THE OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1909. SAYS IDAHDWANTS FOREST RESERVES Wilson Joins Issue With Hey burn on Extension of Present Limits. TESTS OPINION OF STATE rinds Sherpmn and Cattlemen Are Eager to Hare Graxing Land in Pinchot's Care Xo Farm Land in ' Reserve. ORDCrOVIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, on. 5. If statements made by the Bcretary of Agriculture are to be relied upon. Senator Heyburn is clear out of touch with public sentiment In Idaho, bo far an the subject of forest reserves Is concerned. It has been the. Senator" contention for yeara that the people of Idaho had had too manv re serves thrust upon them and were clam oring for the elimination of much land that la now under the Jurisdiction of For ests Glfford Plnchot. According; to Sec retary Wilson, the overwhelming senti ment In Idar.o Is favorable to retaining 1 reserve all land that is now there and adding much grazing and timber land that Is today unreserved. Either Mr. Wilson or Mr Heyburn Is mistaken. While the opinions' of the two men radically differ. Mr. Wilson will not vol untarily press the Issue, for. as he la eonlcaliy ask. "What's the user He means, of course, that even If he Is right and the people want the reserves enlarged, enlargement can only come through an act of Congress, and the FVeretary ! frank enough to concede that Mr. Heyburn can prevent the en actment of any such legislation. "One man can block any legislation. If I should recommend it."- he says, and he also admits that he would expect Mr. Heyburn to object if any more were made looking to Increasing the reserve area cf Idaho. Wilson Feels Idaho Pulae. During tha past Summer Mr. Wlteon lias had agents of the Forest Service at work In every western state gathering data on which he and Mr. Plnchot can determine where a-d what. If any land ought to be eliminated from forest re serves. Incidentally, these men are gathering data to show where and what land. In their opinion, should be added to existing reserves, and where abeolute ly new reserves should be created. Mr. Wilson went personally Into Idaho thla Summer because Mr. Heyburn has been the leader of the fight' on the Forest Service and has raised more violent objection to forest reserves than any other man In Congress. According to statements made In the Senate over and over again by Mr. Heyburn, the people of Idaho are very generally dis pleased with the extent to which reserves have been erected and equally displeased with the manner In which they are being administered. While I was in Idaho," said Mr. Wil eon. "I made It a point to get in touch with the people Interested In the forest reserve question and found them over whelmingly in favor of what we haite done and are doing. Eight men out of nine thct I met approved of the reserves, and expressed satisfaction with the way they are being administered. There was no material protest of any character. "When I talked with the people, partic ularly the sheep men and cattle men. and suggested that we might eliminate graz ing land from the reserves If public senti ment were favorable to such a change, a howl of protest went up. Not only did they ask that grazing lands now in re serves be allowed to remain, but they Wrongly urged that we include other grazing lands that are today open range. I told the people It was not In our power to add new lands to the reserves; that that must now be done by Congress." In support of his own observations. Mr. "Wlteon Is having data collected during the Summer by forest rangers and su pervisors, not only In Idaho but in all other Western states and territories. He wants, he says, to find out how the peo ple feel; whether they want to Increase or diminish the forest reserve area; whether they want grazing land in re eerves to remain urder the administra tion of the Forest Sen-Ice or restored to the public domain. If he finds sentiment in other states as he found It In Idaho, he will not recommend the elimination of vast areas new In reserves. Mr. Wilson said it was a matter of In difference to his department whether grazing lands be allowed to remain In forest reserves or whether they be eliminated. That question he was per fectly willing Congress should settle as it saw fit. If Congress decided It best to take out the grazing areas, his de partment would be relieved of much work now imposed upon it. but If those areas are to remain, the Forest Pen-ice will cheerfully continue to administer them along lines heretofore laid down. And so far as his observations went In Idaho, there was no substantial com