CONSERVING OF RESOURCES
President Roosevelt Sends Mesage to
Congress on National Welfare.
DEMANDS ACTION BY CONGRESS
Declare Fotore Requirements of Peo
ple Tan Oaly Be "applied by
1'reservln.s; Present Nataral
ResAareea ta Pnblic.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. President Roore
velt today transmitted to congress a special
measace in which he urges immediate ac
tion looking to the preservation of the nat
ural resources of the country. The mes
sage is us follows:
To the Senate and House of Represents
tlves: I transmit herewith a report of the Na
tional Conservation commission, together
.with the accompanying papers. This re
port, which is the outgrowth of the con
ference of governors last May, was unani
mously approved ly the recent Joint con
ference held in this city between the Na
tional Conservation commission and gov
trnors of state. State Conservation com
missions, and conservation commutes of
great organisations of citlsens. It is there
for In a peculiar sense representative o!
the whole nation and all Its parts.
With the statements and conclusions of
this report I heartily concur, and I com
mend It to the thoughtful consideration
both of the congress and of our people
generally. It Is one of the most funda
mentally Important documents ever laid
before th American people. It contains
the first Inventory of its natural resources
ever made by any nation. In condensed
form it presents a statement of our avail
able capital In material resources, which
are the means of progress, and calls at
tention to the essential conditions upon
which the perpetuity, safety and welfare
of this nation now rest and must always
continue to rest. It deserves and should
have the widest possible distribution among
the people.
Need for Unlck Action.
The facts set forth In this report con
stitute an Imperative call to action. The
situation they disclose deniands that we,
neglecting for a time. If need be. smaller
and less vital questions, shall concentrate
an effective part of otir attention upon the
great material foundations of national ex-lstence.-'progrcss
and prosperity,
Thla first Inventory of natural resources
prepared by the National Conservation
commission la undoubtedly but the begin
ning of a serlea which will be Indispensable
for dealing intelligently with what we have.
It supplies as close an approximation to
the actual facts as it was possible to pre
pare with the knowledge and time avail
able. The progress of our knowledge of
this country will continually lead to more
accurate information and better use of the
sources of national strength. .But we can
not defer action until complete accuracy
In the estimates can be reached, because
before that time many of our resources
will be practically gone. It is not neces
sary that this inventory should be exact In
every minute detail. It is essential that It
should correctly describe the general sit
uation; and that the present Inventory
does. As it standa it la an irrefutable
proof that th conservation of our re
sources Is the fundamental question before
this nation, and that our first and great
eat task is to set our house in order knd
begin to live within our means.
Welfare of People at stake.
The first of all considerations is the
permanent welfare of our people and
true moral welfare, the highest form

of welfare, can not permanently exist save
on a firm and lasting foundation of mater
ial well-being. In this respect our situation
Is far from satisfactory. After every pos
sible allowance has been made, and when
every hopeful indication has been given
Its full weight, the facts still give reason
for grave concern. It would be unworthy
of our history and our Intelligence, and
disastrous to our future, to shut our eyes
to these facts or attempt to laugh them
out of cotirt. The people should and will
rightly demand that the great tund.
mental guestlons be given attention
by their representatives. ' I do
not advise hasty or Ill-consideration
action on disputed points, but I do urge,
where the facts are known, whore the
public interest Is clear, that neither in
dlffenence and Inertia, nor adverse private
Interests, shall be allowed to stand in the
way of the public good.
The great baslo facts are already well
known. We know that our population is
now adding about one-fifth If its numbers
In ten years, and by the middle of the
present century perhaps 160,000,000 Ameri
cans, and by its end very many million
more, must be fed and clothed from the
products of the soli. With the steady
growth In population and the still more
rapid Increase In consumption, our people
will hereafter make greater and not less
demands per capita upon all the natural
resources for their livelihood, comfort anj
convenience. It Is high time to realize
that our responsibility to the coming mil
lions is like that of parents to their
children, and that In wasting our resources
we are wronging our decendents.
Valaa of Hirer Transportation.
