ASKS FOR $100,000,000 TO
CUT COST OF LIVING.
Secretary Lane Believes In Developing
Arid Sections of West.
Recommendations for an appropria
tion of J 100.000.000 to develop arid sec
tions of the west will l>e made by the
secretary of the interior as u result of
his two months’ tour of insertion,
from which he has just returned to
Washington.
Secretary Lane believes that the cost
of living can be reduced by developing
the country west of the Missouri river,
and it is his intention to urge this pol
icy us one of the big strokes of the
Wilson administration. He called at
the White House on his return and in
u general way outlined his scheme to
the president, but he expects to formu
late plans for a message to congress
oon the subject.
The general plan of Mr. Lane is to
revive the “Go west, young man.*’ ad
vice. and to this end he will urge that
congress make the undeveloped parts
of tlie west attractive. ’ He said that
he would make specific recommenda
tions for the expenditure of $100,000.-
000 on irrigation projects, but had not
deckled whether he would ask for a
direct appropriation by congress or
work out some other plan, although he
did mot believe that private enterprises
could achieve the results.
Incidental to Mr. Lane's plan to de
velop the west is a government owned
railroad to penetrate Alaska, He said
that there should Ik? an overland route
to Alaska and that the returns from an
expenditure for this purpose would be
many fold.
“The price of meat is a burden to the
United States at present, but it is pos
sible to reduce the price by developing
tUae west/ 1 " said Mr. Lane. “Other
Commodities can be reduced in tlve
same way. as less than 2,per cent of
the government land made available
*>y irrigation projects is now in use.”
Mr. Lane believes that within live
years there vwuld be a complete return
of .$100,000,000 spent on irrigation and
reclamation projects.
“My Wen is to turn the eye of the
nation on the west, so that its wonder
ful advantages and possibilities may
be seen.” said the secretary. “I am
convinced that the cost of living can
be reduced if we take advantage of
the resources of the west. I intend
to spend two or three months each
year out there and believe I will be
able to demonstrate that the ‘Go west
young man.' advice is still good gos
pel.”

URGES WOMEN TO REGISTER.
Jana Addams For Impressive Turnout
at Aldermanio Election.
A big registration of women voters,
when the polls open in Chicngo next
spring, is the object of n co-operntlng
committee of all the large local suf
frage organizations Just formed in that
city. The suffragists met at the call of
Miss Jane Addams
The women will work along non
partisan lines and the present inter
est in voting among women will be
utilized.
“There is a groat responsibility on us.”
Miss Addams told the women. “We
are the first large city in the world to
have suffrage. It has been tried out
in San Francisco and Denver, but the
result in Chicago will mean much
more. A large registration of women
at the alder manic election will do more
to turn the anti-suffragists than any
other thing we can do.”
As quickly as possible headquarters
will be established in every ward and
it is proposed to use the schools for
this purpose.

URGES CO-OPERATION IN
BUILDING OF HIGHWAYS.
Stats and Federal Government* Should
Work Together, Say* Hou*ton.
Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture says the state and
federal governments should work to
gether for highway Improvement In
order that a large proportion of the
money annually spent for road con
struction may not be wasted.
In his own department the office of
public roads has been demonstrating
the value of proper road 'building by
the construction of certain object les
son roads, and the forest service is
carrying out his Idea of national and
state co-operation in road building.
The law requires that 10 per cent of
the gross receipts from the national
forests shall be spent in the states In
which the forests are situated. This
money Is expended for road improve
ments under direct control of the sec
retary of agriculture. ' ->*•
The amount appropriated under this
act based on the receipts of the na
tional forests for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1913. is $234,(138.(!3. From
the 1012 receipts for this 10 per cent
road item there is an additional $134.-
831.10. wlii-’t is still available.
In administering the 10 per cent road
fund forest officers charged with the
actual pUms arid expenditures In the
neighborhood of their forests have, in
almost al! cases, secured an equal or
a larger co-operative fund from state
authorities for the building of certain
pieces of road.
With tlie money thus expended many
important roads are being built or put
in repair. One on the Wyoming na
tional forest, six miles long, makes
accessible to fanners a large body of
timber and opens up a region of great
scenic beauty, iu northwegte.ni Arizo
na part of the fund will be used In
connection vyltjj the Fevre-Bright
Angel road. Important because It
makes accessible to tourists the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado. In one place
the ocean to ocean highway crosses
the Apache national forest, Arizona.'
and on this project the forest service
and the local authorities cp-operated
enthusiastically. On the Florida na
tional forest In western Florida steel
bridges and graded roads have, under
the stimulus of this fund, taken thd
place of corduroy, bog and sand.
This federal road fund Is how ttvalb
able In all national forest states of thfe
west. Just as fast as returns come in,
the forestry officials say. a similar
fund will become available In states in
which eastern national forests are be
ing secured. (
