Washington, Jan. 14. The con
servation of natural resources and the
conservation of popular government
are both at stake. The one needs
conservation no less than the other."
This statement epitomizes the for
mal announcement made public last
night by Gifford Pinchot, recently re
moved as chief of the forest service.
The former official declares that the
great moral Ibbuo which now faces
the country Is not the loss of natur
al resources so much ss whether spe
cial Interests or the people shall rule.
Tho statement, In part. Is as follows:
Will Not Qnlt Fight.
"At this time I have no comment
tn makn on recent events. Whether
In or out of the government service,
I propose to stay In the f ght for con
servation ami equal opportunity.
Every movement and measure, from
whatever source, that tends to ad
vance conservation and promote gov
ernment by men for human welfare
I shill try to help.
-"Every movement and measure,
from whatever source, that hinders
conservation and promotes govern
ment by money for profit I Khali en
deavor to oppose.
"The supreme test of -movements
and measures Is the welfare of the
plain people. I am as ready to sup
port the administration when It
moves toward this paramount end as
I nm to oppose It when it moves
away."
Mr. Pinchot expresses his pro
found regret at leaving me toresi
service and pays high tribute to the
' faithfulness and hljh quality of ser
vice rendered by the men with whom
he worked. Out of the work of the
forest service, he declares, grew the
conservation movement.
"Today that movement expresses
one of our deepen natlonnl convic
tions." he continued, "and the princi
ples for which It stands are received
as axiomatic It Is only tho execu
tion of them which remains in doubt.
"The great conference of governors
In the white house In May. 1B0R. led
to the appointment of the national
conservation commission whoso re
port gave us a new conception of the
value of our national resources. It
told us what Is needed for their
prompt and ordorly development and
for rhe'r safety and perpetuation.
"Tew"' her with President Roose
velt's message transmitting Its report,
the recommendations of the commis
sion furnished a complete statement
of the conservation policy, met our
needs squarely and prescribed the
remedy. They Include definite, prac
tical recommendations or the pro
' tection of forests against fire and for
equitable forest taxation.
"The classification of the public
land was strongly urged and princi
ples for Its uso and disposition were
laid down. The necessity for pre
serving the fertility of our soils and
developing their agricultural value
by drainage and otherwise was cov
ered, and particular attention was
given to tho needs of retaining our
nhnRohate lands, then In danger of
obsorptlon by a foreign syndicate.
Endorse Governors' Conference.
Mr. Pinchot traced the recommen
dations of tho conference, applauding
and endorsing them all.
"In a word," he said, "the report of

alve, definite statement for the con

Then he proceeded:
"At this critical period, when the
goal was In sight, enemies of con
servation in congress not only suc
ceeded In preventing an appropriation
with which to pursue the work, but
attempted to forbid its progress by the
Tawncy amendment to the last sundry
civil bill. Thereupon the work ot
the national conservation commission
was stopped.
"The recommendations of the com
mission still wait for action. All wise
men agree that the situation Is sn lo-

more than a mistake It was a delib

"The dangers which confront tho

Mirfaro Rights.
Washington. Jan. 14. President
Taft sent to congress today a message
urging the immediate considerat.on of
conservation legislation without wait
ing for the result of Investigation of
charged against Secretary of the inte
rior Eallinger. Taft states his
proposals are really an epitome of the
recommendations made by Ralllnger
in his annual report, says that the
bills prepared by Ralllnger incorpor
ate his Ideas on what should be done.
Tho message says that the early
idea, of this country w-as to give away
all public lands and states: "There
has developed in recent years a deep
concern in the public mind respecting
the preservation and proper use of
natural resources. The problem is
how to save, how to utilize, how to
conserve and still develop, for no
ane person can contend It is for the
common good to hold nature s b.ess
ngs only for unborn generations.
Among tho most noteworthy reforms
Vitiated by my distinguished pre
decessors were the necessity for pre
serving the public domain from fur
ther despoliation.
4"The president declared that since
Secretary Ralllnger had been In office
withdrawals of waterpower sites had
been made on 103 streams, covering
"!t per cent more streams than was
covered prior to that date. He said
the power of the secretary of the in
terior to make withdrawals of public
lands yas not now either definite or
satisfactory, adding-: "It seems to
me it is the duty of congress now by
a statute to validate tho withdrawals
which have been made by the secre
tary of the interior, and to authorize
the secretary of the interior to with
draw lands pending the submission to
congress of recommendations as to
legislation to meet conditions or
emergencies an they arise."
He recommends that surface and
subsurface rights be separated to al
low the entry under the agricultural
laws of the surface and the retention
by the government of coal or other
mineral deposits beneath the public
lands. He suggests that the mining of
coal be allowed on the royalty basis
requiring a certain amount of devel
opment yearly.
Avoids Mooted Question.
The president says he will not go
Into the discussion of the mooted
question whether water rights on
streams flowing through government
lands belong to the federal or state

opportunity offered of entering a plea
of guilty to the charge of simple lar

paid his fine of $60. Soon after Ely's
case was disposed of Dickens was ar
raigned for the first time. He enter
ed a plea of guilty, waived time for
the passing of sentence and was given
one year in the county jail. The rail

Pari?. Hubert Latham's high flight
recently, when he attained an altitude
of approximately 3,500 feet, or nearly
three-quarters of a mile, has aroused
the greatest enthusiasm among avi
ators, who consider that it pressages
great things for 1910. Latham says
there is no reason why he should not
have mounted still higher.

implicated in Blue Mountain Fraud.
Portland, Jan. 14. Captain S.
Ormsby, former Oregon forest super
intendent, tottering with age and pal
sied with Illness, furnished the only
feature of the Binger Hermann trial
today, whe.n he pleaded plteously for
vindication from the criticisms that
have been heaped upon him during
the past five years because of his con
nection with the Blue Mountain for
est reserve case. During the croaa-.
examination by the defense, he asked
to be allowed to explain away the
charges which have been made
against the honesty of hla reports, .
contending that no matter how many
people went over the lands examine
by him or how many reports were
made, no fault could be found with
his recommendations made to the
general land office because they were y
true. And, he contended, they were
just as honest as they were true.
The Hermann trial is coming to the
last day of its first week without any
direct connection between Hermann
and the other members of the alleg
ed conspiracy being shown. With the
exception of the Meldrum testimony.
which relates conversations between
Hermann and Meldrum, regarding the
proposed reserve, no testimony hae
connected Hermann in any way the
conspiracy. BIG EIGHT BASKETBALL