We know now that our rivers can and
should be made to serve our people effec
tively in transpartation, but that the vast
expenditure for our waterways have not
resulted in maintaining, much less in pro
moting, inland navigation- Therefore, let us
take immediate steps to ascertain the
the reasons and to prepare and adopt a
comprehensive plan for inland-waterway
navigation that will result in giving the
people tin benefits for which they have
pail, but which they have not received
We know now that our forests are fast
disappearing, that less than one-fifth of
them are being conserved, and that no
good purpose can be met by falling to
provide the relatively small sums needed
for the protection, use, and Improvement
of all forests still owned by the govern
ment, and to enact laws to check tbe
wasteful destruction of the forests in
private lands. There are differences of
opinion as to many public questions; but
the American people stand nearly aa a unit
for water-way developments and for forest
protection.
We know that our mineral resources,
once exhausted, are gone forever, and that
the mwdless waste of them coats us hun
dreds of human lives and nearly S300.OuO.0U)
year. Therefore, let us undertake with
out delay the Investigation necessary be
fore our people w ill be in position, through
slate action or otherwise, to put aa ena
to this huge loss and waste, and conserve
both our mineral resources and the -lives
of the men who take them from the earth.
1 desire to m-tVe grateful acknowledge
ment to the men, both In and out of the
government service who have prepared the
first inventory of our natural resources.
They have nmde it possible for this nation
to take a great step forward. Their work
Is helping us to sue that the greatest
questions before us are not partisan ques
tions, but questions upon which men of
all parties and all shades of opinion may
be united fur the common good. Among
such questions, ou the material side, the
conservation of natural resources stands
first. It la the bottom round of the ladder
on our upward progress toward a condi
tion In which the nation as a whole, and
Its citlsens as Individuals, will set national
efficiency and the public welfare before
personal profit.
Work of Government Service.
The policy of conservation Is perhaps
the most typical example of the general
policies which this government has made
peculiarly Its own during the opening
years of 4he present century. The func
tion of our government is to insure to all
Its citizens, now and hereafter, their rights
to life, liberty, and th pursuit of happi
ness. If we of this generation destroy the
resources from which our children would
otherwise derive ther livelihood, 'we re
duce the capacity of our land to support a
population, and so either degrade the
standard of living or deprive the coming
generations of their right to life on this
continent. If we allow gnat Industrial or
ganizations to exercise unregulated control
of the means of production and the neces
saries of life, we deprive the Americana of
today and of the future cf industrial lib
erty, a right no less precious and vital
than political freedom. Industrial liberty
was a fruit of political liberty, and In turn
has become one of Its chief supports, and
exactly as we stand for political democracy
so we must stand for Industrial democracy.
Fundamental Mights Affected.
The rights to life and liberty are funda
mental, arul like other fundamental necessi
ties, when once acquired, they are little
dwelt upon. The right to ttie pursuit of
happiness is the right whose presence or
absence Is most likely to be felt In daily
life. In whatever It has accomplished, or
failed to accomplish, the administration
which la Juat drawing to a close has at
least seen clearly th fundamental need of
freedom of opportunity for every citizen.
We have realized that the right of every
man to live hla own life, provide for his
family, and endeavor, according to his abili
ties, to secure for himself and fur them a
fair share of the good things of existence,
should be subject to one limitation and to
no other The freedom of th individual
ahould be limited only by the present and
futur rights. Interests and needs of the
other Individuals who make up the com
munity. W ahould do all In our power to
develop and protect Individual liberty. In
dividual Initiative, but subject always to
the need of preserving and promoting the
general good. When necessary the private
right must yield, under due process of law
and with proper compensation, to th wel
fare of th commonwealth. The man who
serves the community greatly should b
(neatly rewarded by th community; as
ther la great Inequality of aervlc so ths re
must be great trequality of reward; but no
man and no set of men should be ajlowed
to play the game of competition with loaded
dice.
Apply Common Sense.
All this is simply good common sense.
