RoOSEvELT'S POSITION REGARD.
ING PUBLIC DoMAlN-coM-
MISSION APPOINTED.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec 14.-The
public land frauds and the question OF
land law repeal come in for a good
portion Of the presidents message,
The president reiterates and empha.
sizes his statement of last year that
the remaining public lands should be
inviobly for the use and benefit
of the genuine homemaker. ReaTz.
ing the increased public attention
which has been drawn to the subject
he announced the appointment Of a
commission consisting Of w. A. Rich
ards, commissioner of the general
land Office; Clifford Pinchot, United
States forester, and Frederick III.
Newell. United States photographer
and in charge of the irrigation sery-
ice, to submit report on the opera
tion Of the Timber and Stone act. the
communication clause of the Homestead
act, and the Desert Land act This
commission Is now at work and II Is
hoped will make speedy report to
the president which will enable him
to present the matter to congress for
action.
There is but little question as 70
what the report Of this commission
must be. Too much testimony has
been presented, during period Of
not months, but years, showing not
only fraud and gross violation of
these laws, but the more startling
fact that, by reason of their funda-
mental defects it has never been pos
sible, since their enactment, 10 pre-
vent frauds under them. There is no
partisanship 70 this question. II can
not be said by one set of politicians
that the other crowd has not admin
istered and enforced these laws.
There have been some pretty good
commissioners Of the general land Of
flee and some pretty good admins.
trations during the past twenty years.
and yet enormous frauds against the
people have been continuously con.
summated under these laws. The
great Miller and Lux cattle ranch, In
the San Joaquin valley Of California,
was so acquired under the Desert
Land act, and Is now a great tract Of
four hundred thousand acres controll-
ed and operated by two people, in
stead Of being settled up into thou
sands Of small farms from five 70 forty
acres each.
The next move is for a quick and
full report on the part Of this com
mission which will throw any addi-
tional official light possible on the
question SO long as matters are de.
layed the public lands are disappear.
