Cincinnati, o.. Nov. 1s.--g'leas for
the governmental regulation Of mcnop-
6ifes were voiced tonight before the
Joint convention or the National Mnni-
cipai League and the American Civic
Association by former Secretary Of the
Interior James II. Garfield, and Pres
ident Emeritus Charles W. eliot, OF
Harvard. Both spoke on the conserv-
alton Of natural resources and both de-
cIared that IL was imperative that the
Government take immediate steps to-
wards that end.
A note OF warning was sounded by
Mr.. Garfield who asserted that tho
country's natural resources are In Inn
minent danger OF exhaustion and that
the interests which develop this source
OF national wealth must be regulated
upon the same lines as have already
been adopted In respect to the rail-
roads.
Mr.. Garfield also maintained that the
interests Of the people were not being
properly safeguarded in the Alaska
coal felds and that legislation on that
subject was urgently needed.
DR.. Eliot was equally emphatic. THE
sentiment Of conserving our natural re-
sources" he said. has gone like Wild
fire throughout the country. The peo-
pie have reached, positive convictions
on the subject and they mean to have
conservation. 1t Is the experience of
the American people that when any
monopoly establishes itself, whether Of
labor or capital, then is the time for
the stepping in of Government regula-
ton"
