SENATE BLOCKS REFORMS
Radical Legislation Keqalres Time
for Consideration President'
Commission' Starts Work
December 1. '
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Aug. 25 The National Conser
vation Commission, appointed by the
president to study all manner of prob
; leme rearing on the preservation and
utilization of the natural resources of
the United States, is to make a report
!on January 1, 1909. It is extremely
doubtful if any important legislation,
.based on the findings of the commis
sion, will be enacted at the coming
session of Congress. This is particu
larly true in the matter of public land,
but also true with regard to forest and
mineral resources. A short session is
a very bad time to force through lm
. portant legislation, particularly if It
. be of a radical character, for the 11m
! lted time available for consideration
; enables a determined opposition to
j prevent action. Many of the retom
imendatlons of the commission will on
Idoubtedly call for radical legislation.
! Hence the Improbability that anything
of great consequence will be accom
jpllshed In Congress.
Data From Many Sources.
The commission, as a body, will not
(assemble until Tuesday. December 1.
j but In the Interim all manner of data
! Is being collected by individual mem
j bers of the commission and by Gov
ernment officials detailed to the work.
I The General Land Office and Geologl
Ical Survey are preparing data on the
I land question; the Forest Service, in
i co-operation with other bureaus. Is
. formulating data on the forest re
' sources, and the Geological Survey and
' Land Office are assembling facts Bear
ing on minerals. In addition to In
formation gleaned from official
sources, data are being prepared by
state commissions appointed by Gov
ernors who attended the White House
conference last May, and by state
geologists, etc., familiar with the
topics assigned to the commission for
investigation.
When the commission -meets In Wash
ington on December 1. all data that have
been gathered on the various subjects
will be presented, together with a synop
sis, and it is the Intention to have sev
eral days of general discussion as to pub
lic land, forests, minerals, water-power,
farm development, etc As the members
of the commission are, for the most part,
unable to devote an entire month to this
work. It Is the understanding that sub
committees will be appotnted to consider
the various topics, and each subcommittee
will go over and analyze the data as
signed to It, drawing its own conclusions
and framing such recommendations as It
deems proper. The reports of the sub
committees will then be brought before
the full commission late In December,
when the reports will be considered and
approved, or modified, so as to make one
composite report to the President.
Whether the commission wtll merely an
alyze the situation, point out opportuni
ties for improvement and approve such
policies as are found wise, or whether It
will go further and make specific recom
mendations In the way of needed legis
lation will be determined by the commis
sion Itself when It meets. A report com
bining findings and recommendations
would be much more Influential than on
containing merely finding, but circum
stances may be such that the commission
win not feel Justified In going beyond a
report on Its observations.
Admittedly the most Important subject
to be dealt with by .the commission Is
that of public land. That many of the
land laws are obsolete that others are
vicious, and still others Impractical, Is
generally admitted. But all this was
brought out by a previous commission
appointed by the President the Public
Lands Commission, now oeruncu imi
commission devoted two years to a study
of the public land system, and made a
most exhaustive report. In which it rec
ommended radical changes in the public
land laws. That report was sent to Con
gress, strongly Indorsed by the President.
But It failed to Influence legislation. None
of the Important recommendations of the
commission were carried out. The ques
tion naturally arises. Will the recom
mendations of the National Conservation
Commission have greater weight with
Congress?
So far as the public land question is
concerned the situation is just this:
The Senate committee on public lands
Is about evenly divided on questions
of reform, but since Senator Hans
brough was relieved of the chairman
ship, of this committee the chances for
favorable reports have Improved, for
he has been succeeded by Senator Nel
son, of Minnesota, a believer in cer
tain land law reform and a man who
lights for what he wants. The danger
lies in the open Senate, where there
are a number of Senators determined
to prevent any material modification
of the land laws. Half a dozen such
Senators could defeat legislation in
the short session.
Way Blocked In House.
In the House land law- reform could
be passed If it could get through the
public lands committee. But that com
mittee, particularly Its chairman, Mr.
Mondell, of Wyoming, Is dead set
against the more Important changes
urged by the President and likely to
be recommended by the Commission,
and unleses White House pressure Is
brought to bear that committee could
and would probably prevent reform
land legislation going before the
House next Winter. For several years
the President has urgently recom
mended modification of the land laws,
and the House committee on public
lands has been the chief obstacle In
his path. Up to the present time the
President's recommendations have
been 'Ignored. As Mr. Roosevelt is
about to. retire from office, he will
have Jess Influence with Congress next
session than he has had in the past.
Unless the President should go to the
extent of summoning obstructing Sen
ators and Representatives to the White
House, showing them the "big stick"
and talking to them "like a Dutch
uncle." It is extremely doubtful if
there will be any action on the report
of .the commission next session the
public lands feature at least. The
probabilities are that the findings of
this commission will be very similar
to the findings of the old Public Lands
Commission, for the same ground is
being covered, and much the same
data being used.
Forests and Minerals.
