PINCHOT IS GIVEN A CHEAT OVATION

Delegates Leave Seats to Shake His Hand-Much Cheering. HE SPOKE ON CONSERVATION • L Advocates Action on Part of Law Makers to Conserve Natural Resources to All Mankind—States “The Public Good Comes First"—Was Introduced by Judge Alton B. Parker to Delegates of the National Civip Federation.

Washington. Jan. 18.—The feature of the proceedings of the National Civic Federation conference on uniform laws was the ovation accorded to Gifford Pinchot, wi»o was recently removed by President Taft as government forester for insuborlnation growing out of the so-called Ballinger-Pinchot controversy. When Introduced by Judge Parker, Mr. Pmchot was vigorously applauded and those delegates sitting along the aisles arose and warmly shook his hands. When he ascended the platform the delegates left their seats and crowded around him, shaking his hand and cheering him. It was some little time before order was restored and before Mr. Pinchot was able to proceed. Mr. Pinchot spoke on conservation. He stated that it was the “plain duty of all the friends of conservation to sink their differences." Mr. Pinchot said in part: “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 a hundred 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 decision. We havjs come at last to the point of action. And w’e must eitjier go forward or fall back. Here is a mighty field for uniform action and for co-operation between the states themselves and between them and the nation. “The great principles we have been working for should be written in our laws now, or the chance may pass. Public sentiment is prepared and awake. For the second time a president of the United States has endorsed the principles in a message to congress.

“The leasing of the coal lands, Instead of virtually giving them away, the prevention of water power monopoly, the conservation of our soils, the repeal of the timber and stone act, the maintenance of the national forests, government protection of woodlands at the head waters of navigable streams —these things are right and they can be dealt with rightly only in the light of the general welfare. Now is the time for all good men w come to the aid of the conservation movement without regard to party, or prejudice, or any personal consideration whatsoever. The public good comes first.”

Vail was asked if he had any exact figures' showing what it cost him to produce milk and he produced a list of bills paid by him for the month of December, 1909, amounting to $408.81, which he stated was the entire cost of producing that month? “Now what did you get in return for your milk that month?” asked Coleman. “For reply, the witness handed a check from the Borden company for $339.44.
