ALASKA AMENDMENT FAILS Effort to Extend Philippine Land Laws to Friar Holdings Is tn " successful Withdrawals Will Be "Temporary." WASHINGTON, June 15. WJth SS0. 00,000 provided tor the completion of Irrigation projects and various other amendments, the House bill authorizing the withdrawal of public lands by the Iresldent passed the Senate today. Several other amendments were pre sented, but none of Importance was adopted. .monjr the mora important provisions rejected were an amendment by Beveridge specifically withdrawing from entry the coal lands of Alaska and one by Gore bringing the friar lands of the Philippines within the operation of the general land laws of those islands. There was no roll call on the final pas sage of the bill.' Bonds Pass Overwhelmingly, j The bill was taken up soon after the Benate convened and a vote was ordered on the Carter amendment authorizing the Issuance of $30,000,000 worth of certifi cates of indebtedness for irrigation. There was no debate and the amendment was aceepted with practical unanimity. Senators Burton, Galllnger and Kean casting the only negative votes out of a total of 60. Dixon presented an amendment au thorizing the appointment of a con servation commission of 15 and spoke In support of it. Heyburn sought to have the amendment so changed as to provide that all members of the com mission be selected from west of the 100th meridian. He said the East was not interested in conservation and Eastern men were not familiar with the subject. PIncliot Xot Wanted. "In my prophetic mind I see Mr. Glf ford Plnchot at the head of the com mission," he said. "We want no such commission no such masters." He said he was opposed to the com mission on general principles and com plained it was intended to "make places for some people and give the commis sion an air of exclusion and imperial' jower." Galllnger agreed with Heyburn, and said: "If the misfortune overtakes us of having at the head of the commis sion the gentleman mentioned I can see nothing but trouble to come of It." Senators Overman, Clarke of Wyo ming, Lodge and Galllnger opposed the Heyburn amendment as sectional, and It was withdrawn. After further discussion the Dixon amendment was laid on the table. Friar Lands Xot Affected. An amendment by Gore extending' the public land laws of the Philippines to the friar lands was voted, down. 20 to 33. While speaking in support of his amendment, Gore criticized a decision of the Attorney General authorizing the ac qnuisltlon of more of the Philippine lands, saying: "No first-class lawyer other than the Attorney eGneral would have rendered euoh a decision." He declared the tendency seems to be to give the sugar Interests a monopoly of the Philippine Islands. Burton presented an amendment, the effect of which would have been to re strict mining and prospecting rights on withdrawn lands, but it went down In the face of a protest from Smoot. Burton was unsuccessful in an effort to strike out the word "temporary," as de fining the proposed withdrawals. Alaska Coal Discussed. Presenting an' amendment authorizing the withdrawal of coal lands in Alaska and providing for their lease, Beveridge said If the principle included in the amendment had been adopted 50 years ago enough returns would have been In sured to pay off the national debt and pay most of the taxes. Borah charged the policy was to close up Western coal mines In the interests of Eastern miners. He said the leasing system would place the control of the mines in the hands of a few men. Carter declared that coal is now belnfe shipped from West Virginia to Valdez, Alaska, when just a good coal could be had Within gun6hot. "This," he exclaimed, "is not conserva tion; it is waste criminal waste." Beveridge declared that the forests of Michigan had been "ruthlessly slaughter ed to put more money into the already bulging pockets of private owners." He contended the general public should have had some of the benefits of these returns from their own property. Replying to Beveridge. Xelson declared that the leasing provision of the bill had been drawn by someone utterly ignorant of conditions in Alaska. Beveridge replied that the bill was a mere abbreviation of an earlier bill In troduced by Nelson himself. The amend ment was voted down. The bill was then passed. S.
