complete oblivion. Tt is useful at
home, and is meeting with reeogni
ton abroad because-we hace adapted
our application of it to meet the
growing and changing needs of the
hemisphere. When we announce
policy, such as the Monroe Doctrine
we thereby commit ourselves to the
consequences of the policy, and
those consequences from time to
time alter. it is out of the question
to claim a right and yet shirlS the
responsibility for its exercise Not

INSURANCE

The great insurance companies at
ford striking examples of corpora
tons whose business has extended so
far beyond the jurisdiction of the
States which created them as to pre-
clude strict enforcement of super
vision and regulation by the parent
States. In my last annual Message
I recommended EEthat the Congress
carefully consider whether the power
of the Bureau of Corporations can
not constitutionally be extended to
cover interstate transactions IN in
sl1rance." Recent events have en-
phasized the Importance of an early
and exhaustive consideration of this
question, to see whether it is not
possible to furnish better safeguards
that the several States have been able
to furnish against corruption of the
fragrant kind which has been expos
ed. 1t has been only too clearly
shown that certain of the men at the
head of these large corporations take
but small note of ethical distinction
between honesty and dishonesty;
they draw the line only this side of
what may be called law-honesty, the
kind of honesty necessary in order
to avoid falling into the clutches of
the law. OF course the only com
plete remedy for this condition must
be found in an aroused public con
science, a higher sense of ethical con-
duct in the community at large, and
especially among business men and
in the great profession of the law
and in the growth of a spirit which
condemns all dishonesty, whether in
rich man or in poor man, whether it
takes the shape of bribery or of
blackmaiI. But much can be done
by legislation which is not only
drastic but practical. There is need |
of far stricter and moro uniform
regulation of the vast insurance in
terests of this country. The United
States should in this respect follow
the policy of other nations by pro-
viding adequate national superyis-
ion Of commercial interests which
are clearly national in character

CURRENCY

Every consideration of prudence
demands the addition of the element
of elasticity to our currency system.
The evil does not consist in an IN
ADEQUATE volume of money, but IN
the rigidity of this volume, which
does not respond as it should to the
VARYING needs of communities and OF
seasons. Initiation must be avoided
but some provision should be made
that will insure a larger volum" oil
money during the fall and winter
months than in the less active sea-
sons of the year, so that the currency
will contract against speculation:
and will expand for the needs OF
legitimate business. At present the
Treasury Department is at irr"gu-
larlv recurring intervals obliged, in
the interest of the business world
that is, in the interests of the
American public-to try to avert
financial crises by providing a rene
dy which should be provided By Con
gressional action.

TO attend any serious change in these

is not possible to lay down any gen
eral rule by which to determine the
moment when the reasons for will
outweigh the reasons against such
change. Much must depend, not
merely on the needs, but on the &C.
sires, of the people as a whole; Tor
needs and desires are not necessarily
identical. OF course no change can
he made on lines beneficial to, or
desired by. one section or one State

4 general agreement among the citI-
zcns of the several States, as repre-

change is needed and desired in the
interest of the people as whole; and

make it in such shape as will com

year there was a deficit Unless our
expenditures can be kept within the
revenues then our revenue laws must

to attempt to outline what shape
such a readjustment should take,
for it is as yet too early to say wheth'

should be considered whether it is
not desirable that the tariff laws

BUSINESS METHODS
In DEPARTMENTS

At various times ] have Instituted
investigations into the organization
and conduct of the business Of the
Executive Departments. While
none of these inquiries have yet
progressed far enough to warrant
final conclusions, they have already
confirmed and emphasized the gen
eral impression that the organi|a-
ton of the Departments is often
faulty in principle and wastefGl in
results, while many of their business
methods are Anticipated and in@tIc-
lent. There is every reason |hy
our executive governmental machih'
cry should be at least as well plan
ned, economical, and efficient as the
best machinery of the great business
organizations, which at present Is
not the case. To make it so is a
task of complex detail and essential
ly executive in its nature; probably
no Legislative body, no matter how
wise and able, could undertake it
with reasonable prospect of success.
recommend that the Congress con-
slider this subject with view to pro-
vide by legislation for the transfer
consolidation, ard as
of duties and executive or
or parts of organizations
and for the changes in business
within or between the
several Departments, that will bczt
promote the economy, efficiency, anJ
