I'rges Change in Land Laws.
Washington, Dec. 18. The follow
ing is the message In part of Presi
dent Roosevelt on the subject ol
public land laws, sent to Congress
yesterday. .
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
The developments of the past ycai
emphasize with Increasing force the
need of vigorous and Immediate ao
tlon to recast the public land laws
and adapt them to the actual situa
tion. The timber and stone act hai
demonstrated conclusively that Its
effect Is to turn over the public tim
ber lands to great corporations. It
has done enormous barm. It Is nc
longer needed and It should be re
pealed.
The desert land act results so fre
quently In fraud and comparatively
seldom In making home on the land
that It demands radical amendments
That provision which permits assign
ment before patent should be re
pealed and the entryman should be
required to live for not less than two
years at home on the land before
patent Issues. Otherwise the desert
land law will continue to aUt spec
ulators and other largo h.iUcrs to
get control of land and water on the
public domain by IndefenflMe means.
The commutation clfluso of the
homestead act itself, in a majority ot
cases, to deler.i the purj)03e of thf
homestead act Ita.'tf, r.hlch is to i
cilltnte settlement and create homes.
In theory tho commutation ciaii:--
should assist the honest sct:ler, ar.(.
In the Important duties of (hes
trades. Under the u resent archaic
aystem of promotion, without paral
lel in the navy of any other flrat
clasa power, captains are commis
sioned at the average age of 56 and
rear-admirals at the average age of
60. This system Is the result of a
long-continued prejudice In favor ot
a method of promotion by which all
lleutenanta in order to seniority pass'
through the several grades until they
eventually become rear-admiral, a
method which sacrifices the good ot
the service to the Interest of Indi
vidual mediocrity. As a direct con
sequence of the existing method nav
al officers obtain more tbaa ample
service In subordinate position, bat
have a limited and inadequate ex
perience, as captains In command of
battleships a flag officers In charg
ot fleet and squadrons; that la, la
tb very position of greater respon
sibility, where experience, skill aat
Initiative are essential to effldeasy.
With tbe close of tbe present year.
he people of the United Statea may
have good reason to be thankful and
proud of what baa been aohieved. The
bIx leading cereals reach the almost
Incomprehensible total of 1,b1,000,000

should appear v'er to re;eal the
commutation clause altogi'ther.
I am gravely concerne:! at the ex
tremely unsatisfactory condition ol
the public lar-d laws arul at tile prev
alence of fraud under their pres-nt
provisions. For much of this fraud
the present laws are chiefly respon
sible. There Is but one way by which
the fraudulent acquisition of these
lands can be .definitely stopped a:ii
therefore I have directed the Secre
tary of the interior to allow no pat
ent to be issued to patent landi nndcr
any law until an examination on the
ground actually In compliance lih
that law hr.s b-j?n found to exist. For
this purpose an incrense of special
agents in the Land OHlce Is urnentn
