Roosevelt outlines reform of public land laws
President Roosevelt delivers a special message to Congress urging repeal of the timber and stone act and radical amendments to the desert land act. He advocates living on land for three years before patent, ending commutation, and tightening patrols to stop fraud. He calls for stronger land office examinations and expansion of forest reserves including railroad lands, with fair compensation to Indians and a plan for government control of grazing to protect settlers and range health.
