Forests.

I urge that provision be made for
both protection and more rapid de-
yelopment of the national forests.
Otherwise, either the increasing use
# these forests by the people must be
checked or their protection. against
fire must be dangerously weakened.
If we compare the actual damage on
similar areas on private and national
forest lands during the past year, the
government fire patrol saved CONNER
cial timber worth as much as the
total cost of caring for all national
forests at the presnt rate for about
ten years.
K. Lands.
The use of the public grazing lands
should be regulated in such ways as
to improve and conserve their value
Rights to the surface of the public
land should be separated from rights
to forects upon it and to minerals be-
meath it, tnd these should be sub
ject to separate disposal.
The coal, oil, gas and phosphate
rights still remaining with the gov
ernment should be Withdrawn from
entry and leased under conditions IA
vorable for economic development.
Minerals.
The consumption Of nearly all Of
our mineral products is increasing
more rapidly than our population.
Our mineral waste is about one-sixth
of our product, or nearly $1,000,000
for each working day in the year. The
loss Of structural materials through
fire is about another million a day.
The loss of life in the mines is ap-
palling. The larger part Of these
losses can be avoided.
A part of the action Of the joint
conference says: We also especially
urge on the Congress Of the United
States the high desirablity Of main
tanning national commission on the
conservation of tehresources of the
country empowered to cooperate
with State commissions to the end
that every sovereign Commonwealth
and every section of the country may
attain the high degree Of prosperity
and the sureness Of perpetuity nat
urally arising in the aboundant re-.
sources and the vigor, intelligence.
and patriotism of our people.
In this recommendation II most
heartily concur, and I urge that an
appropriation Of at least $4,000 be
made to cover the expenses OF the
national conservation commission for
necessary rent, assistance and trav-
cling expenses. This is a very small
sum. I know of no other way in
which the appropriation Of SO small
a sum would result in SO large bene-
fit to the whole nation.

No man and no set of men should be

ton with loaded dice. The uncheek-

Waterways.
Accordingly, urge that the broad
plan for the development of ou1
waterways. recommended by the In
land Waterways Commission, be put
in effect without delay.
The work of waterways Develop
ment should be undertaken without
delay. Mcritorious projects in known
conformity with the general outlines
of any comprehensive plan should
proceed at once. The cost of the
whole work should be met by direct
appropriation if possible, but if nec-
essary by the issue of bonds in small
denominations.
1t is especially important that the
development of water power should
be guarded with the utmost care both
by the national government and b.
the States in order TO protect the peo-
pie against the upgrowth of monopoly
and to insure to them a fair share in
the benfits which will follow the dc
velopment of this great asset whic'
belongs to the people and should b.
controlled by them.
