to give him fair play in tho effort to realize
the best there Is In him.
The tasks this nation has to do are tsreat
tasks. They can only be done at all by
our citizens acting together, and they can
be done best of all by t lie direct mid simple
application of homely common sense. The
application of common sense to common
problema for the common good, under t lie
guidance of the principles upon which thl
republic was based, and by virtue of which
It exists, spells perpe'Mi'y for the nation,
civil and Industrial liberty for Ita citizens,
and freedom of opportunity In the pursuit
of happiness for the plain American, foi
whom this nation was founded, by whom It
was preserved, and through whom alone It
c:m he. perpetuated. I'pon this platform-
larger than party differences, higher than
clasa prejudice, broader than any question
of prof't. and loss there la room for every
American who realizes that the common
good stands first.
Iteport of oiiimUalon.
The National Conservation commission
wisely confined its report to the slateinent
of facta and pilm lples, leaving the execu
tive to recommend the specific to
which these facta and princll - liievUah'y
lead. Accordingly, I call y-iur atirntlon to
some of the larger features of ;he Mtiiii.cn
disclosed by the report, und to tho neUon
thereby clearly demanded for the ge'ural
good.
The report says:
Within recent tnor lis it hii b. en recog
nized and demanded by the pei'jle, through
many thousand delegates from ail Mates
assembled In conventon in ditfeivnt imc-
tiona of Ilia country, that the Ku'eriv.tvs
should ami must be Improved prorirtly
and effectively as a mean of iiiui'iiuinini;
llHiiiinai prosper!! y.
The first requisite for waterway Improve
ment Is the control of the wate- m su.h
manner as to reduce floods and .- giilste
the regimen of ti e navigable rivers. Th
aeeond requisite Is development of ter
inlnala and connections In audi manner a
to regulate commerce.
Accordingly, 1 urge that the broad plan
for the development of our waterway
lecommeuded by the Inland Waterways
commission, be put Into effect without
delay. It provides for a comprehensive
system of waterways Improvement extend
ing to all the uses of the waters and bene
fits to be derived from their control. In
cluding navigation, the development of
power, tho extension of swamp und over
flow lands, the prevention of soil wash
and the purification of streams for water
aupply. It proposes to carry out th work
by co-ordinating agencies In the federal
departments through the medium of an ad
ministrative commlssslon or beard, acting
In co-operation with the states and other
organizations and Individual citizens.
Development! of Wtlrrnlil.
The work of waterway development
should be undertaken without delay. Meet-
torlous projects in known conformity wit 11
the general outPres of any comprehensive
plan should proceed at once. The rout of
th whole work should be met by d!rc t ap
propriation if possible, but if necessary by
the Issue of bonds In small denominations
It la especially Important that th devel
opment of water power should be guarded
with the utmost care both by the national
government and the slates In order to pro
tect the people against the upgrowth ol
monopoly and to Inaure to them a fair share
In the benefits which will follow the de
velopment of thla great asset which be
longs to the people and ahould be con
trolled by them.
I urge that provision be made for both
protection and more rapid development of
the national forests. Otherwise, either the
Increasing use of these forests by the peo
ple must be checked or their protection
against fire must be dangerously weak
ened. If we compare the actual fire dam
age on similar areas on private and na
tional forest landa during the laat year the
government fire patrol saved commercial
timber worth as much as the total cost of
caring for all national forests at the pres
ent rate for about ten years.
I especially commend to the congress the
facts presented by the commission as to
the relation between forests and stream
flow In Its bearing upon the importance
of the forest lands In national ownership.
Without an understanding of this Intimate
relation the conservation of both these nat
ural resources must largely fail.
Time to llrrognlte at Hand.
Th time has fully arrived for recogniz
ing In the law the responsibility to the
community, the state and the nation which
reata upon the private owners of private
landa. The ownership of forest land Is a
public trust. The man who would so han
dle his forest as to cause erosion and to
injure stream flow must be not only edu
cated, but he must be controlled.
The report of the National Conservation
commission says:
Forests In private ownership cannot be
conserved unless they are protected fron
fire. We need good fire laws, well en
forced. Fire control Is impossible wlthou
an adequate force of men whose sole dut 1
is fire patrol during the dangerous season.
I hold aa first among the tasks before the
atates and the nation in their respective
hares In forest conservation the organiza
tion of efficient fire patrols and the enact
ment of good fire laws on the part of the
states.
'The report says further:
Present tax laws prevent reforestation of
cut-over land and tlie perpetuation of ex
isting forests by use. An annual tax upon
the land Itself, exclusive of the limber,
and a tax upon the limber when cut is
well adapted to actual conditions of forest
Investment and is practicable and certain.
