NATURAL WONDERS
Of US. DESCRIBED

Think of country in which, after
more than a century of occupancy,
man can go out and discover a brand

rated into an additional national park" 4"
was the way Franklin X. Lane, Secre-
tary of the Interior, sweepingly in
dicated the natural wonders and re-
sources of the United States in an ad-
dress delivered this morning before
the Twentieth Century Club in the
auditorium of the Cosmos Club. The
meeting had been advanced from
Thursday in order to hear Mr. Lanes
speech. which will probably be the
last public utterance he will make
as a member of the cabinet.
Secretary Lanes discussion was in the
nature of glorificd and inspiring
geography lesson in which, in success
sVe illusions and paragraphs, he car
red his hearers not only over most of
the United States proper, but into the
distant and incredibly resourceful ter
ritories of Hawaii and Alaska. He de-
scribed a tract of land in the former.
the boundaries of which run from two
seacoast points to apex in the crater of
a mountain, within whose limited space
practically all foodstuffs needed by in
habtants of the temperate and subtropi-
cal zones can be produced.

Lane. "one passes succeSsively through
fields of sugar cane. orchards, wheat
lands and grazing lands. This small
segment of one island gives, in min
iature. a picture of the productive
ness of the entire United States"
Secretary Lane told how in Alaska
1900 reindeer, imported two decades
ago, have increased to $4,000. If the
valuable muskoX, he added, be trans
planted from the barren grounds to

was placed at 100 cents. to begin with.
the clerk would be entitled to $1,000
a wear salary.
The next year the cost OF living
might decline per cent, according to
computations made by Uncle Sans
bureau which attends to such figur-
ing. the bureau of labor statistics of
the Department of Labor.
In such case the value of the unit"
would be placed at 95 cents. The en-
pioye whose salary was placed at
l 900 units would still draw his 1000
units a year salary, but each unit
would be worth but 95 cents. So he
would get $3.50 in real cash for his
years work.
This so-cailed unit system" would
work both up and down In case the
decision should he reached that the
unit value should rise Congress might
decree. for instance, that the unit
should be worth s1.1O. Then an en-
ploye drawing 200 units per annum
would draw $1,000 in a year.
The suggestion would put all the
100000 federal workers here in ex-
actIV the same BOAT, ana insure that
consideration of salaries to meet ex-
igencies would h" uniform from The
highest to the lowest employe on
Uncle Sans rolls.
Up or down would go the salaries
of the whole 100000 employees, ac-
cording as to how the cost of living
might sway throughout the nation.
Under the proposed system great
power would be given to the body
which would ultimately decide upon
the standard for the unit.
Congress. in the Anal analysis,
would be the body which would have
TO bear the brunt of decisions as to
the value of the unit. The great
question of what par" should be
