WILSON PAYS HIGH
TRIBUTE TO BRYAN

Wilson in a letter to William l.. Mar
bury, of this city. published in the
Baltimore Sun today. says that the
exemption of American coastwise
ships from Panama canal tolls con
s~titutes q very mistaken policy from
every point of view and benefits for
the present. at any rate. only a mo-
Inopoly." The president also pays a
high tribute to Secretary of State
Bryan.
The letter follows:
White House. Washington. February 6.
1al4.-My Dear Mr.. Marbury: I have your
letter of January 30. With regard to the
| question of canal tolls. my opinion is very
! clear. The exemption constitutes a very
mistaken policy from every point of view.
1t is economically unjust: AS a matter of
fact. it benefits for the present at any
in clear violation Of the terms of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. There Is. of curse.
much honest difference of opinion as to
the last point as there is. no doubt. as TO
the others, but it is at least debatable.
and if the promises we make in such mat
tiers are dcbatahle. I for one. do not care
to debate them. ! think the country
| to it's w~hole-hearted purpose to redeem its
promises in the light of any reasonable
construction of them rather than debate
a point of honor.
Your reference to the secretary of state
shows how co1nprehensively you have
looked on during the last few months.
Not only have MI. Bryan's character. his
Justice. his sincerity. his transparent in
tegrity. his Christian principle. made .
deep impression upon all with whom he
has dealt: but his tact in dealing with
men of many sorts. his capacity for bust
ness. his mastery of the principles of each
matter he has been called upon to deal
with. have cleared away many a diff
Guilty and have given to the policy of the
state department a deiniteness and dig
nifty that are very admirable. I need not
have taken from close association with
Mr.. Bryan. or how thoroughly he has
seemed to all of us who are associated

WHAT IT COSTS TO LIVE
I'M MANHATTAN BOROUGH

New York. Feb. 9.-On an income Of
between $1,000 and S1,l50 a yea a
family of five can live, under ordinary
conditions in fair comfort in the
borough of Manhattan; and an income
of between SLIGO and $1,000 probably
is necessary for the average family to
maintain unaided a normal standard
of living in that borough, preserving
health, mind, character, self respect
and proper conditions Of family life"
This is what the experience of the
New York Association for Improving
the Condition of the Poor in caring
for % families in the Home hospital in
the Vanderbilt tenements has taught,
according to a report issued by the or
ga%nization. For the daily budget of
an average family, based on its OBJ
scrvations, the association allows IS
cents for rent and $1.29 for food.
Clothing is given at 4S cents per day
and miscellaneous items bring the
daily expense to $2.96h or $~1,0S2.25 a
year, for a family of five.

be advisable for him to go abroad and
explain to the chancellories of Europe
the assurance against war, which
would be afforded by conventions be-

line of the peace treaties which he al
ready has negotiated with smaller Eu-

TO DEVELOP PUBLIC LANDS.
ADMINISTRATION MEASURES 70
BE INTRODUCED IN HOUSE
AND SENATE TO-DAY.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Administra-
ton bills to regulate development of
the vast resources Of government
owned lands in the West will be in
troduced in the senate and house to-
morrow by Senators Meyers of Mon
tana and Representative Ferris Of
Oklahoma, chairman of the COM
gressional public lands committee.
These measures, drafted after extend
ed conferences between the two chair
men and Secretary Lane of the in
terror department, are designed to
make available for immediate devel-
opment treasures in coal, oil, phos-
phate and potash deposits.
Drafted along the lines recon-
mended in Mr.. Lanes annual report,
the bills would provide for the leas-
ing of public lands under rigid re-
strictions to guard against monopoly
and to insure full development.
Resulting royalties would go in the
first place in the reclamation fund to
be used for development Of irrigation
projects in the arid and semiarid
States.
Upon the return of the money to
the federal treasury so per cent OF
II would be turned over to the State
in which leased land is located cor
state schools and development uses.

The proposed law to govern oil
leases would provide that the gov
eminent issue a permit for $3.50
acres, which would give the possessor
the exclusive right to explore for oil
In this territory for a period of two
years, during which time exploration
work aggregating 1000 feet in depth
must be done.
If oil is discovered the permittes
would be entitled to one-fourth of
the land in fee, the remainder Of the
land to remain with the government
and be subject to lease in small tracts
upon royalty basis. Under the pro-
posed leases or patents granted, no
drilling of wells could take place
within 200 feet of the outer bound
aries of the lands leased or patented
and provision is made for general
regulation requiring precautions to
prevent waste of oil or the entrance OF
water into the oil sands or oil bear
ing strata.
Forfeiture of the lease would be
the penalty for violating these condi-
tons and forfeiture could be effected
through court procedure.
1t is proposed that the coal lands
OF the country, which are all in great
part classified, be sold as at present,
in small blocks, but provision would
be made in the bills for leasing them,
any holding not to exceed 1850 acres
1t also would provide that for strict
ly local and domestic needs limited
permits may be granted for tracts not
10 exceed ten acres for a period of ten
years.
The provision against monopoliza-
tion would be stringent
