eu." So they expressed themselves
and they meant that a government
should be and do what the people
v.ant, no more and no less. They did
not believe In a ruling class or divine
ly appointed guides.
Our government began as a free
contract between independent states.
None were forced to adopt the con
stitution. It was invariably adopted
by a free vote of the people. New
I states have always Joined the union
by free contract. The admission of
a new state Is a political bargain,
promises made on both sides.
Oregon's government began in the
! O pical American way. by a voluntary
j agreement among the people. Thejr
i were living In arcadian anarchy, de
1 cided they needed a government and I
(met and formed one. all a matter of
contract.
Thus our national and slate govern
I ments began and have continued by
exntraot among the people, deriving
tbelr sanction from free consent and
r.ot from force. Shall we now mllitar
lie ourselves? Shall we desert the old
America!) Ideal? Why?
Contract I- Modifiable.
Some even claimed that the con-
tract mad" by a state was a dissoluble
DM but the Civil war disproved this
However, the fathers made it a inodifl
able contract. They held no thedry
lliat a government once established
becomes too sacred to be changed.
When governments become oppres
sive, when they no longer express the
l ople'l will then it becomes the right
and duty of the people to change or
abolish them.
The fathers of the republic provid
ed for change In ihe government by
constitutional amendment and man?
changes were made both in national
and state government.
There can be no progress without
change. Opposition to it comes from
those who profit by inwrought evils,
by those who have acquired vested
rights In the evil.
How can a government express the
wishes and serve the needs of the peo
ple unless It changes? What Jeffer
son meant by his statement that "the
best government governs least" wan
that the best government depends
bast on force and most on service.
Governing In his day meant using
force.
The fathers drew no fixed line be
tween what a government ought and
ought not to do. They held that the
government ought to do everything
that the people want done but must
flrsl be sure that the people do want
it The American Ideal of prepared-ne.-H
In government Is that It shall ex
press the peoples wishes arid serve
'.he peoples' need.
The fathers adopted various ex
pedients because they seemed best
fitted for this purpose. If they could
have found better ones they would
have adopted them. They put In the
amendment clause so that they could
adopt better expedients if they did
find them, and thus it was that we sc.
cured the Initiative and referendum.
There was nothing farther from the
minds of Franklin. Jefferson and
Washington than sacred tradition and
divine right. They were pioneer
thinkers and doers and expected us to
go on pioneering In thought and act.
"Ne'er thing the vict'ry won
"Nor lay thine armor down."
We must continue their pioneering
ii we make our government live up
to their ideal of loyal consent won by
service. How can we stop pioneering
when new worlds open before us every
day- new worlds, not of plains and
rivers, but of problem and expedient?
our fathers framed their Instituti
ons for 3. 000. nun people. We have
lUd.OUU.UUO to provide for. The old
house must be rebuilt to shelter the
family.
They had no poor. They had free
land and self-secraflcing families.
Tlio Contrasts.
They had no overtowerincr money
lords and they led the simple life. We
now have a national wealth of IIST.
B00,00$,000 and most of It is in u few
hands. And we have 11,000,004 people
in actual want, earning less than a
living wage.
They hud Industrial liberty. There
Were no Industrial kings in those days
and no rebellionus serfs, our indus
tries have fallen under great dynustics
who are continually at war with their
exploited workmen. Every great
trust is a threat to the American In
stitutions and liberty.
The natural resources, land, mines,
timber, game, were then free to all.
Now they are owned by vast economic
potentates who exercise the power of
life and death over us all.
They had no child labor problem.
Now we have 2.000,000 children grow
ing prematurely old and sick tn the
factorlea
Earning a living was for our fath
ers a simple affair of willing hunda
and ready brain. Now it requires
more and more training every day
And of our 11,000,000 wage earners.
14,000,000 are utterly untrained. Of
these workers 1.600.000 are maimed
every year and 35,000 killed outright
at their work.
The fathers had no immigration
problem. To them America looked big
enough to hold the population of the
world. Now we feel crowded. There
are more mouths than Jobs.
They had no problem of the hy
phen. .Vow European race feuds be
gin to stir. European intrigues seep
Into our politics.
So I might go on and enumerate
many other problems with which we
of today must deal and which wer
unknown to the makers of this retpubi
lie. I cite these problems not to dis
courage or to depress but to stir to
action. We cannot sit down in the
faith that all of our problems wer
solved by our fathers. They are here
today, big and menacing, and we
.solve them ourselves. We must UM
our brains in pioneering thought Just
art the fathers used theirs.
Mental Prvparodness Nilil.
We need mental preparedness, the
CI nvlction that new times and new
problems need new Ideas. And new
Ideas will, if we are not afraid of them
work out in new methods of service
to the people such as state markets,
rural credits, public ownership of
utilities, state Insurance and old age
Insurance.
New and more adequate expressions
in government of the peoples wishes
will secure greater service and so lead
on to that complete loyalty which
glows out of intelligent love.
It Is not enough to teach the peo
ple that they ought to love the gov
ernment and salute the flag. Outer
acts may be deceptive. We must
make the government so fully expres
sive of their highest ideals so aptly
conformable to their wishes and so
serviceable to their deepest needs that
tbey cannot help loving It.
And when they have learned to
li ve the government they will need
no compulsion to defend It. How tn
secure this rational and unconquer
able love which makes sacrifice Joy
ful and death welcome Is the great
problem of preparedness. We shall
solve It by living up to the fathers'
ideals. Make the government express
e,ver more promptly and fully the peo
ples' will. Make It ever richer In ser
vice to the common man.
