FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.

Interest rates are a potent factor I'm b,si-

communities and TO present the recurrence

1t is a singular fact that the term
message now universally applied TO an
executive communication to Congress, does
not appear in the Constitution. Neither
was it used in the early years of the gov
eminent. The Constitution says the Presi-
dent shall from time to time give to the
Congress information of the state of the
Union and recommend to their considera-
ton such measures as he shall Judge neces-
sary and expedient." Washington and
John Adams read their first annual "com-
munications' to Congress in person, and
their subsequent ones were sent in writing.
All were styled addresses" In Messages
and Papers of the Presidents edited by
Representative Richardson. the eight an
nual messages of Washington and the four
Of John Adams are styled addresses"
Jefferson ~inaugurated the custom, since
followed by all of his successors, of send
ing all messages in writing to Congress,
and the term message was first applied to
his annual message of 1901. In communi-
eating it to Congress Jefferson addressed
the following letter to the presiding officer
of each branch:
Sir-The circumstances under which we
find ourselves at this place rendering in
convenient the mode heretofore practiced
OF making by personal address the first
communication between the legislative and
executive ranches / nave adopted that
by message, as used on all subsequent oc-
casions through the session. In doing this
l have had principal regard to the con-
venience of the legislature, to the economy
of their time, to their relief from the en-
barraSSment of immediate answers on SUBJ
Jects not yet fully before them, and to the
benefits thence resulting to the public af-
fairs. Trusting that a procedure founded
on these motives will meet their approba-
ton, L beg leave through you. sir, to COM
municate the inclosed message, with the
documents accompanying it. to the honor
able the Senate. and pray you to accept for
yourself the homage of my high respect
and consideration.
This Is the first official use of the term
message" The inconvenient circumstance
alluded to was probably the bad road be-
tween the White House and the Capitol
Prior to this 1t had been customary for the
Senate and the House each to make a
separate reply in writing to the Presidents
communication. which reply was delivered
to him at the White House as soon as
possible after his communication was re-
ceived. With the beginning of Jefferson's
administrator this practice ceased.

THE OMNIBUS STATEHOOD BILL.

Indications point to a warm contest over
the so-called omnibus bill admitting Okla
homa, New Mexico and Arizona as States.
Washington dispatches state that the sub
committee of the committee on territories,
of which Senator Beveridge is chairman.
will report strongly against the admission
of either New Mexico or Arizona. AS the
subcommittee has recently visited these
territories and made a thorough personal
investigation of the situation its report
should carry much weight, and probably
will. But there will be a strong effort made
to override the report. 1t will be led by
Senator Elkins. aided by other senators on
both sides, and it is claimed they will have
a majority. The presence of a strong lobby
from all three of the Territories will help
to make the contest over this measure a
very spirited one.
There have been some g~rievous mistakes
made in past years in the admission of Ter
~ritories as States, and they should not be
repeated. The question is one that ought
always to have been considered and settled
on high grounds Of public policy and ma

the contrary. it has sometimes been de-
cided on low and narrow grounds. Mon.
tana, Wyoming and Idaho were admitted al
least ten years before they should have
been. Even now they have together a pop.
ulation OF less than 10000. yet they have
six senators, while Indiana. with a popula.
tion of 2.5l6,000. has only two. Several OF
the older States each gained more in pop

the omnibus bill Oklahoma is the only enc
that has even fairly good claims to be adj
mitted as a State. and it's ragged boundary
lines are a serious objection TO its admis-
sion. AS for Arizona and New Mexico,
they ave no claims whatever. At the last
census New Mexico had 1850 population

more than half the population of al aver

prevalent. The population in both Terrific
ries, largely hybrid. is confined to small
areas, and much more than half Of the
area of both is practically without popula-
ton. In short, the movement for the ad-
mission of Arizona and New Mexico is
based entirely On artificial and indefensi-
bic grounds, and if they are admitted now
ten or twenty years hence there will be
practical unanimity of opinion that a great
mistake was made.

Secretary of Commerce Needed.

1t is earnestly hoped that a secretary
of IN may be created. with a seat
in the Cabinet. The rapid multiplication
of questions affecting labor and capital,
the growth and complexity of the organiza-
lions through which both labor and capital
now find expression, the steady tendency
toward the employment Of capital in huge
corporations and the wonderful strides of
this country toward leadership In the in
ternational business world justify an ur-
gent demand for the creation of such a
position. substantially all the leading COM
mercial bodies in this country have united
in requesting its creation. 1t is desirable
that some such measure as that which has
already passed the Senate be enacted into
law. The creation of such a department
would in itself be an advance toward deal
ing with and exercising supervision over
the whole subject of the great corporations
doing an interstate business; and with this
end in view, the Congress should endow
the department with large powers, which
could be increased as experience might
show the need.
