several lines of similarity . between the
cases of Lorlmer and Roosevelt.
BT HARRY J. BROWN.
OREQONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ing-ton, Oct. 12. Is there a true parallel
between the case of William Lorlmer
and Theodore Roosevelt that Is, be
tween the manner In which Lorlmer
was elected to the Senate and the man.
ner by which Roosevelt was elected to
the Presidency? In light of the facts
thus far brought to light before the
Clapp Investigating- committee, there
appears to be good ground for saying
there is a decided parallel.
Senator Lorlmer owed his 'election,
beyond all question of reasonable
doubt, tq the, improper use of 'money.
It was never . shown just how much
money was spent to elect Lorlmer. It
was never known- where It all came
from, or where It a'll went. Nor was
It positively established by evidence
that It "cost (100,000 to put Lorlmer
over." Going further, it was never
shown by evidence that Lorlmer knew
of the Improper expenditure of money
In his behalf. It was reasonably well
established that It cost something like
9100,000, contributed largely by lum
ber and beef Interests, to bring- about
Lorlmer s election, and when tails ex
posure was made on two successive oc
casions, Lorlmer lost his seat.
Presidential Campalgm More Costly.
Naturally, It' costs more to elect
President than a Senator, and this
true, whether he is properly or improp
erly elected. It cost a goodly sum
run the Roosevelt campaign in 1904,
be exact. 92,100,000, and of- this amoun
J.- Plerpont Morgan . contributed, ac
cording to his own admission, $1S0,000
John D. Archbold, 1100,000; Henry
Frlck. $100,000, and George J. Gould,
9100,000. The total contribution-from
corporations that year . was practically
91,600,000. This Is from direct evidence
thus far undisputed. Lumber and beef
corporations raised 9100,000 to- "put
Lorlmer- over.
- When Colonel Roosevelt was. on th
witness stand before the Clapp commit
tee he said he had learned the day be
fore, for the first time, - that Mr.- Mor
gan,- Mr. Archbold -and -Mr. Gould bad
contributed to his campaign fund. - He
did know of Mr.:- Frlck's contribution.
Taking the Colonel's own statement as
true, he is on all fours with Senator
Lorlmer, who said (and it was not dls
proved) that he did not know of s fund
raised to-bring about his election. Few
believed that statement of Senator Lor
lmer, and the Colonel is asking a great
deal of the American public when He
asks It to believe that he did not know
that Morgan, Archbold and Gould had
contributed to his campaign fund.
Aside from the truth or inaccuracy of
tile statements of the two men, they are
on an equal footing so far as knowl
edge of corporation contributions are
concerned.
Colonel Against Tariff Revision.
It Is pointed out that Senator Lorl
mer, while he'may have been ignorant
of the financial support given him,
voted on the tariff as the lumber and
beef Interests would have him vote.
Never once did he cast a vote on the
tariff that was In any way objection
able to those Interests. It may be
that he would have so voted had they
not contributed to his campaign fund.
It Is . also pointed out that Colonel
Roosevelt, when President, also, showed
consideration for the Interests ' that
contributed so liberally to his cam
palgn fund, as he might have ' done
also had they not contributed. .To
begin with, he refused absolutely to
consent to any revision of the tariff
during his long term In the White
House, though the clamor, for revision
waa as widespread and as' insistent as
when, his successor came into office.
It is true he did have trouble with
the Standard Oil Company and ordered
its prosecution, but his administration
Instituted clvir, not criminal, prosecutions.-
There was.no prosecution, of
the Steel Trust, and, on the contrary,
that corporation, by specifio permis
sion of the then President, was per
mltted to absorb its most formidable
rival, tho Tennessee Coal & Iron Com
pany.
In the panlo of 1907 It was the Mor
gan Interests that got the ear of the
Government and, got noia of large
sums of money . out of the Federal
Treasury to' dispel- tnat panic When
the Bureau of Corporations and De-
Dartment of- Justice sought to prose
cute the Harvester Trust,' that prosecu
tion was stopped by President Koose
volt.
Probabilities Are Equal.
'It is only Just to' say -that Colonel
Roosevelt might have acted In this
Identical manner, had Morgan and
Frlctt. Archbold and Gould not con
trlbuted heavily to hla campaign fund,
but it. is no. more, probable than that
Lorlmer would have voted as he did
In the Senate after two big Interests
bad raised money for his campaign.
The- Lorlmer - Investigating commit
tees were condemned at the time for
their failure: to bring out more posi
tive and .-convincing proof in connec
tion "with" the improper election of the
Illinois Senator, . but that committee
was not nearly so derelict as the Clapp
committee because of Its failure to in
terrogate Colonel Roosevelt extensively
especially upon - those phases of his
testimony bearing on the contributions
from corporations "and his relations
with corporation heads. If any lesser
man than Roosevelt had told that com
mittee, he had no knowledge of con
tributions o $100,000 each from the
biggest financiers of the country, and
if that man had had Roosevelt's repu
tation for running his own campaign
and directing his own affairs, that man
would have been shoved to the wall
and compelled to produce some sort of
proof - that he was In total Ignorance
regarding such highly .important mat
ters. '
- Croea-ExamlnatlOB la Neglected.
. Had any man other than Roosevelt
been on the stand and declared that
he had no knowledge of the Standard
Oil contribution, and followed this with
the statement that on October 27 only

