APPENDIX F 189 may be submitted to the full membership of the association for approval or criticism; the progress of such agreement to constitute an available subject of annual discussion and report in the proceedings of the association, and be it further resolved that this general committee may appoint or confirm working committees in various departments to conduct the necessary correspondence and report partial or preliminary agreements to the general committee.* An incident of such a concerted movement, as above outlined, might be an enthusiast^ equal to or exceeding that of the recent Columbus Conference on Taxation, an interest that promises to be permanent and increasing. Work of this nature, which must of course be a growth, might afford pleasure as well as profit, and might readily enlist the interest of those who would make of themselves centres of agitation and development in the various fields of Capital, Labour, Rent, Wages, Interest, Taxation, Population, Production, Distribution, etc. If such a race is worth the running, what more appropriate than that the American Economic Association should set the pace ? It is not expected that agreements like these will be new discoveries, but simply old discoveries brought into stronger light, formulated, and subjected to continuous correction and perfection, through reconciliation of differences and re-state ment of old agreements to conform to the latest thought. Such an assembly and exposition of essential principles can but be of inestimable profit to the student, the teacher, the university, and the State, compassing, as it must eventually, an accepted body of principles — principles that may be taught fearlessly by teachers old and young, experienced or inexperienced, leading or led, and with a confidence and satisfaction akin to that pervading the domain of exact science. On the relatively solid ground of such accepted doctrine the * Professors Hollander, Carver, Seager, Fetter and others spoke in approval of the plan as presented, Professor Carver expressing the opinion that its adop tion would mark a new epoch. At a subsequent business meeting of the association the executive committee unanimously recommended, and the association adopted, the resolution without dissent.
