WOULD RETAIN
COAL Lands

President Roosevelt has sent to con-
gress a long message calling attention
to what he terms the urgent need of
legislation affecting the different phases
of the public lend situation in the
United States.
He advocates the conservation of coal
and other fuel resources ON lands still
belonging to the government, saying
that henceforth the nation should re-
tain its title to its fuel resources; urges
government control of the western pub

grazing fees, etc, and asks for an APP
preparation of half million dollars,
Immediately available, in addition to
present estimates, to aid in detecting
and proving land frauds. He contends
for system of government leasing OF
its mineral lands and for treating these
fuel lands as public utilities.
The president points out that it
would have been better if some eastern
coal lands had been LETT under govern
ment control, and suggests provision

MAKES PRESENT OF $4,000, 900
Rockefeller Donates That Sum TO
Schools

Thirty-two million dollars worth of
income hearing securities was the gift
of John u. Rockefeller, through his
son, John d. Rockefeller, Jr., an
nounced to the general education
board, when it assembled for a spec
ial meeting in New York recently. The
gift which is the largest single sum
every handed out for such purposes,
will be used for general educational
purposes throughout the country. Mr..
Rockefeller has previously given the
board 100000 for the same work.
Worldwide will be the appreciation
of the spirit which led John d. Rock
efeller to give in one donation S32.-
eco 900 to the cause of education in
the United States. 1t is truly said
that never in history has any man
given at one time so large a sum for
social and philanthropic purposes. The
liberality Of Andrew Carnegie, great
as it has been, is unmarked by any
thing that compares with this gift by
Rockefeller. and when it is borne in
mind that the $32,0O0,000 by no means
represents all of the latter's genera
sity the present donation stands out
all the more prominently.
A recent statement of Rockefeller's
gifts to the University of Chicago
placed the total amount OF $4,000, 600,
Previous gifts to the general educa-
ton board have been $1l,000,000 In
these three items there is a total of
$4,000 600 given for educational pur-
poses. Rockefeller has, moreover,
been liberal at one time or another in
donations to various colleges and uni
versites and for other philanthropic
objects. 1t might not be wide of the
mark to say that an aggregate of $75.-
100000 out of his fortune has been
thus diverted
