I: tention- {.
From the great lakes to the mouth q,
the mississippi there should be a deem
water way, with deep waterways leading
from 1t to the east and the west. Such a
waterway would practically mean the ex-
tension of our coast line into the very
heart OF our country. The government
dams should be used to produce hundreds
OF thousands of horsepower as an Incl
dent to improving navigation: for the an
nual value of the unused water power of
the United States perhaps exceeds the an
nual value OF the products of all our
mines. As an incident to creating the deep
waterway down the Mississippi, the gov
should build along its whole
lower length levees which taken together
with the control of the headwaters, will
at once and forever put a complete stop
to oil threat OF floods In the immensely
fertile Delta region. have appointed an
inland waterways commission to study
and outline a comprehensive scheme OF
development along all the lines indicated.

congress.
Irrigation should be Ear more extensively
developed than at present, not only In the
states OF the great plains and the Rocky
mountains, but in many others as, for
"a 80 go ~ "a h'S oodlll

go hand In hand with the reclamation OF
swamp land.
Public Lands.
The land law system which was de-
signed to meet the needs OF the fertile and
well-watered regions Of the middle west
has largely broken DOWN when applied to
the dryer regions of the great plains, the
mountains, and much of the Pacific slope,
where a farm of i0 acres is inadequate
for self-support. In these regions the sys-
TEN lent itself TO fraud, and much land
passed out Of the hands Of the govern
ment without passing into the hands of
the home-maker.
Some such legislation as that proposed
is essential In order to preserve the great
stretches OF public grazing land which
are unfit for cultivation under present
methods and are valuable only for the
forage which they supply. These
stretches amount in all TO some 800, 900, 600
acres, and are open to the free grains of
cattle, sheep, horses and goats. without
restriction. Such a system, or rather
such lack OF system, means hat the
range is not so much used as wasted by
abuse. AS the west settles the range be-
comes more AMI more oVer-grazeG. Much
OF ii can not be used 10 advantage unless
1t is fenced, for fencing is the only way
by which to keep III check the owners OF
nomad tioCkS which roam hither and
thither utterly destroying the pastures
and leaving a waste behind So that their
presence Is incompatible with the pres
enCe Of hCme-makers. The existing
fences are all Illegal.
