age Western Progress


Tulsa, Okla, Oct. 3O.-Representa
tive Scott Ferris of Oklahoma, chair.
man Of the house committee on pub.
lie lands, in an address before the in.
ternational dry farming congress,
criticised the administration of affairs
in the interior department and assail
ed federal land laws now in force as
a "jargon of inconsistencies that re.
tard progress and development"
"Our land laws are crude in many
respects, irreconcilable, inefficient,
without uniformity, confusing to the
brain of the settler and impossible of
Interpretation by the layman," Mr..
Ferris declared. "Most of our So
called land laws are a confusing mass
of executive orders, rulings, interpre.
tations and decisions made by bureau
chiefs and clerks in the various
branches of the interior department.
I'm my service in congress we have
had four secretaries Of the interior,
Gallinger, Garfield, Fisher and Lane.
The views of these four men have diff
fered on policy, on questions of law
and construction, and many Of the de-
cisions made actually are obstructive
to the settlement of lands of the West
and blight on the development of
the unbounded resources of nation.

clusion, according to the official re-
turns the question as to what Washing
ton purposes to do is keeping the for
eign residents and the majority of
Mexicans in a state of painful sus-
pense. On the surface at least the
administration is giving little consid-
GRAFTON to the subject, seemingly tax.
ing the ground that the Mexican peo-
pie have declared in favor of Huerta's
continuance.
In view of Washington's previous
representations on the subject, the
next move of the American govern
ment is awaited here with no little
misgiving. Many Americans have
packed their portable belongings pre-
paratory to fight, and are facing the
necessity of leaving many of their
household effects behind. They ex-
press little hope of finding anything
left upon their return. The made
quate storage facilities already are
overtaxed and most of those who con-
template fight expect to leave their
homes in charge of Mexican caretak-
ers, as the only alternative.
