Washington, Dec. S-President Roose-
velts message to the second session of
the F1fty-niRth congress deals with a
number of new and important subjects,
chief of which is the government prose-
cution of the trusts, the abuse of injunc-
tons In labor troubles, the negro ques-
don, the preaching of class hatred
between capital and labor, additional legis.
iation for the control of large corpora
lions, federal Inheritance and income
tax law and currency reform.
The message opens with a statement
of what the last congress left unfinished,
and of this he says
Il again recommend a law prohibiting
all corporations from contributing to the
campaign expenses of any party. Such
bill has already past one house of con-
gress. Let individuals contribute as they
desire: but let US prohibit in effective
fashion all corporations from making
contributions for any political purpose
directly or Indirectly. -
Another bill which has just past one
house of the congress and which is ur-
gently necessary should be enacted into
law is that comforting upon the govern
cases on questions of law. This right
exists in many of the states; 1t exists In
the District of Columbia by act of the
congress. 1t is of course not proposed
that in any case a verdict for the de-
PENDANT on the merits should be set
aside. Recently in one district where
sons for conspiracy in connection with
rebates, the court sustained the defend
ants demurrer; while in another juris-
diction an indictment for conspiracy to
obtain rebates has been sustained by
the court, convictions obtained under 1t,
and tive defendants sentenced to impris-
snment- The two cases referred to may
not be in real conflict with each other,
but II is unfortunate that there should
even be an apparent conflict. At pres
emit there Is no way by which the gov
eminent can cause such a conflict, when
Il occurs, to be solved by an appeal to
q higher court; and the wheels of justice
are blocked without any real decision of
the question. / can not too strongly
urge the passage of the bill in question.
a failure to pass will result in seriously
hampering the government in its effort
TO obtain justice, especially against
wealthy individuals or corporations who
do wrong; may also prevent the
government from obtaining Justice for

like to cali attention to the very unsat-
fsfactory state OF our criminal law, re-
setting aside the judgments of inferior
courts on technicalities absolutely un-
connected with the merits of the case

stantial justice. II would be well to en-
act a law providing something to the

ton of the entire cause, 1t shall affirma-

On the subject of the abolition OF in
functions In labor disputes, he says:
''In my last message suggested the en-
actment OF law in connection with the
issuance of injunctions, attention hav-
ing been sharply drawn to the matter
by the demand that the right of apply
Sng injunctions in labor cases should be
wholly abolished. 1t is at least doubtful
whether law abollshing altogether the
use of injunctions in such cases would
stand the test OF the courts: in which
case Of course the legislation would be
ineffective. Moreover, l believe II would
be wrong altogether to prohibit the use
of injunctions. 1t is criminal to permit
sympathy with criminals to weaken our
hands in UNFOLDING the law; and IL men
seek to destroy life or property by mob
violence there should be no impairment
of the power of the courts to deal with
them in the most summary and effective
way possible. But SO far as possible the
abuse OF the power should be provided
against by some such law as advocated
"in this matter OF intunctions there is
lodged in the hands of the judiciary a
necessary power which is nevertheless
subject to the possibility of grave abuse.

Is Income Tax CONSTITUTIONAL


"In its incidents, and apart from the
main purpose of raising revenue, an
income tax stands on an entirely differ
ent footing from an Inheritance tax, be-
cause 1t involves no question OF the per-
petuation of fortunes swollen to an un-
healthy size. The question Is In its
essence a question of the proper adjust
ment of burdens to benefits. AS the
law now stands IL is undoubtedly diff
cult to devise a national income tax
which shall be constitutional But
whether ii Is absolutely impossible Is an
other question ssd Ths rst purely rs
come tax law was past by the congress
in 1861 but the most important law deal

The question is undoubtedly very in

The Army and Navy.

The message closes with a plea for
the maintenapce OF tho navy at Its pres
mean the building OF one battleship each
year. or the present efficiency OF the
army and navy he says:
'The readiness and efficiency OF both tho
army and navy In dealing with the res

afresh their value to the nation. This
readiness and efficiency would have been
very much less had II not been for the
existence OF the general stan In the army

IL was fine demonstration OF the yalof
and efficiency of the general stan. sim,
ilarly, II was owing In large part to tina
general board that the navy was able
at the outset TO meet the Cuban crisis
. with such instant efficiency; ship after
ship appearing on the shortest notice at
any threatened point, while the marine
corps In particular performed lndispens'
able service. The army and navy war
colleges are OF incalculable value to the
two services, and they cooperate with
constantly Increasing efficiency and im'
portance.
''The congress has most wisely provided
for a national board for the promotion
OF rife practise. Excellent results have
already come from this law. but II does
not GO far enough. Our regular army
is SO small that in any great war we
should have to trust mainly to vol.
unteers; and In such event these volun,
teers should already know how to shoot,
