WASHINGTON. Sept. . The tariff
board will meat In Washington ' on Sep
tember 21 and lay th foundation for the
beginning of a aolentlflo Investigation of
th three moat Important schedule of the
Payna-Aldrloh law.
The now famous schedule "K," th

sharply attacked and strongly defended.

termined. It la understood, however, that
th board hopes to have at least five
ohedules thoroughly scrutinised during
Its first year's work, and It is said such
a plan has President Tart's approval.
A threatened fight on the part of the
late conservation commissioners to place
the name of President Taft In th platform
aa the great friend of conservation did not
materialize on the floor. Under vigorous
use of the gavel It did not even get started.
nd the name of Colonel Roosevelt was
omitted also. Th following were chosen
f fleers:
President Henry Wallace, t)es Moines.
Secretary Thomaa K. Khtpp, Indianapolis.
Treaaurer 1. A. Latchaw, Kansas City.
Glfford Plnchot and J. B. White of Kan-
aaa City declined to be nominated for th
presidency and Mr. Wallace was not
pposed.
The fight for th Insertion of th nam
of President Taft started originally at a
meeting of state conservation commlsslon-
ra. At thla meeting Henry Hardtner of
Louisiana declared that th conservation
principle favored by the convention were
no more those of Roosevelt than of Taft.
He asserted with much heat that th con
gress waa much less a conservation con
greaa than a straight political meeting, th
tendency of which seemed to be to exalt
Mr. Rooacv:t at the expense of President
Taft,
Th state commissioners thereupon voted
to demand that Taft's nam be mentioned.
When this was not done it waa declared
that the fight would be carried to the con
vention at. the night aesalon.
Committee Bar Taft's Name. -
Th committee on resolutions of th Na
tional Conaervation congress was in turmoil,
or verging on It, all day today. Eventually
th committee agreed to recommend to a
night session of the convention a platform
demanding national control of the country's
natural resources.
Th big fight of the commute masting.
which It waa promised would be carried to
the floor of the convention at the night
aeaslon, concerned th mention of th nam
of Theodore Roosevelt aa th originator of
th policies recommended by th committee
and Ignoring that of Prealdent Taft.
Th seaalona of the committee were exe
cutive, but reports of the warfare leaked
out In part. Speeches were made demand
ing that the policies advocated by the con
gress not only were those of Mr. Roosevelt,
but thoae of President Taft, and that the
name of the latter should be specifically
mentioned. This occurred during the after
noon when there were but eighteen mem
bers of th committee present, under the
chairmanship of ex-Qovernor Pardee of
California. The vote to Include the name
of President Taft was lost, S to 10.

