OF revenue dangerous. Proofs that such
state OF affairs exists in some localities

to correct these evils is beyond the con-
troll OF the State authorities, l do not

tive of the United States, acting within
the limits of existing law, is sufficient for
the present emergency, is not clear.
Therefore, / urgently recommend such
legislation as in the judgment of Congress

that such laws as shall be passed In pur-
susnce of this recommendation, shall ex-
pire at the end of the next session of
Congress. There is no other subject on
which would recommend legislation du-
ring the present session.
