EXTRACTS FROM MESSAGE.
Important Recommendations Made
President Roosevelt in His
Message to Congress.

In his message sent to congress Tues
gay President Roosevelt trained his
heavy artillery on one subject-the re-
gulation of corporations doing an inter-
state business. particularly the railroads
de avoids raising an Issue on other i'm
portant questions, but with all the
strength Of his strenuous nature, he in
sists that the railroads must give the
people "a square deal"
After congratulating the people Of the
country upon the nations prosperity.
the president plunges into the question
OF tho regulation Of corporations doing
an interstate business.
THE corporation has come to stay,
just as the trade union has come to
stay" says the president Each should
be favored SO long as it does good. But
each should be sharply checked when it
acts against law and justice"
After declaring that state regulation
would be Ineffective, the message sounds
the keynote of the presidents plan;
Il believe that this regulation and
supervision can be obtained by the enact
ment of law by the congress. IF this
proves impossible. it will certainly be-
necessarily ultimately to confer in fullest
form such power upon the national gov
ernmeht by a proper amendment of the
constitution
The transportation companies must be
dealt with first, declares the president
"The most important provision which
such law should contain is that confer
ring upon some competent admiuistra-
tive body the power to decide. upon the
case being brought before it, whether a
given rate is reasonable and just, and,
if it is found to be unjust, then, after
full inve- tigation, to prescribe the limit
of rate beyond which it shall not be
lawful to GOETHE maximum reasonable
rate tnis decision to go into effect with
in a reasonable time and to obtain from
thence onward. subject to review by
the conrts.
1T sometimes happens. not that rate
is too high, but that favored shipper
is given too low rate. In such case
the commission would have the right to
fix this already established minimum
rate as the maximum, and it would need
only one or two such decisions to cure
railroad companies of the practice Of
giving improper minimum rates."
A most stringent auti-rebate law is
urged. 1T might be wise to confer on
the government the right of civil action
against the beneficiary Of a rebate for
at least twice the value of the rebate;
this would help stop what is really
blackmail."
The president insists that private car
lines, refrigerator charges and other de-
vices of the skilled rebater, should also
come under the supervision of the gov
eminent; and Uncle Sam should be
clothed with full power to examine the
roads books.
Discussing the problem of capital and
labor, the president says: I'm sthe past
the most direful among the influences
which have been brought about the
downfall of republics has ever beer the
growth of the class spirit. If such a
spirit grows up in this republic it will
ultimately prove fatal to MS.
This government is not and never

cation law is reported. Notifications
of existing land laws are suggested.
Congress is asked to provide for the
care of the graves of the Confederate
dead.
Laws to regulate immigration and to
exclude undesirable foreigners are
urged. 1.-The stock out of which Amer
lean citizenship is to be built should be
strong and healthy, sound in body,
mind and character"
! While the Chinese coolies should be
excluded, the president urges the desir-
ability of admitting Chinese students
and business men.
Much space is devoted to an account
of conditions in the Philippines, which
are described as none too favorable.
The president would establish free
trade between the islands and the Unit
ed States, except as 20 sugar and to-
bacco, On these latter articles he would
make the duty Is per cent of the pres
emit rates until July 1, 1909, and after
that free trade.
Hawaii's industrial problems are re-
viewed, but the president emphatically
refuses to endorse the planners plea for
cheap labor.
Capital should be encouraged to in
vest in the Philippines and Porto Rico
and present statutory restrictions should
be modified.
A delegate is asked for Alaska.
The admission Of Indian territory and
Oklahoma as one state and New Mexico
and Arizona as another is urged.

these great corporations take but small
note of the ethical distinction between
honesty and dishonesty; they draw the
line only this side Of what may be called
law-honesty, the kind of honesty neces-
sary to avoid falling into the clutches
OF the law" Federal supervision and
regulation is urged.
The president handles the tariff cues
tion gingerly. The revenues must
equal the Expenditures. he says. Last
year there was deficit. Unless the
deficit can be met in some other way
the revenue laws must be revised.
These changes, If made, should be along
the lines of reciprocity.
Economy is urged, including the
adjustment of the office Of receiver of
public money in land offices.
A more elastic currency is suggested,
but the president does not father plan.
The need of thorough reorganization
of the executive departments is pointed
out.
All contributions by corporations to
any political committee or for any DO
litical purpose should be forbidden by
law says the president in urging a
more stringent law controlling federal
elections.
The president announces the second
The Hague peace conference and, while
eulogizing those who are working for
international arbitration, contends that
general disarmament is impossible at
this time, "There il more need to get
rid of the causes of war than of the i'm
plements of war"
The Monroe doctrine is dealt with at
length. The president probably has the
Venezuelan problem in mind, as he
writes: Under no circumstances will
the United States use the Monroe doc
trine as cloak for territorial aggres
sion. Moreover, we must make it evil
dent that we do not intend to permit
the Monroe doctrine to be used by any
nation on this continent as shield to
protect it from the consequences Of its
own misdeeds against foreign nations. /"
The president urges legislation to
make the army not larger, but more
efficient. To, this end he suggests re-
ducing the number of armysposts and
increasing the Importance Of those re-
naming.
The navy should not be increased be-
you'd the present number of units. It is
necessary. however. to substitute eff
Gent for inefficient units. as the latter
become worn ont. Emphasis is laid mp
on the lessons taught by the Russo
japanese war.

President VIII Force Senate.

President Roosevelt has taken
a decided stand to coerce the
Senate to take action on rail
road matters. If the measure
passes, it will give the govern
ment the right to regulate the
railroad rates on all the lines in
the United States.
Mr.. Van Duzer, of Nevada,
has declared his intention of
standing by the President un-
reservedly in this matter, and
makes the statement that there
has been no more courageous
action than that of the Presi-
dent, since the days of Andre "
Jackson, because he has taken
the lead far in advance of his
party.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
a bill in the Assembly Tuesday
which provides for the mainten-
aDce of the State Chamber of
Commerce. The measure orders
that the state pay to the Cham
Der of Commerce $50 each
month for the coming two
years, $4,000 in all. This is in
order that they may be enabled
to maintain their present ex-
hibit in Reno.
After the second reading, the
bill was referred to the judiciary
committee, who it is thought,
will make a favorable report on
the measure.
The preamble of the bill says
that, whereas. the Chamber of
Commerce has been maintained
for several years by private sub
scriptions at cost of over
So 600 a year, and has been ben
e6cial to the state by encourag-
ing immigration, therefore de
serving of assistance from all
the residents of the state.
The fourth section provides
for the reversion of the money
to the state, should the display
at Reno be discontinued for two
consecutive months.
