Tho Mississippi valley la a magnificent empire in size and for- tlllty.

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.

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.
