New York, Dec. 13.—In an adtliers
last evening before about 7u0 persons
who were present at the eighth annual
dinner of the Pennsylvania Society of
New York. Hon. Kllhu Root, secretary
of state, declared that state lines are
lo be obliterated and that the Fedcr il
covet nntent Is lo become all-powerful
in matters affecting the people. He
explained, however, how the stater, ntay
retain the semblance of self-govern
ment.
R Is generally believed ih*t Mr. Ilo*
deed the sentiments of President
Koosevfelt, ai* the secretary has recent Ip
been selected as the ofllclnl mouth
piece of the administration. The speech
lias caused no end of commenl. coming,
aa It did. upon the heels of the contro
versy growing out of California's ex
pressed desire to use Its own Judgment
In declaring whether or not Japanese
shall be admitted to the white schools
of that state.
Work of Government.
"It Is plainly to be seen." said Mr.
Root, "that the people of the country
are coming to the conclusion that In
certain Important respects the local
laws of the separate states which were
adequate for Hie due and Just regula
tion and control of business which was
transacted and the activity w hich be
gan and ended within the limits of sev
eral states, are Inadequate for the duo
and just control of the business of ac
tivities which extend throughout nil
the states, and more power of regula
tion and control Is gradually passing
Into the hands of the national govern
ment.
Sometimes by jht* assertion of iho
interstate commerce power, sometimes
by an assertion of the taxing power,’the
national government is taking up:th*
performance of duties which, under the
changed conditions, the separate statin
are no lohfer on paid* of adequately
performing. The Federal anti-trust law,
the anti-rebate law, the railroad rate
law', the meat inspection law. the oleo
margarine law. the pure-food law, arc
examples of the purpose, of the presi
dent of the Fulled Htutes to direct
through the agency of the national gov
ernment the things which the separate
.state governments formerly did ade
quately, but no longer «fo_ adequately.
Extinction of Control.
"1 submit to your Judgment, and I
desire to pie** upon you with all the
earnestness I posse**, that there |a but
one way In which the states of the
Union can maintain their power and
authority under the condition# which
are now before you, and that pay Is by
an awnkonlng on tlm part of the states
to a real question of their own duties
to the country at large.
"If any state Is maintaining laws which
promote and foster the enormous over
capitalization of corporations con
demned by the people of the countrj
S ensually, If any state maintain# law*
esigned to make easy the formation
of trusts and the creation of monopo
lies: If any .-stale maintain* laws which
permit condition# of child labor shock
ing the sense of mankind: if any state
maintains laws of marriage and divorce
so far inconsistent with the genera!
standard of the nation as to violently
derange the domestic relations which
the majority of the states desire to pre
serve. that state I* promoting tin-
tendency of the people of the country
to seek relief through the national gov.
eminent and to press forward the
movement for national control and the
extinction of local control.
"State* Fail in Duty."
"The Intervention of the national
government in many of the matters hi
w hich it has recently undertaken would
have been wholly unnecessary If the
states themselves had been olive to
their duty toward the general body of
the country. It 1# useless for the advo
cates of states' rights to inveigh against
the supremacy of the constitution'll
lav* of the United States or against
the extension of national authority In
the fields of nutional control, where
the state# themselves fall in the per
formance of their duties."
