public land would remain permanent ly in public ownership, and therefore that contingency was not provided for. IL has to be provided for now.
 The people of the West will insist that this provision be made in the spirit of the enactmeuts under which federal title was obtained and not in the spirit of recent federal executive and to some extent judiclal-as- sumption of federal supremacy to the state.
 The states concede that under their own agreement they cannot tax the public domain. but they protest against any such interpretation of the low that great. areas of land within tlelr boundarles--fn this state about one third of She area-shal be forever released from obligation to contribute to the states revenue. Nor will federal dole of portion of the rev. enue satisfy the states.
 The federal proprietorship is rec ognized. If the extinguished compen- sation must be made The object of tho suggested treaty should be to de- tcrmine on what terms federal pro- irietorship shall be ext!nguished, in so far as to permit the states, having made due compensation to the United states, to obtain revenue according to their own judgment from the public lands. Several plans could be sug- Gested which would be just to all.
 With the spirit of Secretary Lanes address, the West is in hearty accord It ought from the beginning to have heen made impossible for any one to acquire land except to be immediately rut to beneficial use or it's resources conserved for the future under well defined obligations. There is no West orn objection to applying that princi- pal to what remains of the public do- main. Both as to conserving public rights and encouraging private enter prise the west is in accord with Sec re tary Lane.
 And above all, the West will most heartily assent to Secretary Lanes suggestion that the public domain should be- as to small extent it now is. administered under cooperative agreements and participation between nation and statcs.-San Francisco Chronicle.

There is but one sovereign in Amer ica and that is the whole people The federal government represents the sovereignty as to certain functions and the state governments as to other functions. The term treaty" is there fcre an appropriate name by which to designate an arrangement between state and federal government in re- spect to disputed claims of authority
 The rport of Secretary of the Inte- TOT Lane both in it's conciliatory language and in it's statement of the issues opens the way to such n set clement. With most of the proposals Of Secretary Lane the West will be
 nd in hearty accord With one orly. that fs fundamental, they ought never to agree.
 The reports opens with propositions for opening up Alaska. There are those who believe that with all its probable abuses very slightly restrict e1 private energy is best for the open ing up of any country. Recognizing that is the case of Alaska that Is now impossible there will be little dissent from Secretary Lanes propositions. In Alaska the federal government rep- resents the entire sovereignty of the people.
 In the states it is different. There the federal government, except as to functions, expressly delegated to it represents no sovereignty whatever It represents proprietorship. and noth- ing else, with respect to the public domain.
 And one thing which the West ought to insist on with no compromise what ever is that the federal government shall cease right now to make any attempt to use it's rights as proprie- tor to in any way affect or modify the operation of the general laws of the state. When, as proprietor, 1t grants easements there should be no strings to them. and like other pro- prietors, it's land should be subject tt the state law of eminent domain.
 But there is twilight zone grow ing out of the federal proprietorship ir respect to which representatives of the state and federal governments should negotiate treaty.

upward path to fortune.
 Other wise men will say that the world is still full of great opportun- ities and that 1t behoves the younger generation to get out and look for them the same as the last generation old. It is another sage piece of advice and is excellent for the young man who has means and plenty of time to spend looking for the illuslve op- portunity.
 Some men have opportunities thrust upon them and all that they have to do is to go through certain motions of making good to be accounted suc- cessful That Is luck or Fate Most men will find that in spite of the gTandiloquent words of their success full predecessors that the world ig not full up with opportunities lying around waiting for youth to come along and pick them up
 There are no more opportunities in the world today compared to the population than there were a hundred or two hundred years ago. At best 1t is q gamble for most people.
 Young men are told to make op- portunity. It is splendid advice to give ca youth who starts in life with nothing in the world but fair edu- cation and good health. Opportunities are not made by the vast majority of men and the average youth or the average man who in middle life finds himself out of a job has about as much chance of making an Opportun- ity as he has of flying to the moon.
 Man cannot make opportunity. neith- CT can he afford to sit around waiting idly for opportunity to knock at his dcOr But there is one thing certain. Opportunity will come once to every man and while man may not force the opportunity he can so live and fit himself and control himself that when the opportunity does come he will be able to grasp it. To go on with it and not have to step aside and let the chance, the opportunity go on without him.
 It may come in youth and it may not come until later years, but the man who has lived right. has spent his time in the proper preparation and has not wasted it in vain persuit of phantoms of pleasure will be ready when the opportunity comes.
 Few men will find numerous oppor- tunities thrust upon them Fewer still will be able to make opportunities but every man should be constantly fitting himself for grasping his op- portunity when it does come Self discipline, self-restraint. clear reason ing and above all faith in. the power that rules the universe and in his own sharing in that power and fearless determination to make the best of himself and of his opportunity when 1t comes is all that is needed It ,s not so much the lack of the one Op- pcrtunity as 1t is the lack of the flt- ness or the will to grasp it.
