PrBLTC LAND LAW REFORM.

The Public Lands bill introduced in the Sen

come a law at this session of Congress. but the
policy which il embodes is one which Con
gress will probably accept I'm the near future
1t is becoming clear that the old Homestead
law most beneficent IN its day-has practically
done It's work and must be replaced by an en-
actlnent dealing with new conditions. The
Homestead law opened to occupation and set
tlement the rich arabic areas Of the Middle
West. It aimed at peopling that region and
giving any individual who sought il an actual
homestead. The grant of a hundred and sixty
acres was supposed to include land which could
he farmed and would be farmed. But as the
mountainous country between the Rocky Noun
tains and the Pacific Slope began to he opened
up new problems were presented. The valley
agricultural lands have been pre-empted in the
old way But the vast wastes Of arid soil and
the timber, oil and mineral areas cannot be
disposed of on the theory that settler will
reduce one hundred and sixty acres to cultiva-
ton and make q home Il. Irrigation must
be provided first in the arid region to enable
any one TO live on such small allotment, while
in the timber and mineral areas property of
great value is given away 10 homestead claim
ants who merely wish TO exploit it or sell It.
Under the present system the tendency has
been TO throw lands of great value into the
than advance the work OF home building and
appropriate privileges for which the govern
ment gets no adequate return. Mr.. Nelson's
bill directs the withdrawal from presumption
of the one hundred million acres of OIL coal,
mineral and forest lands which the United
States still owns in the Far West. 1t sets this
region apart and provides for its development
under lease so that something OF its actual
value can he realized sooner or later by the
public. IT would be foolish to allow the enOr-
nous resources of this area to pass into private
hands for song. 1t can be developed only
by capital and the average settler under the
Homestead other entry laws is clearly I'M
able to subJugate It as he subjugated the
prairie But If great combinations Of capital
must undertake this work. it would be better
to have them undertake it under governmental
supervision, so that public rights may be safe
guarded and the riches now hidden in the earth
may not be prematurely and lightly alenated.

under discussion last year, but persons who
own and ride in motor cars are not the only
ones who are likely to profit by that piece or
legislation. Alcohol will be promptly adopted
for the operation of small engines in the shop
and on the farm, if the price is ever lower than
that of gasolene. Poor though the prospect
of such n change Is just now. the possibility
ought to be kept steadily in mind. Perhaps the
farmer may be able TO obtain cheap alcohol be-
fore the mechanic does. for the way may yet
be open TO him to manufacture it himself.
Apparently the only way in which alcohol
can be turned TO account for purposes of illu-
minatiOn is to burn ii under such mantle
as constitutes the essential feature of a well

which is made incandescent by heat needs to
