Necessary Mineral Law
Changes

In an address at the twenty first
anniversary of the Michigan School
of Mines, at Houghton, Mich.
August 9, 1911, Director Smith. of
the United States Geological Ser
vey, said that the objects to be
sought by amendment of the
public-land laws are, first, pur-
poseful and economical develop
ment of resources for which there
is present demand, with retention
of such control as may prevent
unnecessary waste or excessive
charges to the consumer, and
second, the reservation to the
people of the title to all resources
the utilization of which is con-
jectural or at least the need of
which is not immediate. The
means that are essential to the at
tainment of these objects are, first,
the classification of the public
lands; second. the separation of
surface and mineral rights; the
third, the disposition of the lands

on terms that will insure the
highest use, enforce development,
and protect the public interest.
The classification of the public
land is essential to the administration
not only of such laws as express
the principal of separation but also
of those whose purpose isto promote
the highest use of the land. Under
the withdrawal act of June rs,
1910, classification is made possible
in advance of disposition, and dis
position can be postponed to await
needed legislation.
The second step, both in principle
and in practice, appears to be one
that shall make possible, by legisla-
ton, the separation of surface and
mineral rights wherever the two
estates have values that can be
separately utilized.
The chief advantage of land with
drawal and classification lies in
their essential relation to the
principle of proper disposition Of
the public domain, the real purpose
of public-land administration being
to secure such reservation or dis
posal of the peoples land as will
assure its highest use. The
question of amending the present
laws relating to the disposal Of
coal, oil, gas, and phosphate de.
posits on the public domain i:
fairly before the public, as i:
recognized by the specific mention
of these minerals in the Withdrawal
act.

UNHOLY RATIO OF 1926 TO 7.

UNHOLY RATIO OF 126 TO z.
Among the reasons given by
various newspapers for the de-
feat of reciprocity and the Cana
dian fear of annexation is one
set forth by the Boise Statesman,
which develops a startling fact.
1t is this: Ten years ago there
were 1T murders annually in
the United States to the million
population. Today there are 126.
Across the imaginary line in Can
ada there are only seven murders
to the million annually.
There must be something re-
pulsive to Canada, for example,
in our criminal procedure. UI
there a crime is a crime. A thief
is a thief whether he steals $50
or thousands-and he is punished
for his crime, promptly and ade.
quately. Swift judicial ven
geance follows on the trail of the
murderer. How different in this
country! The legal avenues fol
escape encourage crime here
rigid enforcement of the law
Invested of delay, minimizes il
there"
The simple truth is this, how
ever much we may dislike to ad
nit it: We don't adequatel.
punish crime and we don't metz
out quick justice. They do boil
in Canada. That is a preventive
of crime. Lax enforcement O
law encourages criminals. TIL,
abuse of the pardoning powe
jgives still further encourage
ment.
