IDEA REVIVED President-elect Open to Conviction, and Duty or People of Public Land States Is to Free Mind of Fallacy. OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 25. The selection of . a Secretary of the Interior Is causing President-elect Wilson more concern than any other problem with which he is at present confronted. This is the report brought back to Washington by various Senators and others who have conferred with Mr. Wilson about Cabi net . appointments and public policy, and on this one point all seem agreed. Moreover, It Is generally conceded that Mr. Wilson is still a long way from de termining who shall succeed Mr.-Fisher in the Cabinet. Some Cabinet officers, it is believed, have been definitely set tled upon, but this one In particular is still much In doubt. Mr. Wilson finds himself between two fires. The West Is pulling every available string to Induce the incom ing President to select a Western man for Secretary of the Interior; the East and the conservationists are protest ing against the appointment of any Westerner, no matter what his stand ing or what his views, and at the same time are clamoring for the appoint ment of an Eastern or Southern man who is an out and out conservationist. In the sense in which that term is gen erally Interpreted. To this latter proposition the West is objecting. Criticism Sore to Follow. It is evident that President Wilson is going to be criticised, no matter who he may select for Secretary of the Interior. If he picks a Western man, the East and the conservationists will pot -only protest, but will begin im mediately an attack upon the new Sec retary: if an Eastern man is named, the West will protest. There seems to be no way of satisfying all concerned; hence the perturbation that exists in the- mind of the President-elect. .. It Is learned from what should be an authentic source that Governor Wil son has been much impressed by the argument presented to him by some of his strict conservation friends that an Eastern man should be placed at the head of the Interior Department. Repeatedly he has been informed that the public land and natural resource problems that come before the Interior Department are of direct concern to the entire country, and that only an Eastern man, without direct Interest In those problems, can pass upon them with an unbiased mind. The argu ment presented by the conservation ists is to the effect that any Western man. no matter what his general be lief, would incline to the Western view point, and in so doing would natur.Uly go contrary to the wishes of those Eastern theorists who believe in- the doctrine of Gifford Pinchot. Eastern Man Not Improbable. While it may -seem Inconsistent to declare that Governor Wilson, in view of his conservation ideas expressed in a recent Chicago -speech, should seem Inclined to the Pinchot view, yet that Is the strong belief of men who are close to the President-elect, and who have talked with him at length re garding the appointment of a Secre tary of the Interior. To many of these men, as he did to Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, Governor Wilson has said that if he should appoint a Western man as Secretary of the Interior It would place his Administration in the attitude of allowing the West to try Its own case", or words to that general effect. In other words, allowing a Western man to decide Western prob lems would, in his judgment, be like allowing a man to decide his own case in court. The truth probably is fully stated when it is said that while Governor Wilson is strongly disposed to appoint as Secretary of Interior some man from an Eastern state a state having no public lands he Is yet open to con viction that such a decision would be wronir. ' This being true. It is up to the Democratic Senators and Repre sentatives from the West to convince Governor Wilson of the fallacy of his oresent idea, and to convince mm that none but a Western man Is competent to handle the public land problems practically. The work of the Interior Department deals almost entirely with the West, and none but Western men re personally familiar with Western conditions and Western problems. It Is safe to predict that governor vvuson will not select a butcher, but a banker, for Secretary of Interior; his Secre tary of War will be a man having knowledge of Army matters; his Sec retary of Agriculture will be a man who has been or still Is a farmer, or else a man who has specialized on farm work: he will not Be a doctor, bo ii will eo through the Cabinet, where spe cial qualifications are required, and where special training is necessary. i it would be no more absurd to pick a butcher for Secretary of the Treasury than to select an .Eastern tneoreticai conservationist for Secretary of the In terior. Conservationists Are Bnr. The West has this to remember: The conservationists are not idle; they are more active than the western men in their anneals to Governor Wilson. They are not scattering their fire. They are concentrating, and they are even now malcins- out as srood a case as possible against every Western man who is be lieved by them to De iavoraDiy re garded by Governor Wilson, notwith standing his predisposition to decide against the West. Governor Norrls, of Montana, has been bitterly and un fairly assailed publicly, aid attacks upon other candidates have been sub mitted In writing to the President-elect. As the Issue Is now snaping up, Uov- ernor Wilson Is facing a challenge from the conservationists, who are assuming to dictate to him in the matter of this one Cabinet office. He has been, in effect, notified that If he selects a Western man for Secretary of Interior, that man and the Wilson Administra tion will be assailed exactly as was the Taft Administration for the appoint ment of R. A. Ballinger as Secretary LATE WEI,I,-KXOWN I.t'MBEB MAN WAS NATIVE OK SA. KRACISCO. i 1 r " VI I lfii)ni ill.il in Mni 1 i It i r Tl li 111 1 1 limilfc . : Italph B- Dyer. ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 25.
