act only as q penalty upon honest men.
Moreover. no such law would hamper

though | am well aware that it will
take some time for people so to famil-
iarize themselves with such proposal
as 10 be willing to consider its adop-
ton. The need for collecting large
campaign funds would vanish if con-
gress provided an appropriation for the
proper and legitimate expenses of each
of the great national parties an appro-
priation ample enough to meet the ne
cessity for thorough organization and
machinery, which requires a large ex-
penditure Of money. Then the. stlpu-
lation should be made that no party
receiving campaign funds from the
treasury should accept more Than a
fixed amount from any individual SUBJ
scriber or donor. and the necessary
publicity for receipts and expenditures
could without difficulty be provided.
The Army. -.
The president recommends tegisla-
ton to increase the number of officers
in the army. especially in the medical
corps. The rate of pay of officers
should be greatly Increased: he de-
clares. There should be relatively
even greater increase in the rate of
pay of enlisted men If we are to keep
the, army in shape to he effective in
time of need. The president recom-
mendS severe examination of officers
for promotion up to the rank of major.
From that point promotion shonld be
purely by selection. He speaks. OF the
recent physical test of army officers
with emphatic appreciation and recon-
mends bill equalizing the pay of
officers and men of the army navy,
marine corps and revenue cutter serv-
ice.
The Navy.
Concerning the navy the president
says: -
In my Judgment. we should this
year provide for four batteships. But
1t Is Idle to build battleships unless, in
addition to providing the men and the
means for thorough training. We pro-
vide the auxiiaries for themssunless
we provide docks, the coaing~ stations,
the colliers and supply ships that they
need. We are extremely deficient in
coaling stations and docks on the Pa
cifc, and this deficiency shonld not
longer be permitted to exist. Plenty
Of torpedo boats and destroyers should
be built Both on the Atlantic and Pa
citic coasts Notifications of the best
type should be provided for all our
greatest harbors.
Until our battle fleet is much larger
than at present it should never be split
into attachments so far apart that they
could not in event of emergeHcy be
speedily united. Our coast line, is on
the Pacific just as much as on the At
lantic. The battle fleet should now
and then be moved to the Pacific. just
as at other times Ii shnull be, kent in
