Colonel Roosevelt in defending new
nationalism," replied 20 those who OPP
pose his plan Of increasing the power
OF the central government for the
purpose OF dealing with conservation
the control OF corporations and other
questions.
"They say, DO not give the gov
ernmcnt too much power he said.
Certainly not. J do not want To
give the government any more power
than rs necessary You would not
have 70 have SO mech power In the
national government il YOU were deal
ing with individuals, none of whom
were very rich, but when YOU got an
aggregation Of rich individuals YOU
must master them through the gov
ernment
some of the people VIII say that
this is interference with lndividualism.
II Is true Il Is giving the govern~
mcnt q chance. The individual has
no chance II you permit business
10 be established or permit
Il TO develop so that a single man IL
powerless against Il or can be crushed
by it.
u am not speaking Ia hostility to
! recognize the need or
the great corporations as necessary
in modern indiYidualism.
our conditions are new and we need
this instrument of the corporation,
but also we need the complete con-
trol hy the people through the gov
ernmcnt of the corporations. I cheer
fully admit one new thing Is ncces-
sary ONLY I insist that the other new
hing Is necessary too.
Colonel Roosevelt endorsed the APP
pointment by President TAFT Of Pres
dent Arthur r. lladley of Yale as head
Of the commission 10 Investigate the
,apita lization Of railroads and Of
Joseph a. Holmes as chief Of the
1uroau of mines.
After saving that men appointed to
io work for the benefit Of the people
lhould be chosen without regard to
political affiliations. he continued,
Now. The good OF a general state
nent like that lies in its application
md I viii give you AN example or
low lu practice that principle has
,cen applied. We have O bureau of
mines. and President TAFT has recent
3 appointed as the head Of that
,ureau the best man that possibly
ouid have been chosen % I'LL the
llace-Mr Holmes, man whom
ional work. although ] don know
is politics.
Il am exceedingly glad hat the
resident has appointed mon like
ir Hadley OF Yale TO look Into the
uesfion OF railroad capitalization.
ION will find some worthy people
'hc are willing To have the govern
1ent look into this question, but they
rant Sc ieft tu the states TO deal with.
There is am Instance ot two rail-
Dads that rum from Minneapolis west
rard to Puget sound aud they were
ioiaune tne laws of the federal gov
rument and violating The laws Of the
'4tes throueb which they run. The
otsrnnent started to bring suit
ualn~t flem. ~ Wae nd once con-
,ndrd chat ID was merely a matter
lr the states. and while the railroads
in through Minnesota, North Dakota.
.ontana. Idaho and Washington. they
ere incorporated in New Jersey. They
ave not "a single mile OF track with
900 miles ol New Jersey.
There b. only one power that could
sal with that kind Of a corporation.
nd that is the national government.
here is only one power that can deal
ith big business carried on in inter-
ate lines. and that is the national
lvcrnment. Anything that can be
aalt with By the states. ] favor doal-
Ig with IL 10 that way. Bat big bus