The underlying principle of conservation
has been described as the application of
common sense to common problems for thn
common good. If tlw description Is correct,
then conservation is the great fundamental
basis for national efficiency. In thts stag
of the world's history to be fearless, to be
Jjst, and to be efficient are the three great
requirements of national life. National ef
ficiency is the result of natural resources
well handled, of freedom of opportunity
for every man, snd of the Inherent capacity,
trained ability, knowledge and will, collec
tively and Individually to use that oppor
tunity. This administration has achieved some
things; it has sought, but has not been
able, to achieve . others; it has doubtless
made mistakes; but all it has done or at
tempted has been In the alngle, consistent
effort to secure and enlarge the rights and
opportunities of the men and women of the
I'nlted States. We are trying to conserve
what is good In our social system and
we are striving toward this end
when we endeavor to do away with
what is bad. Success may be mad too
hard for some if It Is made too easy for
others. The rewards of common Industry
and thrift may be too small if the rewards
for other, and on the whole less valuable,
qualities, are made too large, and es
pecially If the rewards for qualities which
are really, from the public standpoint, un
desirable, are permitted lo become too
large. Our aim Is so far as possible to
provide such conditions that there shall
be equality of opportunity where there Is
equality of energy, fidelity and intelligence;
when there Is a reasonable equality of
opportunity the distribution of rewards
will take care of itself.
Monopoly Kills Opportunity.
The unchecked existence of monopoly Is
incompatible with equality of opportunity.
The reason for th exercise of government
control over great monopolies Is to equalise
opportunity. We are fighting against
privilege. It was made unlawful for cor
porations to contribute money for election
expenses In ord-r to abridge the power of
special privilege at the iolls. Railroad
rata control Is an attempt to secure an
equality of opportunity for all men af
fected by rail transportation; and that
means all of us. The great anthracite coal
strike was settled, and the pressing danger
of a coal famine averted, because w
recognized that th control of a public
necessity Involves a duty to th people,
and that public Intervention in the affairs
of a public-service corporation Is neither
to be resented as usurpation nor permitted
as a privilege by the corporations, but on
the contrary to be accepted as a duty and
exercised as a right by the government In
the Interest of all the people. The ef
ficiency of 'he. army and the navy ha
been Increased so that our people may
follow In peace th great work of making
this country a better place for Americans
to live in, and our navy was sent round
th world for th sam ultimata purpose.
All the acts taken by th government dur
ing the last seven years, snd all the
policies uuw being purjued by the govern
ment, fit In as parts of a consistent whole.
Our public land policy has for Its aim
the use of the public land so that It will
promote local development by th settle
ment of home makers; th policy we
champion Is to serve all th people legiti
mately snd openly, instead of permitting
the lands to be converted, illegitimately
and under cover, to the private benefit of
a few. Our forest policy was established
so that we might use the public forests
for the permanent public good, Instead of
merely for temporary private gain. Th
reclamation act, under which the desert
parts of th public domain ar converted
to higher uses for the general benefit, was
passed so that more Americans might have
homes on the lend.
Publle Control of Range.
These policies were enacted into law and
have justified their enactment. Others
have failed, so far, to reach the point of
action. Among such Is the attempt to se
cure public control of the open range and
thus convert its benefits to the use of the
small man, who Is the home maker. Instead
of allowing it to be controlled by a few
great cattle and sheep owners.
Th enactment of a pure food law was
a recognition of the fact that the public
welfare outweighs the right to private
gain, and that no man may poison the
people for his private profit. The employ
ers' liability bill recognized the controlling
fact that while the employer usually has
at stake no more than his profit, th stake
of the employe Is a living for himself and
his family.
We are building the Panama canal, and
this means that we are engaged In the
giant engineering of all time. We arej
striving to sdd In all ways to the habita- 7
giant engineering feat of all time. We are
striving to hold in the public hands tha
remaining, supply of unappropriated coal,
for th protection and benefit of all the
people. We have taken the first steps
toward the conservation of our natural re
sources and the betterment of country life
and the improvement of our waterways.
We stand for the right of every child to a
childhood free from grinding toll, and to an
education; for the rlvlc responsibility and
decency of every citizen; for prudent fore
sight In public matters, and for fair play
in every relation of our national and eco
nomic life. In International matters we
apply a system of diplomacy which puts
the obligations of International morality
on a level with those that govern
the actions of an honest gentleman
In dealing with his fellow men. Within
our own border we stand for truth
and honesty In public and in private life,
and w war sternly against wrongdoers e
every grade. All these efforts are Integral
parta of the same attempt, tha attempt to
enthrone Justice and righteousness, to se
cure freedom of opportunity to all of our
