The olaca to aet them Roosevelt Says Government Has a Business Duty Hot to Enroach on Private Enter prise, But to Aid in Regulating if Necessary. San Francisco. Franklin D. Roosevelt said it was the task of government to assist business in the development of an economic declar ation of rights under which the re sponsible heads of finance and in dustry would work together in the public interest. The exposition cf the democratic presidential nom inee's views was given before the Commonwealth club in an address which preceded his appearance at a democratic women's reception and at a public meeting in the civic audi torium later at night. Incidentally the New York gover nor's visit developed an exchange of friendly words between him and Sen ator Ilirain Johnson. In his Sacra mento address Mr. Roosevelt praised Senator Johnson for Ins progres sivism ana reierreu to mm as "long a warrior in the ranks of true Am erican progress." Commenting on Roosevelt's re mark, the California senator who only the day before delivered an ad dress criticising the government's foreign debt and relief policies, said The attitude of Mr. Roosevelt is in sharp contrast with that Mr. Hoo ver has maintained toward progres sivism and progressives in California. Governor Roosevelt was very grac ious and generous in his address at Sacramento. I personally immensely appreciate what he said, and I am ure it is equally appreciated by the progressive republicans in this state Lights of Citizenship. In hi3 luncheon address Governor Roosevelt said: "Every man has right to his own property; which means a right to be assured, to the fullest extent attainable in the safety of hi3 savings. By no other means can men carry the burden of those parts of life which, in the nature of things, afford no chance of labor childhood, sickness, old ase. In all thought of property this right is paramount; all other property rights must yield to it. "If, in accord with this principle we must restrict the Venerations of the speculator, the manipulator, even the financier. I believe we must ac cept the restriction as needful, not to hamper individualism but to pro tect it. "This implication is, briefly, that the responsible heads of finance and industry, instead of acting each for himself, must work together to achieve the common end. They must. where necessary, sacrifice this or that rrivate advantaga; and in re ciprocal self denial must seek a gen eral advantage. It is here that for mal government political govern ment if you choose comes in. When ever m the pursuit of this objective the lone wolf, the unethical competi tor, the reckless promoter, the Ish mael or Insull w hose hand is against every man's, declines to join in achieving an end recognized as be ing for the public welfare, anw threatens to drag the industry back to a state of anarchy, the government may properly be asked to apply re straint. Duty of Government. "Likewise should the group ever use its collective power contrary to the public welfare the government must be swift to enter and protect the public interest. The government should assume the function of eco nomic regulation only as a last resort, to be tried only when private initia tive, inspired by high responsibility, such assistance and balance as gov ernment can give, has finally failed. "As yet there has been no final failure because there has been no at tempt, and I decline to assume that this nation is unable to meet the situation." Mr. Roosevelt said the declara tion of independence asserted every man had the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. State Journal. FARMER KILLS HIS CHILD Lancaster, Wis.
