I BY DANTE BARTON WASHINGTON, March 1.—Accord ing to Secretary of the Interior Lane, the United States is BOW in distress ful need of its own natural resources of oil, phosphate and potash. The country has abundant supplies of oil, phosphate and potash on i'ts own pub lic lands. But it cannot get at these vital necessities for the government's own use or for the people's relief from private extortion because the United States senate will not let a decent de velopment and conservation bill for a leasing system become a law. The water powers of the nation as well as its oil and other lands are in this same state. Thanks to the house of representa tives, which has passed fairly good leasing bills guarding the natural re sources remaining in public ownership and thanks to the National Conserva tion association of which Gifford Pin chot is president, the senate has not been able to enact its own audaciously bad bills. It has not been able to hand over the nation's oil and potash and phosphate lands and its water powers to private monopolists. Thanks for this also are due to Secretary of the Navy, Daniels, who fought the oil land sections of the Phelan bill and to President Wilson, who served in formal notice that he would veto the defensible Myers and Shields water power bills if they were passed. But at the command of wealthy privilege grabbers and land monop olists the United States senate refuses to agree to the house'bill and blocks development of natural resources which are national necessities. It in sists on giving away 'by perpetual leases to private corporations the water powers on navigable streams, by the Shields bill, and on the public lands and reservations, by the Myers bill. It wants to give, by the Phelan bill, private concessions in the oil lands including even those reserved for the needs of the navy. It has its humorous as well as sad phases, that, when Secretary Lane has to come with his hat in his hand beg ging the senate please to let the peo ple have some us£ of their own prop erty, he must 'address his letter "to Senator Myers of Montana who has been particularly active against the right legislation and for the wrong legislation. If instead of taking his hat in his hand Secretary Lane will take in his hand the club of public ownership and operation of power plants and of oil wells and potash and phosphate beds on the public domain, he will find a great sentiment in con gress and. throughout the nation to support him. Demand For Public Ownership The action" of the privileged monop olists has stimulated ti^mendously the demand for public ownership and de velopment of the natural resources. This was shown surprisingly the other' TO PROTECT SETTLERS WASHINGTON, March 1.—The house has passed senate hill No. 5S39 which provides punishment for those who make false representation to purchasers of land.

