met in Washington last week passed
resolutions favoring the Panama
Canal, liberal appropriations for tie
improvement of our water ways and
harbors, reform in the consular serv
ice and repeal Of the land laws. The
board declared that our consular
service is far below the average Of
other great powers because of our
political system of appointment. The
board took up the question Of the
public land problem and the settle
ment of millions Of people upon the
western lands as one of vital import
ance to all the commercial interests of
tho country. Internal commerce
thrives with population. The Desert
Land Law, the commutation clause
Of the Homestead Law and the
Timber and stone Law were de-
nounced as instruments of fraud and
theft of the greatest resource of the
country and their repeal was demand
ed Of congress.
