A physician TO ILL SMS Secretary Root Tells Nation of the Scheme. POWER OF STATES NOW THREATENED He Says That Future Will Find Local Authority Only a Meinorv. t New York. Dee. 13. —In an address, last evening before about 700 persona who were present at the eighth annual - dinner of the Pennsylvania Society of. N>w York, Hon. Kllhu Root, gee rot ary 1 «C state, declared that at a re line* are to be obliterated and that the Ped4r.1l j government la to become all-powerful j in mattera affecting the people. He! •x plained. however, how the states may ; otaln the semblance of self-govern-*| tnent. It Is generally believed that A|r. Rujt | oleed the sentiments of President Roosevelt, ns the secretary has recently been selected as the offldnl mouth- j piece of the administration. Tim speech : has caused no end pf comment, coming.. as It did. upon the heels of the contro versy growing out of California's ex- j pressed desire to use Its own Judgment' In declaring whether or not Japanese ‘Hull be admitted to the while schools of that state. Work of Government, t Is plainly lo be seen." said Mr. Root, “tlmt the people of the country are coming to the conclusion that in certain Important respects the local laws of tlie separate states which were adequate for the due and Just regula tion and control of business which wa itansaeted and the activity which be gan and ended within the limits of *ev- ral states, are inadequate for the due and just control of the business of ac* tlvitles which extend throughout nil the slates, and more power fot regula tion and control Is gradually passing the hunds of the national govern ment. “Sometimes by the assertion of Hi*’ interstate commerce power, sometimes h.v an assertion of the taxing power, the national government l?< taking up t!»•» performance of duties which, under the changed conditions, the separate states hfe ho longer capable of adequately performing. The Federal anti-trust law. the anti-rebate law, the railroad ratio l*w. the meat inspection law. the oleo margarine law. the ptire-food law, are examples of the purpose of the presi dent of the United States to dire* t through the agency of the national gov ernment the things which the separate state governments formerly did ade quately, but no longer do adequately. Extinction of Control. ' "I submit to your Judgment, and I desire to press upon you with nil the earnestness I possess, that there is but one way In which the slates of the Union can maintain tlielr i*m\er and authority under the conditions which are now before you. ami tlmt why Is by nn awakening on the part of the states to n real question of their own duties to the country at large. "If any state U maintaining laws w hie promote npd foster the enormous over capitalization of corporations con detuned by tlie people of the countr generally, if any state maintains law designed to make easy the formation of trusts and the creation ,,f monup** lies; If any state maintains laws xvhicl permit conditions of child labor shock Ing the sense of mankind; If any state maintains laws of marrlnge And divorce so far inconsistent with the general standard of the nation as to violently derange the domestic relations which the majority of the states desire to pre serve. that state Is promoting the tendency of the people of the country to seek relief through the milloiiul gov ernment and to press forward the movement for national control und the extinction of local control. “States Fail in Duty." "The Intervention of tlie-national government in many of the matters In which It has recently undertaken would have been wholly unnecessary If th» states themselves had been alive to their duty toward the general body of the country. It Is useless for the advo- ales of states' rights to inveigh against tlie supremacy of the constitutional laws of tiie United States or against the extension of national authority In the Helds of national control, where the states themselves fall in the per formance of their duties."
