on to the persons who receive them.
If, under these circumstance, person
who receives a gift can not afford to
pay tax, then there Is no excuse for
taxation under any circumstances. It
is well to rem Smber that the transfer
OF an estate to any particular person
at the death of another is something
which is based directly upon the law
of the land. Without this law the per-
son who gets the property could not
secure it. Under these circumstances
the beneficiary should feel an especial
obligation to pay something to the
power which enables him to receive
benefit. I believe strongly in the
principles of the inheritance tax law.
81 shall vote and work for public
utilities commission.
81 am in considerable doubt as to
the wisdom Of a four-year term for
state officials. It has been suggested
that two year terms keep the state in
a continual turmoil. Probably this is
a thing which grieves the public off,
cial more than it does the average
citizen. I doubt If 1t hurts the citizen
as such to have his attention called to
public and political matters at a
reasonable interval. After all, the
public business is his business and it
is not harmful to him to give his at
tention to it.
st may say, however. that I am not
ready yet to take a very decided posi-
more about it when 1t has been more
thoroughly discussed.
"In a general way, shall expect to
vote for those measures which have
been promised in the Republican plat
form. I regard this promise as being
just as binding as though I had made
it to a few private individuals instead
of to the public at large"

of Second Days
Session of Congress.
GIVES WARNING TO NATION

Trust Influence Largely Responsible
for Waste and Destruction Of Our
Natural Resources--Favors Federal
Jurisdiction in Order to Better Con.
troll the interstate Corporations
Comprising the Special Interests"
st. Paul, Sept. 6.-The feature Of
the second days session of the Ma
tional Conservation congress was the
address of former President Theodore
Roosevelt, who spoke IN National Ef-
%fciency.' His speech, in part, fol-
lows:
Americas reputation for efficiency
stands deseryedly high throughout the
world. We are efficient probably to
the full limit that any nation can at
tain by the methods hitherto used.
There is great reason to be proud OF
our achievements and yet no reason
TO believe that We cannot excel our
past Through a practically unre-
strained indiyidualism We have
reached a pitch of literally unexam-
pied material prosperity. although the
distribution Of this prosperity leaves
much TO be desired from the stand
point OF justice and fair dealing.
But We have not only allowed the
individual a free hand, which was in
the main right; we have also allowed
great corporations to act as though
they were individuals and to exercise
the rights OF individuals, in addition
to using the vast combined power of
high organization and enormous
wealth for their own advantage.
This development of corporate ac-
ton, it is true, is doubtless in large
part responsible for the gigantic de-
velopment of u natural resources,
but 1t Is not less responsible for
waste, destruction and monopoly on
an equally gigantic scale.
Time to Call a Halt.
THE method of reckless and uncon-
sO''Nu iNd uSt anu waste Has uOIe
for us all the good it ever can and it
is time TO put an end to it before it
does all the evil it easily nay We
have passed the time when needless
waste and destruction and
monopoly are any longer permissible.
"Henceforth we must eek national
efficiency by a new and a better way,
by the way Of the orderly development
and use, coupled with the preserva-
tion OF our natural resources. by max
ing the most of What we have for the
benefit OF all of us, instead of leaving
the sources OF material prosperity
open to indiscriminate exploitation.
These are some of the reasons why
1t is wise that we should abandon the
Old point OF view and why conserva-
ton has become a patriotic duty.
One of the greatest of our con-
s~ervation problems is the wise and
prompt development and use of the
waterways of this nation.
"ln nearly every river city from St.
Paul to the gulf the water front is
controlled by the railways. Nearly
every artificial waterway in the Unit
ed States, either directly or Indirect
ly, is under the same control.
1T goes without saying that unless
the people prevent 1t in advance the
railways will attempt to take control
OF u waterways as fast as they are
improved and completed, nor would
| blame them if we, the people, are
supine in the matter.

Warning to the Congress.

