History is now repeating itself,
SAYS Secretary Fall "and after period
If unlimited expenditure in war mea
sures and in preparing for war in the
creation Of a navy, etc, IL has been
found necessary to curtail such expen
ditures to the very utmost. ! am jus
tilted in calling attention to the fact
that the department Of interior-the
home departments fully equipped
velopment of those great natural re-
sources which must be so developed il
the tax burden upon this and future
generations is to be borne at ALL"
Secretary Fall devotes a considerable
part Of his report to reclamation pro
jects and in this connection he urges
that "an affirmative strong policy be
announced by the executive.
The necessary advances can ba
made from year TO year without be.
coming an excessive burden upon the
taxpayers. the secretary says, "and
as has already been proven by ex.
perlence one years crop upon one acre
OF reclaimed irrigated ground will be
of a value largely in excess OF the
total amount expended in rendering
such acre productive. Under the
present system. or any proposed leg
islation, OF course the cost Of such
project will be repaid and meanwhile
the added wealth yielded will tighten
the tax burdens upon all the taxpayers
Of the country

thoroughly organized with sufficient
foree and is ready to carry on any
work which such an enlightened policy
suggested might be assigned 10 1t In
reclamation or other development oi
our national resources"
Discussing the situation In Alaska
the interior secretary declares tht
resources Of that territory and "the
wealth TO be drawn therefrom in the
future are almost incalculable."
"Alaskas resources have not beer
developed for various reasons, among
others the lack OF transportation anC
largely because OF the fact that these
resources are administered through
some IS bureaus and various depart
ments Of this government. In my opin
ion authority to administer the laws
relative TO Alaska's natural resources
must be- vested In some one depart
ment OF this government that the ac
tivities charged with the administra

ordinated.

has as yet been made IL Is we'll known
