waterways alone. There is an Intimate re-
ment and conservation OF all the other great
permanent sources of wealth. It Is not pos
sihle rightly to consider the one without the
waterways could hope to be successful which
failed to consider also the remaining fac
tors In the great problem OF conserving all
our resources. Accordingly. have asked
tbs waterways Commission to take account
of the orderly development and conservation.
not alone OF the waters, but also of the soil,
the forests, the mines, and all the other
natural resources OF cur country.
Many of these RESOURCES which VIC have
been in the habit OF calling inexhaustible
arc being rapidly exhausted. or in certain
re gions have actually disappeared. Coal
mines. oil and gas fields, and iron mines in
important numbers are already worked out.
The coal and oil measures which remain are
passing rapidly. or have actually passed. Into
tho possession OF great corporations who ac-
Quire ominous power through an unchecked
control OF these prime necessities OF modern
life. control without supervision OF any
kind, We are consuming our forests three
times faster than they are being reproduced.
Some OF the richest timber lands of this
continent have already been destroyed. and
NOT replaced. and other vast areas arc on the
mines. can be so handled as to yield the best
results of use, without exhaustion. just like
grain fields.
Conserve Natural Resources.
AS have said elsewhere the conservation
OF natural resources is tho fundamental
problem. Unless we solve that problem 1t
Will avail us little to solve all others. To
!aclva 1t. tho whole nation must undertake
the task through their organizations and as
scciations, through the men whom they
have made specially responsible for the vel
faro OF the several states. and finally
through Congress and the Executive. AS a
pr climinary step. the Inland Waterways
Commission has decided. with my full ap-
proved, to call n conference on the conserva-
ton OF natural resources. including. OF
course. the streams. to meet in Washington
during the coming winter This conference
ought to be among the most important gath
erlLgs In our history. for mono have had a
more vital questionl4to consider. sl
III conclusion. friends let me impress upon
you one thing Good laws can do much
good: indeed, they are often Indispensable.
There is urgent need that we should have
honest and efficient Legislation and honest
and efficient action by those whose province
i. Is to put the Legislation into effect. But
there Is infinitely more need OF q high In
tdlvidual average of character. Tho only
permanent way to help any man is to help
him to help himself To teach him perma-
Incntly to depend on anything save. his own
powers is to do him harm and not good.
