WIS q great conspiracy against the
people Of the State He reminded
the people that there are 100000
acres of land IN this State and that
only about 1900 900 acres are in
private ownership: al the rest being
owned BY the National Government
and used for the profit of the Nation
al Government. He said the object
of his bill was primarily to furnish a
permanent fund for the support Of
the public schools and the University
in a manner in which they should be
supported and without taxation to
the people. He asked why the range
men would want to buy the 100000
acres of public land when they now
not only use that but the rest of the
55, 00O. 900 acres that are not in the
forest reserve for nothing.
He answered the argument that
the range men would select springs
and water holes TO control the range
by saying that no individual could Sc
lect the land. but the State alone had
that power and that the Government
officials if they are honest would re-
fuse to make a selection and turn it
over to an individual if such act
would hurt the rest of the people of
the State.
He called attention TO the fact that
certain people had gone so far as to
publish the false and ridiculous state
ment that he was planning to buy a
part of the Hawaiian islands as a
sheep ranch. He said that he had
passed through the Senate a non-resi-
dent homestead bill, a bill to encour-
age the development of sub-surface
and artesian water and a bill to re-
lieve desert land entrymen from the
harsh rulings and the red tape of the
general land office and asked every
fair minded man and woman if such
acts YER in the interest of the range
men or the settlers.
The Senator in taking up the mat.
ter of suffrage explained in de-
tail his stand on this matter-how he
has consistently befriended the cause
from its very inception in this State;
how he caused to be incorporated
for the first time a plank favorine

II is foolish to conclude that We have

Is absolutely certain that We shall con

years to come as we have made in the

Therefore. there is but one solution to
the problem OF the production OF muui-

of peace merely a reasonable quantity
in order that We NAY have a reasonable
supply of munitions on and. and these
should be produced mainly by private

metallurgical industry for salvation.
This IL only another example OF an un-
related industry receiving an impetus
from unexpected metallurgical develop-
ment.
ON the other hand. with the price Of
pine and other wood oils soaring. ilota-
ton men have been turning to cheaper
oils. Coal tar and fractions from the
distillation OF Goa have been meeting
with favor. the coal creosotes especially
being in demand. Gas works and by

OF no small proportions for some OF
their products. and II IL only n question

production of coke. Further, petroleum
producers have been wanting to get
into the fiotation field. but most OF the
petroleum products have not met with
success unless mixed with a small pro-
portion of one of the wood oils or some
OF the Goa tar products. Here the i'm

The Advancement Of American Industry The
Need of Home Development Never
So Great AS Now

The casef for industrial preparedness OF the United States sis being mor widely
realized every day. Military preparedness is urged to provide against obvious
dangers of war. The other preparedness of commerce and industry - looks for
ward not 70 n but to all possible conditions.
Economists are united on the watchword war or peace of this industrial
preparedness. In a nutshell, these are the things lacking in the industrial life
Of this country, the things which nus be obtained to meet conditions at the close
of the European war; better organization and greater efficiency at home; pushing
ut of foreign trade. and the development Of our industry so strongly that n foreign
competition can disodgc it.
At present, the United States is leading the world in its outgoing trade. In
October, vessels leaving New York habor for III parts IF thu world carried export
goods to the value of $4,000 GOO. In n yearo var this country has exported
cotton, beadsufs, cattle, farm and dairy products to the value of more than
other nations nearly 100000 900. 1t is conceded that Dor it will pass the first
billion mark and inter the second. Foreign trade balances show that the world
yves the United States more than it cvero owed to any country lin history.
This prosperity has luned the country into a false sense of industrial security.
The theory has been advanced that it will require years for the countries now at
war to resume their normal rate o production, and that the business is bound to
come to u anyhow.
This is a mistake. 1t was only a few months after the Franco Prussan war
when France a producing almost as much as before. The American nan
facturGs should rcaize that not n smoke stack has been DESTROYED during this var
in England. Germany and Italy, and only a few in a small part of France.
The leading authorities in the fields OF commerce and finance are firmly of the
opinion that nc golden food will automatically sweep upon this country at the
Of war. 1t will be n passive prosperity, they declare. On the other
hand, this country will have to fight against a foreign competition infinitely greater
than before the war.
True business preparedness nw is nressaryt o meet this condition. Unless
advantage is taken of the opportunity now. ninety days after the wa will find
Germany, France, England AM other European nations in a position in the worlds
markets W stronger than they occupied before.
This preparedness for the struggles Of peace is equally vital in preparation for
possible wal. Industrial organization. the development of domestic manufac-
their proper distribution as to localities would help to make this country
independent and ndustnaly invulnerabe in time of war.
Military preparedness would 60 for naught unless supplemented by the
greater organisation and development OF business and manufacture. This country
