Booaevslt's Addrasa on - Conservation. ' Roosevelt's address to the cattlemen this aftrnooji was largely, on the topic f conservation. This - portion f his address follows: : ''Y ''This country has ' shown defnjte fflgns of. waking up to the absolute ne- f essity of handling i ts . natural resour ces with foresight and common sense. "The conservation question has three eldes. . , "In the first place, the -needless waste , of our natural resources must be stooped. It Is rapidly becoming a well ; settled policy of this people that we of this generation hold the land In part ; for the next generation and not exclu sively for our own selfish enjoyment. Present Development Part of Plan, "fn the-second place, the natural re ; sources- musti be. developed promptly, ,rmplate)y and in orderly fashion.- It . is not' conservation to leave the natu ral . resources undeveloped. Develop ment Is an indlspenti&hle part of the -conservation plan. The forests, the .mines, th water powers and the land itself must all be put to use. Those who- asxeri that conservation proposes r to tie them up, depriving this genera " (ion of their benefits in order, to hand ., them on untouched to the next, miss the whole point of the conservation idea. - "Conservation does not mean depriv ing the men of today of their natural rights In Wo- natural resources of the land. All it man8 Is that we-of this generation shall use oilr rights so as riot to' deprive those who come after lis of their natural rights in their turn. People Hast Have Their Share. . "In the third place, so far as posel iile, these resoureeg must be kept for ihe whole people and not handed over Tor exploitation to single individuals, M do hoi Intend to discourage . indl- jldual enterprise. Oti the contrary, we Geneva rne men of exceptional abilities fhould have exceptional rewards, up to a point where the reward becomes dis proportionate to the service, up to a jioint where the abilities are used to ; the detriment of the people as a whole. : "Thus our consistent aim is to favor Die actual settler, the man who takes .vp as much public domain as h him re-u can cumvaie ani ther makes a rermnnt '-home-. for his children whw come aner ntm; nut w are asalnsV the ins n, .no matter what his ability, who . . ... ' . i i j'i n.i-t...!i 'rt rnwssea , of j lre, to see to it that, the rights of the public aro proterU'rJ and the people en eouraged us long s consistent with this welfare. pn.J curhed when it becomes Inconsistent therewith, it Is necessary to invoke the aid of the government. There are points in which this government-aid can best he rendered by the states; that is, where the exercise of states' rights ' helps ' to secure popular rights; and as to those I 'believe in states' rights. "But there are large classes of rases where only the authority of the national government will secure the rights of the people; andjwhere this Is. the case I am convinced ,and a thorough be liever in the rights of the national gov ernment, pig business, for Instance, is no longer an affair f any one state; big business has become nationainstMi. an4 tlje qnly effective way. Of controll ing and directing and preventing abuses. In cpnnection with it is by hav ing the people nationalize this control in order to prevent their being exploit-, ed by the Individuals who have nation alized the business. Federal Control of Power Sites. "In the matter of conservation. I heartily approve of states' rights where, under our form of government, ; the state, and the state only, has the power to act. 1 cordially join with those who desire to see the state, within its own sphere, take the most advanced position in. regard to the whole matter or con servation. :- .-::' ;.,.-; - - ' . - "Take the. question of the control or the water power sltea. The enormous importance of water power sites to the future Industrial development of this country has been realized only within a very few years. , ' "Unfortunately the 'realization has come too late as regards many of the power sites; but thany yet remain with which our hands are free to fleai. we should make it our duty to. see that hareafter the power sites are kept under control of the general government for the use of the people as a whole; Uncle Sam Collects the Seat. "These should remain with the people as a whole, while tne use ts icaseo. on terms which shall secure an ample re ward to the . lessees, which shall . en courage the development and use of the water powers, but -which snail , not create a permanent monopoly nor" per mit the development to bet anti-social or to be in any respect hostile to the public good. The natiojj alone has the power to do this effectively, ana n ,is for this reason that you wilt find these corporations which wish to gam im proper advantages and to be freed from efficient control on the part of the pub lic doing all that they can to secure the substitution of state for national action. ' . . ..'', ''v---' Corporations Appeal Rldlcnled. . "There Is something fairly comic in th appeal made Tiy many of these men in favor of state control, when you realize that the great corporations seek ing the nrlvlleaes of developing the water power in any given state are at least as apt to be owned outside that state as within it. "The great corporations which are managed and largely owned , in the older states. are those which are most In evidence in developing and using the mines and water powers and forests of the new territories and the new states from Alaska to Arizona. 