NATURALIZATION

After all, is Roosevelt right, or
are his critics? is he advocating
GENERALIZATION" as distinguished
from local self-government, or is he,
as he contends, simply assuming an
honest. logical position on a policy
to which we are already committed
and which is inevitable in the very
nature of government itself?
Our pretensions of nationality i'm
posed certain imperial burdens on
the federal government, and no dis
tribution of authority among the
units that compose it, would serve as
an excuse to any other nation for
the non-observance of those obliga-
tions.
The constitution from the very
beginning OF the government proved
to be an elastic instrument fit to
meet any emergency or condition.
New phases of industrialism pre-
scented themselves and the federal
government, without Mysteries on
the part Of anybody, sect, creed or
party, proceeded to take advantage
OF its authority over interstate COM
merce to enact drastic antitrust
laws; presumably based on the the
DRY that the states are unable to cope
with the great combinations. Pure
food laws. development of navigable
rivers, building Of post roads and
various other national enterprises are
further evidences of federal author
ity to NEEDLE in internal affairs.
Now. Roosevelt proposes certain
amendments to the antitrust law
necessary to make its provisions eff
fective. If the federal government
is endowed with authority to take
hand In the management of these
trusts, would 1t not be a mockery of
its assumption Of sovereignty 70 say
the governments power is limited
to anything short of the means nee
essary to the full and complete ao
complishment of its purpose?
This is what Roosevelt means
when, after making certain specific
recommendations, he says:
This does not mean that there
should be any extension of federal
authority. for such authority already
exists under the Constitution in amp
lest and most far-reaching form;
but It does mean that there should
be an extension of federal activity.

Bear Hunt In India.

The heaters arrived at a camp the
following morning. They began to
come in twos and threes. then in
fies and skies, and finally IN dozens.
so that by the time breakfast was
over the entire male population OF
some three villages were grouped
about my tent.
With the help OF the shikaris fifty
OF these we're selected and each re-
ceiyed a slip OF paper bearing my
signature, for when they came for
their wages at the end of the day,
did not wish their friends and rela-
tives as well az the beaters them
selves turning up for payment.
The din these fifty souls succeed
ed in making as they move in a long
line up the base and two sides of a
wooden nullah shrieking. bowling,
catealling. setting of fire crackers
and beating tomtoms IS enough to
drive any self-respecting bear out of
his senses.
An army of battle shouting der
wishes could hardly create greater
amount Of upf6ar. NOR is it at all
surprising that the bear should find
a pressing engagement elsewhere at
the earliest possible moment after
finding his nullah thus invaded. If
he grns down the nullah he en-
counters the invading army; IL he
tries to escapefby the sides he is met
and driven back by the heaters al

most natural thing In the world by
fleeing from the oncoming din.

Roosevelt recommends federal oc-
ton in a number of specific ways
from which other presidents refrain
ed but we must remember that he is
the first executive in a long while,
who has tried to enforce the laws
and had the opportunity to discover
what changes are really needed.
Here are a few of them:
1.-The congress has the power to
charter corporations to engage in in
terstate and foreign commerce, and
a general law can be enacted under
the provisions of which existing cor
porations could take out federal
charters and new federal corpora
tions could be created.
Moreover. in my judgment there
should be additional legislation look
ing to the proper control of the
great business concerns engaged In
interstate business. this control to
be exercised for their own benefit and
prosperity no less than for the pro-
lection of investors and of the gen.
eral public.
81 renew my previous recommend
alton that the congress favorably
consider the matter of creating the
machinery for compulsory investi-
cation of such industrial controvers-
les as are of sufficient magnitude
and of sufficient concern to the PEG
pie of the country as whole to
warrant the federal government in
taking action.
"The federal courts must of course
decide ultimately what are the re
spective spheres of state and nation
IN connection with any law, state or
national. and they must decide def
niteiy and finally in matters affect
ing Individual citizens. not only as
TO the rights and wrongs OF labor but
as to rights and wrongs of capital;
and the national government must
always see that the decision OF the
court is put into effect.
THE less of life and limb from
railroad accidents in this country has
become appalling. II is a subject of
which the national government
should take supervision. It might
be well to begin by providing for a
iederal inspection of interstate rail-
roads somewhat along the lines of
federal inspection of steamboats,, al
though not going so far.
'The national government has as
an ultimate resort for control of
child labor the use of the interstate
commerce clause TO prevent the pro-
ducts of child labor from entering
into interstate commerce. But be
fore using this it ought certainly TO
enact model laws on the subject for
the territories under its own imme-
date control.
Our great river systems should
be developed as national water high
ways: the Mississippi, with its tribu-
taries, standing first in Importance
and the Columbia second. although
there are many others of importance
on the Pacific, the Atlantic and the
gulf slopes. The national govern
ment should undertake this work.
and | hope a beginning will be made
in the present congress"
