posed by the recent provisions OF our
immigration laws as well as by our in
creasing trade In many parts OF the
world the lack of suitable quarters for
our embassies, legations, and con-
sulates detracts from the respect in
which our officers ought to be held and
seriously lmpairs their weight and in
huence.
Salaries Of Diplomats
Suitable provision should be made
for the expense of keeping our dlplo-
matic officers more fully informed Of
what is being done from day to day in
the progress Of our diplomatic affairs
with other countries. The hack OF such
information, caused by insufficient ap-
propriations available for cable tolls
and for clerical and messenger service,
frequently puts our officers at great
disadvantage and detracts from their
usefulness. The salary list should be
readjusted. II does not now corre-
spond either to the Importance of the
service to be rendered and the degrees
of ability and experience required in
the different positions ot to the differ
ences in the cost of living. In many
cases the salaries are quite inadequate.

MORE ADEQUATE
PROVISION FOR
STATE DEPARTMENT

1 recommend more adequate provi-
sion than has been made heretofore for
the work of the department of state
Within a few years there has been a
very great increase in the amount and
importance of the work to be done by
that department, both in Washington
and abroad. This has been caused by
the great increase of our foreign trade
the Increase of wealth among our peo-
pie, which enables them to travel more
generally than heretofore, the increase
of American capital which is seeking
investment in foreign countries, and
the growth of our power and weight
in the councils of the civilized world
There has been no corresponding in
crease of facilities for doing the work
afforded to the department having
charge of our foreign relations.
Force Too Small
Neither at home nor abroad is there
sufficient working force to do the
business properly. In many respects
the system which was adequate 70 the
work of twenty-five or even ten, years
ago, is inadequate now, and should be
changed. Our consular force should
be classified, and appointments should
be made to the several classes, with
authority to the executive to assign the
members of each class to duty at such
posts as the interests of the service
require, instead of the appointments
being made as at present to specified
posts. There should be an adequate
inspection service, so that the depart
ment may be able to inform itself how
the business of each consulate is being
done, instead of depending upon casual
private information or rumor. The fee
system should be entirely abolished,
and a due equivalent made In salary to
the officers who now exc out their
subsistence by means of fees. Sufti-
cient provision should be made for a
clerical force in every consulate, COM
posed entirely of Americans. instead OF
the insufficient provision now made,
which compels the employment of great
numbers of citizens of foreign coun-
tries whose services can be obtained
for less money. AT large part OF ouy
consulates the office quarters and tn.
clerical force are inadequate TO the
performance Of the onerous duties Inn
