How the People Can Get Back Those Oil Lands From the Southern Pacific 6IFFORD PINCHOT struck at the root of the oil lands ques tion as far as it affects California in his address to.th^ mining congress at Los Angeles. The present plan amounts to con servation only for the benefit of the Southern Pacific company, which asserts title to half of these lands within the limits of the railroad grant. Mr. Pinchot points oufthat this title is presumably defective, for th« reason that the congressional grant of lands to the railroads expressly excepted those of mineral character. Any scheme of conservation which does not include the recovery of these oil lands by the national domain if the titles are defective "must be futile, because, holding the alternate sections, the people in possession of the .sections under grant can drain the oil strata underlying govern ment lands withheld from entry. In a word, the policy of conserva tion, as far as it has been applied to these rights, simply plays into .tjie;hands of people who under color of title from the railroad are exploiting oil strata that presumably belong X.6 the public domain. :•; .-The point raised by Mr. Pinchot touches the most important iviaj-ier affecting large industrial interests at the present time in CaLrforniaJ It deals with a question that must concern the next state administration and the legislature to be elected this fall. Why? Be .ca-iise the national administration does not appear likely to act wjUiqut official urging on behalf of the state and an official presenta tion- of the facts. A state commission should be appointed to examine these titles and report to what extent they are defective, by reason of the mineral land exception in the grant. The attorney general, the state mineralogist and other experts would be proper Jiie.mbers of such a commission. A report from this -body would compel action by the national administration, if the railroad grant titles are held to be defective, as Mr. Pinchot intimates, in these words : Tre government will not do its duty if it does not exhaust every possible means at its command to attack the title of the Southern Pacific railroad to mineral lands in ihe oil Selds and to vest title again in the people of the United States: , ' - Apparently the national administration is not likely to move in the matter without considerable urging. If these titles "to railroad grant lands are defective by reason of the mineral exception, that fact must be perfectly well known to Secretary Ballinger, who is an expert land lawyer. Mr. Ballinger preserves a notable silence on the matter, although he is voluble enough in prating about his "conscious rectitude." Attorney General Wickersham knows or should know if the exceptions specified in the congressional grant apply to these lands, but neither he -nor Ballinger, as far as the public knows, has ever said a word or taken the first step to examine the question This is why we believe that nothing will be done by the administration without an urgent showing officially made on behalf of the people of California. As soon as that is done, and not before, the conserva tion of the oil measures can be put on a just and reasonable basis that will permit development in the interest of the whole common- So negligent have been the department of justice and the secre tary of the interior in this "relation that it was left for private en terprise to raise this question- o.f the validity of these railroad titles. A suit is now pending in the Los Angeles federal court in which the railroad title to these lands is questioned. This suit was brought by "squatters," but the government has not intervened, although the matter in dispute involves many thousands of acres of most valuable land presumably belonging to the national domain. TO what extent, if any, is the power of granting paroles to convicts abused by the state prison board? Thechief of police in Los Angeles declares that a large proportion of his troubles are due to this cause. He is quoted: \u2666v ll h ii a 7e7 c no d ° ubtt^ t7S Per cent at least of the holdups and assaults on women are com mitted by paroled men of this and other states and the fact of the matter is that numbers of v — these men, sent up from Los Angeles, twit us witn me statement that they will be paroled, and they have no fears of where they are going. In many cases this proves to be true lam not one of those who are opposed- to giving first offenders a chance to reform, or who believe that they should be put among hardened criminals; but I say that a man convicted of a serious crime such as robbery, or attacks on unprotected men and women, should be Iceot in prison and made to feel, the weight of the law. p -The captain of detectives in Los Angeles concurs in this judg ment, and he mentions the case of Ernest Stackpole, who is serving a life sentence for murder in San Quentin. Stackpole killed a laun dr^nian in Los Angeles with whose wife he became infatuated lie was convicted and sentenced, but is now engaged in working for his release on parole. "" . . \ The practice of secrecy in the proceedings of the prison board iii these cases may easily lead to grave abuses. The public should have the fullest notice of what is done or proposed to be done. The peo ple have rights in these matters. - ; Abuses of the Parole System nn HE