Duty of Chief Executive to
"Guard the People Against
Predatory Interests, Says
Secretary of the Interior
in His Report.
(ImHiI Dispatch to Tb Journal.)
Washington, Jan. 4. The report of
the secretary of tba Interior was sub
mitted to congress today. In part tb
report 1 as follows:
During the fiscal year ended June
SO, 1908. there were entered 19,090,
856.78 acres of publio land, a decrease of
1,907,209.80 acres - over , the preceding
year. There were embraced in entries
oompleted during the year 8,068,044.86
ores which bad been reported In orig
inal entries made in previous years and
are act included In the above statement.
Entries of sll classes made last year
numbered 106,469, a decrease of I per
cent over the orecading year.
Total cash, receipts from the disposal
of lands during the last fiscal year were
$U,40,42.J8. Receipts from other
sources were 1126,888.18, making a to
tal of 818,716,709.46, or an increase of
10 per cent over the receipts of the pre
ceding year. Tho total expense of the
district land offices for salaries, com
missions, incidental expenses and cost
of depositing moneys during the last
rear was $848,118.46, an inorease of
81,286.49. The aggregate expenditures
and estimated liabilities of (he public
land service were 82,381,369.79. leaving
a net balance of f 10,334,349.67 In the
treasury.
Nine additional national forests were
created during the year and 1 reduced
in area.- There are 166 national forests
embracing 167,378,886 acres.
Conservation of Vatnral Xescmrees.
The movement forthe conservation of
our natural resources shows that the
people of the United States, have fully
awakened to the vital necessity of car
ing for what is left of the public do
main. Conservation means not only
preservation of our resources, but. as
well, their wise and immediate use and
the prevention of their misuse, whether
by way of waste or monopolistic ' and
speculative control.
The public domain has been placed by
congress under the Interior department,
and ample authority is vested In the
chief executive and the secretary of tbe
department to take such action as is
necessary to care - for the public do
main. Purina; many years the executive
has. in the exercise of this general au
thority, withdrawn at different times
and for various purposes areas of the
publio domain and for the time being
fTevemea mose areas rruia Being iu
ered for private use.
Pull nower under the constitution wai
vested In the executive branch of the
government, and the extent to which
that power may be exercised is gov
erned wholly by the discretion of the
executive, unless any specino aci nas
been prohibited either by tne consiuu
tlon or by legislation.
In the exercise of this power It Is the
duty of the executive to take such ac
tion as will protect the Interests of all
tba people of the United State 4 heir
property rights, and. if the occasion
requires and the facts warrant. It is the
duty ' of the executive to prevent the
acquisition of the public domain by
private interests iw such acquisition be
detrimental so me pudiic weirar.
. If there be no power to affirmatively
?rovlde for the ultimate use or aisposi
lon of the public domain in accordance
with the needs of the public welfare, It
Is the duty of the executive to tem
porarily prevent Its acquisition until
congress may have an opportunity to con
sider the question and adopt appropri
ate legislation.
This stewardship duty of the executive
Is most concretely manifest in the care
of the specific property known as the
public lands and their resources. From
the earliest days the executive has
found it necessary In the public in
terest to take action concerning the nub
ile lands by withdrawing areas from
entry. There was no specific provision
of .law for many of those withdrawals,
and yet they were made unhesitatingly
by the executive as steward and were
approved by congrss in acts granting
land for thepurpose for which It was
withdrawn. These were purely the acts
of stewards farslghted enough to fore
see and protect the interests of their
principal, the people of the United States.
President Roosevelt's withdrawal in
1906 or more than 60,000,000 acres of
land supposed to contain coal, in order
mat it mignt do ciassmea and savea ror
Its best use, and the recent withdrawal
of phosphate lands for the benefit of
our farms, are notable examples of the
exercise of this power in protecting the
publio use of our resources.
The courts have upheld the cower of
the executive to withdraw -public lands
not only roe pudiic use, nut also lor the
puDiic weirare.
Desert Land and Bry -T arming.
The development of dry farming and
the extension of Irrigated areas has
brought under, cultivation many thou
sands of acres of the public domain
that hitherto were considered practically
worthless. It is therefore necessary to
very carefully consider how the remain
ing portions of the public domain should
be used. I think It clear that the re
maining lands should be classified in
accordance with the general plan out-

lined in the report of the commissioner
of the general land office. Under such
a classification the government could
readily provide means for the disposi
tion of these lands In such manner as
to afford to the homemaker the oppor
tunity te acquire the necessary kind and
quantity of land. The homestead law
Is not applicable to much of the balance
of the publio domain. If the land is
irrigated a much smaller amount than
1(0 acres may be acquired. If it is dry
Terming, more than lo acres may do
required. It 1 probable In certain sec
tions, wnere ary larming is leasiDie,
that residence UDon the land itself will
not be possible because of the absence
of potable water. It may thus be nec
essary and wise to permit the cultivators
of such areas io live in communities
some miles distant from the farms and
base final proof upon cultivation and
actual residence in the neighborhood. In
other words, it s unwise to attempt to
apply to these areas now under consid
eration the laws that were applioable
to a totally airrerent Kind or lands.

Springs. This reservoir is formed by
building an earthen dam about 100 feet
high across a drv ravine. This dam
was completed in the early part of
1908. The reservoir thus formed has a
capacity of about 50.000 acre feet. The
outlet canal and distribution system
were built mainly by contract, and about
7000 acres were placed under water in
1908. A larger area will be available in
1S09, probably about 10,000 acres. The
projecttntemplates the reclamation of
about ZQ.000 acres.

a ELMHURST In
One if the most dellehtful lecture tn
Which It has ever beee ray privilege
to listen, was given by M. Rene Basin,
the great French novelist, last welek in
Uonaon. ,
Mr. Basin took for his subject the
French peasantry.
He deplored the absence ef the edu
cated classes from the country.
He said that a visit of a fe months
was worth absolutely nothing, but that
the man who lived on his estate In the
country, who, was the friend and ad
visor of his neighbors, was a force fo
be reckoned with, and that if he were a
sound man he was a real influence fur
good.
fie said that It was impossible to un
derstand the French peasant or any
other peasant by running down to the
countryside for a few weeks, to col
lect facts for literary purposes, that one
had to live the peaceful, monotonous,
restricted existence in order to make
friends, and that to get at the heart
ef the peasant you required something
more than curiosity you must love
him if you would understand him? - -
He emphasised the fact that a woman
in France was undoubtedly the mistress
ef the house, and commanded great re
spect, that she shared the knowledge
and the" Interest of her -husband, and
wan 4n this respect a rwal partner.
Tou might be mistaken as to this."
