JOINT STATEHOOD IS ORDERED
Continued from Page 1.

gress may suggest, proper control over the big corporations engaged in inter state commerce-that is, over the great majority of the big corporations it will be impossible to deal ade- quately with those evils.
 AFFIRMATIVE NOT PROHIBITVE.
 l am well aware of the difficulties of the legislation that I am suggesting and of the need Of temperate and eau tiouS action in securing it. I should empnatically protest against improp- erly radical or hasty action. The first thing to Go is to deal with the great corporations engaged in the business of interstate transportation. As I said in my message of December last the immediate and most pressing need, so far as legislation is concerned, is the enactment into law of some scheme to secure to the agents of the government such supervision and regulation of the rates charged by the railroads of the country engaged in interstate traffic as shall .summarily and effectively prevent the imposition of unjust or unreasonable rates. It must include putting a complete stop to rebates in every shape and form. This power to regulate rates, like all similar powers over. the business world, should be ex- ercised with moderation, caution, and self-restraint; but it should exist, so that it can be effectively exercised when the need arises.
 The. first consideration to be kept in mind is that the power should be af- firmative and should be given to some administrative body created by con- gress. If given to the present inter- state commerce commission or to reorganized interstate commerce com mission, such commission should be made unequivocally administrative. I do not believe in the government in terfering with private business more than is necessary. I do not believe in the government undertaking any work which can with propriety be left in private hands. But neither do I be- lieve in the government flinching from overseeing any work when it becomes evident that abuses are sure to obtain therein unless there is governmental supervision. It is not my province to indicate the exact terms of the law which should be enacted; but I call the attention of the congress to certain existing conditions with which it is desirable to deal. In my judgment the most important provision which such law should contain is that conferring upon some competent administrative body the power to decide, upon the case being brought before it, whether a given rate prescribed by a railroad is reasonable and just, and if it is found to be unreasonable and unjust, then, after full investigation of the complaint, to prescribe the limit of rate beyond which it shall not be law full to gO-the maximum reasonable rate, as it is commonly called-this de- cision to go into effect within a req sonable time and to obtain from thence onward subject to review by the courts. 1t sometimes happens at pres ent, not that a rate is too high, but that a favored shipper is given too low rate. In such case the commission would nave the right to fix this all

A RESTORATION OF AUTHORITY.


 This is only in form an innovation. In substance it is merely a restoration; i; for from the earliest time such regu- lation of industrial activities has heen recognized in the action of the law making bodies: and all that I propose is to meet the changed conditions in such manner as will prevent the com monwealth abdicating the power it las always possessed, not only in this country, but also in England before and since this country became sepa- rate nation.
 It has been a misfortune that the national laws on this subject have hitherto been of a negative or pro- hibitive rather than an affirmative kind, and still more that they have in part sought to prohibit what could not be effectively prohibited, and have in part in their prohibitions confounded what should be allowed and what should not be allowed. It is generally useless to try to prohibit all restraint on competition, whether this restraint be reasonable or unreasonable; and where it is not useless it is generally hurtful. Events have shown that it is not possible adequately to secure the enforcement of any law of this kind by incessant appeal to the courts. The department of justice has for the last four years devoted more attention to the enforcement of the antitrust legislation than to anything else. Much has been accomplished particularly marked mas been the moral effect of the prosecutions; but it is increasingly evident that there will be a very insult ficient beneficial result in the way of economic change. The successful prosecution of one device to evade the law immediately develops another de- vice to accomplish the same purpose. What is needed is not sweeping pro- hibition of every arrangement, good or bad, which may tend to restrict com petition. but such adequate supervi- sion and regulation as will prevent any restriction of competition from being to the ,detriment of the public as well as sucn supervision and regu- lation as will prevent other abuses in no way connected with restriction of competition. Of these abuses, perhaps the chief, although by no means the only one, is vercapitaliZation- ally itself the result of dishonest pro- motion-because of the myriad evils it brings in it's train; for such overcap- italiZation often means an imitation that invites business panic; it always conceals the true relation of the profit earned to the capital actually invest ed, and creates a burden of interest payments which is a fertile cause of improper reduction in or limitation of wages; it damages the small investor, discourages thrift, and encourages gambling and speculation; while per haps worst of all is the trickiness and dishonesty which it implies-for harm to morals is worse than any possible harm to material interests, and the debauchery of politics and business by great dishonest corporations is far worse than any actual material evil they do to the public. Until the na- tional government obtains, in some manner which the wisdom of the con-

to be encountered and the intricate and involved nature of the problem Their contention is true. It is a com plicated and delicate problem, and all kinds of difficulties are sure to arise In connection with any plan of solu- tion, while no plan will bring all the benefits hoped for by it's more opti- mistic adherents. Moreover, under any healthy plan, the benefits will de- velop gradually and not rapidly. Fiji naIly We must clearly understand that the public servants who are to do this peculiarly responsible and delicate work must themselves be of the high est type both as regards integrity and efficiency. They must be we'll paid for otherwise able men can not in the long run be secured; and they must possess a lofty probity which will re- volt as quickly at the thought of pan- dering to any gust of popular preju- dice against rich men as at the thought of anything even remotely re- sembling subserviency to rich men, But while fully admit the difficulties in the way, I do not for a moment ad- init that these difficulties warrant us in stopping in our effort to secure wise and just system. They should have no other effect than to spur us on to the exercise of the resolution, the even-handed justice, and the fer tility of resource, which we like to think of as typically American, and which will in the end achieve good re- suits in this as in other fields of ac- tivity. The task is a great one and underlieS the task of dealing with the whole industrial problem.
 SAFETY APPLIANCE.
 In my annual message to the fiftey- eighth congress, at it's third session, called attention to the necessity for legislation requiring the use of block signals upon railroads engaged in ln- terstate commerce. The number of serious collisions upon unblocked roads that have occurred with in past year adds force to the recommendation then made. The congress should pro- vide, by appropriate legislation, for the introduction of block signals upon all railroads engaged in interstate com merce at the earliest practicable date, as a measure of increased safety to the travelling public.
 The governments most effective aid in arriving at this result has been it's
 
