and to get an idea of what our needs

PRODUCTION, will now address you"
Taft Delighted.
President Taft in part said: Ladies
and gentlemen of Caldwell and of Can
yon county, l am delighted to be here
and see this vast crowd. Nothing
sembly like this.
The treatment which is to be given
to the public domain, popularity known
as the question of conservation, re
quires that l get better acquainted
with it. l am trying to pursue a mid
die course and get through congress
some real Legislative progress on this
question. There is much to be done,
and l am anxious to bring legislation
about that means progress.
Il think there will be no trouble to
get title to homestead lands earlier
than now. We want to encourage &C
tual settlement of the lands that are
subject to homesteading. The ques-
ton of ameliorating the conditions OF
the homesteader is an urgent one, and
it must be seen to that he secures title
to his land earlier than now.
Secretary Fisher gave expression
to his views, which are liberal to the
west.
| Conservation.
THE just distribution of coal ant

to pass from government control. The
west wants and is anxious for devel
lopment of these RESOURCES. The east
bemoaning its own experience along
this line, is now anxious to have tn,
government keep control over the mar
ural resources of the west. The wa,
to progress is for east and west t,
compromise their ideas on conserva
ton. The extremists on both side
: must be put aside.

In these arrangements we should Sc
