LEASING OF COAL LAND IS ADVOCATED Gratlag Lead Iheald Re Leased and Management Placed la Hands ef Western Men Familiar with aitaatlva. WASHINGTON. Feb. IS.-Presldent Roosevelt today sent to congress a long message calling attention to what he terms the "urgent need of legislation In the United States." He advocates the con servation of coal end other fuel resources on land still belonging to the government, saying that henceforth the nation should retain Its title to Its fuel resources, with a system of small grating fees, etc., snd ask for an appropriation of 8500,000, im mediately available, in addition to the present estimates, to aid In detecting and preventing land frauds. He contends for a system of government leasing of Its mineral lands and for treating these fuel lands as public utilities. v The president points out (hat it would have been better If some eaatern coal lands had been left under government control and suggests provision In the west "against recurrence of the conditions we deplore in the east," citing 2.300 cases of public land entries In four districts mentioned, the president says non-compliance with the law was found In over half of them and de liberate fraud In very many cases. The president first refers to his previous message to congress on the subject and again calls attention to the Importance of leglslstlon as would provide for title to and development of the surface land as separate and distinct from the right to the underlying mineral fuels In reglans where these may occur and the disposal of those mineral fuels under a leasing system on conditions which would Inure to the bene fit of the public as a whole. . , System, Kot Details. He says hs care little for the details and thst the prime need Is that the system should be established. The message In part, says: Such a leasing system ss that proposed represents by no means an untried policy. In the Australian countries during the last fifteen years coal has been mined under a system of government leases, and on con ditions so favorable for development that their coal and coke are today being sold on the Pacific coast of both the American continents. In all the great coal producing European countries, except Great Britain, coal Is being mined under government leases. In Great Britain leases are granted almost entirely by the private land owners. nut mere, ss in other countries, me sur face culture and the mining operations are conducted Independently of each other. In BcoUa, British Columbia. India and other British colonies, a government leasing sys tem has been adopted and Is working satla- laciomy. in me t nitea mates, aiinousu conveyance of the mineral right witn tne surface has been common practice, me separate development of the two Interests Is Increasing; and In the eastern and middle states a large part of the coal is Deing mined under a system of private leasea It Is gratifying to note that In these states, as In foreign countries, agriculture snd mining sre roudticted within the same boundaries, and the country thus attains Its highest dual aeveiopment witnout con flict nf Interests. Indeed, the mining In dustry, and the factories using these fuels, create large local markets for the products of the farm. Fael a Pa bile rtlllty. Mineral fuels, like the forests and navi gable streams, should be treated as public Utilities, inis IB generally rwiiniro hrnii In some forelrn countries prac tical control of a large portion of the fuel resource was allowed years ago to pass tntn nrivate hands, but the existing gov ernments are endeavoring to regain this control In order that the aimtnisning luei supply may be safeguarded for the com mon good Instead of being disposed of for the benefit of the few though the mistake of the preceding generation in disposing of these fuels for a nominal return cannot al ways be corrected by the present genera tlon, as the cost may be so enormous ai to be orohibltorv. In our -own western states and territories the scarcity of boih water and forgets has rendered necessary tneir preservation as public utilities and the preservation of the forests for the purpose of conserving both the waters and the timber supply has come to be recogntzeo as tne wise ana DroDer policy of the federal government. The quantity of high grade mineral fuels in the west Is relatively mucn smaller than that of the forests and the proper conservation of these fuels Is a matter of far-reaching Importance. This government I should not now repeat the mistakes of the past. Let us not do wrist the next genera tion cannot undo. We have a right to the ! proper use of both the forests and the fuel during our lifetime, but we should not dispose of the birthright of our children. If this government sells its remaining fuel lands they pass out of Its future control. If It now leases them we retain control and a future congress will be at liberty to decide whether it will continue or change this policy. Meanwhile the govern ment can Inaugurate a system which will encourage the separate and independent development of the surface lands for agri cultuial purposes and the extraction of the mineral fuels In such manner as will beet meet the needs of the people and best fa cilitate the development of manufacturing industries. Objeetloaa te System. I am aware that objections to this sys tem are being urged. It Is claimed that so large a part of the coal In some of the western states has already passed Into the hands of certain large corporations that parties endeavoring to operate under a lease system other coal deposits would be unable to compete with these corporations, and therefore that the fuel deposits still belonging to the government should also be allowed to pass Into private ownership, presumably into the hands ef the sams or other large corporations. It is also claimed that reservation of the fuel supplies still belonging to the government would raise the price of coal in the west, and ss an argument in favor of this contention It is claimed that the reservation of the natural forests is raising the pries of lumber in the west. It should be remembered that the best and most accessible bodies of tim ber in the west passed Into private hold ings before the forest reserves were estab lished; that while the price of timber hat advanced In the west, it has advanced still more in the east, where there are no forest reserves; that supplies of timber are today being shipped from ths west to the mar kets of the Mississippi valley, and even to foreign countries; and that the probability of obtaining future supplies of both timber and mineral fuel In the west st reasonable prices will be much greater with a large portion of both the forests and ths fuels under the control of ths government than If this control should pass to private par ties. To secure cheapness of timber and fuel for the moment at the cost of ruin to our own children would surely be a sui cidal policy. Advantages ef System. It may be fairly claimed among the ad vantages of the leasing system that: (1) It will facilitate the working, under favor able conditions, of coal deposits for local markets by miners without large capital, aa no land purchase money would be reaulred and the small royalty charges would be paid out of the earnings; (Z It will facili tate larger nperationa, as the leases could be made sufficiently liberal In the matter of time, area and other conditions, tu in- RAILWAY TIME CARD"01"1'""- BIHUjuTOI STATloa- 101 MASOJ narllagtea.