Waterway Improvement
Policy OF his Predecessor
By United Press Leased Special wire.

By United Press Leased Special Wire
MONrROSE, Col, Sept a3.-If there
were any doubts here whore President
Taft stood on the Roosevelt policies, they
have been set at rest within the last
twcnty-four hours by his vigorous en-
dorsomont Of the Irrigation mad water
ways improvements plan OF his predccos-
sor
This administration he said at Colo
rado Springs rs pledged with the aid
OF the people TO put upon the statute books
such additional legislation as VII clinch
the advance In tho standards of business
and IN the managemont Of railroad and
Industrial corporations We have made
that advance under the influence Of my
predecessor, but we must not stop"
lie took up the question OF the conserva-
tion Of our resources. the reclamation OF
arid lands, the preservation of forests.
the deepening of waterways and pledged
himself for this IN the direction Of scion-
list evolution of these problems. Such a
policy cannot be brought to a elimination
in one administration or two. or three, he
said. All that one can say while he Is re-
sponsihle ia that his efforts would be de-
voted to carrying out these policies. not
only TO devoting the governments atton-
tion, but also TO encouraging the use OF
private capital and private effort IN the
same direction.
Every time the President mentions ir-
rigaton, or reclamation In the West. he
gets a cheer that raises the roof every
time he speaks on finance, tariff or labor
or capital, frost settles down over the
crowd.
The President Is in better physical con-
dition than he was when he left Beverly
and believes that under Or Richardson'i
care his voice will hold to the end In tho
high attitudes he is more comfortable
than most Of the members Of the party
and has not even experienced headache
when his train has been climbing ovei
mile and half mile ridges. To-day th'
president will spend his time inspecting
the huge irrigation works at Gunnison.
