Are Too Many Executive Officers Elective?, Bradley M. Thompson Jan 1908

Are Too Many Executive Officers Elective?, Bradley M. Thompson

Articles

We propose very briefly to call attention, to so much of the present constitution of Michigan as has to do with the executive department, and to consider the methods which the people have adopted for selecting those public servants whose official duty it is to enforce the law, to maintain public order and protect private rights.

Surface Water In Cities, John R. Rood Jan 1908

Surface Water In Cities, John R. Rood

Articles

It is evident that no one hard and fast rule could be applied to all cases, either in city or country, without producing injustice and impolitic results. The needs and conditions in city and country are different. They usually differ widely in different parts of the same city. These considerations have induced the Supreme Court of New Hampshire to adopt the flexible rule, that: "In determining this question all the circumstances of the case would, of course, be considered; and among them the nature and importance of the improvements sought to be made, the extent of the interference with the …

Editor of the "Daily Commercial News",
San Francisco, Cal.

Dear Sir:-

Your issue of the 10th inst. contained a criticism of my position on "The Hatch Hetchy Water Supply" and I assume that you will be fair enough to give me a "square deal" in the matter and hence send you this reply. The writer of that criticism is evidently one of those whom I referred to as being "wedded" to the Hetch Hetchy system, though he does not disclose his identity.
He brushes aside my reference to Professor [illegible]arx' statements made before the Common Health …

The Tuolumne Yosemite In Danger., John Muir Nov 1907

The Tuolumne Yosemite In Danger., John Muir

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

Ok i THE TUOLUMNE YOSEMITE IN DANGER BY JOHN MUIR THE Hetch Hetchy Valley, " that wonderful counterpart of Yosemite" as State Geologist Whitney called it, was discovered by Mr. Joseph Sereech in 1850, the year before the discovery of Yosemite, when the Digger Indians held possession of it as an acorn orchard. After my first visit in the autumn of 1871, I have always called it the Tuolumne Yosemite, for it is a wonderfully exact counterpart of the great Yosemite, not only in its ciystal river and sublime rocks and waterfalls, but in the gardens, groves, and meadows / …

Letter From John Muir To [Theodore Roosevelt], 1907 Sep 9., John Muir

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Dear Mr. Presidents=

Martinez, California. Sept. 9/07.

I am anxious that the Yosemite National Park may be saved from all sorts of commercialism and marks of man's work other than the roads, hotels etc required to make its wonders and blessings available. For as far as I have seen there is not in all the wonderful Sierra, or indeed in the world another so grand and wonderful and useful a block of Nature's mountain handiwork.
There is now under consideration, as doubtless you well know, an application of San Francisco Supervisors for the use of Hetch Hetchy Valley and Lake …

My dear Miss Graydon,

We were all glad to hear from you once more in your balmy island home, in good health and hopes after so long a silence. How letter-mute the whole Merrill family have been for a year or more. The last three years have been full of change and trouble and anxious care. Helen is still far from well, though much better, and we hope the sick lung will at length be completely healed.

A National Issue. The Hetch Hetchy To Be Saved To All Who Are Interested In The Conservation Of Our National Parks, John Muir

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

A NATIONAL ISSUE The Hetch Hetchy to be Saved To all who- are interested in the conservation of our National Parks: Secretary of the Interior, Richard A. Ballinger, has recently taken a decided step for which he should be warmly commended. He has called upon the authorities of San Francisco to show cause why that portion of the Garfield permit giving the city a conditional right to flood the famous Hetch Hetchy Valley should not be revoked. The sentiment of the public is very general that San Francisco should not invade the Yosemite Park and destroy scenery of unrivaled beauty. …
