amended as to 10rDld only the kind of combination which does harm to the general public, such ammendment to be accompanied by, or be an incident of, a grant of supervisory power to the government over these big con- cerns engaged in interstate busi- ness.
 To- confer upon the national government, in connection with the amendment I advocate in the antitrust law, power of super vision over big business concerns engaged in interstate commerce, would benefit them as it has beneftedlthe national banks. In the recent business crisis it is noteworthy that the institutions which failed were institutions which were not under the super vision and control of the national government. Those which were under the national control stood the test.
 Elastic Currency
 We need a greater elasticity in in -Four currency; provided, of course, that we recognize the even greater need of a safe and secure currency. There must always be the most rigid examination bye the national authorities. Provision should be made for an emergency cur rency. The emergency issue should, of course, be made with an effective guaranty, and upon conditions carefully prescribed by the government. Such emer- gency issue must be based on adequate securities approved by the government, and must be issued under heavy tax.
 The Tariff
 This country is definitely conn., mitted to the protective system and any effort to uproot it could not but cause widespreadi indus rial : disaster. It is ..probably well that every dozen years or so the tariff laws should be care fully scrutinized so as to see that no excessive or improper benefits are conferred thereby, that proper revenue is provided, and that our foreign trade is The subject can not with wisdom be dealt with in the year preceding a Presiden- tial election, because as a matter of fact experience has conclu- sively shown that at such a time it is impossible to get men to treat it from the standpoint of the public good. In my judge ment the wise time to deal with the matter is immediately after such election.
 Income and Inheritance
 When our tax laws are revised the question of an income tax andsan inheritance tax should receive the careful attention of our legislators. In my judge ment both of these taxes should be part of our system of Federal taxation. The tax should if possible be made to bear more heavily upon those residing without the country than within A. 1Oo,,v ~.o...occ,,,o 4o.x

to Congress was read Tn both branches Tuesday. The members of Congress and members of Di- plomatic Corps paid strict at- tention to the reading of the doc ument. President Roosevelt's s communications to Congress have frequently created unfavorable comments from those opposed to his policies, but few words of anything but commendation were heard in the corridors or about the city after the members had had time to think over the vari- ous suggestions offered. Repub- licans and Democrats alike were impressed with the conservative tone of the message.
 The message fills eighteen col umns of the Los Angeles Times, but the following extracts give a fair summary of it's points and a general conception of its spirit.
 Causes of Financial Trouble
 No nation has greater resources than ours, and 1 think it can be truthfully said that the citizens of no nation possess greater energy and industrial ability. In no nation are the fundamen- tai business conditions sounder than in ours at this very moment: and it is foolish, when such is the case, for people to hoard money instead of keeping it in sound banks; for it is such hoarding that is the immediate occasion of the money strin- gency.
 When the misdeeds of success fully dishonest men are discover ed, suffering comes not only upon them, but upon the inno- cent men whom they have misled. It is a painful awakening, when ever it occurs: and, naturally, when it does occur those who suffer are apt to forget that the longer it was deferred the more painful it would be.
 Yet it is not possible to refrain because of such distress from striving to put an end to the misdeeds that are the ultimate causes of the suffering, and, as a means to this end, where pos sible to punish those responsible for them.
 Control of Railroads
 In my Judgement there should now be either a national incor- poration act or a law licensing railway companies to engage in interstate commerce upon certain conditions. The law should be so framed as to give to the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion power to pass upon the future issue of securities, while ample means should be provided to enable the commission, when ever in it's judgement it is neces- sary, to make a physical valu- ation of any railroad.
 The railroads and all other great corporations will do we'll to recognize that this control must come; the only question is as to what governmental body can most wisely exersize it.
 Supervision of Trusts
 The antitrust law should not | n II J L

