Question: Who first signed the Dec laration of Independence? Question: Which river flows one di rection half of the year and the opposite direction the other half? AMEN'I) THE LAND LAWS. Pioneer Press: A great deal of at-, tention is being bestowed, in various quarters, on the "problem" presented by the growing deficit in the national revenues. "Either more taxes or a curtailment in expenditures" is the al ternative usually recognized. In fact, however, the means are right at hand for repairing the deficit without a re sort to either remedy. Congress, by its inaction on the recommendations of President Roosevelt and his predecessor for a repeal of our pernicious land laws has in the past four years flung away enough revenue to have made good the threatened $50,000,000 deficit several times over. James J. Hill, in a recent address, calls attention to the fact that the pub lic lands were being gobbled up by "lumber kings and cattle barons" at the rate of 22,659,928 acres a year only a handful of actual settlers being included in the distribution. The figure was for 1903, and as the absorption has increased since then, it is fair to esti mate the number of acres squandered in three years at probably 75,000,000. A great part of this land was given away outright under provisions of the homestead act, the stone, and timber act and the desert land act. The rest was sold at $1.25 or $2.50 per acre. Vast amounts of this land were cov ered with valuable timber, making it worth from $10 to $50 or $75 per acre. And scarcely an acre of it, after it passed into private ownership, could be bought for less than double the price paid to the government. The timbered land, parted with for a song, could not be repurchased for less than ten times the price paid the government. But had the government received even one dollar per acre additional for those 75, 000,000 acres, and could it receive the same additional dollar on the sales of 1905, the treasury would today have bulged with a big addition to its sur plus and all anticipations of a deficit for the current year would have van ished.
