Two Glasses Of Resources.
THE natural resources have
enumerated can be divided into two
sharply distinguished classes accord.
ingly as they are or are not capable
of renewal. Mines if used must neces.
sarily be exhausted. The minerals
do not and cannot renew themselves.
Therefore in dealing with the coal,
the oil, the gas, the iron, the metals
generally, all that we can do is to try
to see that they are wisely used. The
exhaustion is certain to come In time
1.-THE second class of resources con.
sists of those which cannot only be
used In such manner as to leave them
undiminished for our children, but
can actually be improved by wise use
The soil, the forests, the waterways
come in this category. In dealing
with mineral resources, man is able to
improve on nature only by putting
the resources to beneficial use which
In the end exhausts them; but in deal.
ing with the soil and it's products
man can improve on nature by com.
pelling the resources to renew and
even reconstruct themselves in such
manner as to serve increasingly bene.
f1cial uses-while the living waters
can be so controlled as to multiply
their benefits.
Neither the primitive man nor the
pioneer was aware of any duty to pos.
terity in dealing with the renewable
resources. When the American set.
tier felled the forests, he felt that
there was plenty Of forest left fer the
sons who came after him. When he
exhausted the soil of his farm he felt
that his son could go west and take up
another. So it was with his imme.
diate successors. When the soil-wash
from the farmers fields choked the
neighboring river he thought only of
using the railway rather than boats
for moving his produce and supplies" +"
