Down-Stairs Store, New Bulldlnf To tha Editor of Tho Standard Union: In ths ourrent controversy oyer State park legislation, I have observed a misapprehension which should be corrected. Some persons appear to believe that Governor Smith has proposed certain Legislation In regard to the State perks, and that ths Republican majority in the Legislature haa passed a different statute. As a matter of fact, the legislation, which Governor Smith Is supporting, was not proposed by him at all.

it tvas proposed by the State Council of Parks, which consists of auch men as Judge A T. Clearwater. Senator Fancher, Alexander MacDonald, the Conservation Commissioner, and a number of other eminent and public spirited citizens, for the most part members of the Republican party. The quarrel Is not between Governor Smith and the Republican majority, blit It is between the members of the Stats Park Counotl and ths different regional park commissions, composing a distinguished group of patrlotio citizens, on the one hand, and the Republican majority in tha Legislature, on the other. Governor Smith is merely approving legislation proposed by ths members ot ths 8tats Park Council and by ths comlssioners.

who ars men of high standing, devoting their time and money to a great public cause. The controversy la distinctly not a political nor a partisan affair. These men who have for years given unsparingly of their energy and their time to the causa of ths State parks (being as it happens for ths most part Republicans) are seeking to develop this park system in a broad and enlightened manner, free from ths restrictions and prejudices of local politics Ths majority of the State Legislature, on ths other hand, are seeking to impose ths dead hand of political control upon the State parka It la a question aa to whether ths State Park Council and the regional commlnsions, composed ot such men as I have indicated, shall have charge of the purchase, of lands for State parks and the subsequent maintenance of the parka, or whether the Land Board, composed entirely of State officeholders, whose Interest in the parks ia only Incidental, temporary and political, shall dominate this great movement. Governor Smith haa asea and approved the better course, bat the proposition, whloh he is endorsing, doss not oome from him. It oomes from the State Council of Parks and ths regional commissioners.
