According to the findings, Mr. Per-

urers and perfected a plan whereby
the McCormick company and the oth-
er named companies except the Mil-
waukee company, sold their nroper-

er found, was a figurehead. The new
company was managed by former of-
ficers of the old companies as was
the International Harvester company
of America.
The whole stock of the New Jersey
corporation was transferred to a vot-
ing trust composed of Gao. W. Per-
kins, Cyrus If. McCormick and Chas

quired In 1*03 are the Columbia
Cordage company, the Mexican HI sal

road company, the Aultman Miller

In 1994 it acquired the Weber

tional conservation commission he.
made whut was Interpreted hero as a
sharp thrust at Congressman James A.
Tawney.
Colonel Roosevelt's speech was a*
follows:
America's reputation for efficiency
stumlH deservedly high throughout
the world. We are efficient, proba-
bly, to the full limit that any nation
can attain by the method.* hitherto
used. There Is grout reason to be
proud of our achievement*, and yet
no reason to believe that we cannot
excel our past. Through a practic-
ally unrestrained Individualism we
have reached a pitch of literally un-
exampled material prosperity, al-
though the distribution ot this pros-
perity leaves much to be desired from
the standpoint of justice and fair
dealing. But we have not only al-
lowed the individual ti free hand,
which was In the main right; we have
also allowed great corporations to act
■'la though they were Individuals, and
to exercise the rights of Individuals,
In addition to using the vast com-
bined power of high organization
and enormous wealth for their own
advantage. This development of cor-
porate action. It Is true, la doubtless
In large part responsible for the gi-
gantic development of our natural re-
sources, but It la not less responsible
for waste, destruction and monopoly
on an equally gigantic scale.
The method of reckless and uncon-
trolled private use and waste has
done for us all the good It ever can,
and It Is time to Put an end to It be-
fore It does ull the evil It easily may.
We have passed the time when heed-
less waste and destruction, and ar-
rogant monopoly, are any longer per-
missible. Henceforth we must seek
National efficiency by ,a new and u
better way, by the way *f the orderly
development and use, coupled with
the preservation, ot our national re-
Mourees, by making the most of what
we have for the benefit of all of us.
Instead of leaving the sources of ma-
terial prosperity open to Indiscrim-
inate exploitation. These are some of
the reasons why It is wise that we
should abandon the old point of view,
and why, conservation has become a
patriotic duty. f
Waterways.
One of the greatest of our conserva-
tion problems Is the wise and prompt
development and use of the water-
ways ot this nation. The Twin Cities,
lying as they do at tne headwaters of
the Mississippi, are not upon the di-
rect line of the proposed Lakes to the
Gulf Deep Waterway. Yet they are
deeply Interested In Its prompt com-
pletion, as well As In the deepening
and regulation of the Mississippi to
the mouth of the Missouri and to the
Gulf. The project for a great trunk
waterway, an arm of the sea. extend-
ing from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Great Lakes, should not ho aban-
doned. The Lakes to the Quit Deep
Waterway, and the development of
the rivers which flow Into it, should
be pushed to Completion vigorously
and without delay.
In nearly every river city, from St
Paul to ihe Gulf the water-front i*
controlled by the railways. Nearly
every artificial waterway to the
United Stales, cither directly or indi-
rectly, is .nder the some control. It
goes without saying that (unless the
people prevent It tn advance) the
railways will attempt to take control
of our waterways an fast a* they are
Improved and completed: nor would 1
blame ih* rn If we. the people, arc
supine in th> matter. We must see to
It tha: adequate terminals are provid-
ed In every city and town on every
improved v.ucrway, terminals open
under reasonable conditions to the use
of every citizen, and rigidly protected
against monopoly; and we must com
p,d the railways to co-operate with
the waterways continuously, effective
ty, and under reasonable conditions.
Iiruloagr.
Where the state* are unwilling or
unable to undertake It. the drainage
of swamp anil overflow lands by the
federal government Is a wine and nee
,-xsary measure. Much of It must be
done by the nation in any case, as an
Integral part of Inland waterway de-
velopment. It affprds a most promis-
ing field for eo-operation between the
states and the nation.
Tim National lor»•sis.
The people of tho United States be-
lieve In tty complete and rounded de-
velopment of Inland waterways for all
the useful purposes they can lw made
to serve. They believe also In forest
protection and forest extension. The
fight for our national forests In the
Weal ha* been won. After a cam
palgn In which the women of Minne-
sota did work which should secure to
them the perp* tuul gratitude of their
Mate. Minnesota won her national for-
ciit, and will keep It; but the fight to
create the Southern Appalachian and
White Mountain forests in the Hast is
not yet over. _
If any proof were needed that for-
est protection I* a national duty, the
recent destruction of forests in the
West by fire would supply it. Even
with the aid of th*' army added to that
of the forest service the loss ha* been
severe. Without either It would have
Ireeh vastly greater.
A Country Life Institute.
The Investigations of the Country
Life Commission have led the farm-
er* of this country to realize that they

