(Unltod Press LoaBod Wlro.)
Washington, D. C, Dec 8. A now
policy, giving tho federal govern
ment absoluto control over tho
streams, forests and mineral re
sources of tho United States, by tho
creation of an Interstate conserva
tion commission, was advocated by
Governor Chamborlaln, of Orogon, to
dny, In nn nddross boforo tho Joint
conservation congress. Chamber
lain spoko It behalf of the governor!
who aro attending tho congress,
Tho speaker recommdlng' the
abolishing of stato linos In tho rd
mlnlstrntlon of ho national re
sources of tho country, and placing
under fedorul supervision tho nation
entire nntural wraith. Ho called
upon tho governor) from tho East,
North nnd Smith to Join In his policy
nnd promised co-operation on tha
port of tho West.
'Wo probnbly all ngreo upon ono
nolnt,' ho "nld1 "thnt conservation of
our natural resources Is necessary to
the woll-bolng of tho country, tho
protootton of gonorntlons yet unborn
and tho perpetration of our Institu
tions. As to tho means to bo ndopt
od. wo mny dlffor rudlcnlly."
Governor Chamborlaln rovlowoi
tho creation of tho nnttonal conser
vation commission by Prosldont
Iloosovolt, nnd declared that tho
question as to what policy ought to
bo adopted for tho futuro was tho
paramount issuo boforo tho presont
congress.
"Ono of two pollcios must bo adopt
rd In ordor to succocd," ho said, "It
must bo olthor a national or a stato
Iollcy.
"That tho power of congress is mi
prcmo with respect to sod, mines,
forests and streams tributary to nav-
Igablo waterways, thoro can be no
question.'"
Ho then quoted decisions of the
supreme, court of the United States
to show tho extent of tho Jurisdiction
of tho national government ovor
navlgablo waterways.
"If this power and Jurisdiction bo
rocognlzed. may It not bo Insisted
that It Is within tho powors of con
areas' to enact a uniform code, not
only to safeguard the waters, tribu
taries to navigauie waters, nui 10
provide for tho distribution of such
water for boneflclal uso In iho recla
mation of the arid and soml-arld
lands of tho. country?" asked Cham
berlain. "Why may not laws be passod cre
ating an Interatato conservation com
mission, authorizing tho members o
work In connection with tha depart
ments of the government, now ha
Ing Jurisdiction of public lands, for
ests, navigation, reclamation and kin
dred subjects, has making making an
appropriation for the purchaso of do
forested lands In tho Appalachian
range and elsewhere?" ho continued
"Why may not such a comrnlsslun
be given tho power to ox.erclo tho
right of eminent domain In such
cases as might bo necessary, author
ring the ndontlon of wiles for tho
distribution of tho waters of all
treams tributary o navlgablo water
ways, and particularly those which
are Interstate?"
Chamborlaln answered tho various
objections that havo been urged
against national control and pointed
nut numerous Instances of difficulties
Utndant upon the control of nation
al resources Vy tho defendant states.
"I would not for a moment bo un
derstood as claiming that congress
had any purpose to disturb right
which bftYO bn Invested through the
national or statr laws." he said,
nut, on the otrary, I lusht 4hat
uch rlrVi1 would be promoted by the
"ourte here sugge'ted."
