BERHARTsS VIEWS
ON CONSERVATION.

Speaking On the Economic Value
Of Conservation" Governor Eberhart
of Minnesota said:
Conservation of natural resources
does not consist merely in the preser-
walton of these resources for the ben
eft of future generations, but rather
such present use thereof as via result
in the greatest general good and yet
maintain that productive power which
ENSURES continued future enjoyment.
1T follows necessarily that any the
CRY of conservation which does not
provide for the present as well as the
future does not cover the entire field
and cannot possibly bring the best re-
suits. From every economic stand
point 1t is desirable that the present
generation should be preferred, since
future discoveries and inventions may
render present resources of less value
and Importance to the coming genera

Exactly as the cry of executive
usurpation was raised, so now the
ghost of states rights is dragged out
to brighten the public. There is no
real conflict between nation and states
in dealing with the public lands and
the use of natural resources. Each
jurisdiction has great interests to
safeguard, great duties to perform for
the common good and, whenever the
jurisdictions overlap, neither should
withdraw, but by cooperation provide
for such regulation as win prevent pri-
vate and special interests from escap-
ing effective public regulation and SUI