r.ot beyond Improvement, while much
needs to be done In some other sec
lions to Improve country life. As yet
we know comparatively little of the
basic fact# of rural civilization. The
means for better farming we hav
studied with care, but to better living
on the farm and to belter business on
the farm the farmers themselves have
given scant attention.
Human Efficiency.
As a people we have not yet learned
to economize. One of the virtues we
Americans most need Is thrift. It Is
u mere truism to say that luxury and
extravagance arc not good for a na-
tion. So far as they affect character
tho loss they cause may be beyond
computation. But In the materia!
sense there Is a loss greater than 1*
caused by both extravagance and lux
ury put together. I mean the need-
less. useless and excessive loss to our
people from premature death
avoidable disease*.
National Conservation Commission.
One of the most Important meetings
in our recent history was that of thi
governors in the White House In May.
1»0X, tw consider the conservation
question. By the advice of the gov-
ernors the meeting was followed by
the appointment of a National Con-
servation Commission. The meeting
of the governors directed the attention
of the country to conservation as
nothing else could have done, while
the work of the commission gave th
movement definiteness and supplied H
with a practical program. But at th
moment when the commission was
ready to begin the campaign for put
ling Its program into effect an amend
merit to the Sundry Civil Service bill
was Introduced by a congressman
from Minnesota, with the purpose oi
putting a stop to the work so admir-
ably begun. Congress passed* the
amendment. Its object was to put an
end to the work of a number of com-
missions, which had been appointed
by th.e president, and whose contribu-
tion to the public welfare had been
simply Incalculable, Among these
were tho commission for reorganising
the business methods of the Govern-
ment, the Public Lands Commission
the Country Life Commission and the
National Conservation Commission
Itself. When 1 signed the Sundry Civil
Service bill, containing this amend-
ment. I transmitted with It as my last
official act a memorandum declaring
that the amendment was void, because
It was an unconstitutional Interference
with the rights of the executive, and
that If I were to remain president I
would pay to It no attention whatever
Pan-American Conservation.
When the Government of the
United States awoke to the Idea of the
conservation and saw that It was
good. It lost no time In communicat-
ing the advantages of the new point
of view to Its Immediate, neighbors
among the nations. A North Ameri-
can Conservation Conference was held
In Washington, and the co-operation
of Canada and Mexico In the great
problem of developing the resources
of the continent tor the benefit of Its
people was asked and promised. Tho
nations upon our Northern and South
ern boundaries wisely realized that
their oppurtunity to conserve the
natural resources was better than
ours, because with them destruction
and monopolization had not gone so
far as they had with us. So It is with
the republics of Central and South
America. Obviously they are on the
verge of a period of great ' material
progress.
Unless the governments of all the
American Republics, Including our
own, enact In time such laws as will
both protect their natural wealth and
promote their legitimate and reason-
able development, future generations
will owe their misfortune to us of to-
day. A great patriotic duty calls
upon us. We owe it to ourselves and
to them to give the American repub-
lics all the help we can. The cases In
which we have failed should be no less
Instructive than th< case* in which we
have succeeded. With prompt action
and good will the task of saving the
resources for the people W full of hope
for all of us.
Slate and Federal Control.
But while we oi the United States
are anxious, as l believe we are able,
to be of assistance to others, there are
problems of our own which we must
not overlook. One of the moat Im-
portant conservation questions of the
moment relates to the control of water
power monopoly In lhe public Interest
There Is apparent to the judicious ob-
sor\er a distinct tendency on the part
of our opponent* to cloud the Issue 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 no hope for the plain peo-
ple tn such conflicts of Jurisdictions.
the special interest* for th« public
good? Most of the predatory cor-
porations are Inter-state or have Inter-
state sfflHatlon*. Therefore th*y are
largely out of reach of effective state
control, and. fall of necessity within
the federal jurisdiction.
The Conservation Fight.
One of the difficulties In putting
Into practice the conservation Idea la
that the field to which It applies is
constantly growing In the public mind.
It has twen no alight teak to bring be-
fore 10e.90e.000 people a great con-
