| the 27ih December, 1926
CITIZENS REPRESENTATIVES & SENATORS!
Or closing to day the Extraordinary Session
for which YOU WERE conyoked by the exercise
Of power conferred upon me by the constitu-
lion, ought to felicitate myself on your having
fulfilled the wishes and hopes OF our country -
If YOU have not been able to extend your alien
lion to all the points for the consideration OF
which you were assembled, 1t has been because
some Of them have absorbed your time BY the
deliberate meditation and examination which
they have required. You have. however, a.
dopted some important resolutions and you
have left others prepared for your worthy sue
| cessors.
BY authorizing the Executive to contract for
the opening or improvement OF roads, you have
taken step which musl have an extensive IN
auence on the increase OF the riches and pros
peri,y of the Republic. Under the benignant
influence Of this law, the circulation OF capital
will be promoted, and with it our soil Will dis
play lis inexhaustible treasures.
The decree OF the 10th Oct. is further step
in your labors for the organization OF the army
The law of he 3o,h Nov has extirpated an
evil which the revolution and war had preserv-
ed. By furnishing means Of transportation for
the army and abolisbing the odious privilege OF
Selling the same, you have secured the rights
o: individuals, relieved our active commerce
from its shacke,, and placed itin harmony, or.
der and freedom. This law, which justice and
wisdom demanded, attracts to you the blessings
of the people.
The pardon granted to the insurgent tribes
in Sono,a, is testimony of your foregigh, and
philanthropy. This indulgence will induce
! them to return 10 their duty and enables them
to avoid the abyss Of wretchedness, or absolute
destruction to which their lamenabe iniatha'
ton is preclpila,ing them. The Government hai
taken energetic measures TO eradicate this evil
and your humanity will be the talsam which
shall ultimately heal the wounds OF that state.
The regulations necessary to the admins
tra,on OF Justice have claimed your attention
and you have discussed and prepared subjects
Of importance in the several branches to which
they relate.
You nave also occupied yourselves with the
regulation Of the Tariff 50 essential to the defi
niiive organization Of the revenue Of the Re.
public.