gas fields in it's own possession and to lease the rights to develop them under proper regulations.
 Postal Savings Bank
 l commend to the favorable consideration of the Congress a postal savings bank system, as recommended by the Postmaster General. Through the agency of the postal savings banks hoarded money would be restored to the channels of trade, to the mutual benefit of capital and labor.
 Parcels Post
 l further commend to the Con- gress the consideration of the Postmaster-GeneraPs recom- mendation for an extension of the parcel post, especially on the rural routes. These recommend ations have been drawn up to benefit the farmer and the coun- try storekeeper.
 Shipping Laws
 Unless the Congress is prepar- ed by positive encouragement to secure proper facilities in the way of shipping between Hawaii and the mainland, then the coast wise shipping law should be so far relaxed as to prevent Hawaii suffering as it is now suffering.
 Campaign Contributions
 It is well to provide that cor porations should not contribute to Presidential or national cam paigns and furthermore to pro- vide for the publication of both contributions and expenditures. The need for collecting large campaign funds would vanish if congress provided an appropria- tion for the proper and legiti- mate expenses of each of the great national parties.
 Ocean Mail Service
 I call your especial attention to the unsatisfactory condition. of our foreign mail service which because of the lack of American steamship lines is now largely done through foreign lines. I recommend, therefore, a simple amendment to the ocean mail act of 1891, which shall au- thorize the Postmaster General in his discretion to enter into contracts for the transportation of mails to the republics of South America to Asia, the Philippines and Australia, at a rate not to $4 a mile for steamship S | of sixteen knots speed or upward subject to the restrictions and 1 obligations of the act of 1891.
 Army and Navy
 Perhaps the most important of l all legislation needed for the benefit of the army is a law to equalize and increase the pay of officers and inlisted men of the army, navy, Marine Corps and Revenue Cutter Service.
 It is evident that it is folly for this nation to base any hope of securing peace on any inter national agreement as to the limitation of armaments. Such | being the fact it would be most | unwise for us to stop the up- building of our navy. To build | one battleship of the best and 1 most advanced type a year would | barely keep our fleet up to it's present force. This is not In my judgement, we shoud this year provide for four battleships.
 Foreign Policy
 In foreign affairs this country's steady policy is to behave toward | other nations as a strong and | self-respecting man should be- have toward the other men with whom he is brought in contact. Tn other words, our aim is dis interestedly to help other nations

industry as a like tax would be not a small fortune.
 Abuse of Inlunctlon

Abuse Of Injunction
 Instances of abuse in the grant ing of injunctions in labor dis putes continue to occur and the resentment in the minds of those who feel that their rights are be- ing invaded and their liberty of action and of speech unwarrant- ably restrained continues like wise to grow. l earnestly com mend to the attention of the Con- gress this matter, so that some way may be devised which will limit the abuse of injunctions and to protect those rights which from time to time it unwarrant- ably invades.
 Employers Liability.
 The number of accidents to wage-workers, including those that are preventable and those that are not, has become appall- ing in the mechanical, manufac- turing and transportation opera tions of the day. The law should be made such that the payment for accidents by the employer would be automatic instead of being a matter for lawsuits. Workmen should receive certain and definite compensation for all accidents in industry irrespective of negligence.
 Labor Disputes
 l renew ,my previous recom- mendation that the Congress fa- vorably consider the matter of the machinery for com pulsory investigation of such in- dustrial controversies as are of sufficient magnitude and of suffi- cient concern to the people of the country as a whole to warrant the Federal governmental taking action.
 Work as Profession
 Our school system is gravely defective in so far as it puts a premium upon mere literary training and tends therefore to train the boy away from the farm and the workshop. The calling of the skilled tiller of the soil, the calling of the skilled mechan- ic, should alike be recognized as professions, just as emphatically as the callings of lawyer, doctor, merchant or clerk.
 Water Highways
 Our great river systems should be developed as national water highways. The National Gov should undertake this work, and 1 hope a beginning will be made in the present con- gress. From the Great Lakes to the mouth of the Mississippi there should be a deep waterway with deep waterways leading from it to the east and the west.
 Irrigation
 Irrigation should be far more extensively developed than at present, not only in the states of the Great Plain and the Rocky Mountains, but in many others. The work of the reclamation ser vice in developing the larger op- portunities of the western half of our country for irrigation is more important than almost any other movement.
 Land Law Reform
 The land law system which was designed to meet the needs of the fertile and well watered regions of the Middle West has largely broken down when ap- piled to the dryer regions of the Great Plains, the mountains and much of the Pacific slope, where 3 farm of 160 acres is inadeQuate

FOre1gn POIIcy
 In foreign affairs this country's steady policy is to behave toward other nations as a strong and self-respecting man should be- have toward the other men with whom he is brought in contact. Tn other words, our aim is dis interestedly to help other nations where such help can be wisely given without the appearance of meddling with what does not concern us; to be careful to act as a good neighbor; and at the same time, in goodnatured fashion, to make it evident that we do not intend to be imposed upon.
 In view of the close neighbor- hood of the two countries the relations which exist between Mexico and the United States are just cause for qualification.