Il heartily approve the attitude of
any corporation, interested in the de-
alterations Of a meeting such as this.
which comes hither to advocate by its
openly accredited agents views which
it believes the meeting should have in
mind. But | condemn with equal read
mess the appearance of a corporate
agent before any convention who does
not declare himself frankly as such.
This congress is a direct appeal to
the patriotism of our whole people.
The nation wisely looks to such gath.
erings for counsel and leadership. Let
that leadership be sound, definite.
practical and on the side of all the
people. 1t would be no small misfor-
tune il a meeting such as this should
ever fall into the hands of the omen
enemies or false friends of the great
movement which it represents.
What this country needs is what
every free country must set before il
as the great goal toward which II
works-an equal opportunity for life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
for every n Of its citizens. To
achieve this end We must put a stop
to the improper political domination
no less than the improper economic
dominion OF the great special inter.
ests."

Federal Control of Water Power.

Recognizing the vast economic ben
eft to the people Of water power de-
rived largely from interstate and
source streams no less than from nav-
igable rivers, We favor federal control
Of water power development; We deny
the right of state or federal govern
ments to continue alternating or con-
veying water by granting franchises
for the use thereof in perpetuity; and
we demand that the use of water
rights be permitted only for limited
periods, with just compensation in the
interests of the people.
Approving the withdrawal of pub
lie lands pending classification, and
the separation Of surface rights from
mineral, We recommend legislation for
the classification and leasing for graz
Ing purposes on u~nreServed public
lands suitable chiefly for this purpose,
subject to the rights of ho~mesteaders
and settlers, or the acquisition thereof
under the land laws of the United
States; and We hold that arid and nom
irrigable public grazing lands should
be administered by the government in
the Interest of small stockmen and
homeseekers until they have passed
into the possession of actual settlers.
I'VE hold that the deposits of i'm
portant minerals, underlying public
lands. particularly mineral fuels. iron
ores and phosphate deposits, should
be leased for limited periods o ex.
ceeding fifty years but subject to re.
newal, the royalty to be adjusted at
more frequent intervals, such leases
to be in amounts and subject to such
regulations as to prevent monopoly
and unnecessary waste.

Favors Federal Control.

There is apparent to the judicious
observer a distinct tendency on the
part of our opponents to cloud the is
u by raising the question of state as
against federal jurisdiction. We are
ready to meet that issue if it is forced
upon us. But there is nc hope for the
plain people in such conflicts of juris-
diction.
The essential question is not one of
hair splitting legal tec~hnicalities. 1t is
simply this: Who can best regulate
the special interests for the public
good?
Most Of the predatory corporations
are Interstate or have interstate afili-
atoms; therefore they are largely out
OF reach of effective state control and
fall of necessity within the federal
jurisdiction. One of the prime objects
Of those among them that are grasp
ing and greedy is to avoid any effec-
tive control either by state or nation,
and they advocate at this time state
control simply because they believe
it to be the least effective.
I'm the great fight of the people to
drive the special interests from the
domination of our government the ma
ton is stronger and its jurisdiction is
more effective than that of any state.
The most effective weapon against
these great corporations, most of
which are financed and owned on the
Atlantic coast, will be federal laws
and the federal executive.
That is why | so strongly oppose
the demand to turn these matters over
to the states. 1t is fundamentally a
demand against the interest of the
plain people, of the people of small
means, against the interest of our
children and our children's children,
and it is primarily in the interest of
the great corporations, which desire to
escape all government control.

tues we Americans most need is thrift.
II is a mere tTuism TO say that luxury
and extravaganza are not good for a
nation. So far as they affect charaC-
ter. the loss they cause may be beyond
computation. But in the materiai
sense there is a loss greater than is
caused by both extravaganza and lux
ury put together.
Il mean the needless, useless and
excessive loss TO our people from pre-.
mature death and a%voidable diseases.
Wholly apart from the grief the suf-
fering and the Indebtedness which
they cause, the material loss each year
has been calculated at nearly twice
what it costs to run the federal gov.
eminent.
I'm addition to the state and city
health officers and organizations, there
is urgently needed a federal bureau Of

government properly may, to relieve
our people from this dreadful burden, 2"
