IN THE PEOPLE'S INTEREST PINCHOT WILL KEEP UP FIGHT AGAINST MONOPOLIES Water-Power Sites and Coal Deposits In West Will Be Preserved—The Greedy Corporations Will Be Barred from Seizing Them in Future Unequivocally asserting that a monopoly is being formed with the object of obtaining possession of water power sites of the country, Gifford Pinchot, chief of the Bureau of Forestry, who returned last week from an extended inspection of the West, declared in Washington that remedial legislation must be enacted at the coming session of congress if this great natural resource is to be preserved to the people. The problem of how best to prevent the nation's water sites being gobbled up by such combinations, Mr. Pinchot predicted will be one of the biggest issues before congress. The supposed trust is now in the formative state, Mr. Pinchot declared, and prompt action by Congress is necessary to throttle it. Another big problem confronting Congress will be the disposition of vast areas of coal lands in the west, principally in Alaska. It is important that Congress should take prompt action on this important matter Mr. Pinchot said, for the protection of the country's fuel supply and also to prevent a monopoly in that product. Any doubt as to whether Mr. Pinchot would continue to advocate the policies for which he has fought so hard, was set at rest by him. As a result of his western tour, he is as fully determined as ever to continue his policies regarding the conserva- TAFT REASSURES THE PEOPLE Stands Firmly for Roosevelt's Policy of Conservation The country will accept with gratification and without reservation President Taft's assurance of loyal support for the policy of conservation of resources. It is, perhaps, unfortunate that such assurances should have seemed necessary, but the fact is that the president's speeches during his journey appear to have saddled him with a load which he begins to feel. Having started by issuing certificates of good character to Ballinger and Aldrich, and having indorsed the Payne tariff almost without qualification, the impression was gaining ground that Mr. Taft had joined himself to the forces of reaction. In that view, the president's forthright declaration at Spokane will be welcomed, and it can not be characterized as superfluous or classed among the things to be taken for granted. Especially gratifying are Mr. Taft's declarations of policy in relation to water power sites and coal lands. As to the latter Mr. Taft is in agreement with the suggestion made recently in these columns that grantees should pay a royalty on the product to the government. These coal measures constitute a great public trust. They belong to the whole people and should not be given away for the merely nominal price hitherto accepted from patentees. This nation has parted forever with the policy of encouraging exploitation of public property for exploitation sake. The time has gone by when these immensely valuable rights are to be given away to the first comer who will undertake to exploit them for his private profit.

It is important that Congress should take prompt action on this important matter Mr. Pinchot said, for the protection of the country's fuel supply and also to prevent a monopoly in that product. Any doubt as to whether Mr. Pinchot would continue to advocate the policies for which he has fought so hard, was set at rest by him. As a result of his western tour, he is as fully determined as ever to continue his policies regarding the conservation of the country's natural resources and the great natural forest reserves. He declared President Taft is thoroughly imbued with the conservation movement, and that people are more aroused than ever. Mr. Taft, Mr. Pinchot said, has expressed himself in favor of a conservation commission, and added that he (Pinchot) was always in favor of that suggestion. One subject only did Mr. Pinchot decline to discuss. That related to the so-called Ballinger-Pinchot controversy over the conservation question. That he has no intention of relinquishing his position as chief forester as the result of that incident was reiterated when he emphatically declared: "I am not going to resign." After declaring that "there is a water power trust certainly in the process of formation," Mr. Pinchot added: "In my judgment, the tendency to consolidate which is now running through all industrial enterprises, will necessarily lead to the consolidation of the water power interests exactly as it has to consolidation of steel and oil interests. There has got to be legislation on this water power business. President Taft has indicated his intention of asking congress for legislation for governing, as I understand it, the disposal of water power sites on the public domain; so that the whole water power question naturally will be taken up before congress. Are we going to give these power sites in perpetuity is a question with which congress will have to deal." "Is it possible to head off this trust?" Mr. Pinchot was asked. "The government probably cannot prevent the formation of such a monopoly," he replied, "but it can control it. I regard this matter as one of the most important questions with which congress will have to deal." Mr. Pinchot said he never had seen the forests in a more satisfactory con- power sites in perpetuity is a question with which congress will have to deal." "Is it possible to head off this trust?" Mr. Pinchot was asked. "The government probably cannot prevent the formation of such a monopoly," he replied, "but it can control it. I regard this matter as one of the most important questions with which congress will have to deal." Mr. Pinchot said he never had seen the forests in a more satisfactory condition. The personnel of the service is of a high standard and the district plan of organization in operation since December last is in admirable condition. Mr. Pinchot said the recent trip of Secretary Wilson through the West had had an admirable effect on fostering conservation sentiment. "It developed the fact," said he, "that the people in places where the most complaints came from are strongly in favor to conditions in the forests. "Public sentiment is rapidly becoming unanimous in favor of the forest service work. Our receipts from the sale of lumber and from grazing are increasing. There have been fewer fires this year than ever and we have them under the better control." "Have you anything to say on the question of conservation?" Mr. Pinchot was asked. "Yes, I have," he replied. "I wish to announce that I have come back to continue my work in conservation and forestry without changing in either policy." Mr. Pinchot will remain in Washington a few days, when he will go to St. Louis to meet President Taft and accompany him on his river trip to New Orleans. September graphophone Records arrived.

