Bellinger, who Is taking a deep 'Interest In the publlo land convention to be held September In Denver, today gave out an at tack on the Government's Alaska policy. He said: "Alaska's Brst and greatest misfor tune waa the establishment of forest reserves. As a matter of wisdom and necessity, there Is oovalld excuse for the existence of these reserves for the conservation of water sheds to pro tect the flow of navigable streams, or to conserve moisture, aa nature re forests these areas without the aid of the "SUvaoulturlst:" nor Is there, because of great precipitation, danger from forest tires. Much of the timber contained within these reserves Is over ripe and should be marketed and used In Alaska for Ita own necessities. "It Is also true that vast areaa now In the reserves were extended, not for the purpose of recovering forests or merchantable timber, but to dominate the country. Including therein large areas available only for mining. The Chugach National Forest aa first established did not cover the Ber ing River coalfields, but was extended In 107 and lsos by proclamations, with no other conceivable puraose ex cept to bring these coal measures within tha domination of the forestry bureau."

TRUST DECISIS SI TD PROTECT Schurman Declares Oil and eTobacco Rulings Mark Business Epoch. HALT ON MONOPOLY SEEN Cornell President Believes Applica tion of Criteria Laid Down by Court Will Bo Guarantee of Fair Play. SEATTLE. July 24. Jacob Bchur man. president of Cornell University, waa entertained at luncheon today by tha Commercial Club of Seattle. Speak ing after tha luncheon, he said: "The declslona of the Bupreme Court In the Standard Oil and tobacco cases mark an epoch. In the organization of business In the United States. The court held. In substance, that enly such reatrlctlons of competition as are nnreasonable are forbidden by the Sherman law. The application of tha criteria laid down by tha Supreme Court ahould be a aufflclent protection to tha public and to business men in the future. They require fair play In competition with rivals and fair prices to tha conaumlng public, and as a con dition of both, the absence of anything like monopoly. Public Is Protected. "I believe that tha decisions of the Supreme Court In these great trust eases furnish honest business, however colossal Its undertakings, a solid ground to stand upon, while at the same tlma they adequately protect both competitors and the consuming public "I have not, therefore, much sym pathy with the policy which the Attorney-General of tha United States outlined a few days ago In a speech. Mr. Wlckersham would have the Fed eral Government regulate corporatlona doing Interstate business, as It now regulates the railways. And he does not draw back. In theory, at least, frem the colossal task of fixing the prices of the commodities they sell to the American people. "Our experience with railway regu lation la still young. And there are two things which differentiate rail ways from business corporations. First, railways are publlo carriers whleh en Joy the right of eminent domain. And, secondly, we have gone Into tha busi ness, of regulating them with the full eonaclousness that the Federal Gov ernment may have to take them over ih.i, nrMAtit nrlvata owners. The experiences of other countries with ex press service ana railway reconcile me to that possible. If re grettable, eventuality. Socialistic Result Been.

Of oourse Mr. Wlckersham does not contemplate any such result.
