The effort OF the Government to deal with
the public land has been based upon the
same principle as that of the Reclamation
Service. The land law system which was
designed to meet the needs of the fertile
and well-watered regions OF the Middle
West has largely broken down when ap-
piled to the dryer regions OF the great
plains the mountains and much OF the
Pacific Slope. where farm OF 1GO acres is
inadequate for self-support. In these
regions the system lent itself to fraud, and
much land passed out OF the hands of the
Government without passing into the hands
OF the home-maker. The Department OF the
Interior and the Department OF Justice
Joined in prosecuting the offenders against
the law; and they have accomplished much.

has been defective 1t has been changed.
But the laws themselves are defective,
Three years ago a public lands commission
