As a people, we have the problem of making our forests outlast this generation, or iron outlast this century, and our coal the next not merely as a matter of convenience or comfort, but as a matter of stern necessity.
William Howard Taft
Image
The laboring man and the trade-unionist, if I understand him, asks only equality before the law. Class legislation and unequal privilege, though expressly in his favor, will in the end work no benefit to him or to society.
