PARTY TIES ARE GROWING WEAKER ... ' 9 ... Caused by the Spread of Progressive Ideas, Says Gifford Pinchot.

Giftord Pinchot, head of the National Conservation Association, arrived here from a long tour of the middle and far West to attend the annual convention of the Brotherhood of St Andrew. When asked for his views on the political situation In the country he had just traversed, Mr. Pinchot said: "The essential facto In the West, as I see them, are the weakening of par ty ties, due to a genuine interest in popular government and the spread ot progressive ideas. "The defeat of such men as Hull, in Iowa, and Tawney. In Minnesota, and the overwhelming victory of LaFollette in Wisconsin; the successful fight California Is making against the political domination of the Southern Pacific; the demand for direct popu lar government in Arizona; the repu diation of Bellinger by his own city, county and state, and especially the fact that the conservation Idea- has swept the-West ell these are typical 6igns of the progressive advance. The West Disgusted. V "The West is through with the subsidized public servants ad the hole-and-corner methods under which the machinery ot the Government has been steadily misused for the benefit ot the special Interests and the professional politicians.

It. is not justification of the tariff to say that it pays. This Gov ernment is not reduced to the necessi ty of raising its revenues by schedules which rob the people. ':: The essential fact about the tariff as the people see it where I have been is that it is unjust a moral wrong, written by the servants of special pri vileges for the benefit of their masters, and intended, not to help the small man make a ling, but to help the big man make an exorbitant profit No amount of statistics will conceal or modify that fact or make many schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff honest "The west never has been deceived aa to where the credit belongs for the useful laws passed at the last session of congress. Indeed, I think the whole country knows by now that the Wickersham railroad bill and Alaska bill were both indefensible. The Ballinger conservation bills, although -they (Continued on Page Six.)
