There isno democracyin such aproposition. Andwhen Iuse that term I use it in its broadest and not its party sense. You may as well conm here and offer an anmendment asking to have turnpike roads built through my State or any other State as to demand that the Federal Government shallopen its coffers to make maps in order to induce immigration because of the mineral or lumber resources of this or that or any other sovereign State of this great Government. I oppose it because there are other States practicing a parsimnonious policy all around my State. east and west. north and south. who have refused to expend a dollar or do one lick of work lookIng to their own development. If you undertake to carry the United States Geological Survey into the States. you put every enterprising State upon an exact dead level with every other State that has never expended anything for this purpose. and our money and our efforts will go for naught.
