In regard to agricultural land set

Enlarge Leasing System.
THE public range can not be proper
ly administered under the existing law.
1t should be leased for grazing purposes
under the broad administrative discre-
tion of the secretary of the Interior. so
that the leases can be adapted to ac-
tual conditions and the legitimate in
terests of the sheep and cattlo-men.
At present the range itself is being
destroyed and both sheep and cattle
men are coming TO the conviction that
their own interests will be better sub
served by a leasing law.
In fact. the enlarged application of
the leasing principle to the public do
main generally will. in my Judgment,
more effectively promote development
and protect the public interest than
the present system. Certainly coal.
Oil gas. asphalt. nitrate. and phos-
phatc lands can be more appropriately
developed by leasehold than by the
present system OF classification and
sale of the fee which prevails with re-
spect to coal
In respect to such leasing In Alas
ka. the secretary recommends "the pas
sage of a liberal but carefully guard
ed leasing law for the development of
it's mineral resources and especially
OF its coal lands. Alaskas greatest re-
sources are her minerals and In the
of these the precious me-
tails still hold the predominant place.
Careful consideration OF the provisions
of an appropriate leasing law for the
coal lands of Alaska is being contin-
ued through the director of the bureau
of mines. with a view to suggesting
such changes In or substitute for bills
on this subject which are now pending

tary declares; wherefore. ne urges al

remote situation and peculiar local
conditions.
THE whole subject OF water power

judgment. receive the immediate con-
sideration of congress" says the Sec
retary, and constructive legislation

has adequate constitutional power TO
control water power development both
in navigable streams and upon the

federal government can act more ef-
fectively than the states In many cases.
No correct or permanent solution Of the
water-pOwer question can be reached
until the interests of the state and of