PATTEN BEATEN AT OWN GAME Miller Cleans Up $800,000 In Pit During Frenzled Session Chicago, Sept. 30.—A quiet, mild-mannered man, one who operates largely and boldly, but without a blare of trumpets or a brass band, stepped into the Chicago wheat pit today and abstracted something like $800,000 from the frenzled bulls and bears before the day was done. The quiet, mild-mannered man is Theodore H. Waterman, a millionaire miller of Albany, N.Y., He held the whip hand in the September wheat deal. He ran the price of the cereal from $1.05 5-8 to $1.20 and he took the profits. Incidentally he caused one of the wildest days the wheat pit has experienced in years. At times it was dangerously close to a panic on the floor of the board of trade. Brokers forgot caution, forgot orders, forgot everything, seemingly, except to get into the midst of the crowd of pushing, struggling, fighting men, and increase the turmoil and disorder. Wall Street speculators came once more to Chicago to pick up "a little easy money." Their last excursion into the wheat market—the deal that was closed out today—cost these Wall Street speculators approximately $1,000,000. They got in on the wrong side of the market again. "Wheat King" Patten was one of those numbered on the wrong side of the September deal. His error of judgment cost him about $200,000. But Patten has just made a killing in cotton, and does not mind a little thing like today's bulge in prices. Today was the day on which the September deal had to be closed out. Deliveries had to be made and contracts closed out. September wheat NEW POLITICAL ALIGNMENT Senator Bristow Indicates Latest Movement in Politics Senator Bristow of Kansas, one of the men in Congress who owns himself and is an "insurgent," declares that if President Taft had been as familiar with the lead schedule, the sugar schedule and the cotton schedule as he is with the wool schedule he would have broadened his statement so as to have included these schedules as among those which fail to comply with the Republican pledges of tariff revision downward. And the Kansas Senator further states that the financial and industrial interests which are beneficiaries under the tariff are no respectors of persons but will work along the lines of the least resistance in either party to accomplish their purposes. Senator Bristow declares that Cannon republicans must be defeated to get results. In other words, Senator Bristow recognizes that there is an irresponsible conflict between the "Aldrich automatic O. K. Senators" and Congressmen with the Cannon brand, the representatives of special interests, and the men who stand for the people, who believe in representative government and that the affairs of the country should be administered for the people and not for the special interests. Senator Bristow and other men who discern the signs of the times appreciate the fact that this is not a party difference as between republicans and democrats, because there are serviceable corporation tools in the democratic party as well as in the republican party. The real distinction which the people must make in the future is between the men who represent them and the men who represent special interests. This calls for the defeat of the Aldrich automatic O.

