of 17.20 per acre upon the
Southern Pacific Company's timber
lands. The company had petitioned
for a reduction to $4 an acre.
Valuations Sustained. ,
The assessments levied by Calkins
upon two other big corporations have
been sustained by Wonacott and
Lenox. One of these Is the Pullman
Car Company, assessed on the South
ern Pacific mileage, at $000 a mile,
an increase of $200 over last year.
This company asked for a valuation
of $180 per mile, basing the petition
on Its returns to the assessor.
The Wells Fargo Express Com
pany Is the other corporation that
registered a vain complaint before
the board. The personal property at
Its agencies in this county was
assessed at $1,505, which the com
puny thought was excessive. The
board didn't think bo. Last year the
express company waB assessed on the
Southern Pacific miteagt, but this
was held by the courts to be illegul.
In eight other Instances the board
upheld the assessor's valuations
against complaining petitions, pre
sented by the following persons:
H. S. Giie & Co., $2,000 on two
cars of prunes.
Stella Smith, $500 on a building
In Rosoburg.
J. C. Fullerton, $750 on household
good.
Geo. E. Houck, $750 on an auto
mobile.
F. L. George, $1,920 on a 320
acre timber claim.
C. W. Goodail, $2,800 on a 320
acre timber claim.
Harriet N. Hodge, $700 on a 320
acre timber claim.
VuluiitionH FUfluced,
The board cancelled the assess-
mcnl on 800 acres of timber upon
petition of the C. A, Smith Timber
Company, because the land Is under
contest. The company also asked
for the cancellation of the assess
ment on 1.080 acres of other timber
land, on the ground that patents had
not yet been received, the claims
having been acquired with scrip,
This petition the board denied
In several other instances the
, board reduced valuations on land
because It was disproportionate with
assessment of neighboring land of
like character or for the reason that
it had been classed us tillable when
in reality It was of non-tillable char
acter and worth proportionately less.
The assessment of $1,000 levied on
W. R. Vinson's sawmill at Coles Val
ley was cancelled because the mill
was subsequently destroyed by fire,
with no insurance to cover the loss.
Here la the list of reductions made in
land valuations:
Annie Kent Richardson, 75 acres,
from $8,200 to $4,700.
W. C. Winston,' 60 acres, from
$6,620 to $5,000.
H. D. May, 70 acres, from $3,500
to $2,600.
Adam Knobel, 10 acres, from $826
to $725.
E. T. Woodruff, 160 acres, from
$6,000 to $3,550,
W. S. Hamilton, timber claim,
from $1,905 to $995.
Grant Edland and Stella Gray, 40
acres, from $6,000 to $4,000.
Increases.
In two Instances the board voted
lucrensea in assessments, and both
were heavy, E. G. Young ft Co.,
bankers, of Oakland, were ralBed
from $22,465 to $28,815. On 80
acres of land belonging to John
Stnndley the valuation was placed at
o.ouu at against the original assess
ment of $3,700.
Three taxpayers represented to the
board that some of their personal
property had been omitted from the
assessment roll. Valuations were
accordingly fixed, as follows: F. M.
nd J. W. Conn. $600; R. A. Wood
ruff, $1,340; O. W. Jones, $625.
