Gifford Pinchot expresses his concerns on public lands, land settlement, and land reclamation in this memorandum. He proposes “better administration” by reorganizing the Department of the Interior and “better law” by repealing the Timber and Stone Act, revising the Homestead Law, and improving agricultural prospects on desert land through several proposed measures by the Department of Agriculture.
