Portance and alive to its necessity.
II is attempted in this short article
oHly to show how thoroughly the
present Democratic administration
has guarded the heritage OF the
whole people from exploitation and
usurpation by the few an dpasscd or
iRaugurated legislation which will
preserve and make useful to the
whole nation our public domain.
The nation, in spite of the tremen-
dous waste under Republican admiu-
istrations, is still rich in natural re-
sources and has vest property inter
ests to be protected. Several hun
dred million acres of unentered. IN
ABportioned land still remain in pub
lie ownership. Some of 1t is noun
tain land. some semi-arid, some al
nost total waste land. The Wilson
policy is that this vast domain shall
be used for the advancement ana
good of the whole people, not the
enrichment OF the few. II shall be
made habitable and turned into Am
erican homes.
The Homestead Law, which oas
passed House. is now on the Sen
ate calendar and will soon become =
law enlarges the homestead unit
from 100 to $40 acres, so thls an AM
erican farmer will find it possible to
go upon this land and establish an
American home. Thus will the waste

There is thirty-five million poten-
tial horsepower of hydroelectric en-

million running idly to the sea. OF
this last the Interior Department ad-

der the jurisdiction of the War De-
partment But all of 1t under the
determined policy of President Will
son is being conserved and developed
for the use fpresent and coming
generations of Americans. The lax
laws, the lack of proper laws, the
faulty administration, the expioita-
tion and waste of our, public domain.
all have been remedied and stopped.
A timberless nation is weak at a
vital point. The one hundred and
sixty-five million acres of forest re-
serves, which must furnish this and
succeeding generations of Americans
an adequate timber supply, have been
vigorously pr Cted and conserved
by the Wilson administration. No
longer are there timber thievery,
frauds and depredations.
No chain is stringer than its weak
est link; any nation is crippled which
does not possess and contrJ' an ade-
quate fuel supply. The fifty-three
million acres of coal land containing
four hundred and fifty billion tons of
coal, still in public ownership, is an
estate belonging to the American
people of inestimable value. So well
has the Wilson administration con-
served this great asset that the most
fault-finding opponent finds no
ground for criticism of it,
The recent great development in
