Five Big Conservation Bills Pushed By Wilson
President Wilson urges the House to pass five conservation measures to launch the largest public cut program in the nation. The Ferris bills cover water power site leasing and Alaska coal lands, the Foster bill develops radium resources, the Kent bill proposes public land leasing, and the Smith bill extends reclamation payments. An omission on water power sites stems from disputes with Secretary Garrison and Rep Adamson.
