TAKT ON CONSERVATION Preside nt Sends Special Message to Congreit on Subject. KEFEKS TO LAND OFFICE HOW President T?ft Would Usu? Bonds to Deepen Mi??i??ippi V*lley Waterway*. Washington, D. C-? President Taft sont to congress another apodal mes sage, tii i a time dealing with tho con servation. of the nutlon's reaourcea. lio urg"S the continuation of the UooBevelt policies, and payri tribute to hla predecessor tor hia part in starting the movement. Baaing lua recommendations espe cially on those contalued In the rt. port of Secretary oT the Interior Uai linger and declaring th'A present laws luuuequaie, Mr. lull asaa prompt measures to save tiie nation .a. re sources. Ho recommends a bond is sue of 530, uuo uwo lor tfae reclamation Of arid lands, the bonds to run 14 years or more and the proceeds to bo applied to the completion ot the projects already taken up and tiielr extension. Hfcntals from \vater mt^a would, ho believes, aid in clearing the debt. To Safeguard Water Powori, lie also urges a careful survey ot the river improvement work, partic ularly regarumg the Mississippi, In the hope that it may be puoiioii still further eventually. The deepening oi the Ohio and the Missouri, now under wty, suould be pushed, he holds. The message also urges laws to safeguard the nations water power. Although the message Is of especial significance in regard to the long dit. pute between uncord PinChot, late chief forester, and Secretary Hallin ger, the president mentions that con troversy but briefly, declaring thai tlio results of the congressional in quiry into the case are not. needed to determine the value of tho ne\* legislation he urgea. Improvement of the Mississippi. One of tho principal recommuuda tioivu of t::e message ia the careful consideration of the Improvement ot tho Mississippi and the pusning oi the work if it is round~Justlhable. Referring to the present situation of tho puollc lands President Tail makes tnis startling statement: "The truth is tnat. tiue to millions of acres ov public lands was irauda- . lently obtr.imd and that the right tu recover a large part ol such lands to/ tho, government long since ce.tuo.l b> reason of statutes ot lunitatioi:;;.'' Later on, returning to tne mega: holding (u lands ngnttully tue na tion s and lticrring specuicaiiy, ai tuough without mention 01 names, to the lands involved 111 the lia. linger* Pine-hut d:.sp .to ? the Cunningnam AlasKa coal land claims ? he says: The Cunningham Coal Lends. "The invt fallacious into violation* of the puLlic land laws and trie prosecution, as uas been tne witi:* druwal ol coal lanes tor class ideation and valuation and tiie temporar> withholding of power sites. " The present ti-tutes, exccpt those that relate to purely agricultural lands or those containing precious metals, are, says u:e president, 'not adapted to cairy out the modern view of tho best uispositlon oi public lands to private ownership." Turning to tue nuw laws he be lieves necessary, ho declares that li is tho duty ot congress to validate the withdrawals w inch have been made by tne secretary of tho interioi and the president and to authorise the secrotary temporarily to with draw lanas pending submission to congress ot recommendations as to legislation to meet conditions oi emergencies as they arise. Should Classify Lands. "One of the most pressing needs ol public land rei'orm," he says, "Is that lands should be classified according to their principal value or use." It was on this point that tao Bal linger-Finchot row hung, as the for mer chief forester maintained that the government's conduct in tho lit igation over the Cunningham claims, was intended to thwart the United States from securing the full value of the Alaskan coal clatms, which tho claimants wished to secure at a nom inal valuo not based on tneir coal value strictly. The moans for accomplishing this end, holds the president, is Ihrougn tho Interior department and its branch, the geological survey. "Much of the contusion, fraud and contention which has existed in the past has arisen from lack of an otll cial aud determinative clasBltlcation, asserts the message. Conserve Phosphate Deposits.

"The oxteut of too value of phos phate Is hardly realized," bays the message, declaring thai thts staple for fertilizers will undoubtedly besought by monopolists. This is of timely in terest In connection with the protest of the United States to (ieriuany re garding 'he latter s proposed law reg ulating the production or phosphates. ' Balking a Water Trust. Tho prevention of a water trust Is possible, says the message, Ly set ting the term of control ot water f;ltcs by private capita.1 at 30 years and providing In the leases l>? tne government against a monopoly. The presldont would havo renewal privi leges given, but declares that while the government retains control com petition must be retained ami prices lU-pt reasonable. "The Importance of tho mainte nance of our forestB cannot be exag gerated," Mr. Taft holds, pointing out that CbtJ national reserves comprise 19V.UUO.OOO acres. He urges sclent i tic care, to Increase the production of lumber, without reduelng me supply 011 the ground. Bonds to Deepen Ohio and Mississippi The president recommends tbip con tinuation of the Oi>io fiver deepening, which Is expected to cost $o3,00iv ULO. Tho president sta;os that the work can be done in ten years, and says that if necessary he will latex recommend bonds to carry 011 the pro ject. He also demands the continued improvement of tho Mississippi Irotu St. Paul to St. Louis, a six foot deptn, and of the Missouri from Kansas City <o St. Ix)uls to six feet, and from St. Louis to Cairo to eight leet.