As far as the forestry question Is
concerned, radical changes In policy are
not likely to be recommended. In the
main the policy as now In force meets
the approval of those designated to
pass upon this subject, and any for
estry legislation that may be recom
mended will probably be of unimpor
tant character.
On the other hand the question of
control and disposal of trtlneral lands
will be Important, and what has been
said of the land question generally will
apply to mineral lands as well. If any
Important mineral legislation Is enact
ed next session as a result of the com
mission's report, it will probably be
the final passage of the bill passed by
the House last session, creating a Bu
reau of Mines.
The question of control and use of the
public range comes under the general head
of land, and there Is no likelihood of the
enactment of a National leasing law or
the revival of the 640-acre dry homestead
proposition.
The time will come when Congress will
pass a National drainage act. which will
enable the General Government to reclaim
swamp land on the same basis as it Is
now reclaiming arid land, though by dif
ferent methods. A National drainage law
will probably be recommended, but It can
not be passed next session, even though
the Commission favors it.
Water Power Monopoly.
It is the belief of the administration
that something should be done by the
National Government to prevent a monop
oly of water powers throughout the coun
try. Corporations have already . gained
control of many of these valuable con
cessions, but such as remain on the pub
lic domain have been held back through
the application of the forest reservation
law. Just how to control these water
powers In the Interest of the general
public Is one of the vital problems put
up to the Commission. But whatever rec
ommendation is made will be opposed in
Congress, and the subject will probably
have to go over for the next Congress
to consider.
And so it goes through the whole list
of subjects being studied. All are impor
tant, all call for legislative action, and
It Is conceded that the subjects are of too
great Importance to be acted upon by
Congress without careful consideration.
In a short session little time Is available,
except for the consideration of appropria
tion bills, which must be passed. To give
proper attention to the subjects covered
by the report of the National Conserva
tion Commission, Congress would have to
remain in session at least until July 1,
but the law decrees that the next session
shall adjourn on March 4. Therefore the
enactment of comprehensive laws for the
conservation of all natural resources will
have to be postponed until the 61st Congress.

Fifty years ago there was no announce

Ridgeley, which is to be reproduced at
the 1908 Minnesota State Fair, in ceieora
tion of the fiftieth anniversary of the
state. The coming of the Sioux will be
fraught with deep historic significance
from the fact that the last Invasion of the
Sioux was the massacre of 1862, when 800
men, women and children of Minnesota
were murdered.
There" are many residents in Minnesota
who remember this terrible massacre,
which was caused by a discontent among
the Indians by the failure of the Govern
ment to meet its annual payment to the
different tribes, according to the treaty of
1851, coupled with the leaving of many
of the male residents of the state to fight
In the Union army.
IDENTIFIES STOLEN BILL
Marked In Fitzgerald's Handwrit
ing, Says Government Expert.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25. Captain Thomas
I. Porter, of the Government Secret
Service, last night revealed that he had
Identified as the handwriting of George
W. Fitzgerald the notation "173 M." on
a 110,000 bank note that wae sent to
the subtreasury by the Commercial Na
tional Bank. All trace of the note is
lost, but the officials are certain It was
the top bill of a package of $173,000,
for the alleged theft of which Fitzger
ald was arrested, and that it estab
lishes that the stolen money is being
circulated In Chicago.
Fitzgerald admits he may have writ
ten the notation, but says It was a com
mon practice to do so on the top bills
of large bundles of money, and It ex
plains nothing as to who is circulating
the stolen' money.
CREMATED IN HIS- HOTEL
Prominent Business Man Burned to
Death at Tesla, Cal.
TESLA. Cal., Aug. 25. A fire
which broke out in the Tesla
Hotel late last night caused -the
loss of one life and the destruc
tion of much property before it
was extinguished. Ernest Cerf, of San
Francisco, manager of the Tesla Coal
Company's store, was asleep in the
hotel at the time, and was burned to
death before help reached him.
The hotel and several adjoining
buildings. Including the coal company's
store, a saloon and a few small resi
dences, were burned. The loss will not
exceed 7500.
Very Attractive Linen.
A new and very attractive linen is
used by art embroiderers. It Is in bas
ket weave, which presents the effect
of big squares of loose thread. This
material, when made up into sofa
cushions, is embroidered practically
solid with French embroidery ribbon,
and the result Is more beautiful than
words .can express. Half the cushion,
for instance, from corner to corner, is
worked in solid pink, while on this
daisies are arranged with artistic car
nations. On the other' the background
of the pillow is made in white, while
pink primroses form the most attracj
tive decoration.
There Is no finish around the edge
of these pillows save the seam, for the
embroidery is so beautiful that It re
quires no further decoration. Former
ly, when using embroidery ribbon, it
was necessary to select some , loosely
woven material which was very often
ugly. Crln, for Instance, was the easi
est to use for the purpose, or linen
canvas. Now, however,- with this new
linen for sale, there is no further need
to use unattractive or rough materials.
