Ing The time of my presidency there has
been no measure in which / have taken
a keeuer interest than that which started
the policy Of national aid TO the cause Of
irrigation

and smaller streams Of the states Of the
great plains and Rocky mountains for ir-
rigation was even more important to the
future of this country than the improve
meet Of the course Of these same rivers
lower down as an aid to navigation. and
when ! became president one of the FIRST
things 90 which | turned my attention
was the effort to secure the passage Of
the law which naugurated this system.
