ad present usefulness of the federal
reserve system.
Federal Regulation
I am in ravor of reducing, rather
than expanding, government bureaus
which seek to regulate and control
| the business activities of the people.
Everyone is aware that abuses exist
and will exist so long as we arc
limited by human irnperfections. Un-
fortunately, human nature can not be
changed by an act Of the legislature.
When practically the sole remedy
for many evils lies in the necessity
of the people looking out for them
selves and reforming their own
abuses, they will find that they are
relying on a false security IL the
government assumes to hold out the
/ promise that 1T is looking out for
them and providing reforms for them
This principle is pre-eminently appli-
cable to the national government 1t
Ills too much assumed that because
an abuse exists IL is the business OF
the national government to provide
remedy. The presumption should pc
that it is the business of local and
state governments Such national
action results in encroaching upon
1.-The salutary independence of the
states ad by Undertaking to super
lfsede their natural authority Ills
the land with bureaus and depart"
ments which are undertaking to do
what it is impossible for them to
accomplish and brings our wnole sys"
tenn OF government into disrespect
and disfavor We ought to MAINTAIN
high standards We ought to pun,
3sb wrongdoing. Society has not
onIv the privilege but the absolute
d,rtv of protecting itself and its m
d,viduals. But we can not accom-
plish this end by adopting a wrons
method Permanent success lies IN
local. rather than natlonal ac'ioit. c'io
rInless the locality rises to its own
reduirements, there is an almost IT
resfstable impulse for the national
government to intervene. The states
and the nation should both reallZe
that such action is to be aoopeeo
only as a last resort