plaint about either the charge Imposed for use of the range or the manner In which the reserve range had been ap portioned. Farm Land in Reserves. Mr. Wilson was asked whether, as a result of -hU Investigation this Summer, agricultural land in forest resen-es would be ellmlnited. "There -are no agricul tural lands In the forest reserves in Idaho." he replied. "Those lunde which aro not timbered are grazing lands, pure and simple. In some Instances, perhaps, a settler could make a living on 160 acres of such land, but it would be hard work. The Ihnds are properly classified aa grazing lands." This statement, like others he made. 13 a flat contradiction of the contentions of Mr. Heyburn. As to whether or not there are agricul tural lands In the reserves of other states. Mr. WlUon was not prepared to say In advance of the receipt of reports that are to be made to him this Fall. Neither was he prepared to say whether or rot he would recommend the elimina tion of agricultural lands where found. That would all depend upon the reports and findings of the forestry employees who. under his direction, have been making investigations this Summer. Esrly in the spason. however, before he went West. Mr. W ilson gave assurance to a number of Western Senators and Congressmen that he would recommend the elimination of agricultural lands wherever they were found in material bodies. His latest utterance evidences a change of heart. While Mr. Wilson declined to be drawn Into criticism of any Western Senators or Repress ntatlveB, he Indicated plainly that In his judgment public opinion would rot sustain those men who have been making a fight on 'the Forvst Service, because of Its handlir.g of either g.-azing or of timber propositions In forest re serves.

Is a good man and will make a good Mayor, but I am sorry that Tammany Is to be allowed to use his good name as a cloak for another raid upon this pillaged city.

AND FOUR CLASSMATES WHO Price Fine $45 Mahogany Bed $r SONS RIGHT REV. F. S. SPATJLDING .WILL LECTURE THURSDAT. Episcopal Prelate of Utah Is Avowed Believer in Marxian Doctrines as Economic Solntion. The Right Reverend Franklin S. Spauldlng. bishop of Utah, will give an address on Socialism at 208 1-2 Stark street Thursday night. The talk will be unique In that Bishop Spauldlng himself is a Socialist and will speak on Socialism as applied to Christianity, and the work that can be done for Christianity through Social Ism. Bishop Spauldlng has been the guest of Bishop Scaddlng for a short time and Is now touring the Coast In the interests of the Utah missionary work. "Indeed, I am a Socialist," stated the Bishop. "Why not? Aren't you? I am a Marxian Socialist, and I'm a Social ist In every sense of the word. Just why and to what extent I will tell n my lecture Thursday evening. Under our present individualistic system of government we reach the wealthy and refined and take care of them but So cialism reaches the masses. I think It has a great message eventually to give to the world. "Christianity would get along better under Socialism than under this indi vidualistic form of government. Now by this I do not mean to infer that the Episcopal Church Is preaching Social ism, as we do not mix politics with re ligion. I am a Socialist as a man. Just as you may be a Republican or a Demo crat, and it Is such that I endeavor to help the cause of Socialism. "I did not come here primarily to give a talk on Socialism, but Portland Socialists, learning of my presence, and knowing that I was a Socialist, in vited me to speak and I accepted. I really came to talk and work in the In terests of the missionary work being done in the Interior. As Bishop of Utah, I am in charge of the missionary work In that state, and my work carries me among the Indians, where we have several missions; into the mining camps, where the element is decidedly rough; into the desert and among the Mormons, whom we are try ing in a kindly way to teach a religion which of course we believe is founded to a greater degree on truth than theirs. "Now these missions are not sup ported by a wealthy surrounding com munity, and it Is my purpose in coming to the Coast to interest the church peo ple here In our missionary work and to secure funds for our work. That is what brings me. The Socialistic talk is but incidental." Bishop Spauldlng left yesterday af ternoon for Salem and Corvallis, where he will lecture,- then he will return to Portland, speak here to the Socialists on Thursday evening, will deliver a sermon at St. David's Church on Sun- UIRTZ BISH0PT11S SOCIALIST ELECTROPO&ES a.
