PQUNDMASTER IS ATTAGKED A ERE ST FOLLOWS YOCXG PKIZE FIGHT SATURDAY Forfeit Posted and Defendant Will le Given Trial This Evening. Accused of assaulting and resisting an officer, William Muelllngburg was arrested late Saturday night and re leased yesterday, when his relatives posted a $50 forfeit' His trial will come up this evening in the police court. The arrest followed what Poundmaster Ferris calls a persistent attempt at "mashing." Ferris asserts that the defendant and two other men followed some young girls along Ad ams avenue at a late hour and that Muelllngburg was "turned down" by one of the girls repeatedly. Seeing the proceedings, the poundmaster ac costed the fellow and asked him to stop. A short mincing of words pre ceded a rain of blows in which the Poundmaster was scarred considerab ly. Eventually however, the officer landed Muellingberg In the city Jail, with the results above noted. Muel- 1 In there" did not he1itr nor ?-d't the poundma8ter's authority to make ar rests. I (Continued from Page 1.) sense of public need; and as their ob ject is to escape an efficient control, exercised in the Interest of all the peo ple of the country, they clamor to be put under the state Instead of the na tion. If we are foolish enough to grant their requests, we shall have ourselves to blame when we wake up to find that we have pemitted another privilege to intrench itself and anoth er portion of what should be kept for the public good to be turned over to Individuals for purposes of private en richment. During the last session of congress, bills were introduced to transfer the water power sites in the National forests and the public do main to the control of the states. 1 cannot state too songly my belief that these measures are unwise, and that It would be disastrous to enact them into law. In substance their ef fect would be to free these great spe cial interests over the general welfare and a long backward step own the hill of progress we have of late been climbing. Coal Lands. The same principle applies with pe culiar force to the coal lands and es pecially to the coal lands in Alaska, whose protection and ownership by the federal government is so neces sary, both for full and free Industrial development in the West, and for t"; needs of our fleet In th Pacific. The coal mines should be leased, not sold, and those who mine the coal, shoimt pay back a part of the proHt to the people. - ,, The Neutral Ground. Remember also that many of the men who protest loudly against effec tive national action would be the firs' to turn round and protest against state ac tion, if such action in Its turn became effective, and would then un hesitatingly invoke the taw to f'iovv that the state had no constitutional power to net. As I have said befor-. I am a strong believer in efficient nat ional action, whore such action offo-p the best hope of mining and in tecting the interest of the whole pen pie as against the Interest of a few. Put I am emphatically In favor of state action, where state action will best serve this purpose; and I am no less emphatically In favor of cordial and hearty co-operation between t lu nation and the state where their du ties are Identical or overlap. If there Is one thing which Is more unwise than another, by executive, or by judicial action of a neutral ground In which neither the state nor the na tion has power, and whieh can servo as n place of refuge for the lawless man of great wealth, who ean hire the best legal counsel to advise him how to keen his abiding place equally dis tant from the uncertain frontiers of both state and national power. Like the forest service, the recla mation service has clashed with cer tain private interests, and has hid t- public In the form of bitter opposition 1 from those whose profit It has inter ! fered. The cry has been raised against it that the government must not do for its citizens at a less cost what private Interests are ready to make them pay for at higher prices. Now, I believe fully in the private de velopment of irrigation projects which the government cannot - undertake. There is a large and legitimate field for such work. But the essential thing Is to make homes. From the standpoint of conservation the East has wasted much of its own superb endowment; and as American as a lover of the West, I hope that the west will profit by the East's bitter lesson, and will not repeat the mis takes of the East The East has wast ed its resources, it suffers from the ef fect of the waste, which now puts it at adisadvange compared, to the West and Is sorry. Most of the capital and very many of the men now attempting to monopolize your western resources are from the East. The West should learn the lesson of the East's mis takes and it should remember that conservation in the West will help ths West first and most, and that the movement for conservation is mo3t .earnest and vigorous, and most effec tive in the West and among the West ern men. That is one strong reason why the conservation policy has come to tsay. ' The Forest Serrlce. You progressive stockmen have stood heartilv hv movement, and with you have stood many others throughout the West, to whom large credit Is due, such as the lumbermen' In Washington and Ore gon, the irrigators in California, aifd the supporters of the country life movement in and around Spokane. 1 want to make my acknowledgments in particular to the Colorado Forestry Association, which has supported the forest work of the government with such unselfish zeal. The forest ser vice has enemies because it is effect ive. Some of Its best work has met with the bitterest opposition. For ex ample, it has done a real service by blocking the road against the grab bers of water power and again by standing like a rock against the de mands of bogus mling concerns to exploit the national forests. I have always done my, best to help the gen uine miner. I believe thatone of the first duties of the government Is to encourage honest mining on the pub lic lands. Much of the opposition to the for' service, like much of the opposition lu conservation, takes the for.m f direct mlsrepresentatln. T r example, the cry is often heard that the national forest inclose great areas of agricul tural land which are thus put beyond the reach of settlement. The state ment seems plausible only until facts are known. In the first place, Con gress has specially provided that whatever agricultural land there may be In any national forest, shall be op en, "under proper safeguards, to home stead settlement. And in the second place, when the opponents of conser vation are asked to pointout the great I Ready for as: 8ebt.3th GIH M il! it N ew Laundry ALL OLD EMPLOYEES WANTING WORK PLEASE CALL BEFORE THURSDAY EVENING 1SAY!

I am here at the Invitation of the Colorado Livestock Association, and I desire to express my appreciation ot their steadfast stand for decency and progress in the handling of public lands and national forests. They have met and overcome the unrelenting op position of some of the most influen tial stockmen of the Btate; they have won because they have been right. Whatever system of range control may be adopted in detail, there are two things It mr.st not do. It must not handicap or exejide the small man by requiring him to spend more money for fences than he can afford, and It must leave every acre that can be set tled by bona-fide homesteaders freely open to such settlement.
