Western Public Lands
Wa Mutton. Fell. IS. I'lVsi.l -lit
Uno-iiv--'! t : : ! ; i V sc!lt t' ctin:;!V.is a
message caning audition in what he
calls the "urgent need nf -1 : 1 1 inn
iilfoetlng the ilii'i'oront phases of tho
public land situation in the 1'nited
Slates. Ho advocates the conserva-
lion of coal and fuel resources on ;
lands still belonging to t ho govern-
mont, saying that henceforth the na
tion should retain its titlo in Us fuel
resources; urges government control
of Western public lands, with a sys
tem of small grazing fees, etc., and
asks for an appropriation of $r00,
000, immediately available, in addi
tion to the present estimates, to aid
In detecting nnd preventing land
frauds. He contends for a system of
government leases of its mineral
lands, and for treating these fuel
lands as public utilities.
The president points out that It
would be better If some of the East
ern coal lands had been left under
government control, nnd suggests
provisions in the West "against the
recurrence of the conditions we de
plore in the East," citing 200 or 300
cases of public land entdes In four
districts mentioned. Tho president
says that non-compliance with the
law was found In over half of them
and deliberate fraud In very many
cases.
Tho president refers to his previ
ous message to congress on tho sub
ject and calls attention to the Impor
tance of such leglslatlonas would pro
vide for the title and development of
surface land as separate and distinct
from the right to the underlying min
eral fuels In regions where these may
occur, and tho disposal of those min
eral fuels under a lease system on
conditions which would Insure to the
benefit of the public as a whole. He
says he cares little for details, and
that the prime need is that a system
should be established.

GHAPIN BILL
PASSED BOTH
HOUSES TODAY
Salem, Or., Fell. 13. I.nte this af-1
ternoon the forecasts of the wise
acres were fulfilled when the sennto
passed the Chapln railroad commis
sion bill as It came from the house.
The measure gives the appointing
power to a board consisting of the
governor, secretary of state and state
treasurer a divided responsibility
which is just what tho railroad com
panies have been lobbying for, using
Speaker Davey as their tool.
Few friends of railroad rate lcgis
latloa have hopes for any real benefi
cial results from any board that Is
likely to be elected.
The bill now goes to the governor,
whowlIl probably sign It, for the rea-
son that it Is the best measure that
could be put through a balky, rail
road-controlled house.

Salem, Feb. 13. The Oregon leg
islature may do this session what It
has never done before extend the
40-day session another week or two.
The situation is this:
If the house holds a night session
every night until Sunday It will have,
Including today, but 28 working
hours, the sessions being ench day
from 10 a. m. to noon,, from 2 to 5
p. m., and from 8 to 10 p. m. With
only 28 working hours left In which
to pass house bills, the house has
something more than 320 bills to act
on, nearly twice as many as are usu
ally acted on during an entire ses
sion. This menus that during every
working hour from now on till the
end of the week tho house must final
ly pass on nearly 12 bills an hour,
and to date no Ori'gou house ha t evor
made a record of that sort. As many
of the most Important measures of
tho session are s!ill al'.eail of the
house 11 is t li ;;rly i-.n;os.;iiie to ,;tain

Half a dozen leaders of the house,
including Speaker Davey, have been
Interviewed on this question today,
and without exception they can see
no way out unless another week Is
added to tho session.
Hoard Will Appoint.
Portland, February 13. A special
to the Telegram from Salem says:
Before sundown Oregon's legisla
ture will have enacted a railroad
commission law. It will be the Cha
pln bill providing for appointment of
commissioners by the state board be
yond a doubt. -Only tho most sensa
tional and unexpected coup can pre
vent any other, remedy. Whatever
measure Is adopted the governor will
not veto It, that Is almost certain,
but had the Bingham bill, giving
him power to appoint, beci. success
ful, he would have appointed twi9 Re
publicans. A Joint conference Is being held
this afternoon, nnd tho above nctlon
seems certain.

Senator Ilingluim'H Warning.
"I have not taken any part In this
snlnry grab discussion," said Senator
Bingham, of Lano, yeesterday, when
the report of the committee enmo up
In the senate on II. J. II. 11, raising
the salary of members of the legisla
ture from $120 to $tnn, "as 1 had
hoped the matter would be quickly
iiettle.l, and that we might get down
to work.

tion that many largo appropriation
bills hnve been acted on In commit

the report of the committee which
recommended that the salary be fixed
at $300. He said $40G was little
enough If It be considered as a salary.
Ho seemed to think It should stand
'at $3 per day.
On a motion to reconsider the vote

Indefinitely postpone. The vote was
11 to 15. On motion of Beach, and
by the same vote, 1 1 to 15. the $300
was changed to $400.
A motion to refer the matter to the
committee on agriculture wnB lost by
11 to 15. The report was Anally
adoptee by a 15 to 11 vote, and tho
salary grab will stand a good chance
to become a law.
