' He said it was a vast undertaking
to drive the special Interests out ot
politics. There were two remedies.
The first was honesty in public men;
.the second, complete publicity. He
concluded: '
"The special interests must be put

Mr. Garfield talked on the "Ultl

his address was more fiery and even
more denunciatory than Plnchot's.

down by himself and Pinchot might
be construed as the formal announce

of the Roosevelt policies.

votes of a number of Western Sena
tors who regard it as bad or Ill-advised
legislation. These Senators will

it as the best present solution of a
perplexing problem. Obnoxious as
they declare the bill to be, they are
of the opinion that it is less obnoxious
than results that would follow should
the bill .be defeated. Moreover, the
bill is to be forced to carry througft

that In Itself will win it a number ot
Western votes.

Taft Opens Big Tract
PORTLAND. The President has
signed a proclamation eliminating
203,635 acres from the Wallowa Na
tional forest, Oregon. The elimina
tion Is the result of a careful exam
ination made by the United States
Department of Agriculture during the
past Summer, which disclosed the
fact that the areas now eliminated
were either open grass land with
very little timber or timbered areas
so largely alienated that further ad
ministration by the Forest Service
was considered . Impracticable. The
lands released are not needed for
watershed protection, a4 ere not
considered to be chiefly valuable for
National forest purposes. The unap
propriated portions of the areas elim
inated by this proclamation will be
restored to settlement and entry af
ter, having been advertised in the
local papers by the Secretary of the
Interior.
