Uncle sam, by very wise land laws,
has provided against the remaining pOr-
ton Of the public domain becoming
m0nOpolized by few. And the wisdom
OF the homestead and the desert laws
IS becoming more evident every year
in sections Of country which have been
acquired under them. The land is as a
rule settled by actual hOmeseekers and
bona fide developers, and little of 1T
passes into the hands Of the Spectator.
This condition is especially true Of
the 4fimbres valley. Most Of the land
held in this valley was acquired under
either the homestead or the desert acts.
The desert entryman must, In order to
hold the land, develop a water supply
for the same within four years and
have an eighth Of it in actual cultiva-
sion. Under the homestead law, the
land open TO entry in the Mimbres val
ley has thus been aQuired, and this ac-
counts in large measure for the mar
velOus strides that this valley has made
in the past two years.
Thus the 8Iimbres valley is a com
munity Of landholders and developers
The clock puncher and the remittance
man are largely eliminated. The men

The Earl of Lonsdale. who Is on a par
with Lord Desborough in being one of

a collection of carriages Of all periods

requisite standard, for il would be I'M

powdered coachman and footman and a
pair Of fifteen-hand horses. It would
look absurd. Lord Lonsdale has eight
Seventeen-han horses: he will use two
himself. and the other six are already
promised.
Motor cars will be much used, of
course, for getting about town, paying

attributable TO the advent of the motor

pretations Of travelling expenses that
have pertained for some time in most
of the departments in Washington, Pres
ident Taft's desire that the first test of
economy be made on the travelling ex-
penses of the government has aroused
some CONSERVATION among the men who
travel regularly in the service of the
government. These include the revenue
post Office. Treasury and customs inspect
ors, pension examiners, secret service
men and special agents of the Depart
ment Of Justice, and others whose duties
keep them on the road most Of the
time
The blow is not likely to fall here, how
ever. The real waste in the government
travel expenses, according to leading Of
hciais of the government, comes from
two primary causes: First, trips that
are not vitality necessary; and second
travel that could be purchased for a less
figure than is actually paid for 1t.

Former Secretary Norton is we'll
qualified to speak as an economist in
travelling expenses The results of his
various trips about the country show
an amazing ability to get over long dis
tances at small expense. On one trip
from Chicago to Washington, where the
ordinary fare is s17,>Mr. Norton turned
in an expense account Of only $3.50;
while he often made round trips from
Washington to New York for an even
SO.
But lac. of the economy in purchasing
transportation is the bigger question Of
what travel is necessary. The President s
demand for a test of economy in the
travel department is likely to be followed
by tightening of the lines and the re-
duction of some of the travel that has
been developing during the last few years.
Such an economy would undoubtedly
hit the Agricultural Department with con-
siderable force. One statement from the
economy experts shows that the travel
of this department amounted to about
81 100000 for the last year. Much of this
is unquestionably necessary; hut other
portions Of it may come in for question.

is due to the important experiments that

President Taft's inquiry will undoubt-

method of handling travel expenses. Ii
will result in the cutting off Of many
trips, but. most important of all. IL will
put the travel Of the government upon a
scientific basis, where the cheapest rate

been thrust forward by the attention
given to it by the President. is actually
