‘hese buils were as tollows: ‘To in- 
crease the Signal Corps, to reor- 
ganize the Corps of Dental Surgeons, 
tu increase the Judge-Advocate (420- 
eral S Department, to add over bU0 
olcers tu the army, to add 42 ot- 
heers to the General Stan, to in- 
crease the Quartermaster’s Depart- 
ment. ‘l'e minority report sald: 
‘** 1f this bil to lucrease the engin- 
eer’s corps at this time becomes a 
law, the increase that will necessar- 
ily follow im all the other branches 
of tue Military service will entail 
more than $2,UUU,UUU increase in the 
pay ot ottivers alone 1n the military 
establishinent, for there are Dow lu 
the Hugineers Corps 188 oitficers and 
2UZ civuian engineers who do work 
on the rivers and harbors.’’ 
The report said that 1t it were the 
plan to put army officers on irriga- 
tion worx, the minority was opposed 
to that 1dea, as the adaltional cost of 
displacing young Civil engineers by 
higuly paid army oificers would add 
to the cost of the land to poor set- 
tlers who in the end must meet the 
cost of construction. 
It seems probable now that before 
the imvesiigating committee. snall 
have given its report on the Bal- 
linger-ripchot case. to the public, 1n- 
terest nm the matter will nave died 
Out almost completely. ‘Lhe public, 
With ibe ald of Dumerous Moulders 
Of puvilg Opinion throughout the 
country, has already pronounced its 
verdict. ‘Lhat: part of the public 
which has decided that Ballinger has 
been unjustly accused is Just as sin- 
cere 2nu firm in its convictions as 
that other portion of the public which 
is tirmiy convinced that Ballinger is 
untit lor publhe office and ougnt in 
decency to resign trom the service. 
As for the committee which seemed 
through hearings to be as badly di- 
vided on the subject as the public 
itself, there is no present prospect of 
its announcing a decision. Chairman 
Nelson, when asked about it a few 
days ago, replied that he was utterly 
unable to say when the findings of 
the committee would be made public. 
He was equally unable to surmise 
what the findings would be, and 
while he admitted that he would hke 
to give expression to a few thoughts 
upon the subject, he said that he felt 
it necessary to restrain himself until 
after the committee had given its 
findings to the public. Senator Nel- 
son has been quoted as saying that 
the Territory of Alaska needed the 
development more than conservation, 
or words to that effect.
