ural resources OF the land All II
means Is that we Of this generation
shall so use our rights as not To de-
prive those who come after us OF
their natural rights in their turn
in the third place. SO Tar as pos
sible these resources must be kept
for the whole people and not handed
over for exploitation To single indi-
viduals. We do not intend to dis
courage individual enterprise BY un-
wisely diminishing the reward for
that enterprise on the contrary. we
believe that the men Of exceptional
abilities should have exceptional re-
wards up to point where the re-
ward becomes disproportionate to the
service up 10 the point where the
abilities are used to the detriment Of
the people as a whole. We are for
the liberty of the individual up 10
and not beyond the point where it
becomes inconsistent with the welfare
of the community, Thus our consist
ent aim is to favor the actual settler
the man who takes as much Of the
public domain as he himself can cul-
tivate, and there makes q permanent
home for his children who come af-
ter him; but ~. .efe against the man,

State and Federal Control
Now, to preserN ,he general well
fare, to see to 1t that the rights Of
the public are protected, and the lib- |
erty OF the individual secured and en-
couraged as long as consistent with |
his welfare and eurbed when it be- |
comes inconsistent herewith, ii is !
necessary to invoke the aid of the |
government. There are points IN |
which this governmental aid can best |
be rendered by the states. that is, |
where the exercise Of states rights
helps to secure popular rights; and |
rs to these | believe in states rights.
But there are large classes of cases
where only the authority of the ma
.iOnal government will secure the |
tights Of the people; and where this
IS the case I am convinced and a
horough-going believer in the rights
II the national government. Big
business, for instance, Is no longer
IN affair OF any one state, big busi-
less has become nationaliZed ana the
lnly effective way of controlling and
lirecting IT, and preventing abuses IN
connection with it. is by having the
people nationalize tbs control in or
Ter to prevent their being exploited |.

zed the business. All commerce on n
Gale sufficiently large to warrant any
control over il by the government is
lowadays interstate or foreign com
nerce; and until this fact is heartily
and acted upon by
10Th courts and legislative bodies,
lational and state alike, the interests
f the people will suffer.

eartily approve OF state action where
