HELD AS THE
CHIEF ISSUE
WILL ECLIPSE TARIFF
PROBLEM IS BELIEF OF
CARLISLE
Member of Studebaker Company
at South Bend Discusses Prob
lens to Become Interest

Charles Arthur Carlisle of the
Studebaker company at South
Bend, says that the greatest is
sues before the American people
is conservation, said Mr.. Carlisle.
Conservation is the live issue
the most important thing to be
considered IN our national life.
Compared with it the tariff is a
mere bagatelle. Unless miss
my guess, the tariff will be lost
sight OF, and conservation will
take its place as the absorbing
and paramount issue in the next
national campaign"
In my opinion one OF the
greatest conferences of adj time
was the one called by President
Roosevelt at the White House,
May Ii TO Is, 1908, which direct
ed the current OF the peoples
thoughts to the devastation of
American resources by predatory
interests and the necessity of
taking action to preserve natures
heritage for the benefit and en-
joyment of millions of common
people yet unborn. The gov
eminent awakened just in time"
1.-The work thus begun rs a
work of the centuries No low
ing person can estimate the far
reaching importance of the bat
tie that has been begun by such
men as Roosevelt, Pinchot and
Beverage to protect the rights
of the common people. Now we
are only at the threshold OF the
gigantic struggle. Generations
hence it will loom up large in
perspective"
CONSERVATISM means that
every man, woman and also
child of this land has an inner
lifted right to it; to use IT and
to enjoy it; and TO bring COM
tort and luxury out OF it. But
it does not mean that you or /
or any other person or class of
people shall have the right to de-
stroy this property and exhaust
it that a few may grow fabu-
lousy rich and the children of
the land in the next generation
shall starve The aim of con-
servation is not for the party
of the class, or the creed burt for
all the people and their children
Senator Beveridge is largely
responsible for my becoming in
terested in this great conserva-
ton movement, coniued Col.
Carlisle. "He stands for con-
servation with his whole heart
and soul. He stands for con-
servation, because conservation
stands for the people. And
let me say right here, that am
for Beveridge for reelection to
the senate.
Il believe Albert ]. Beverage
is the best equipped legislator
we have in the state of Indiana
today, representing the peoples
Interests. He is a forcible and
important factor in the adjust
ment of the great questions be-
fore the national government and
is in a position to render the
people of Indiana a greater ser
vice than ever before in his ca
reer. His fingers are on the
pulse, so to speak and hrs heart
and soul are in the work. and 1T
seems to me the State of lndi-
ana would be making monu-
menal mistake If 1T should put a
new man in his place.
AS a business man Col. Car
isle takes high rank among In
diana's captains of industry but
he is more than that. He is al
so a publicist who gives serious
thought to social and political
problems that deeply concern
the people. Once a messenger
boy with scarcely enough TO eat,
by indomitabqe energy and pre-
servance, he has carved out tor
himself q conspic,,ous niche an
