INIMICAL TO WELFARE OF
THE WEST.

TO PREVENT MONOPOLY, ETC.,
BUT THAT IS ALL.

•ane, practical conservation policy,
under reasonable regulation, permit
ting tho development of our natural
resources In accordance with the na
tural laws of progress and industrial
growth," declared Senator Borah in ad
dressing the Senate Monday during
consideration of conservation legisla

sources in idleness, deprive Its pioplo
■of their enjoyment and use and compel
WILLIAM E. BORAH.
United States Senator from Idaho.
them to pay tribute to those resources
of which you have taken possession
hero In the East and developed at your
own free will ”
Mr. Borah said Congress could not
promote conservation by treating pow
er sites, which to utilize was to con
serve. as it did the coal beds, which to
utilize was to consume. As to unde
veloped natural resources, hr said that
mfter Congress had adopted laws to
provent waste, extravagance and mo
nopoly so as to insure their economic
and bona fide use by the people, It
was about as far as the United States
government could go. Ho added that
us to timber there always should be
the encouragement and aid of refor
estation, as that was something that
could be reproduced.
Mr. Newlands followed Mr. Borah,
declaring that the most ardent con
servationist never had advocated a
policy looking to the locking up of the
resources of the couutry for the fu
ture. Therefore, he asserted, Mr. Bo
rah waß “fighting windmills.” Mr.
Newlands declared also that the con
test was between the "interests” on
the one hand, and the people on the
other.