Plncliot Policy Locks lp Stores torn
Unborn Generations, While In

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Oct 12. What Plnchot conser.
vatlon has done for, or rather to Alas
ka Is briefly but impressively told in
the annuel report of the United States
Geological Survey. . Sum-vied up, it la
this: . 1 ,
Alaska,' In 1911, consumed 121,739
tons of coal.
Alaska, In 1911. produced 900 tons of
coal.
Alaska, in 1911, imported 32.255 tona
of coal from the United States.
Alaska, in 1911, Imported 89,579 tona
of coal from British Columbia.
Except that the total consumption
of coal has slowly Increased, this Is
the story of every year since the coal
lands were tied up and development
checked.
It is a well-recognlaed fact that
Alaska, if thrown open, would produce
not only enough coal for all local needs
for hundreds of years to come, but
would have a surplus to supply the
United States Navy and other Govern
ment ships on the Pacific and still other
coal to ship to the States. Now Alas
ka cannot supply Its own coal market,
even. with the coal available, because
every acre of coal land belonging to
the Government has been withdrawn
from entry and cannot under any sys
tem be developed by private enterprise
or otherwise, and, moreover, all pend
ing coal claims are being canceled as
fa&t as- they can be reached, so that
when the Plnchot policy Is fully carried
out, every acre of coal land in Alaska
will be held by the Government.
General development of Alaska Is re
tarded materially .by two causes, the
lack of transportation and the lack of
cheap fuel. Steps are under way to
secure transportation-, but nothing
whatever has been done to supply the
demand for cheap fuel. In consequence
Alaska, that - can 111 afford to pay a
high price for fuel. Is compelled to buy
Its coal in distant markets, pay a high
cost of transportation and, with the
British Columbia coal, pay a royalty as
well, with the result that markets that
could, under any sort of reasonable ad
ministration, get good coal for $6 and
98 a ton, are paying from 915 to 930 a
ton, and all because the local coal Is
locked up. .."
This is conservation according to the
Plnchot idea; it Is reserving the Alas
ka coal for the benefit of generations
yet unborn. It is a trifle hard on the
present generation and It is one of the
big causes why the . development ot
Alaska makes no greater progress.

deliver an address In the lecture hall,
and. exhibitors will have special fea
tures In connection with the state ex
hibits, such as the distribution of
samples of their -products, etc. In the
blograph hall hundreds of feet of new
motion picture tllms and scores of col
ored stereoptical slides will be shown.
These will completely Illustrate life In
the respective states.
Here are the special days set aside
for the states, and In -most cases the
Governors have accepted Invitations to
be present and tell about their agri
cultural, industrial and social condi
tions in their states:
Tuesday. November 12,-- Opening and
