Too Much Legislation.

The east and the middle west con-
tinuo to enjoy much greater degree
OF prosperity than the Pacific coast
states.
Capital is cheaper there and does
not have TO face three to four per
cent tax levy as is the case in west
ern cities.
In the eastern states, not so many
men who fail In some business or
profession are sent to the legisla-
ture to make laws.
While one coast state enacted 5i4
laws at one session OF the legisla-
ture, the whole British Empire en-
acted 81 laws.
Before the war the British EN-
pIre had the cheapest capital in the
world. and capital there Is protected
carefully.
In Great Britain when n city ac-
quires a public utility. II does no at
a price that Is fair to the smallest
stockholder.
Legislation giving boards and
commissions power over the citizen
and over investments OF capital keep
monoy out OF business.

! as these questions have assumed greater
and greater prominence the movement
which this association represents has
gathered cumulative force. So that if
anybody asks himself what does this
gathering force mean?" if he knows any
thing about the history of the country
he knows that it means something that
has not only come to stay. but has come
with conquering power
I get a little impatient sometimes
about the discussion of the channels
and methods by which it is to prevail.
1t is going to prevail. and that is a
very superficial and ignorant view of it
which attributes it to mere social un-
rest. 1t is not merely because the
women are disconnected. 1t is because
the women have seen visions of duty,
and that is something which we not
only cannot resist, but, if we be true
Americans, we do not wisk to resist.
Because America took its origin in Wis
ions of the human spirit in aspirations
for the deepest sort of liberty of the
mind and of the heart. and as visions
Of that sort come up to the sight of
those who are spiritually minded in
America, America comes more and more
into her birthright and into the perfec-
ton of her development
So that what we have to realize in
dealing with forces of this sort is that
we are dealing with the substance of
life itself.

Almost every other. time that ever

joice in the strength of it, and we shall
not quarrel in the long run as to the
method of it. Because. when you are
working with masses of men and Or
ganized bodies of opinion, you have got
to carry the organized body along. The
whole art and practice of government

in moving masses 1t is all very well
