 As said, law can do soruethjnx. wiu. legislation. wise administration of fhs government can do something. If you have bad laws badly administered they will spoil any prosperity. It is easy enough to get bad law that will etoo the whole business. but to get a good law 1t Is not so easy. It is easy to slt outside and say how the man insida should run the machine but 1t Is not so easy to go outside and run the macntn& yourself.
 This prosperity to which we have d. tained. has been reached under a seris& of economic moves included in a system through carrying out certain ideas tn the currency and in the tariff. We cannot afford to reverse the system. Improve ment can be made in 1t. In the tarfx for instance, schedules are not sacred and as the needs Of the nation chanxa and shift 1t will be necessary to change certain schedules to meet those shiftinG needs"

 The President Speaks.
 Fellow Citizens:-There are many. many lesser problems which go to make up lems of our modern industrial life. Bach of these problems is. moreover. connect- ed with many of the others. Few indeed are simple or stand only by themselves. The most important are those connecteA with the relation of the farms, the stoeA raisers and soil tiliers, to the community between employer and employed. In a country like ours it is fundamentally tru4 that the well-being of the tiller of the n Of I'd fa fa ar yzyeit we need concern ourselves but little as tS how other classes stand. for they will tf- evitably be well or, too; and. on the othek perity unless based on the foundation ag the prosperity of the wage-worker and the tiller of the soil.
 But the needs of these two classes arc often not the same. The tiller of the soil has been of all our citizens the one on the whole the least affected in his ways 0e industrial changes of the last haIf cell- tury. There has been change with hins too, of course. He also can work to best advantage If he keeps in close touch with his fellows; and the success of the nar tional Department of Agriculture has shown how much can be done for him bY national action of the government. Nor ju it only through the department that the can act One of the greateA4 and most beneflcient measures passed bY the last Congress, or indeed by any Con- gress in recent years. Is the irrigation act which will do for the State of the great plains and the Rocky Mountain region 4e least as much as ever has been done for the States of the humid region by river and harbor Improvements Few measures that have been put upon the statuta books of the nation have done more foF the people than this law will, firmly be- lieve. directly and indirectly accomplish for the States in question.
