LABOR

There are many matters affecting labor
and the status of the wageworker to
which l should like to draw your at
tention, but an exhaustive discussion of
the problem in all its aspects is not now
necessary. This administration is near
ing its end; and. moreover under our
form Of government the solution of the
problem depends upon the action of the
states as much as upon the action of the
nation
Nevertheless. there are certain consid-
erations which l wish to set before you,
because 1 hope that our people will more
and more keep them in mind. A blind and
ignorant resistance to every effort for
the reform of abuses and for the read
justment of society to modern industrial
conditions represents not true conserv-
atism but an Indictment to the widest
radicalism: for wise radicalism and wise
conservatism go hand in hand, one bent
on progress the other bent on seeing
that no change is made unless in the
right direction.
/ believe in a steady effort or perhaps
it would be more accurate to say in steady
efforts in many different directions. to

outside the domain of all government.
Some must lie outside the domain of the
federal government.
But there is legislation which the federal
government alone can enact and which is
absolutely vital in order to secure the
attainment of our purpose. Many laws
are needed.
There should be regulation by the ma
tiOnal government of the great interstate
corporations. including a simple method of
account keeping. publicity, supervision OF
the issue of securities, abolition of re-
bates and of special privileges. There
should be short time franchises for all
corporations engaged in public business;
er from water rights.
There should be national as well as state
guardianship of mines and forests. The
labor legislation hereinafter referred to
should concurrently be enacted into law.
Use Of National Power.
To accomplish this, means of course a
certain Increase in the use Of-not the
creation of-power by the central govern
ment The power already exists; it does
not have to be created; the only question
is whether 1t shall be used or left idle
and meanwhile the corporations over
which the power ought to be exercised will
not remain idle.
Let those who object to this increase in
the use of the only power available, the
national power. be frank. and admit open
ly that they propose to abandon any effort
to control the great business corporations
and to exercise supervision over the &C
emulation and distribution of wealth; for
such supervision and control can only
come through this particular kind OF in
crease of power. We no more believe in
that empirfciSm which demands absolutely
unrestrained indfvidua.ism than we do in
that empiricism which clamors for dead
ening socialism which would destroy all
individual initiative and would ruin the
country with completeness that not even
an unrestrained individualism itself could
achieve.
The danger to American democracy lies
not in the least In the concentration of
administrative power in responsible and
accountable hands. 1t lies in having the
power insufticient'y concentrated, SO that
no one can be held responsible to the peo-
palpable, visible. responsible easily
reached. quickly held to account Power
scattered through many administrators,
many legislators. many men who work be-
hind and through legislators and admins
traitors, Is impalpable. is unseen. is ire
sponsfb'e. cannot be reached, cannot be
held to account
Democracy Is in peril wherever the adj
ministration OF political power is scattered
among variety of men who work in Sc
cret whose very names are unknown to
the common people. 1t is not in peril
from any, man who derives authority from
the people, who exercises it in sight of the
people, and who is from time to time COM
PEELED to give an account of it's exercise
to the people.

CORPORATIONS

As regards the great corporations en-
gagged in interstate business. and espe-
cially the railroads, l can only repeat
what 1 have already again and again
said In my messages to the Congress. /
believe that under the interstate clause
of the CONSTITUTION the United States has
complete and paramount right to control
all agencies of interstate commerce. and
l believe that the national government
alone can exercise this right with wisdom
and effectiveness SO as both to secure
Justice from, and to do justice to- the
great corporations which are the most
important factors in modern business
I believe that 1t Is worse than folly
y. attempt to prohibit all combinations
as is done by the Sherman antitrust
law because such a law can be enforced
only imperfectly and unequaliy and its
enforcement works almost as much hard
ship as good. I strongly advocate that
instead OF an unwise effort to prohibit all
combinations there shall be substituted
a law which shall expressly permit COM
binations which are in the interest of the
public. but shall at the same time give
TO some agency of the national govern
ment full power of control ard super
vision over them.
One Of the chief features of this con-
troll should be securing entire publicity
in all matters which the public has a
right to know, and furthermore the
power, not by judicial but by executive
action. to prevent or put stop to every
form of improper favoritism or other
wrongdoing.
Control Of Railroads.
The railways Of the country should be
out completely under the interstate COM
merce commission and removed from the
domain Of the antitrust law. The power
Of the commission should be made thor
oughgoing, so that it could exercise COM
