Irrigation and Forest Preservation.
| Much is now being done for the
| states of the Rocky mountains and
| great plains through the development
| Of the national policy of irrigation and
| forest preservation. No government
| policy for the betterment of our inter
nal conditions has been more fruitful
of good than this.
Divorce Legislation.
| am well aware of how difficult it is
! to pass constitutional amendment.
| Nevertheless in my judgment. the
| whole question Of marriage and di-
| vorce should be relegated to the au-
thorty of the national congress. The
change would be good from every
standpoint. In particular it would be
good because it would confer on the
congress the power at once to dea
radically and efficiently with polygamy
and this should be done whether o
not marriage and divorce are deal
with. 1t is neither safe nor proper {
leave the question of polygamy to b
dealt with by the several states

Let me once again call the attention
OF the congress to two subjects con
corning which have frequently be
fore communicated with them. one j.
