E SEATTLE STAR _ {Too Timid to Trust People Tt is not likely that the Works bill for leasing Alaska coal now called “conservation legislation,” will be seriously up at this session of congress, and we earnestly hope it ‘will not be. The time is at hand for making an effort to wipe out all termediaries between the people and the people's manage at of resources to be conserevd. Why not be frank with the and courageous in managing what is theirs? Why have Tessees, commissions to watch lessees, ‘and a lot of red tape an affair which simply means delivery of the people's fuel to this Works measure consistent, It would give the of mining and marketing the coal to lessees but it directs that if mines of coal suitable to army and navy use are found,! the government may operate them for the army or navy. If fnment operation is good for the army or navy, why not all the people? The trouble with Senator Works in this matter, as in re D spect of recall of the judiciary, seems to be that he doesn't have | confidence in the people. Timidity in this regard seems to be Sw characteristic of several other leading or would-be leading sives. They won't have the states control conservation water power and forests because such resources belong to public domain as a whole, and yet they hesitate about letting le control their coal fields. d y? Is it because they are fearful lest, succeediag in mining and selling his coal to his people at cost, Uncle Sam may P) try his hand at other things than mining for the relief of his if from brutal private monopoly?

In conclusion we believe that the action of the park board in this matter is ill advised, and that the action was takeg without having given the matter the consideration that it deserved. O. M. SNYDER, . Secretary. Seattic, Aug. 9, 1911. Editor Star: For a number of years I have been a constant reader of your paper and I want to com mend your course in defense of the rights of the people. It seems to me that as a people we fail to fully appreciate the importance of the issue confronting us at the present ume. It is the same old issue that has come down to os from the past: Shall the few rule? The present issue is largely a repetition of that of 60 years ago. Then it was the oligarchy of slave holders, now the plutocracy of predatory wealth. Then, as now, every effort was [made to bring the United States president and both houses of con- gress to the support of the class assuming the right to govern; then, ag now, the courts were involved; then California applied for admis | sion as a free state, now Arizona ts knocking for admission, with a con- stitution unsatisfactory to the terests”; then Kansas was the bone of contention, today the storm cen. ter is over Alaska; th as now, of the country wege on the side of the people, The parallel might be carried much farther. I have barely touched on a few salient points. The importance of the present cannot be overestimated. I appre ciate what it means to The Star to take the stand it does, and I hope it will continue the fight, un- deterred by or favor, In so doing, it shall have the unqualified commendation of at least one reader, Truly, LEVI WRIGHT, 3113 King st.
