DETERMINED TO PUSH CONSERV
ATIVE PROGRAM.
INQUIRY WILL NOT DELAY HIM
Quoted as Saying He Will Be Able
to Point to the First Practical
Legislation When Con
gress Adjourns.
Washington. "Acts rather than dec
larations. " President Taft Is reported
in this torso way to have ( U'scrlhcd re
cently to callers his program for the
conservation of natural resources. The
president. It Is stated , has declared
that when the present session of con
gress ends he will bo able to point to
the first practical conservation sta
tues over placed upon the law books
of the nation as an answer to the
criticism which has ben directed to
ward the white house.
Without watting for the Ualllnger-
1'inchot Investigation , Mr Taft soon
will begin the preparation of his
promised special message on conservation
vation , and ho lias recehed assurance
from both houses of congress that
while some trouble may bo expected
In the lower branch , the legislation
which the executive will suggest will
bo made Into law before the spring ad
journment.
The president is represented as tak
ing the position that there Is nothing
In the Ualllnger-Plnchot dispute that
has a bearing on his own legislative
program , and he will proceed regard
less of it.
In the preparation of his special
message , the president will have the
co-operation of Secretary BalHngei
and Senator Nelson of Minnesota
ct.ilrinan of the senate committed on
public lands. It is asserted that in
the constructive work of needed legis
lation , ( he president has had to de
pend almost entirely upon Mr. Ballln-
ger , who has been at work for several
months on the draft of the proposed
statutes that will meet the intricacies
of the vexed problem of practical con
servation and embody the president's
views on this important subject. These
proposed new laws are ready to be
submitted to the committees of the
senate and house along with the spe
cial message , the preparation of
which the president will begin as soon
as he gets the message on the Inter
state and anti-trust laws out of the
way.
way.Unless President Taft abandons a
pretty llrmly fixed intention he will
not wait for tbo conclusion or over
for the beginning of the congression-
nl inquiry into matters connected with
the so-called Balllnger-Plnchot contrt.-
versy before sending to congress hi ?
special message on the conservation of
national resources.
The president Is expected to begin
the preparation of this message as
soon as he has finished the one deal
Ing with proposed amendments to the
interstate commerce and anti-trusl
acts , upon which he Is now engaged.
Furthermoiu , it can be stated that
Mr. Taft is confident that the censer
vatlon legislation which he proposes
will be enacted into law before the
end of the present session of congress
The new statutes which the friends
of the administration declare will be
the tlrst that have ever dealt ado-
< T"-T.tely with the national resources
will be President Tuft's answer to so
much of the criticism as has been dl
reeled against him
Senator Knuto Xelson of Minnesota
chairman of the senate committee on
public lands , is co-operating with the
president in the matter of conscrva
tion laws and has assured him that
there will bo no difficulty in putting
those laws through the senate.
In the house there is likely to bt
some opposition , but the presldon
feels sure it can be overcome and that
the laws will stand approved before
the summer comes.
White house callers who have
talked with President Taft on the sub
ject describe him as believing that he
wil ! best prove his friendship for the
"Roosevelt policies" of conservation
by putting laws on the statute books
that will actually carry those policies
into effect.
The real problem to be solved is how
best to dispose of the public1 lands
containing water power sites , coal and
phosphates. Such lands have beei
withdrawn from entry during the general
oral land laws , but they cannot bo boh
indefinitely and there Is no specific
law governing their ealo or lease.
It is-generally admitted that the resources
sources must bo developed ; that the
coal and phosphate must be taken ou
by private capital and yet there must
at the same time bo safeguards against
monopoly. These are the Intricacies
with whicli congress will have to deal

appointed affinity.
For the University of Missouri ,

working order. It is composed of
half a dozen young women who room
at one of the popular boarding houses
near the campus. Of course , the af
finity idea itself Is old and can't begin
to compare with Uncle Joe Cannon as
a space-getter in the newspapers. But
the young women of the Affinity club
have added several brand-new wrin
kles to the idea.
Each member of the club , as a
requisite of membership , has selected
"What is it , Jake ? " asked Mr. Hunt
"Say , boss , it's this way , " replied
Jako. "I'm Just going out to got n

If the president comes down hero to
talk to us bums and tolls us wo got

Guess his word goes with mo. It wo
are good enough for him to talk to I'm

"That's the way it has been going
all day , " said Mr. Hunt. " 1 never saw
men so deeply stirred. The visit of
the president has put moro ambition
into them than they have ever before
displayed. Just wait and I will show
you. "
Stopping before GO or CO men , all
resplendent in new white collars , Mr.
Hunt said to a man whoso collar
plainly was too tight and who was
proud of his distress : ,
"Como here , Frank. Tell us Just
what you think and what the men are
saying about the president's visit. "
"Wo don't know what to say , " said
the man. "It's Just knocked us clean
out. The boys are clean crazy over It
Why , wo never thought that the llkoa
of the president cared nothing about
us here.
"We're all Democrats , but here Mis
ter Taft comes around and calls us
boys and tells us wo is as good as any

recognition from her affinity. The
penalty for failure is a "tubbing. "
The open season for the affinities
closed at Christmas. If before tha

"Marked attention , " as denned by
the club , means an invitation to dance
or to go to the theater or a request
to call. A stroll on the campus

One young woman appealed to the

had given their testimony. From the
sober looks of several young men and
women on the back benches it looked
as if converts were soon to be gath

the meeting were broken by the
words of the frivolous song.
The pastor had closed his exordium