But Patten has just made a killing in cotton, and does not mind a little thing like today's bulge in prices. Today was the day on which the September deal had to be closed out. Deliveries had to be made and contracts closed out. September wheat had been quiet all through the month. There had been but little fluctuation in its price. Consequently, no one was prepared for what happened, and happened so quickly that it took the breath away from more than one operator in the pit. Waterman, who is a well-known figure on the Chicago board of trade, and who has figured in some big deals in the past, had been quietly accumulating a big line of wheat for September delivery. He bought the wheat because he wanted the wheat, He wanted to grind it into flour in his Albany mills. Today Waterman announced he would demand the delivery of the wheat on his September contracts. Then there was a rush. The wheat was not forthcoming. The shorts began to buy feverishly and excitedly. Up and up the price soared. The jumps were sensational. The pit was in a frenzy. Nothing like it had been seen in Chicago in many years. September wheat went up to $1.20, an advance of over 14 cents a bushel in a few hours, and remained up there. Good judges say that 16 cents a bushel will about hit the average of Waterman's gains. The Armour interests—which is J. Ogden Armour—turned a somersault on the September wheat deal and now they probably wish that they had not done so. A big deal in September wheat was started months ago by Armour. On the deal there was an estimated profit for the Armour interests of $1,000,000. It might have been more had Armour hung on until the end of the month.

This calls for the defeat of the Aldrich and Cannon kind of statesmen, and the support of the so-called insurgents, the men who revolt against the rule of the machine, the organization and the special interests. LEGENDS OF THE CHINESE WALL Before resuming our journey I asked the governor of the inn about the Long Wall. He made answer thus: "Chin Shih Hwang without doctrine compelled the people to build it. He walked his horse and examined the boundary. Afterward there was the husband of the Meng Chiang woman. Because he was building the wall he was compelled to die in it. The Meng Chiang woman, weeping for her husband, moved heaven and the earth. The 10,000-li long wall, with one cry, was swept down." In this village, untouched by civilization, ignorant of the camera, where a photograph of a beautiful young lady affrighted the beholders, many interesting legends about the wall were gathered. In brief some of then are follows: China borne triumphantly across the empire on his horse of cloud, stamped thrice every li, and on each crushed spot sprang up a tower. Chin was a broken bad man. The wall was erected in one day, being 80,000 li long. It was ruined when one woman gave a scream, and it collapsed from the sea to Tibet. There were eighteen suns when Chin built; the men were kept working so long that grass had time to grow in the dust which lodged on their heads. The men worked so long that they fell asleep and woke up patriarchs. Chin had mammoth shovels that threw up a li of wall at a scoop; the men were 12 feet tall and broad in proportion; nowadays men are small and could not build the wall. A god looked down from heaven and saw the people being thrown into the wall for not doing the work, so he came down and gave a thread to the workmen, who put it round their interests.

It is a pamphlet that gives one of the most concise statements of California conditions of any publication extant. In addition to a table of statistics showing the value of California's industrial output for the year and other similar information, it devotes each page to a separate subject. The titles of these pages will give an idea of the contents of the book. Beginning with a beautiful waterways map of the state as a frontispiece the titles are: History, Topography, Climate, Soil, Irrigation, Agriculture, Horticulture, Viticulture, Live Stock, Mining, Forestry, Manufacture, Commerce, Finance, Education, City Life, Suburban Life, Health Resorts and a statistical weather table. Each of these subjects is handled in a most graphic manner, giving fact concerning them in a way that is impressive and especially appealing to one who desires concrete knowledge of conditions. The book is one that entertains as well as instructs and is especially adapted to outside circulation. Every Californian has some friends away from the state who ask questions and this book admirably answers all of them so far as the industries are concerned. The book is sold by The California Promotion Committee at ten cents a copy, the exact cost of production, postage prepaid, and is certainly a vast amount of information for so small a sum.
