saying that the afeature that tran
sends all others, including woods,
waters, minerals. is the soil of the
country. 1t is incumbent upon the
government to foster by all avail
able means the resources OF the
country that produce the food of the
people. To this end the conserva-
ton of the soils of the country
should be cared for with all means
at the governments disposal. Their
productive powers should have the

The situation In the semiarid re-
gion where reclamation work has
been going on is clearly set forth.
Already too many projects in view
of the, available funds have been
started. Settlers have rushed IL the
belief that these projects wopld be

distressed condition. irThe President
urges that in order 70 repaif what

is Of the opinion that the proceeds
from the public lands plus the wa
ter rentals will create a afnking
fund large enough to retro the
bonds within 70 years.
Passing to the question of forestry
he says that 100, 100000 acres are
now under the control OF the De-
partment of Agriculture in the shape
of forest resources, and states that
the possibility of treating these for
ests SO that they shall yield large
return In lumber without reducing
the supply has been demonstrated in
other countries. He believes that
we should work toward the standard
set by them as FAR as their methods
are applicable, to their conditions.
1t is his opinion that the 100000
900 acres of forest lands in this
country now under private owner
ship can, not be regulated as to cut
ting by the nation as a whole, but
that such regulation must come
through the States.

HAFTs CONSERVATION POLICY.

of his administration and should be
of especial interest to people of Ha-
wall. who have taken many ad-
ranced steps in conservation and
would be pleased to go further II
Congress will be so good as to in
clude our Territory within the scope
OF the reclamation work. tlt.
The President supports the. rec
ommendation made by Secretary Bal
linger that there be general re-
classification OF public lands. He
urges the issuance of $4,000, 900 in
bonds for the assistance OF settlers
who took up land thinking the irriga-
tion work would be Immediately for
warded on lands which have never
been reclaimed, and also the inau-
guration OF an adequate inland wa.
terways policy that will require an
appropriation OF $63,0O0.OOO.
President Taft in his closing para
graph notes that Congress has order
ed an investigation of the Interior
Department and the forest service OF
the Agricultural Department, but
asks that the measures recommended
be taken up and disposed OF prompt
ly without waiting the result of the
investigation which has been deter

resources as are left. Commenting
upon this awakening OF public in
terest he says, "a vast amount of
discussion has appeared in the pub
lie print In generalized form upon
this subject, but there has been lit
tie practical suggestion. 1t has
been easy to say that the natural
resources in fuel supply, in forests,
In water power and other public
utilities must be saved from waste,
monopoly and other abuses, and the
general public are in accord with
this proposition as they are with
most truisms. The problem, how
ever, is how to save. how to utilize,
how to conserve and still develop,
for no sane person can contend that
1t is for the common good that ma
lures blessings are only for the un-
born generations" q
President Taft then addresses HIM
self to the task OF determining how
to save, to utilize. to conserve and
to develop. He says that Secretary
Ballinger has temporarily with
drawn water-power sites on 1902
streams in order to safeguard them
until Congress may act. He notes
that present statutes are not adapt
ed to carry out the modern view OF
the best disposition of public lands,
under conditions sufficient to induce
nriyata no initial IN taLo l,oll auat N
the same time to preserve the con-
troll in the hands of the nation. He
then. urges the Redistribution along
the lines laid down BY Secretary Bal
linger. adding that such laws should
apply to Alaska as well as to the
United States.
His opinion OF the method to be
employed In preserving to the gov
eminent the power to control water
powers is easily understood. He
takes the ground that the govern
ment owning the land adjacent. to
water power In streams is the owner
OF the riparian rights, and that by
retaining control of the land 1t may
retain control of the water power.
He says that many water-power sites
which were once on the public do
main have already passed into pri-
yate ownership and may eventually
drift into one ownership, but II the
sites now owned by the
government are disposed of under
the proper restrictions there are still
enough of them to prevent such q
from debating the price at
which hydro-electric energy shall be
sold as well as preventing the i'm
proper union of powers now held by
the government with the powers now
held by the individuals. This would
seem to dispose of the statement that
a water-power trust has gained con-
troll OF the available water powers
Of the country. According to Pres
ident Taft's view there are still
enough water-power privileges re-
tanned by the government to pre-
vent the alleged trust from gaining
