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.” Johnson’s Bond !a Extended.

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.
