OF
THEORY IS HIT AT
Ccmmissioner Dennett Urges
Need of Coal Property
Legislation.
WEST RETARDED, HE SAYS
Front lairt Present Difficulties In
Opening of New Mine and
Check Competition De
clares Official.
(.REGOX1AS SEWS BUREAU. Wuh-leg-ton.
Jan. IT. Theoretical conserva
tion. Insofar as It nae to do with pub
lie coal lands. Is dealt another blow In
the annual report of Land CommU
loner Dennett. Dlactiaelns the coal
land problem In his report, made pub
lic today. Commissioner Dennett asjrs:
"It Is Imperative that new legisla
tion be passed covering; the disposi
tion of coal lands In Alaska and in the
United States. The Inadequacy of the
present laws Is universally conceded.
This proposition, therefore, needs no
argument. The progress of advance
ment In the West Is being retarded un
der present conditions by the difficulty
In the successful opening of new mines
under legislaUon as it exists today.
Competition has been checked. The
consumer Is having to pay. therefore, a
a-r eater price than it would be reason
able to expert he would have to pay if
It were possible to open new mines un
der legislation which would encourage
the development of this resource.
"Legislation, however, which would
not retain In the United States the
right of supervision over the marketing
of the product, would be a mistake. To
throw this resource open so that the
coal deposits would ultimately pass in
to the hands of monopolies and trusts
would be to render the conditions
worse than they are at present. Con-grea--.
therefore, should carefully guard
the enactment of legislation, and see
to it that the requisite control Is re
tained in the United States, so that a
romb'nation for the purpose of unjust
ly advancing prices can be checked
through Government supervision.
Cheap Price Is Obiect-
The object to be obtained Is the lay
ing of this public necessity in the coal
bins of the ultimate consumer at the
cheapest possible price consonant with
a due adherence to the principles of
conservation.
"The same general theory should
govern the enactment of legislation on
the disposition of lights In water
powers, namely, a guardianship looking
to the supplying of the public needs
at the cheapest rates. There is no de
struction of supply in the use of water
power."
The Commissioner Is of the opinion
that administration would be Improved
if the offices of register and receiver
' of local land offices were consolidated.
On this subject he says:
"The organization of the local land
offices should be changed, and a great
deal of money saved, and better ad
ministration secured, by the abolition
of the positions of register and receiver
and the creation of one position in lieu
of the two.
"This divided responsibility is not a
successful method of management for
any office. Experience haa shown that
there are frequent clashes between the
two officers. The simplest organiza
tion would be the creation of a new of
fice and the placing of one man in
rharge of all the work of the local of
fice, end substituting for the receiver
a bonded clerk. This bonded clerk
could be secured for the work to be
performed at a salary ranging from
1IS0O to 12000 a year; and the difference
between that and the salary now paid
to receivers would amount In saving to
the Government. In round numbers, to
snout $150,000 a year. Better adminis
tration would be secured, and the Gov
ernment would save a considerable sum.
I-ong Trip Necessary.
"At present proofs are taken before
the register and receiver. This necessi
tates In many cases a long trip from
the land to the local office and entails
a large expense upon the applicant,
who has to journey thereto and bring
Ms witnesses to testify In support of
his claim. If this course be not pur
sued, the proof is taken before a United
States Commissioner. It Is respectfully
recommended that a more expeditious
way, and one where there would be
lesa cost to the claimant, would be un
der a system allowing proofs to be
taken upon the land Itself, before a
special agent designated to visit the
land, who should be authorized to col
lect from the claimant a fee. the amount
of which should be based upon the dis
tance of the claim from some given
point within the land district."
A table appended to the report of
Commissioner Iennett. showing the to
tal acreage of lands entered each year
In the respective states from 1904 to
11 ' Inclusive. Indicates that (nnd ac
tivity In Oregon haa been steady for
the past three years, and was grester
In each of those years than any time
since 1904. when h'gh-water mark was
reached, with a total of 1.173.41a acres
entered. In 110 there were 1.050.7:3
seres , entered In Oregon. 41.000 acres
lees than In 1J05 and U.oflO acres more
than 1n 130.
Washington Kntries Decline.
Entry of public lands In the State of
Washington has been steadily declining
since 1J0. when the aggregate area
entered was 3.07 acres. In 110 the
acreage was only i0.7l. as sgalnst
n.s4 In 190.
Idaho, on the other hand, shows a
greater acreage entered In 110 than
in any one previous year. The total
fur the past fiscal year was 1.7(8.010
acres, as against 1. 333.441 in 190s and
1.047.402 in 10S.
Another table made a part of the re
port ahowa the amounta received un
der the timber and stone act In the
various statea from the data of the
puur of that act. June S. 1S7S to
June 30. 1M0. Oregon leads all other
statea. having turned into the Federal
Treasury under this one law 15.017.45.
This represents payments on 15.114
timber and stone entries, embracing 3.
(91.114 acres of timber land.
Washington Is third on the list, with
a total of i.:H.770. representing li.
s;j entries embracing I.OS7.701 acres of
land. In Idaho there have been 7.074
timber and stone entries, covering 54.
