under the general jurisdiction of the
national park service to the end hat
harmony and effectiveness may char
acterize the administration Of the ma
| tons park areas"
Representative Carl Hayden of Ari-
IONA, speaking in the house In support
of the national monument estimate
Of $4,000 asked for by the national
park service. said among other things
| There are "a national monuments
under the jurisdiction of the national
| park service, and 1t Is not only vain
but foolish to expect that they can be
administered, protected, maintained,
preserved and improved at an average
annual cost of little over 5000 each,
as is provided by this Appropriation
of $4,000. The visitors to the casa
| Grande ruin increased from 1867 In
1919 to 1920 in 1920. But $4,000 has
been expended for the repair and ex-
cavation Of this Great House, built
by prehistoric race OF which the
present Indian tribes have no tradi-
tion ard which was found as a ruin
bv Father Kino, the Spanish explorer,
in 1894. The amount appropriated
will provide practically nothing but
the salary of the custodian.
"Montezuma's castle Is another ma
tional monument which Is sadly neg
lected and suffering from vandalism.
| "a custodian should likewise be ap-
| pointed for the Tumacacori mission,
which Is threatened with destruction

was buried there by the Spanish
priests. Unless an ample appropriation

1870 by Father Kino. will fall into
complete ruin. Over 5000 visitors in
spected this ancient mission last year.
Last year over 10000 people visited

ment and during the height Of the sea-
| son II Ia estimated that from one to

the park service was powerless to pre-
| vert.
II hope that in the future something
more substantial will be accomplished.
Al least $500 on the average should
be appropriated for the care Of the
national monuments. or total Of
5000"
The SO national monuments may be
thus classified: Prehistoric monu-
ments. IL; historic landmarks. g.; nat
uraI monuments, 20. This Is only a
beginning. The national monument
system should embrace important pre-
historic remains, historic landmarks
and areas illustrating the range Of
geological phenomena, fauna and flora
and picturesque scenery. These ma
tional monuments can be set aside
by presidential proclamation uLder the
act for the preservation of American
antiquities. And II we do not get
them soon. we shall not get them

There are 36 national monuments.
Twenty-four are under the Interior
department, 10 under the Agricultural
department and two under the War
department
The "a national monuments under
the Interior department were granted
an appropriation of but $4,000 for
the calendar year of 1921, Instead of
$4,000 asked by the national park
service. In 1920 the appropriation
was but $4,000 The result is that the
national park service is unable prop
erly to protect these monuments. to
say nothing Of improving them.
Unless the many desirable areas are
quickly made national monuments.
they will be destroyed by vaLdals. Yet
congress does not appropriate money
enough to protect those already Gre
ated.
The ACCESSIBILITY Of putting all the
national parks and monuments under

tor Stephen T. Mather Of the national
park service:
IAN Of the national park areas Of
the country are rot under the jurisdic-
ton Of the national park service, and
the time Is Mt hand when the national