A new attack was then made to eliminate
what was said to be an Injustice to the
president, and after three ballots, a motion
to eliminate, the nam of Mr. Roosevelt
also carried.
Mr. Pardee and Frank H, Short, repre
senting California Power companies, en
gaged in a championship battle during th
Ion of th committee on resolutions,
Chairman . Pardee surrendered his chair
and, advancing to Judge Short shooK hla
finger at the latter and said: "You've had
your say about state control. Now let me
aay to you. Judge Short, that If there Is to
be discussion of this question from the
California standpoint, there is one more
man from that golden state who will be
heard. I want to tell you that no roan
even though he be from Fresno, and six
feet tall, can get away with a bluff, and
I'm going to call you."
The former executive rose,' his tall form
towering over th man seated before him.
'Some people who live In California have
orled for state rlghta dishonestly, and I
don't mean that for any gentleman in this
room. Borne have been only fooled, but
I want to say to you that when you give
in to the power of state governments the
right to dispose of its resources, aa ours
have been in California, you give in to the
hands of predatory wealth and great cor
pora dons the natural resource of this
country. Tou see the result of that In Cali
fornia. Greece fell when its resources went
that way. Rome fell when Its resources
mnt that way. The noblemen In the
French revolution said to the common pco
Die: 'Go eat grass," and we In California,
when w protested agtUnst your water com
panlaa grabbing up all our water rights
ware told to 'go eat grass.
Th fight In th committee room started
soon after the subcommittee on water had
made its report ,W. J. McQee of Wash
lnton handed In a majority report, ex
plaining that Jt had been carried by a rote
ot three to two.
Snort Report First.
Th vote on Judge Short' minority re
port on the floor of the convention waa
taken first and lostr-only he and the dele
gate from Montana voting in favor of It
Mr. Kelaey of Wyoming, who had spoken
in favor ot state control, did not answer
to the call.
The other fellow fell down on you,"
laughed ex-Governor Pardee, addressing the
man from Montana.
"I vote aye," the recalcitrant one shouted
and the committee laughed.
The minority report the one favoring fed
eral control waa then submitted and car
ried without a dissenting voice, the two
states' control advocates not voting.
In the course of a vigorous and wildly
applauded speech, Francis J. Heney of Cal
ifornia said In part:
"There are" some evidences that public
opinion In thla country doea not have a
free chance to operate. I need not mention
many instancea to convince you. Ninety
per cent of the people of the United States
were opposed to men being permitted to
make a profit by poisoning a people; they
wanted a pur food law, and yet it was
locked up on the high shelf in congress for
sixteen years until Theodore Roosevelt with
the big stick forced it out. Without aid,
public opinion failed. What public opin
ion failed to do the big atlck accomplished."
HESOLl'TIOXS I'PON CONSERVATION
Dlatlaet Statement la Favor ( Ka.
tlonal Control of Heaoareea.
ST. I VA.CU Sept. . The resolutions, aa
adopted, follow:
The second national conservation con
gress, made up of delegates from all sec
tions and nearly every, state and territory
ot the United States, met at th call of
a great moral Issue now In aesalon aa
aembled at St. Paul, doea hereby adopt
and solemnly declare the following plat
form of opinion and conclusion concerning
the Inherent rights of th people of the
I ntted States:
Heartily accepting the spirit and Intent
of the constitution and adhering to the
trim lple laid down by Washington and
incoln we declare our conviction that wa
live under a government of the people, by
the people, for the people and we repudiate
any and all seclal or local Inlwexta or
platforms or policies In conflict with the
Inherent rights and sovereign will of our
people.
Recognizing the natural resources of our
Country aa the prime baata of property and
opportunity, we hold the rights of the
people In these resources to be natural and
Inherent, and utly inalienable and in
defensible .and we Insist that the resources
should and ahall be developed, used and
nd for power. In
not conaumed, are
commend the modern
ttiat each use of the maters should
be mude with reference to all other uses
for the public welfare la accordance with
tn principle of the greatest good to the
greatest number for the longest time.
Viewing purity of water supply ai
essential to the public health and general
welfare, we urge upon all municipal, state
and federal authotitles and on Individuals
and coi poratlons, requisite action toward
purifying and preventing contamination ot
the waters.
Recognizing the vast economic benefit to
the people of the water power derived
largely from Interstate streams no less
than from navigable rivers, we favor fed
eral control of water power development;
we deny the right of states or federal
government to continue alienating or con
veying water by granting franchisea for the
use thereof In perpetuity and we demand
that the use of water rlghta be permitted
only for limited periods with Just compe-i
aatlon In the Interests of the people.
We demand the maintenance of the fed
eral commission empowered to deal with
all uses of the waters and to co-ordinate
these uses for the public welfare in co
operation with similar commissions or
other agencies maintained bv the states.
Approving the withdrawal of public lands
pending classification and the separation of
surface rights from mineral, forest and
water rights, Including water power sites,
we recommend leglslstlon for the classifica
tion and leasing for grating purposes on
unreserved public lands suitable chiefly for
this purpose, subject to the rights or home
steaders and settlers or the acquisition
thereof under the laws of the United States
and we hold that arid and non-lrrlnahle
public grazing lands should be administered
oy tne government in the Interest of small
stockmen and hoine-aeekera until thav have
passed Into the possession of actual aettlera.
we nom mat the deposits of minerals
underlying, particularly mineral fuela. Iron
ores and phosphate depoalta, should be
leased for limited -Derlods not exceeding
fifty years, but subject to renewal, the
royalty to be adlusted at more frentient
Intervals, such leases to be in amounts to
aucn regulations as to prevent monopoly
and unnecessary waste.
We hold that nhnsnhate Aannalts iiAr-
lying the public lands should be safeguarded
tor tne American people by appropriate
eKiaiuuii ana we recommend tne early
Opening of the Alaskan anri nlhp onal
fields belonging to the neonle nf th TTnltcri
States for commercial purposes on a system
of leasing, national ownership to be re-
lainea.
Other points approved In the platform
were: Drainage of swamp and overflow
lands, development of navigation through
out the rivers and lakes of the country. In
vestigatlon of damage done by the smelt
ing of copper ores and the utilisation of the
by-products In connection with phosphatlc
fertilizers; preservation and better utilisa
tion of the soils by scientific methods; con'
tlnuance of the control of the national for
ests by the federal government and the
settlement of such public lands aa are
more valuable for agriculture; acquirement
of lands not useful for other purposes for
reforestation; recommending more gener
ous support for the forest service and
more efficient fire patrol; repeal of the
timber and stone law; preservation by the
federal government of the southern Appa
lachian and White 'mountain forests; con
servatlon of migratory birds and wild game
animals; Instruction In the public schools
on the fundamental doctrines of conserve
tlon; prevention of child labor and better
protection of child life; Increase of proper
safeguards for the protection of life in
mining and transportation Industries: es
tabllahment of a pubtlb health department
by the national government; the mainte
nance of a national conservation commie
alon and corresponding agenoles by all the
states.
"Nothing," said the platform, In con
clusion, "Is to be construed as questioning
the rights of the states or the people of
the United State guaranteed under the
federal constitution."