'i, Clamor for State Control. - "t have been genuinely amused dur ing the past two months at having arguments presented to me on behjtlf of certain rich men from New York and Ohio, for instance, as to; -why Colorado and other Rocky 'i mountain states should, manage heif bw -water Poef si towhef :fliTrmay , begod cUlaen's;. accordini) t r1pi )Jtb,ta,.ut naturally enough Hfieir spefat interests obscure their sense of the public needs; and. as their object is to escape an ef ficient control exercised In the interest of. all the people of the country, . they clamor to be put under the state instead' of under the national, government. "If we' are foolish enough to grant their requests, we shall have ourselves to blame when we wake up to find that we have permitted another privilege to intrench Itself and another portion of what should be kept for the public good to be turned over to individuals for purpose of private gain. legal Deadlock Grabbers' Object. "Remember also that mny of the men who protest loudly against effect ive national Action' will be the first to turn around and protest against state action If such action in its turn became effective, and would unhesitatingly in voke the law to show that the state had no constitutional power to act "Long experience has shown that it is tV no mean impossible in case of constitutional doubt, to get one. set of judicial decisions which render It diffl cult for the nation to act and another set which render it Impossible for the state to act In each case the privi leged beneficiaries of the decision In voke . the aid of those who treat . the constitution, not as a healthy aid to growth but as a fetish to prevent growth; and they assail the advocates of wise and cautious progress as being opponents of the constitution." Colonel Roosevelt here discussed live stock conditions and range conditions in Colorado. - . ' Pnta O. X. Upon Forest Service. "Regarding the forest service he said: ."The forest service has enemies be cause it is effective. Some of its best work has been met by ( bitterest oppo sition. "For example, it had done a real ser vice In blockading the road against the grabbers of water powers, and again by standing like a rock against the de mands of bogus mifiing concerns to exploit national forests. I have always done my beet to help the genuine miner. But it Is equally Important t6 enforce the law firmly against that particularly dangerous class which makes its Jiving off the public through fraudulent mining schemes." Concluding he said: ' "From the standpoint of conservation, the east has wasted much of its own superb endowments; and as an Ameri can, as a lover of the west, I hope that the west will profit by the east's bit ter lesson and will not repeat the mis takes of the east" CHIEF WOULD DISMISS -' SPECIALt POLICEMEN Chief of Police Cox calif d upon Mayor Simon this morning to announce that he had returned' from his vacation, and was back at work. The conversation drifted to the strike sttuation. , It was the opinion of the chief that half the special policemen nowon strike duty could be dismissed, tas the strike is prac tically over. There' has been no trouble for several days and no Indications of any. There are now 24 men on strike' duty, of which 12 will be retained. i" ' .iii e RESEf JT ACTIOil OF .'A.-:'.;' People Living on Belmont St. Will Use Publicity m Aid in Task of Opening Thorough fare to Mew Pack.

As soon as these cases had been set tled the city council declared the street opened. Before resolutions for Its im provement with hard surface could be passed the streetcar company applied to the United States court for an Injunc tion. The cempany, n Its petition for the enjoining order, declared that the city is seeking to take away the com pany's land without giving it it com pensation therefor. But when the viewers made their re- pert to the council, in which th. street railway aompany was awarded fi-dam bbbb in excess or Denents, the com pany's officials allowed the legal per- iuu jur remonsiraung against the ac tion of the viewers to elapse without making any objection.
