a magnificent empire in size and for-
tlllty. It Ib better adapted to tho
development of Inland navigation
than 'any othor valley In elthor horn

IniBlnosB to rpo that tho decline is

to remember that nearly n contury

Tlio Heart of the Country.
Such being tho case and this val
ley bolng literally the heart of tho
United States, all that concerns Its
welfaro must concern likewise tho
whole country. THKRKFORK, THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND ITS
TRIBUTARIES OUGHT IJY ALL
MEANS TO RE UTILIZED TO
THEIR UTMOST POSSIBILITY.
FACILITY OF CHEAP TRANSPOR
TATION IS AN ESSENTIAL IN
OUR MODERN CIVILIZATION,
AND WE CAN NOT AFFORD ANY
LONGER TO NEGLECT THE
GREAT HIGHWAYS WHICH NA
TURE HAS PROVIDED FOR US.
Those nnturnl highways, the water
ways, can never bo monopolized by
any corporation. They belong to all
tho people, and It Is in tho power or
no ono to take them away. WHER
EVER A NAVIGABLE RIVER
RUNS BESIDE RAILROADS THK
PROBLEM OF REGULATING THE
RATES ON THE RAILROAD BE
COMES FAR EASIER, BECAUSE
RIVER REGULATION IS RATE
REGULATION. When tho water

foro it Is of national Importance to
dovelop theso streams ns .highways
to tho fullest extent which Is genu
inely profitable. Year by voar trans
portation problems become mor
acuto, and tho tlmo litis come when
the rivers really fit to servo as artor

Whllo tliKH the 'improvement of
Inland navigation U n vital problem,
thero nre other questions of no .leas
consequence connected with our
waterways. Ono of those relates to
the purity of waters used for tin
supply or towns and cities, to the
prevention or pollution by mnnufnf
luring and other Industries, nod to
the protection or dralnago area
from soil wash through forest cov
orlug or Judicious cultivation. With
our constant,) increasing population
this queitloii becomes more nnd
moro pressing, because the heal h
and safety or great bodies of citi
zens are directly Involvod.
Another Important group of ques
tions concorno the Irrigation of arid
lands, the prevention of Hoods, and
the roclanintlou or swnmps. Al
ready many thousands or homes
hnve boon established on tho nrld
regions, and tho population and
wealth or seventeen stntes and tor
rltorles have been largely Increased
through irrigation. Yot" this means
of national development U still In
Its Infancy, and li will doubtloss
long continue to multiply homes and
increase tho productiveness and
power or the nntlon. Tho reclama
tion of overflow lands and marshes,
both In the Interior and along tho
coasts, has already boon cnrrled on
with admirable results, but In this
field, too. scarcely moro than n J
good beglnlng has yot been made.
Still another fundamentally Impor
tant question Is that or wator power.
Is a significance n tho ruture devel
opment or our whole country, Jind
especially or tho wont, Is but Just
beginning to bo understood. The
plan of the city of Los Angeles, for
example, to bring water for Its uso
a distance or nearly 250 uilliw per
haps the boldost project ot tho kind
In modern tlmoa promises not only
to achieve Its purpose, hut In addi
tion to produce n water powor suffi
ciently valuable to pay large Inter
est on the Investment of over $23.
ooo.ooo. Hitherto such opportunities for
using wator to double purpose have
not always beeti seized. Thus It has
recently been shown that water
enough la Mowing unused ovor gov
ernment danifl, built to Improvo
navigation, to produce many hun
dreds of thousands of horsopowor.
It Is computed that the value of the
availably but unused wnter. power In
the United States oxcoeds the an
nual value of the products of all
our mlnos. Furthermore. It la cal
culatcd that undor Judicious hand
ling tho powor of our streams may
bo niudo to pay for all the works re
quired for tho completo development
and control ot
ways.
Land.M for tlfa People.
Our public lands, whoso highest
use Is to supply homes for our peo
ple, have boon and aro still being
taken In great quantities by Inrgo
prlvato owners, to whom homo-making
Is nt the very boat but a second
ary motive fliibordlnnto to the de
sire ror profit. TO ALLOW THE
PUBLIC LANDS TO BE. WORKED
BY THE TENANTS OF RICH MEN
FOR THE PROFIT OF THE LAND
IORDS, INSTEAD OF BY FREE
HOLDERS FOR THE LIVELIHOOD
OF THEIR WIVES AND CHIL
DREN. IS LITTLE LESS THAN A
CRIME AGAINST OUR PEOPLE
AND OUR INSTITUTIONS. The.
great central rnct or tho public land
situation, as the public lands com
mission woll snld, Is that tho amount
or public Inud patented by tho gov
ernment to Individuals Is Increasing
out ot all proportion to the number
or now homes. It Is cloar beyond
per-ndventuro that our natural re
sourcos have boon and arc still bo
tug abused, that continued abuse
will destroy them, and thnt we have
nt last reached tho forks or tho
road. Wo aro race to raco with tho
great fact that the wholo future of
tho nntlon Is directly at stake In tho
momentous decision which Is forced
upon us. Shall wo continue the
waste and destruction or our natur
al resourcos, or shall we conservo
