THE PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE

The annual message sent to
Congress on Tuesday by Mr..
Roosevelt is thoroughly in keep
ing with the man. Plain, force
full and impressive, it reads more
like q speech than a letter. His
arguments are clear and logical.
There is no evidence of trying to
make the facts tit q theory, but it
is plainly to be seen, that given
the certain truths lie has rea
soned the theory out. He gives
a composite view of the situation
as it comes to him in his daily
life. Unlike many preceding
messages, this contains but little
of routine department matters,
all of which are covered by the
annual reports Of the various
Secretaries.
Impressed as the President is
with the demand for better
regulation of transportation and
other corporate business, he
gives them the chief place i'll the
document. INSTRUMENTATION is
in line with his well-known views
of a square deal" His desire
is to have the present Interstate
Commerce Commission, or "a sim
liar body enlarged, vested with
power, not to make an absolute
rate, but to adjust rates when
quarrelS arise between patrons
and transportation companies !;
the action of the commission to
be subject to appeal to the
Courts, but the regulated rate to
be and remain in force pending
appeal. The Commission, lie
would also have authorized to
examine the accounts of the Com
panies especially astor ebates
and priyatecar lines agreements.
On the tariff question, he says
that this is not yet the time TO
engage in tariff tinkering. Later
in the session. if it should be
found necessary to raise more
taxes, the question could be con-
sidered. He does believe that
the Executive should have the
power to impose maximum tar
iff as against any nation that
treats US similarly. By this he
evidently refers to Germany's
latest tariff. The work on the
Panama Canal is progressing
slowly and the question of a "sea-
level" or clock" canal will have
to be definitely settled very
shortly. He asks for an investi-
CATION of the right of the govern
ment to look after the Insurance
Companies, doing an interstate
business. He fears; evidently,
that the Constitution may have
to be amended to reach these
companies.
Altogether it is an interesting,
able state paper.