It Is far better that, forest land should pay
a modarate tax permanently than that it
Should pay an excessive revenue tem
porarily and then cease to yield at all.
Second only In Importance to good fire
lawa well enforced Is the enactment of
tax laws which will permit the perpetua
tion of existing forests by use.
Food Problem Important.
With our increasing population the t me
la not far distant when the problem of sup
plying our people with food will become
pressing. The pots, hie additions to our
arable area ar not great, and it will be
cores necessary to obtain much larger crops
from the land, as la now done In more
dexuKty atU4 couutrua. To do this w.
need better farm practleo and belter stra.lns
of wheat, corn atid other crop plants, with
a reduction In losses from soil erosion and
from Insects, animals and other enemies
of agriculture. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Is doing excellent work
in these directions and it should bo liber
ally supported.
The remaining public lnnds should be; 1
classified and the arable lands dlKised of ,
to homemakers. In their Interest tho tim
ber and stone act and tho commutation
clause of the homestead act ahould be re
pealed and the desert land law should be
modified In accordance with the recom
mendations of the Fublio Iands commis
sion. The use of the public grazing lands
should be regulated In such ways as to Im
prove and conserve their value.
Rights to the surface of the public land
ahould be separated from rights to forests
upon It and to minerals beneath It, and
thee should be subject to separate dis
posal. The coal, oil, gas and phosphate rights
still remaining with the government should
be withdrawn from entry and leased under
conditions favorable for economic develop
ment. Consumption Gain on Popolntlon.
The accompanying reports show that the
consumption of nearly all of our mineral
products la Increasing more rapidly than
our population. Our mineral waste is a-bout
one-sixth of our product, or nearly $1,000,
000 for each working day In the year. The
loss of structural materials through fire
Is about another million a day. The loss
of Ufa In the mines is appalling. The
larger part of these losses of life and prop
erty can be avoided.
Our mineral resources are limited In
tuantlty and cannot be increased or re
produced. With the rapidly increasing
rate of consumption the supply will b ex
hausted while yet the nation is In its In
fancy, unleea better methods tvre devised
or substitutes are found. Further investi
gation is urgently needed in order to Im
prove methods and to develop- and apply
substitutes.
It is of the utmost importance that a
bureau of mine be established In accord
ance with the pending bill to reduce the
loss of life in mines and the waste of
mineral resources and to investigate the
methods and substitutes for prolonging Lite
duration of our mineral supplies. Hoth th
need and the public demand for such a
bureau are rapidly becoming mor urgent.
It should co-operate with the states In
supplying data to serve as a basis for state
mine regulations. The establishment of
this bureau will mean merely the transfer
from other bureaus of work which It Is
agreed should be transferred and slightly
enlarged and reorganized for these, pur
poses. The Joint conference already mentioned
adopted two resolutions to which I call
your special attention. The first was In
tended to promote co-operation beiwein
the suit and Uie na'iuu uc-uu ail of Uis
great questions here discussed. It is as
follows;
Resolved, That a Joint committee be ap
pointed by the chairman, to consist of six
members of state conservation commissions
and three members of the national con
servation commission, whose duty It shall
bo to prepare and present to the state and
national commissions, and through them to
tho governors and the president, a plan
for united action by nil organizations con
cerned with the conservation of natural re
sources. (On motion of Governor Noel of
Mississippi, tho chairman and seeretarv of
tho conierenco were added to and con
stituted a part of this committee.)
Means for Co-Operation.
The second resolution of the Joint con
ference to which I refer calls upon the
congress to provide the means for such co
operation. The principle of the community
of Interest among all our people In the
great natural resources runs through the
report of the National Conservation com
mission and the proceedings of the Joint
conference. These resources, which form
the common basis of our welfare, can be
wisely developed, rightly used, and prud
ently conserved only by the common action
of all the people, acting through their
representatives In state and nation. Hence
the fundamental neceaslty for co-operation.
Without It we shall accomplish but little.
and this little badly. The resolution fol
io wa:
We also esDeclallv urire on the mnn.!,
of the United States th high desirability
of maintaining a national commission on
the conservation of the resources of the
oountry, empowered to co-operate with
state commissions to the end that every
.. .nian.funeaiiii nun evrry secnon
of the country may maintain the high
n.in anu me pureness 01
perpetuity naturally arising In the abundant
resources and the vigor. Intelligence, and
patriotism of our people.
In this recommendation I most heartily
concur, and I urge that an appropriation
of at least $50,000 be made to cover the
expenses of the National Conservation
commission for necessary rent, assistance,
and traveling expenses. This Is very
small. I know of no other way In which
the appropriation of ao small a sum would
result In ao large a benefit to th whole
nation. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