politicians in the present congress are eager to take up the { decennial apportionment of seats before they go out of office :*•: on March 4, but they are in doubt whether the census figures ~1 will be complete in time to take up this work in the short session: No doubt, there are busy pencils- iri \t Washington' already> engaged in dividing -the seats;; but alf such work: must ill depend; for its usefulness on two unknown quantities. Une of. these is the: population of tlie several 'states and the other is the basis of apportionment. Apportionment of the Next House The present basis is one seat for every. \l93;l67. inhabitants; but it is certain that lhjs : .figure will, be raised, because thefhbuse*leaders EDITORIAL PAGE OF THE CALL The Business District Obstructed desire as much as possible to avoid increase of its numbers. , Other considerations of . importance, however, interfere 'to modify this aspiration, and the most important of these is that if the basis of apportionment is stiffly raised some of the backward eastern states will be left with fewer representatives in the house. Altogether it is a question of nice adjustment so.as not unduly to offend political susceptibilities. . - : ' .: j : The best present guess seems to be that the basis will be raised to one seat for every 225,000 inhabitants. ..-At -that rate it is doubtful whether California ;would gain two representatives, as people hope in this state. If the basis is fixed at 210,000, as some propose, there is "ho doubt that the state would make a gain' of two members, t>ut that figure would likewise increase the total 'membership^ of /the house materially. Sooner or later the house will be compelled to follow the prac tice of the British house, of commons, whose membership, of 'more than 650 causes no special inconvenience. But the members are* not spread over a vast hall, as in congress, Avhere each man sits at his desk. The house of representatives: is made unwieldy by the requirements of desk room. If they sat on ".benches, like the members of parliament, there would be" room for twice as many and no dif ficulty about hearing the speakers. : . v MICE PRESIDENT SHERMAN will not profit /much by the perfunctory indorsement and easy- exoneration accorded him by "the old guard^in;New York-state. A certificate of moral character from: that source is not valuable, and "might even serve to cast a doubt' on the supposed beneficiary. A man is known by the company he keeps. V . . The charge that Sherman ~ engaged , in trickery to create the" impression that Mr.. \u25a0 Taft had;, enlisted his influence on : the; side of "the old\guard" and to defeat: the choice of \u25a0 Roosevelt for chairman' of the state convention is an implication arising from the president's own words in his letter to Griscom. Mr. Taft distinctly wrote that the olfi guard leaders had been guilty of falsehood in their representations to him. To what extent, if any, Sherman was implicated in these falsehoods we do not know; but it is certain that they were employed in J his interest . arnd *f or the'pur pose'of creating in the public mind the impression that Mr. Taft was siding with the reactionaries and the corrupt bosses; in New: York state. Jt was adfrtypiece of business, which a bushel basket full of resolutions from a discre&teid political- machine can »not disguise" nor whitewash. It is as Roosevelt puts it :; ; • : . ; f • ; ; :f ,The men .whoby/trickery kept 'control of : the state committee and who now come here in the effort to dominate the, convention are the very men who'are responsible for the corruption \yhich' I pr6duce"d'Allds'and for all thathasbeen discreditable; in the party ; management; ?and now? these deeply discredited bosses resent; the effort of the people, the effort of the ' plain people whotnake up the great bulk of the republican" part}-, to rescue that party: from the factions which have used it only to further their own bascand selfish purposes. : ;f > ;. v , -i ,~ ' \u25a0 \ It is in fine a clean cut :issue between corruption, assisted by trickery; and.the progressive wing of the : republican party, headed by Roosevelt, in l'ew ; York..

Every day when L go to town I pas 3 a tiny house between which and the street is a plot of ground about eight by ten feet— maybe less. . In that plot there have blossomed during the last sea son crocuses, . lilies of the valley, nasturtiums, pansies, poppies, golden glow and baby sunflower; Two feet of earth where the sun comes so seldom that nothing else would flourish produces the penetrating sweetness of heliotrope. : ' On either side of the tiny house are larger houses set somewhat back from th€ street and having respectably large garden plots.

The two middle sized houses with their carelessly 'cultivated areas of garden opportunity and the tiny house with its charming little garden wrested from an eight by ten — maybe less— patch of ground that most people wouldn't have thought worth planting at all ape a parable of people to me.

And the little house stands for the men and women who out of lesser ability and opportunity, by intensive and patient and persistent cultivation of every foot of their eight by -ten— or maybe less— patch of ground create life gardens that are a pleasure not only to themselves bur to all who "'live" near them, and even to every casual passerby.