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT Inserted by William E. Culkitr irt behalf of himself. Amount to be paid, $6.00. William E. Culkin Candidate For CITY CONMISSIOHER He asks support fot^ a plWjifcon tfie city council and pledges iKSfielf to the best traditions of municipal gov ernment. He is in' tull sympathy with the law as l^id down in the charter that the legislative power belongs to and should be exercised by the city QDuncil as a whole. No one can be elected by popular vote tp any divi sion of the city government. These divisions are alloted after election by the council. Anyone who seeks know ingly to give the idea that he is run ning for a particular^, division mis leads. He holds that the hardens, of taxa tion should be low so AS not to be oppressive on the homes and at the same time considers that those branches of the city government whose special object is public com fort and enlightenment should be liberally sustained. The municipal plants must be built up and strength ened and all public property held sacred to the public use. His views onvthe liquor question have been set forth flaswhert, day in the vote that was given in the house to Representative Huddleston's proposition to erect publicly owned and operateld power plants at Nigara Falls on ihoj American side, as Canada has already installed public ownership and operation on its side. But the critical period in these oil and water power and phosphate and potash gxnbs is at hand. The very fact that Secretary Lane has empha sized the need of quick development will incite the special interests to new attacks and new deceits against the public rights, prophetic warning of this danger was given by Gifford Pin chot in a bulletin issued by him last month. "It is evident," he said, "that an effort will be made to amend or substitute other, but equally vicious measures for the Shields and Myers bills, and then let the impression go out that had parts of these measures have been eliminated. They will then be offered for passage in the confused rush of the closing hours of congress." The same warning has been offered for the oil land grabs in the Phelar. bill. Look out now for these grabs. With the secretary of the interior demand ing quick legislation as a possible war and preparedness measure, watch for "powerful patriots" to take advantage of public necessities and seek to take over the rest of the public's natural wealth. During the Civil war Lincoln wrote that in time of war the big plunders of the public had their best opportunities and took their biggest handfuls. This is practically a time of war, with public attention distracted, and the big plunderers are particu larly busy. But the war in Europe and the effect on it here are an incentive also to the people to be defensively busy. "I repeat that our natural resources must be retained in national control", wrote Mr. Pinchot in the warning pamphlet, quoted above. "We see now more clearly .than ever that natural re sources are the foundations of ijation al efficiency and defense. The great war has proved definitely that coal, oil, timber, and other resources are as important In jnodern warfare as men and arms. Water power in par ticular ought to be kept in public hands. In. addition, we know that if there is "an economic war after the war" the national control of natural resources will be a fundamental es sential to this nation. Government control of the natural sources 6f wealth is necessary if our nation is to be industrially efficient, if it is to be prepared either for war or for peace." Whether a leasing system bill or a public ownership and development measure is put through, the people's most vital property rights are at issue. The monopolists and, special privilege folk are playing for the h^gest stakes since the railroad grabs of the public domain. Sullivan's Eight-Hour Day for State Employes BUI to Come Up This Week. ST. PAUL, Minn., March 1.—A lively -fight -was staged on the floor of the senate last week over Senator 1 E?Jfc£lrifi£n'9 bill which seeks to give all state employes an eight-hour day.. On the final vote to advance the measure from "general orders" to the calendar, the. bill received 37 votes. There was no roll call—under the rules it could not be demanded—but under ordinary circumstances when a measure of this kind is advanced to the calendar it is pretty certain that it will finally pass the senate. In any event, the first blood was drawn by the advocates of the measure. Senator Dwinnell of Minneapolis op posed the eight-hour day oh general principles, claiming it did not make for efficiency. He stated also that at the present time the cost of living was soaring sky high because wages in all lines were advancing. Senator W. A. Campbell called the senate's attention to the fact that during the recent election in Min neapolis, Mayor Van Lear carried Senator Dwinnell's district by a big majority. "And the issue in that elec tion," said Senator Campbell, "was the eight-hour day." Senator Jones said the government had gone a great deal farther in the direction 6f establishing the eiglit hour day than the Sullivan bill asked the state of Minnesota to go. "This bill," said Senator Jones, "applies only to employes" In state in stitutions, while the United States government has gone so far as to require that all work done by private contractors on behalf of the govern ment shall be done under the eight hour day system. Increases Efficiency. "The eight-hour day has not Seri ously affected the efficiency of Henry Ford's employes. If Henry Ford's word is any good at all, the eight-hour day positively Increases efficiency.** Senator Sullivan made a strong plea for the passage of the bill. He stated that Minnesota should take the lead in establishing the eight-hour day for its employes ar.d set an example^ for private employers in this state. The author of the bill read extracts from the country press favoring the passage of the bUl, arguing that it is not true that sentiment in the country districts does not favor such legisla tion. "On the other hand,'* said Senator Sullivan, "the greatest senti ment for this measure comes from the rural communities." It is .likely the* measure will come up for 'yote some time this wee*, and r'r"y«QitrvAldermaB n-' siffr SUNBEAM Chinese novelty written and acted entirely by Chnese.

CHARLES SPENCER CHAPLIN IN "NIGHT OUT" TODAY, (SATURDAY.) "SORROWS OP HAPPINESS" Helen Gibson, R. R. Girl Monday, Tuesday "Liberty" LAW SHUTTERED SEATTLE, Wash., March 1.—Judge Tallman of the superior court of the state of Washington has perforated beyond recognition the minimum wage and eight-hour laws of this state. A lower court awarded a laundry worker damages against the Model Laundry company for violation of these lawB. It was proven that the company speeded up its employes and then la!& them off for an hour or twp., Under this system, which would not be toilful a ia^ngry^ofk-f ers' union,' &ie* employes? were forced to be in the plant 10 and 12 hours a day, although they received wages for less than half these hours, which was the act'uaj $J»e 'they labored. The company appealed from the damage award and Judge Tillman sustained the appeal. His decision permits employers to pay women by the hour or by the day at the rate of $9 a week.

Before the city appropriated $60, 000 to erect a plant consumers were paying as high as 13 and 15 cents a kilowatt hour. The first cut of the private companies was to 5 cents a kilowatt hour and now it is 3 cents where the maximum amount of cur rent is used. This is the same as the city's rate.
