Features of Conservation Week 



Although no resolutions along those lines were 

 adopted, it seems to have been the sentiment of 

 the conference of governors held on January 19, 

 at Washington, that state control of water power 

 within their borders should be maintained. 



Governor Willson of Kentucky opened up the 

 matter, declaring that there are three distinct 

 owners of power-producing streams, enumerating 

 as follows: the private owner holding riparian 

 rights ; the state controlling water power ; the 

 federal government having control of streams for 

 navigable purposes. Governor Willson declared 

 that water power can be made to pay the ex- 

 pense of the states and that Kentucky alone 

 could maintain the southern states with that 

 source of revenue. 



Governor Quimby of New Plampshire indorsed 

 the new forest reserve bill fathered by Ballinger 

 and Weeks, declaring that conservation in time 

 would yield a profit to all concerned. 



Governor Hughes of New York insisted on 

 state control of water power, private parties 

 merely having the right to lease such power. 

 His views were supported by Governor Weeks 

 of Connecticut. This principle was opposed In 

 the afternoon session by Governor Brooks of 

 Wyoming and Shafroth of Colorado. 



In the evening the governors were dined at the 

 White House by the President. 



At the afternoon session of the National Civic 

 Federation on January 19 a special committee 

 submitted resolutions endorsing conservation of 

 American forests and declaring for uniform state 

 laws on forest taxation and for protection against 

 forest fires. 



The American Forestry Association at the close 

 of its annual meeting reelected President Guild 

 of Massachusetts. 



St.ite control over private lumber cutting was 

 extensively discussed, recent court decisions per- 

 taining to this subject being reviewed. It was 

 pointed out that such control is very limited. 



Forester Carey of New lork recommended abol- 

 ishing the present system of forest taxation. He 

 recommended that lumbermen be consulted rela- 

 tive to local conditions prior to initiating new 

 laws. 



The association endorsed the principle of tax- 

 ing limber separately, the Weeks forestry bill, 

 larger slate and national appropriations for for- 

 estry, and reforestation. It declared in support 

 of Gifford Pinchot and his methods. 



Pinchot earned warm applause when he de- 

 clared that, while no longer connected with the 

 service, he was sure of the work going on as 

 efficiently as ever. He said that forestry has 

 risen above the individual and has reached a 

 point where it is bound to go, and expressed full 

 confidence in Harry S. Graves. 



At the annual banquet of the American For- 

 estry Association held on the evening of Janu- 

 ary 18 President Guild endorsed Harry S. Graves 

 and President Taft's approval of the Weeks bill. 



The feature of the National Civic Federation 



meeting was Gifford Pinchot's speech, which ran 

 in part as follows : 



"The policies now grouped under the name of 

 conservation are of various ages. Some, like 

 forest preservation, have been advocated by 

 Americans for more than 100 years. Some, like 

 the control of water power monopoly in the 

 common interest, are younger than the present 

 century. 



"All of them today are in the valley of de- 

 cision. We have come at last to the point of 

 action, and we must either go forward or fall 

 back. 



"These conservation questions are today the 

 overshadowing problems before the states and 

 before the people. How tbey are settled will af- 

 fect every man now alive and every citizen of 

 this nation as long as it shall endure. 



"Public sentiment is prepared and awake. For 

 the second time a President of the United States 

 has endorsed these principles in a message to • 

 Congress. Most of the recommendations which 

 the recent message contains are well known to 

 the friends of conservation and well approved. 

 If it has omissions or passages with which I 

 disagree, I have no concern with them today. 



"Today the first consideration is this — that the 

 friends of conservation must not be divided. The 

 issues at stake far transcend every personal 

 question. The plain duty of all the friends of 

 conservation is to sink their differences, to unite 

 on essentials, and to demand, with a unanimous 

 voice, that Congress shall act on the President's 

 recommendations, and act wisely and without 

 delay. 



"The President urges that the measures he 

 recommends shall be taken up and disposed of 

 promptly, without awaiting the investigation 

 which has been determined upon. I echo his de- 

 sire. 



"Our duty is clear to look beyond and above 

 all lesser strife in a common effort to reach ob- 

 jects of such transcendent importance to all the ' 

 people. Now is the time for all good men to 

 come to the help of the conservation movement, 

 without regard to party, or prejudice, or any 

 personal consideration whatsoever. The public 

 good comes first." 



C. L. Peck of New Jersey deplored the pres- 

 ent destructive forest taxation and urged that 

 that question be kept apart from politics. 



The National Lumber Manufacturers' Associa- 

 tion strongly endorsed similar views in a set of 

 resolutions which declared that timber should be 

 taxed only as cut, thus inducing conservative 

 methods. 



Similar resolutions were proposed by the Na- 

 tional Conservation Association, they also de- 

 claring in favor of forest fire protection. 



Presiclent McFarland, American Civic Associa- 

 tion, declared that ninety-nine per cent of private 

 timber land is destructively cut. He urged 

 state control of such cuttings in the interests of 

 conservation.
