natural advantages and such control
by the special interests is impossible

ers of the Senate and House to ad

May Support Withdrawal Bill.
The Administration bill authorizing
the President to withdraw public
lands temporarily will receive the
votes of a number of Western Sena
tors who regard it as bad or Ill-advis
ed legislation. These Senators will
support it solely because they regard
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 througH
the $30,000,000 irrigation bill, and
that In Itself will win It a number of
Western votes.
