Cassif1cation Of land.

Note-Of the 274,ooo,00O acres of vacant public land in these II States about 14,8OO,0O0 acres will be reduir- ed to satisfy the remaining land grant to these States.
 Two years ago presented in my re- port what might be termed a program of internal development with respect to land: 9 railroad into the interior or Alaska; a coal-leasing law for Alas kas; new reclamation act extending the time within which payments were to be made by water users and under which land would be forced into use; a water-power bill governing the use of public lands for hydro-e1ectric de- Velopment; general development bill providing for a practicable method of disposing of our oil, gas, coal, phos- phate, and potash without danger of monopoly or nonuse.z Of this program the larger portion has been adopted but the last two failed of passage in the Senate after having been success full in the House. The plan is to
 make the West help in it's own devel- opment. The royalties from oil, gas coal and phosphate lands and from water power developed on public lands should be used for the retaining of the arid country and then divided with the States.
 The country needs the other bills urgently. not as a matter of mere To- cal development but as a. national ne- cessity. 4
 Phosphate Rock Gin PIace.''
 The need for the general develop ment biII is not difficult to present
 The lands of the Pacific coast are be- i ing used intensely in some parts and these lands call for fertilization. One of the clements which must be destor- ed to the soil is phosphorus. This Is
 native in most soils, but is needed by all after long use. The orange or chArds of California and the apple or ohards of Oregon and Washin gton, not to speak of others, draw heavily upon the soil. And for it's rep1enish- | ing the orchardists are buying phos- phate rock in Florida, which is car
 ried 5 1000 miles by water and then in- land, while in idaho, Montana, and | wyoming we have under withdrawal nearly 5000 900 acres of lands that are underlaid with phosphate rock. 1 There is no law to-day under which this can be secured. In Montana and l elsewhere throughout the West are srnelters which product the sulphuric acid necessary for the conversion of this rock into practicable fertilizer. So that the development of this industry waits only upon the passage of a law
 which will put this mineral at the | command Of those who need 1t.

has it for the asking, a prize for dis I coyery. We expend 1,500,O0 year k<fow in the making of geological and | other studies of the country that we
 may know what we have. As uttl- | ization in most practical form of these studies there have been published du- l ring the past year four books of an originaN character-geologic guide books along the western railroad lines, | one along the Northern Pacific anoth- CT along the Union and Central Paci- fc, a third along the Santa Fe route and fourth along the Southern Pa cif1c coast line. These tell by map and picture in simple and untechnical language the story of the formation and character of the land through which the tourist is passing.
 l In doing all this with so lavish a hand the Government has been ex- pressing the generous instinct of the people and their absorbing determina- ton to Ego forth and find" For a l hundred years and little more this quest has been the drama of our life. It has given color to our civilization, and buoyancy to the hearts of the people. It has been a century of rev kelation, and as yet we have only the most superficial Knowledge of what this land it, of what it will yield to research, and how it may best be used. Its development has only begun.
 To Use, Not to Hold or Waste.
 But in all our giving we have been guided by purpose-the land that we gave was to be converted from wilderness into homes, or from rock into metal We gave to the States and to the railroads, with reserva- tion of minerals. We gave to the hom esteader. with a condition-the land was to be used. We gave our swamp lands, but to be reclaimed. We ] found our coal lands going as farms land we put a price upon them. we saw our forests being swept clean or monopo1ized and we held them out from the mass. Use! Use by as many as possible! The superior usel These were the things we wished and these gave form to our legislation
 And now we have come to a point where it can be said that if Congress will pass two bills now before it there will be no resources, in resolve, of all its vast treasure in lands, save na- tionaI forests and national parks.
 The following table shows the amount of lands already given to the States. and to private individuals, the amount reserved as forests, and the permanent reservations, such as ma tional parks and Indian reservations:

The Persistent Problem

Dessrtion Of families by fathers is one Of the
persistent social problems.
Its causes are easy TO discover but It's cure
Is difficult
"Desertion is sometimes premeditated, some
times drifted into by men going TO look for
work; Il Is sometimes due 20 intemperance or
moral weakness sometimes to temperamental
infirmities OF husband or wife" runs the report
Of the Springfield Survey. Department OF Sur
vey and Exhibits, Russell Sage Foundation.
The report puts particular emphasis upon the
social influence exerted by each case OF de-
sertiou:
The spectacle, for instance, Of rewarded de-
sertion-that Is, OF the husband temporarily re-
lieved Of his responsibilities the family in about
as good shape as before he left, or In fairly
good shape soon after his departure-may tend
toward irresponsibility among other men waver-
ng upon the border"
But social influence" can work in several
ways. One form OF II can make desertion

his responsibility upon all who pay taxes-and
no one escapes some form OF tax.
