Free-Ship Benefits.

Canada has the benefit of a free ship
law, but she has not profited greatly by
its presence on the statute books of the
Dominion Its effect has been To close
the few shipyards on the Canadian side
OF the Great Lakes, and her share in
the carriage of about 60,000,O00 tons of
products on these waterways was less
than 3 per cent last year. Evidently
it needs something more than free ships
to stimulate shipping enterprise.-San

The LAW and the Natural Resources.
The court decisions TO which PreSi-
dent Roosevelt referred in his speech
at the opening of the White House con-
fesence could hardly have been more
OPpOrtune if they had been made to
order. They set forth very fully and
eonvlEcingly the legal warrant for the
Suites Intervention TO save the natural
resources of the country
In Maine the State supreme Court
had been questioned concerning tire
right of the State Legislature to re-
strict the cutting of timber on private
land for the protection OF the water
supply and had answered that the pro
posed legislation would be within the
legislative power and that 1t would not
operate as a taking Of private property
for which compensation must be made.
In New Jersey case which had gone
DO the Supreme Count of the United
States there was an agreement between
the judicial authorities of State and
nation. and the Supreme Court held
chat ''the State as quasi sovereign and
representative of the interests of the
public has standing in court TO pro
tect the atmosphere. the water and the
forests within its territory. irrespective
of the assent or dissent of the private
owners of the land most Immediately
concerned" The court added also that
rhe power of the State in the premises
WAS not dependent upon any nice esti-
mate of the extent OF present use or
speculation as to future needs.
This is the law, but in the past it
has not prevented a sense OF absolute
ownership and complete ,llsposing pow
er in the individual. who is apt to
look upon any interference with his
control of his property as revolution.
This feeling has been encouraged, of
course. because the necessity for re-
straints has not been felt by the public,
owing TO the abundance of natural
riches. The principle was there, how
ever, and latterly reasons for its more
frequent application have been multi
plying. 1t is to be noted that particu-
iar attention is paid in the New Jersey
case to the new demands that may
arise from changed conditions when 1T
is said tlat given a State the public
interest is omnipresent and grows more
pressing as population grows.-Chicago
