AMENDMENTS To RECLAMATION ACT.
l urge consideration of the recon-
mendations of the secretary of the in
terror in his annual report for amend
ments of. the reclamation act, propos-
ing other relief for settlers on these
projects.
Respecting the comparatively small
timbered areas on the public domain
not included in national forests be-
cause of their isolation of their special
purposes, it is apparent from the evils
resulting by virtue of the imperfec-
tions of existing laws for the DISPOSE
ton of timberlands that the acts of
June 3, 1878, should be repealed and
law enacted for disposition of the
timber to be subject to appropriation
under the agricultural OF mintral
lands laws.
What have said is really an cpl
tome of the recommendations of the
secretary of the interior in respect to
the future conservation of public
domain in its present annual report.
He has given close attention to the
problem of disposition of these lands
under such conditions as to invite the
private capital necessary to their de-
velopment on one hand, and the main
tenance of the restrictions necessary
to prevent monopoly and abuse from
absolute ownership on the other.
These recommendations are incor-
porated in the bills he has prepared,
and they are at the disposition. of con-
gress. | earnestly recommend that all
suggestions which he has made with
respect to these lands shall be embod-
led in statutes and especially, that
Withdrawals already mado shall be
validated so far as necessary and
that doubt as to the authority of the
secretary of the interior to withdraw
lands for the purpose of submitting
recommendations as to future DISPOSE
ton of them where new legislation if
needed shall be made complete and un-
questioned.
THE FOREST RESERVES.
The forest reserves of the United
States, some 190,000,O00 acres in ex-
tent, are under control of the depart
ment of agriculture, with authority
adequate to preserve them and to ex-
| tend their growth so far as that may
be practicable. The Importance of the
maintenance of our forests cannot be
exaggerated. The possibility of sci
entific treatment of forests in order
that they shall be made to yield a
largo return in timber without really
reducing tho supply has been dem
onstrated in other countries and we
should work toward the standard set
by them as far as their methods are
applicable to our conditions.
Upwards OF four hundred million
acres of forest land in this country
arc in private ownership but only
per cent of it is being treated scien-
tifically and with a view to the main
tenance OF forests. The part played
by forests in the equalization of the
supply of water on water sheds is g
matter of discussion and dispute, but
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1910-01-21

the general benefit derived by the pub
lie from the extension of forest lands
on water sheds and the promotion of
the growth of trees in places that are
now denuded and that once had great
flourishing forests, goes without say
ing. The control to be exercised over
private owners, in their treatment of
forests which they own, is a matter
for state and not national regulation,
because there is nothing in the con-
stituton that authorizes the, federal
government to exercise any control ov-
Ell forests within a state unless the
forests arc owned in a proprietary
way by tho federal government.

TOO LATE FOR THE STRIP. ;

The Hon. D. II. Morris, n member of
the Lower House OF the Utah State
\ Legislature, announces that he is going
to introduce memorial AT the com.
ing session. asking Congress to cedc
to Utah that portion of Arizona lying
north of the Colorado River. Tho rca
Sous for this ccssiou arc strong, and
have often been stated. The strip
| lying north Of tho Colorado River Is
practically inaccessible from Arizona
and l. 2 sort OF ''no man s land, a
refuge for toughs and criminals But
| il is easy of access from Utah; its
water supply comes from Utah, and
it could be governed and developed
from this side in a way quite imposs-
ible from the Arizona side. And Mr..
Morris. whose district borders on that
g strip is the appropriate man to
move for its absorption into Utah.
It will be remembered that com
mittee from the Utah Legislature of
1907 made trip to visit the Arizona
Legislature. with view OF comforting
upon the business Of transferring this
strip, - But the Arizonnns hardly
treated them civil; they would hear to
nothing, while at the same time they
had TO acknowledge the facts as pre-
sented, and the impossibility of deal
ing with that " strip as conveniently
and effectively as Utah could deal
with il.
Later, Smoot stated that when Ari-
zopa applied for Statehood (the aPpli-
cation being even then pending) he
would insist on this 'strip' being
transferred to Utah He did not make
any move at all for it, however, so far
as We observed, when the successful
application for Statehood was made by
Arizona. And now the Congressional
enabling act for Statehood for Arizona
has been passed, with boundaries as
now. and the constitutional conven-
ton Just finishing its labors, has
fixed the same boundaries. 1t is, there
fore, TOO late to make any move tc

sion for its present lines, a permission
