ROBERTS MAKES
VIEWS PUBLIC

When seen by Carson News report
er, Saturday evening Congressman
Roberts expressed himself as follows:
Yes, | just received word from
Washington to report there for the ex-
traordinary session, which will con
vene on April IA, 1911, at the hour of
II O'Clock NJ. My term begins today
at noon and while | hardly anticipated
being called for an extra session |
shall certainly be on hand when the
time comes. | presume the purpose of
calling the extra session is to secure
favorable action ON the Canadian re-
ciprocity which doubtless died in the
United States senate. Many of the
old familiar politicians will be absent
when the new congress convepes, and a
new set of men, many of whom are
unknow in nationa affairs, will take
their places. 1t will certainly be an
interesting session and / hope to be
able to accomplish some good for the
state of Nevada. At any rate / shall
do the best | can and try to come
with a record of faithful service to the
people who so signally expressed their
confidence in me at the recent election
When President Taft in his annual
message of December 6, 1910 expressed
the hope that congress would promptly
enact the measure into law, he was
doubtless unaware of the opposition
which the bill would meet in the
senate. The bill was passed with little
opposition in the house. For my part
am unable to see where such recip-
rocal agreement could be construed as
an abandonment of the protec-
tive principles of the Republican
party because the conditions of produc-
tions in Canada are similar to ours, the
people are of the same common stock
and the wages of the two countries are
much the same while the normal and
social standard of the two countries
are identical, and the only barrier be-
tween them is an imaginary geographic
cal line and the difficulties encountered
in establishing reciprocal rates. I am
convinced that the welfare of the state
and nation lies in such a broad and
statesman-like trade agreement as has
been presented in the president IS
special message in the agreement be-
tween the department of state and the
Canadian government, and the statis-
tical data, which was transmitted to
congress. President Taft has shown
himself to be broad guage, and when
he used the following Language he hit
| the nail square on the head:
:" A farsighted policy requires that
! if we can enlarge our supply of
natural resources, and especially of
| food products and the necessities OF
life, without substantial injury to any
of uor producing and manufacturing
classes, we should take steps to do SC
now. We have on the north of us q
country contiguous to ours for three
thousand miles, with natural resources
of the same character as ours which
have not been drawn upon as ours
have been, and in the development OF
which the condition as to wages and
character of the wage Garner and
transportation to market, differ little
from those prevailing with u.s. -

TAFT REDUCES |NYO
NATIONAL FOREST
Especial to the Silver State.)

WASHINGTON, March THE
president has signed proclamation
eliminating 276,424 acres in California
from the Inyo national forest and ad-
ding S0,532 acres, the greater part of
which is located in California, with a
small portion lying in Nevada.
Most of the land eliminated lies
along the Owens river valley, where
the question of the proposed boundary
for the forest has been much discuss
ed. The Owens river settlers have
been urgent to have the forest area
reduced, but the representatives of
the city of Los Angeles have regarded
the retention of the land by the gov
ernment as essential to the success of
its great aqueduct project, intended to
assure the municipality an abundant
supply of pure water from the Sierras,
250 miles away. The elimination now
made is the result of an agreement
finally arrived at by representatives of
the Owens river settlers, the forest
service and the city of Los Angeles
whereby the conflict of views and in
terests was adjudged on basis which
commands the assent of all parties.
Besides the Owens river valley eli
mination there also has been eliminat
ed an area along the eastern slope Of
the White mountain division.
The additions comprise an area of
mountainous and hilly land adjacent
| to the northern section of the forest,
and covered with heavy stand of
! juniper and pinion.
The unappropriated portions of the
lands eliminated by this proclamation
| vii be restored TO settlement and en-
| try after they shall have been adver
tised in the local papers by the see
| retarv of tho interior