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., A TLANTA, CAm duce healthy competition and meet all de mands; and yet In all rases the general supervision of the government could be such as to (8l prevent waste In the extrac tion and handling of these fuels; 4i the system can be operated in such manner as to prevent the evils of monopolistic con trol; i It will permit the government to reserve from general control fuels espe cially suitable for metalluriglcal and othr special industries: and (61 It will enable the government to protect ine puuuc agains: unreasonable and discriminating charges for fuel supplies. Already Drobabiy one-nair or tne total area of the high grade coals In the west has passed under private control. Includ ing both the lignite and the coal areas, these private holdings probably aggregate rot less than 80.tKO.0u0 acrea of coal fields. With the remainder of the lands contain ing mineral fuels reserved and leased by the government, there will be ample op portunity to determine In the near future which of the two systems private owner ship, or the leasing system with g'neral government supervision will best protect the Interests of the people and thus pro mote the permanent development of tho west. Government Shoald Be Geacroas. In planning such a leasing system by the government, the question of revenue beyond that necessary to cover the ex penses of administration and exploration, need not be seriously considered. The spirit ot generosity which the country ss a whole has shown in connection with the disposal of its public lands and the us of the proceeds from the sale of these lands for the further development of the west through the reclamation service end other In other ways. Is of tts-lf a sufficient guarantee that In the administration of both the coal reserves and the national forests, this generous policy will be con tinued. It is safe to believe also that fed eral supervision of both the coal lands and the forests will be reduced to a minimum and that in the future even more than in the past this supervision will be limited to that necessary to carry out the policy ot conserving these natural resources in such manner as will best promote the perma nent Interests of the people, and, above all, of ths western people and the people in the neighborhood of the mines and the forests which we seek to preserve for the public use. The necessity for care In the future man agement of these fuel supplies Is further Illustrated by the rapid rate at which the use of such fuels Is increasing In use. This remarkable development and the cer tain continuity of this prodigious growth, compels us to recast all estimates as to the life of our "Inexhaustible Tf sources." We can foresee the time when Jhe eastern industries will be much more largely taxed for supplying foreign markets. It would surely be greatly to the ad vantage of this country if some at least of ths coal fields of the east and espe cially of. the anthracite fields, hsd been left under the control of the government. Let us provide in the west against the recurrence of the conditions which we de plore in the east. At the outset the law would be sdratnlstered In a spirit of the broadest liberality, with the least possible Interference with the development of the coal fields. Moreover. I cannot too em phatically say that all laws a-hlch merely seek to prevent monopoly or the mishand ling of the public by forbidding combina tion are certain to fall of their purpose. One experience with Interstate commerce and anti-trust laws shows that what ts nerded Is not prohibition f all combina tions, but such supervision and control over combinations, and over corporations enter ing into them, as will prevent the evils while giving to the public the advantages of combination. Coatrol ef Paatare Lands. Let me also agnln urge that legislation be passed to provide for government con trol of the pasture lands of the west nr. the same general principles which now apply In the government control of the forest reserves. The local control of the range should be In the hands of wester, men familiar with stock raising and there should be full local participation in the management of the range. There is no need st present that the sovernment should get a net revenue from grating on the public range, but only enoutrh to pav for administration and lmnrovement. and it may be wise to provide that any surplus shall go to the states and territories In which the fees sre collected. Let me urge that congress provide IWiO.OOO tn addition to the present estimates, to be immediately anDronriated to the rlesrine of arrears of business lit the general land : o tTtce aa regards the detection and preven tion of fraud in disposing of applications for patents to the public lands. I wish to express my utter and com plete dissent from the ststements tht have been made as to there being but a minimum of fraud Ir. the actual working of our present land laws. I am exceed ingly anxious to protect the Interests of bona fide settlers and to prevent hardship being inflicted upon them. But surely we are working In their Interests when we try to prevent the land which should be re served for them snd for those like them, from being tskrn possession f for specu lative purposes or obtained in any fraudu lent rasnion. The president says ths present force of sceclal agents Is utterly Insufficient to conduct the proper field examinations, but adds that In six months, ending December 81 last, they secured Indictments In 197 sctlons for fraud, twenty-six of which have been tried, resulting in fourteen convic tions and twelve acquittals. In the forest reserves, where we have been able to ex amine a great number of claims, he adds, In about one-third the law was not com plied with. The message concludes: From the standpoint of the public Inter est, failure to prevent fraud of this kind ia peculiarly serious, because In so many cases the success of the fraudulent cltim. ant means ths prevention of the establish ment of a home by some homeseeker. The earnest wish of tha administration Is tn discontinue the advertisement of fraud In connection with the public land system, but the only way to accomplish this is by putting a stop to the fraud itself. Modiaeattoa ef Order. President Roosevelt today told Repre sentative Bteenerson of Minnesota, that he made a -modi Oca Uoa of hia suspension order of January II, relating to entries on public lands which would except from ths opera tions ot ths order all homestead proofs on ceded Indian lands where there are deferred paymenta. The exceptions to the operation f the general order muds by the president does not. in the opinion of the Northwestern representatives, go far enough and they continue la their efforts to obtain further concessions. Messrs. Burke and Martin, of South Dakota, also saw ths president today pn this subject. Davis Reports oa Waterway.
