The enormous increase in the

in no wise protect the public, but

In 1906 Secretary Ethan Allen
Hitchcock of the interior withdrew
about 100000 acres of coal
land from general entry, for the
purpose of examination and in or
der to prevent further illegal or
fraudulent acquisition. When |
became secretary of the interior l
continued these Withdrawals, and
directed that the coal lands in the
western states be classified and
valued in accordance with their
market value. During my admin
istration about 100000 acres
were classified and revalued.
President Roosevelt urged upon
congress the need of a change in
the coal land laws. He recon-
mended that the coal be separated
from the surface, the latter dis
posed of for the most available
use-agriculture, grazing or tim
ber-and the coal disposed of at
a fair price by sale or lease, in ac-
cordance with the public needs,
but under such regulations as
would prevent monopoly. / ad-

providing for it.
Congress, however, merely

To the extent that Russo-Jap-.

iOpneHC ana operation Dy private
interests under regulations of the
character / have above referred
to. Thus the public interests are
safeguarded and the private inter-
est is given what it is entitled to,
no more, no less.
What was done in dealing with
these natural resources of timber,
fuel, phosphates and water shows
most clearly the principle of ex-
ecutive action which governed the
Roosevelt administration. The
people properly consider the execu-
tive as their particular advocate,
their special representative. His
stewardship carries with it grave
responsibilities.
President Roosevelt accepted
both responsibilities and opportu-
mites. The work for conservation
was possible because he was con-
stantly looking out for the pub
lie interest, and was willing to
take action for the public welfare
unless there was some prohibition
under the constitution or in law
to prevent such action.
The next step in the policy of
conservation is legislative action
to supplement what the executive
has done and to provide the
means for further safeguarding
the public interests wherever ncc-
essary.
The danger of the conservation
movement now is inaction. The
public welfare demands action.
No condition is so satisfactory to
aggressive private interest as in
action on the part of the public au-
thorities. The constant striving
by private interest for its own
profit, for a larger share or con-
