he turned from this negative and defensive
side Of the issue and made most positive
and constructive recommendation. He de-
clared that it is the opportunity and duty
of the government ito encourage in every
manner possible public work Of all kinds
in city, state and nation. This should in

and last. but not least, great governmental
enterprises for the irrigation of arid land

stances the clearing of cut-over land. This
land should be taken over by the govern

should be sold to the actual user on the

cost. longtime bonds should be used by
the government 10 be repaid out of the
subsequent sale OF the land.