 proved conditions are not more gen. eral is due to the insufficient number of inspectors employed. The inspection service has fully demonstrated it's usefulness, and in appropriating for it's maintenance the congress should make provision for an increase ill the number of inspectors.
 HOURS OF LABOR.
 The excessive hours of labor to which railroad employees in train ser vice are in many cases subjected is also a matter which may well engage the serious attention of the congress. The strain, both mental and physical, upon those who are engaged in the movement and operation of railroad trains under modern conditions is per haps greater than that which exists in any other industry, and if there are any reasons for limiting by law the hours of labor in any employment, they certainly apply with peculiar force to the employment of those up- on whose vigilance and alertness in the performance of their duties the safety of all who travel by rail de- pends.

HOW TO STOP REBATES.

Illegal transactions often occur un- der the forms of law. It has often oc- cured that a shipper has been told by a traffic officer to buy a large quan- tity of some commodity and then after il has been bought an open reduction is made in the rate to take effect inn mediately, the arrangement resulting to the profit of the one shipper and the one railroad and to the damage of all their competitors; for it must not be forgotten that the big shippers are at least as much to blame as any rail- road in the matter of rebates. The law should make it clear so that mo- body can fail to understand that any kind of commission paid on freight shipments, whether in this form or in the form of fictitious damages, or of a concession, a free pass, reduced pas senger rate, or payment of brokerage, is illegal. It is worth while consider ing whether it would not 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. Elevator allowances should be stopped, for they have now grown to such an extent that they are demoralizing and are used as rebates.
 The best possible regulation of rates would, of course, be that regulation secured by an honest agreement among the railroads themselves to carry out the law. Such a general agreement would, for instance, at once put a stop to the efforts of any one big shipper or big railroad to discrim- mate or secure advantages over some rival; and such agreement would make the railroads themselves agents for enforcing the law. The power vested in the government to put a stop to agreements to the detriment of the public should, in my judgment, be ac companied by power to permit, under specified conditions and careful super vision, agreements clearly in the inter est of the public. But, in my judg- ment, the necessity for giving this fur ther power is by no means as great as the necessity for giving the com mission or administrative body the above; and it may well be inadvisable to attempt to vest this particular pow CT in the commission or other admin istrative body until it already possess es and is exercising what I regard as by far the most important of all the powers l ~ecommend-as indeed the vitally important power-that to fix a given maximum rate, which rate, af- ter the lapse Of a reasonable time,

that are behindhand. and to secure approximately uniform legislation Of high character among the several states. In such a republic as ours the one thing that we can not affOrl to neglect is the problem of turning out decent citizens The future of the nation depends upon the citizenship of the generations to come: the ehil- dren of today are those who tomorrow will shape the destiny of our land. and we can not afford to neglect them. The legislature of Colorado has recOm- mended that the national government provide some general measure for the protection from abuse of children and dumb animals throughout the United States. I lay the matter before you for what trust will be yOur favorable consideration.
 WOMEN AT WORK.
 The department of commerce and labor should also make a thorough in- vestigation of the condition Of wome.i in industry. over five million Asaeri- can women are now engaged In gain ful occupations. yet there is an almost complete dearth of data upon whics to base any trustworthy conclusions as regards a subject as important as Co is vast and complicated. There Is need of full Knowledge on which to base ac- ton looking toward state and munici- pal legislation for the protection of working women. The introduction or women into industry is working change and disturbance in the dOmes- tic and social life of the nation. Tho decrease in marriage. and especially in the birth rate. has been colneldent with it.
 INSURANCE.
 The great insurance cOmpanie.s af- ford striking examples of corporation whose business has extended so far beyond the jurisdiction of the states which created them as to preclude strict enforcement of supervision and regulation by the parent states In Iny last annual message I recommended that the congress carefully consider whether the power of the bureau Of corporations can not cOnstitutionaliy be extended to cover interstate trans actions in insurance" Recent events have emphasized the importance of an early and exhaustive consideration of this question. to see whether it Is not possible to furnish better safeguard than the several states have been ablc to furnish against corruption Of the fragrant kind which has been exposed It has been only too clearly shown that certain men at the head of these large corporations take but small note of the ethical distinction between hon esty and dishonesty; they draw the line only this side of what may b. called law-honesty. the kind of hon esty necessary in order to avoid fall ing into the clutches of the law or course the only complete remedy for this condition must be found In an aroused public conscience. a higher sense of ethical conduct in the com munity at large, and especially among business men and in the great prOfes- sion of the law, and in the growth of a spirit which condemns all dishonesty, whether in rich or in poor man. whether it takes the shape of bribery or of blackmaiL But much can b. done by legislation which is not Only drastic but practical. There Is need of a far stricter and more uniform regulation of the vast insurance inter ests of this country. The United

ready established minimum rate as the maximum; and it would need only one or~two decisions by the commission to cure railroad companies of the prac- tice of giving improper minimum rates. I call your attention to the fact that my proposal is not to give the commission power to initiate or origi- nate rates generally, but to regulate a rate already fixed or originated by the roads, upon complaint and after in vestigation. A heavy penalty should be exacted from any corporation which fails to respect an order of the com mission. I regard this power to estab- fish a maximum rate as being essen tial to any scheme of real reform in the matter of railway regulation. The first necessity is to secure it; and un- less it is granted to the commission there is little use in touching the sub iapt a all
