| dent strongly recommends the improve
meut Of the Ohio River, from Pittsburg
10 Cairo, and Of the Upper Mississippi.
The former project would cost $63, 900 900.
An experimental refOrestation at the
head Of navigable streams by the Forest
Service is recommended, and q new law
| is urged for the disposition Of timber on
small areas not included in the national
forests.
The Presidents Message.
The message. in part follows:
There has developed in recent years a
deep concern in the public mind respect
| ing the preservation and proper use OF
our natural resources. This has been par
ticularly directed toward the conservation
Of the resources of the public domain.
The problem is how to save and how
to utilize. how to conserve and still de-
velop; for no sane person can contend that
it is for the common good that natures
blessings are only for unborn generations.
1t seems TO me It IS the duty Of Con-
gress now, by a statute, to invalidate
the Withdrawals which have been made
by the Secretary Of the Interior and the
President. and TO authorize the Secretary
OF the Interior temporarily TO withdraw
| lands pending submission to Congress of
recommendations as to legislation TO
meet conditions or emergencies as they
arise.
"One of the most pressing needs in the
matter Of public land reform is that
lands should be classified according to
their principal value or use. It should
be done by the Interior Department
through the Geological Survey. Much Of
the confusion, fraud. and contention
which has existed in the past has arisen
from the lack Of an official and deter
minative classification Of the public lands
and their contents.
Fertility of SOIL.
1T is now proposed to dispose Of agri-
cultural lands as such, and at the same
time to reserve for other disposition the
treasure Of coal oil, asphaltum, natural
gas. and phosphate contained therein
This may be best accomplished by sepa-
rating the right to mine from the title
to the surface, giving the necessary. use
of so much of the latter as may be re-
quired for the extraction of the deposits.
The surface might be disposed of as agri-
cultural land under the general agricul-
tural statutes, While the coal or other
mineral could be disposed Of by lease on
a royalty basis, with provisions requir-
ing a certain amount of development
each year; and in order to prevent the
use and cession Of such lands with others
of similar character so as to constitute q
monopoly forbidden by law, the lease
should contain suitable provisions sub
jeetinS TO forfeiture the interest Of per-
sons participating in such monopoly.
Such laws should apply to Alaska as wen
as to the United States.

natural resources of the country, the fea-
ture that transcends all others. including

There are millions Of acres of COM

Too Many Projects.
"One of the difficulties that has arisen
is that too many projects in view Of the
available funds have been set on foot
The funds available under the reclana-
ton statute are inadequate to complete

And yet the projects have been begun:
settlers have been invited to take un

Projects Under Way.

Recommending a big issue OF bonds for
reclamation and urging Congress to enact
new legislation TO conserve the nations
resources, President Taft, in his message
read in the House yesterday. insists on
speedy action.
The message also asks Congress to vail
date Withdrawals by the Secretary OF the
Interior, and points out the difficulty of
enacting laws that will both conserve and
develop.
Separation OF the oil from the min
erals beneath it is urged, as well as laws
to prevent monopoly both in minerals and
water powers.
Need of Conservation.
The President calls attention to the need
Of conserving the fertility of the soil,
which work. he says, is more important
than saving woods, waters or minerals
He recommends a loan Of $30,0000O0 to
complete irrigation projects already com
menoed and remarks upon the distressing
condition OF those settlers who have taken
up land and found the irrigation delayed.
Failure TO complete these projects, he
says, is ''in effect a breach of faith" And
the people need relief from their dis
tressed condition.
