Reform of Land Laws.

Reform Of the land laws has
not been mentioned among the
measures which President Will
son will ask Congress to take up
either at the extra session or at
the next regular session. This
fact is probably due to failure by
the President, like other Eastern
people, to recognize the necessity
of the refrom. Western people
are keenly alive to the urgency,
and 1t is incumbent upon Western
Senators and Representatives to
urge action so forcibly that delay
beyond the next regular session
will be impossible, says the
Oregonian.
New laws are needed to HARM
onize conservation with develop
ment and with the rights Of the
public land states; also to remove
those absurdities and invitations
to fraud which characterize
Legislation by Eastern men ignor-
ant of Western conditions. OF
almost equal Importance IS reform
of the administration and pro-
cedure Of the Land Office.
The organization Of the Land
Office Is now virtually the same
as in the early days Of the re-
public, when it was merely a big
real estate selling agency. The
laws of the last seventy years
have intrusted it with judicial
functions connected with the
determination of vested rights
established prior TO the issue Of
patent to public land. But no
proper machinery has been
created to exercise these func-
tons. The Commissioner nomi-
nally exercises them. but, having
executive control over some 1000
employees. he cannot give more
than superficial attention to his
judicial duties. He delegates
them to his snbordinates, of
whom. according to his 1911 re-
port. 13l we're graduate lawyers
and l50 others were qualified by
experience to pass on such mat
ters.

Gold Medal For
School Boy or Girl

A gold medal to the school boy
or girl between the ages of 10
and 15 who writes the best COM
position. not to exceed 800 words.
on the repair and maintenance
of earth roads, is to be awarded
by Logan Waller Page, Director
Office of Public Roads. United
States Department of Agricul-
ture. Washington. d. G. All
compositions must be submitted
to Mr.. Page before May 10, 1913,
and the medal will be awarded as
soon thereafter as the compost
tons can be graded. The COM
position may be based on know
ledge gained from books or other
sources. but no quotations should
be made.
After many years experience
in dealing with the public road
rituation Of the country, II is Mr..
Pages belief that ignorance on
the subject of repair and main
tenance of roads is as much the
cause Of their bad condition as
any other one factor. II is ex-
pected that the competition will
bring about a better understand
ing Of the subject Of repair and
maintenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the
rural districts have experienced
the disadvantages Of roads made
impossible through a lack of
proper maintenance and 1t is ex-
pected that their interest in the
competition will stimulate greater
interest among the parents. Bad
roads have prevented many
children from obtaining proper
education and have even prevent
ed doctors from reaching the
side Of rural patients In time to
save their lives.
Any child between the ages
mentioned. attending a country
school, may compete. Only one
side Of the paper must be written
on: each page should be num-
bered; thename. age, and address
of the writer. and the name and
location of the school which he
or she is attending must be
plainly written at the top of the
first page. The announcement of
the competition has been sent to
the superintendent of schools in
the rural districts. No further
information can be obtained from
the Office of Public Roads. This |
should be plain to
everyone. and all children will
thus start on a basis of equality. |
