STATES RIGHTS EMPHASIZED BY
 WOODROW WILSON
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ID


 S-~~~~-~~~~>>~~~~~>~~~~~~~ -~~~~~~~~~~-~~~~~~~-~ We still did not desire rigid uniformity of law. even in these matters of com the states should adapt their regulation and restraint of the new forces to their own conditions of life and circum- stances. To put federal law back of the great corporations would have been to give them the right to dominate and override local conditions, to ,sauip them with the majesty and supremacy of the law which created and regulated them and to level the variety of communities before them. No absolute uniform set of rules are likely to fit the infinitely vari- ous circumstances of the states and their people. Hence this conference
 No Jealousy of Power
 We have no foolish or pedantic jeal- ousy of federal power. We believe in the exercise of the federal powers to the utmost extent wherever it is necessary that they should be brought into action for the common benefit. But we do not believe the invention of federal powers either necessary or desirable. We are not attempting a task Of mediation, , neither are we trying to fend off revolu- ton. We are striving neither to defend the states nor to resist the development If the federal government as the instru- ment of the common life of the coun- try. Our function Is one of leadership. Leadership, I take it, Is task of sug- gestion, or adaptation, of the quickening of thought and the devising of means. It is our privilege and duty to study the problems common to all the states and to suggest the means by which the states, without loss of their natural va ~iety or of their opportunities of local adaptation, may yet freely throw their energies into a. common task of protec- ton and development as in the spirit of a single commonwealth, their measures varied, but their purpose the same.
 "Our corporations are not dealing with individuals as much as with com munities. If those who conduct them would look at their business from that point of view and conduct themselves in the temper and spirit of public servants there would be no need of regulation. So long as they do not, so long as they transact their business in vate affairs for private gain and not for public service, regulation will be necessary. Individual affairs and pub lie interests must be accommodated and the public interests, not the private advantage, must be the standard of regulation and accommo odation.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-11-30
Must Take Counsel

Here then, in more particular terms, are the large items of our tasks, as we must view them in counsel to- gether. There is, first, the task of regulation; for that we seek common principles, common ideas and aims, at the same time we recognize that these common principles must be put into effect in our several states in some what different ways in order to serve local needs and conditions. We seek CO., operation but can wear. no straight jacket. The task of right regulation for example, in the case of common car rers In particular, whose business spans over score of states, is a task which we must cooperate with one another and with the federal author tiles, though it may be that local regu- lation may, without injustice or serious breach of common practice, be based upon different calculaDon and different elements of business in different com monwealths. Variety will not impair energy if there be genuine co-opera- ton and real common understand ing such as we ought to be able to bring about" S. M

An Experience on Train Between

For scrupulous care and trouble
taken to return change | have never

was supplement to pay, and the only

change, and while | was waiting for
him to come back with the II marks

About II o'clock that night the
train stopped at town about halfway
to Paris. There was only one other oc-
cupant of my compartment, man who
had got on at some station in France.
Soon after we stopped the door of the
compartment was opened and a man
inquired which of us had given a twen-