ception like that of conservation, and
convince them that it Is right. This
much we have accomplished. Bet
there remains much to J>e cleared lip,
and many mlsunderstandslngs to be
removed. These misunderstandings
are due In part at least to direct mis-
representation by the men to whose
Interest It Is that conservation should
not prosper. For example, we find It
constantly said by men. who should
know better, that temporary with-
drawals have no purpose except to
prevent the coal lands from passing
into private ownership until Congress
can pass laws to open thit/i to devel-
opment under conditions just alike to
the public, and to the men who will do
th*' developing. If there is delay, the
responsibility for it rests, got on the
men who made the withdraw!* to pro-
tect the public interest, but on those
who prevent Congress from passing
wise legislation, and so putting an end
to the need for withdrawals.
But in spite of these difficulties,
most of which are doubtless inevitable
In any movement of this kind, con-
servation has made marvelous prog
res*. I have been astounded and de-
lighted on my return from abroad at
the progress made while I was away.
We have a right to congratulate our-
selves on this marvelous progress; but
there Is no reason for believing that
the fight is won. In the beginning the
special interests, who are our chief op-
ponents in the conservation fight, paid
little heed to the movement, because
they neither understood It. nor saw
that If It won they must lose. But
with the progress of conservation In
the minds of our people the fight
jetting sharper.
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. It would be no small misfor-
tune if a meeting such as this should
ever fall into the hands of the open
enemies or false friends of the great
movement which ll represents.
Conclusion.
the
start
It Is our duty and our desire to
make this land of ours a better home
for the race, but our duty does not
stop there. W.e must also work for a
better nation to live In this better land.
The development and conservation of
our national character and our free
Institutions must go hand in hand with
the development and conservation of
our natural resources, which the Gov-
ernors' Conference so well called the
foundations of our prosperity. What-
ever progress we may make as anaa-
tion, whatever wealth we may ac-
cumulate, however fat wo may push
mechanical development and produc-
tion, we shall never reach a point
ami4 wnere our welfare can depend tn the
last analysis on anything but honesty,
courage, loyalty and good citizenship
The homely virtues are the lasting vir-
tues, and the road which leads to them
Is the road to genuine and lasting suc-
cess.
What this country needs is what
every free country must get before it
is the great goal toward which It
works—an equal opportunity for life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
(or every one of its citizens. To
achieve this end we must put a stop to
the Improper political dominion, no
Icbs than to the improper economic
dominion, of ike great special inter-
ests. This country, Its natural Ne-
«ourees, its naturul advantages. Its op-
portunities, ami its Institutions, be-
long to all Its citizens. They cannot be
enjoyed fully and freely under any
government In which the special Inter-
ests os such haVe a voice. The su-
preme political task of our day, the in-
dispenslble condition of national effi-
ciency and national welfare. Is to drive
the special Interests out of our public
life.
Jbk. J. Hill sat on the platform close
to Mr. Roosevelt, and on one occa-
sion, when lhe colonel was speaking
>f federal control of corporations, he
turned directly toward the railroad
builder nnd addressed him,
Mr. Hill attended the luncheon given
to Colonel Roosevelt us did Jas. R.
Garfield, Gifford Flnchot. Secretary
Wilson of the department of agri-
culture, Governor Norris of Montana;
Governor Hay of Washington; Gov-
ernor Brooks of Wyoming, and Sena-
tor Nelson of Minnesota.
When Mr. Roosevelt reached the
State Fair grounds he found what he
said was the largest crowd he had
<een on his western trip. The grand-
itand was filled and the ground in
front of it, and on both sides of the
platform on which the colonel stood,
was crowded with a throng that ex-
tended back farther than his voice
could be heard.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my trip
through the west.'”'he said. "But this
Is the most extraordinary audience I
have yet seen.”
When he appeared on the platform
the people who first caught sight of
him began to cheer. The cheer was
caught up by the others, and in an
Instant the vast throng of people were
>n their feet, waving their hats,
throwing cushions Into the air, and
uniting in a deafening roar ot wel-
come.
The colonel talked to the people for
half an hour on good citizenship. He
laid lhat the people should keep their
prosperity and that the chief concern
