Wcitern Development.
After all, development of the
country is the main thing in any ra
tlonal plan of conservation of natural
resources. That was tho permeating
principle of tho plan urged by the
last republican administration. It Is
gratifying now to those who believed
In the sanity of tho principle to note
its adoption by tho present adminis
tration.
Bills have been introduced in
house and senate simultaneously ns
the result of agreements between the
secretary of the interior, represent
ing tho president and tho congres
sional public lands committees, pro
posing to make available for imme
diate development "treasures in coal,
oil, phosphate and potash deposits."
According to administration circles,
these bills provide for the leasing
of public lands under restrictions to
guard against monopoly and to in
sure development."
Now, It Is interesting to note how
even tho very verbiage of this plan
corresponds to the Taft idea so often
advanced during his administration
In his famous conservation speech at
Tacoma September 2, lf09, Presi
dent Taft said in concluding the out
line of his plan;
