or not it is ruined so far as the next
words, the range is not so much used
as wasted by abuse; and as an Incl
dent conflict and bloodshed frequently
arise between opposing users. With
the rapid settling of h West the
range is more and more o~vergrazed.
Moreover, much of it a not be used
to advantage unless it is fenced, for
fencing is the only way by which to
keep in check the absentee owners
of nomad fiocks which roam hitner
and thither, utterly destroying the
pasturage and leaving a waste behind,
so tina their presence is incompatible
with the presence of home-makers.
Good judges estimate that our public

nigh impossible to do anything to
keep the value of the range.
Federal Control.
The only practical remedy is to
give control of the range to the Fed
eral Government. Such control would
not only stop conflict but would cor
serve the forage without stopping its
use. as our experience with the IA
tional forests has fully proved. 1t
would likewise secure to the West the
great benefits of legitimate fencing

settlement of the country. Hitherto.
however, it has not proved possible
to get any legislation to secure these
ends. The destruction of the public
range will continue until. as a nation,
we insist upon h enactment of some
such laws as those 1 have advocated.
Land Frauds.
For several years we nave cen do
ing everything in our power to pre-
vent fraud upon the public land. What
can be done under the present laws
is now being done through the joint
action of tle Interior Department and
the Department of Justice.
Further Legislation Needed.
But fully to accomplish the proven
ton of fraud there is need of further
legislation and especially of sufficient
appropriation to permit he Depart
ment of Interior to examine certain
classes of entries on the ground be-
fore they pass into private ownership
The appropriation asked for last whit
err. if granted, would have put an n
to the sq~uandering of the public do

any need of causing hardship to ind

claims. However, the appropriation
was no given us, and in consequence

Transportation by Water.
The inability OF the railroads of
the United States to meet the de

attention forcibly to the use of our
waterways o transportation. But

many very small inheritances are ex-
empt, but the tax is so sharply progress
sive that an inheritance not in agri-
cultural or forest lands which exceeds
two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, if it goes to distant relatives,
is taxed at the rate of about twenty
five per cent. The German law is of
special interest, because it makes the
inheritance tax an imperial measure.
while allotting to the individual States
of the Empire a portion of the pro-
ceeds and permitting them to impose
taxes in addition to those imposed by
the Imperial Government. In the I'm
tied States the National Government
has more than once imposed inAeri-
lance taxes in addition to those impos
ed by the States, and in the last in
stance about one-half of the States
levied such taxes concurrently with
he National Government, making a
combined maximum rate, in some cas-
es as high as 25 per cent; aud. as a
matter of fact, several states adopted
inheritance tax laws for the first time
Wllle the ndJlOndl law was St1ll In
force and unrepealed. The
tax could be made to bear more heavi-
ly upon persons residing out of the
country than upon those residing with
in it. Such a heavy progressive tax
is of course in no shape or way a tax
on thrift or industry, for thrift aad
industry have ceased TO possess any
measurable Importance in the acquisi-
ton of the swollen fortunes of which
| speak long before the tax would in
any way seriously affect them. Such
a tax would be one of the methods by
which we should try to preserve a
measurable equality of opportunity for
the people of the generation growing
to manhood. AS Lincoln pointed out,
there are some respects in which men
are obviously not equal; but there is
no reason why there should not be an
equality of self respect AID of mutual
respect, an equality of rights before
the law, and at least an approximate
equality in the conditions under which
each man obtains the chance to show
the stuff that is in him when compar-
ed with his fellows.

the good results of such a policy.
Last summer, accordingly, I withdrew
most Of h coal4bearing public lands
temporarily from disposal. and asked
for the legislation necessary to protect
the public interest by the conservation
of the mineral fuels; that is, for the
power tt keep the fee in the Gov
eminent and to lease the coal. oil,
and gas rights under proper regula-
ton. No such legislation was passed,
but 1 still hope that we shall ultimate
ly get it. ~
In addition to treating Alright for
the benefit of the whole people the
forests and the mineral beds, we
should similarly try to preserve for
the benefit of all the people the great
stretches of public domain, some three
hundred million acres in all, which are
unfit for cultivation by present me-
thods and valuable only for the for
age which they supply. This vast
area is now open to the free grazing
of cattle, sheep, horses, and goats
without restriction or regulation.

with the dishonest man. Neverthe-
less, a graduated income tax of tne
mane1t feature of Federal taxation,
and hope that one may be devised
which the Supreme Court will declare
constitutional.
Prefers inheritance Tax.
In my judgment, however, the I'M
heritance tax is both a far better
method of taxation, and far more i'm
portant for the purpose l nave in view
the purpose of having the swollen
fortunes of the country bear in proper
ton to their size a constantly in
creasing burden of taxation. These
fortunes exist solely because of the
protection given the owners by tle
public. They r a constant source
of care and anxiety to the public and
it is eminently just that they should
be forced to pay heavily for the pro-
elementary that the nation has the alb
solute right to decide as to the terms
| upon which any man shall receive a
bequest or devise from another. We
have repeatedly placed suc laws on
our own statute books, and they have
repeatedly been declared constitution
al by the courts 1 believe that the
tax should contain the progressive
principle. Whatever any individual
receives, whether by gift, bequest. or
devise, in life or in death, should, at
ter a certain amount is reached. be
increasingly burdened; and the rate
of taxation should be increased il
proportion to tde remoteness of blood
I of the man receiving from the man
giving or devising. The principle of
tances has not only been authorita-
lively recognized by the legislation OF
Congress. but it is now unequivOcally
adopted in the leading civilized ma
lions of the world-in, for instance.
Great Britain, France, inc Germany.
Switzerland led off with the imposition
of high progressive rates. Great Brit
ain was the first of the great nations
to follow suit, and within the last
few years both France n Germany
have adopted the principle. In Great
Britain all estates wort five thou.
sand dollars or less are practically eX,
empt from death duties, while the in.
crease is such that when an estate
exceeds five millions of dollars in val
ne and passes to a distant kinsman
or stranger in blood the Government
receives nearly eighteen per cent. In
France, under the progressive system,

ten millions of OLA pays owe TWEEN

Income and inheritance Tax.

Now as to the matter of taxation.
Most great civilized countries have an
income tax and an inheritance tax.
In my judgment both should be part
of our system of Federal taxation. l
speak diffidently about the income tax
because one scheme for an income tax
was declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court by a five to four vote;
and in addition it is a difficult tax to
administer in it's practical workings,
and great care would have to be ex-
ercised to see that it was not evaded
by the very man whom it, is most de
sirable to have taxed, for if so evad-
ed it would of course be worse than
no tax at all, as the least desirable
of all taxes is the tax which bears

BILE except by taking into account all
the services they are capable of rem
derfng. 1t was upon this ground that
the Inland Waterways Commission
was recently appointed. Their duty
is to opo a comprehensive plan

country. Their duty is also to bring
