C, June 26. It Is realized here that the cancellation of the Cunningham claims does not mA th. rigm to prevent the Morgan-Guggenheim Alaska syndicate from exercising vircuai control over those ooal fields. Plans already have been laid by con servationists to prevent the executive department- from confirming the Con troller Bay harbor rights as applied for by R. 8. Ryan, who began In 1906 to try to get that harbor for the syndicate, being blocked by Roosevelt. The record shows that as soon as it became evident that the Cunnlnirhem claims might be cancelled, steps were taken to get Controller bay, and the ex ecutive department took such action as would make the syndicate's plans suc cessful. The evidence Is clear that the executive department knew Just whnt its restoration of 12,800 acres on Con troller bay meant and that Its action was solely to let the syndicate get through Controller bay what It knew the syndicate would lose In having the Cun- ningnam claims cancelled. for the Cunnlnglih-ms. swore that he round more than 60,000,000 tons on only a part of the disputed claims; estimates of the value run Into the hundreds of millions.

In general the wnoie conservation policy. In particular the control of smelting and mining were involved in the controversy over the Cunningham coal claims. Immense po litical fortunea were also involved. The following statement Is based upon close observation In Washington for a number of years, a 15 year residence on the Pacific coast, and one year In Alaska and the Klondike. It waa in 197 that the first treasure ship came out of the Klondike, which ties to the public, and Dick Ryan for the Morgan - Guggenhelma promptly filed soldlerr additional scrip on enofgh of It, and the Job of controlling Alaskan transportation was complete. The Cunningham coal clalma? It was not per se those clalma that made the Balllnger-Plnchot controversy epochal. It waa the tremendous principle of con servation conservation of the natural resources for all of the people agalnat the time honored principle of turning over all natural resources to a few men to be exploited for their profit, the people to pay the MIL It was the power of industrial, monopoly and con trol of the money supplies of the na tion, against the nation's effort to maintain independence from domina tion by those powers. Bellinger Put In Power. When the presidential election of 1008 had ended, powerful men on Wall street aaked Mr. Taft not to reappoint Secretary Garfield to the interior de partment, but to appoint R. A. BalUn ger of Seattle, who had been Roose velt's cnmmlflfHnner nf tha rmrmnt lanH nffi.-o Mi- Tmtt i,lM,.l a r.

Illegal in their methods, and that If appointed Bellin ger would reverse the conservation pol lclea of Roosevelt. Mr. Taft said, In effect: "That Is what I want done," and hi lator officially Indorsed the theory that Roosevelt's administration had been il legal In its methods, thereby Indorsing what BalUnger did in reversing the conservation policies within a month from hla talcing charg. of the depart ment. Mr. BalUnger believed In private de velopment of irrigation works and was essentially devoted to that sort of thing; he believed In corporation ac quisition of natural resources; he did, too, what It was known he would do Your Liver is Clogged up That's Way Yoei'ra TirecV-Os f Sort Have Wa Appetite..
