RECOMMENDATIONS IN MESSAGE

In the presidents message to con-
gress the following recommendations
are made by Theodore Roosevelt:
The war against successful dishon-
esty should continue.
The present panic, brought on by
the speculative folly of a part of the
business community, should be re-
lieved for the benefit of the innocent.
Big corporations should be placed
under the control of the government
and the sovereignty of the national
government established.
Laws concerning corporations
should not be negative, but afirma-
tive.
The interstate commerce commits
sion should have its power extended
to pass upon future issue of railroad
securities.
Combinations of labor and of CAPT
tai are necessary. Seek to control
these combinations, not to prevent
them.
The antitrust law should be made
more effective and in accord with
present conditions.
The banking laws must be changed
If the banks are allowed to issue
notes at a certain season so high a
rate of interest should be charged the
banks that the notes will be driven
out of circulation when not absolutely
needed.
The present tariff laws should be
retained, and an effort ID change
them would unsettle business condi
tons
An inheritance and income tax
should be part of the system of gov
eminent taxation.
The criminal laws must be changed
eliminating technicalities and sentt
mentality
The law by injunction should be
changed so as not to invade rights.
The national government should be
model employer and provide foi
those injured in its service.
The eight-hour law should be pu
in force on all government work.
Compulsory investigation of strikes
and lockouts should be made, and tn,
disputes settled without loss of time
and energy.
The farms and their products mus
be protected. What is wanted is small
farms and many farmers.
Irrigation should be developed anC
changes should be made in the lanC
laws. Mineral lands should not be al
lowed to fall into the hands of private
owners. and the timber must be pre-
served.
Postal savings banks should be es
tablished.
The government should provide
campaign expenses.
The feet should be strengthened
It is not for coast defense, but for of
| fensive fighting
