Governor Herricli's Address.

Discussing Legislation and Prog
ress." former Governor Herrick quoted
extensively from the address OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Indianapolis. and
emphasized the Presidents statement
that railroads to -day are not over
ca pitalzed. Railroad managers. he
said, are face to face with situation
such as no human foresight could have
anticipated Restrictive legislation,
however wise, he said, is inopportune
at this time Continuing. he said:
Rolling stock. trackage and ter
minal facilities ARE entirely made
quate to the demands OF the shipper
and to meet such a situation. labor and
materials must be secured Mt the
highest cost that has ever obtained,
funds must be drawn from market
In which capital Is scarce and high
priced, and terminals must be en-
larged In cities where the price of land
is almost prohibitory. The situation
is not local, for there has been a world
wide stretching OF credit II to this
/, is added legislation tending to under
mine the faith OF the investor in rail-
! road securities, the problem becomes
| well-nigh hopeless. While there are
other causes. the present low market
value OF securities would indicate that
| the general attack on these properties
| has had tendency to frignten the in
! weston and to depreciate the value OF
the securities at time when there
should be such confidence as to invite
investment The fact that a few pigs
have gotten in the trough is not suf-
i fcient reason for poisoning the food
on which they fatten.

THE CURRENCY.
Elasticity In Circulating Medium Pres.
 ent and Prime Necessity.

In my message to the congress a year ago I spoke as follows of the cur rency:
 Il especially call your attention to the condition of our currency laws. The national bank act has ably served great purpose in aiding the enor- nous business development of the country, and within ten years there has been an increase in circulation per capita from $21.41 to S33.0S. For sev- eral years evidence has been accumu- lating that additional legislation is needed. The recurrence of each crop season emphasizes the defects of the present laws. There must soon be q revision of them, because to leave them as they are means to incur liability of business disaster. Since your body adjourned there has been a fluctuation In the interest on call money from ? per cent to 90 per cent. and the fluc- tuation was even greater during the preceding six months. The secretary of inc treasury had to step in and by wise action put stop to the most vio- lent period of oscillation. Even worse than such fluctuations are the advance in commercial rates and the uncertainty felt in the sufIiciency of credit even at high rates. All commercial interests suffer during each crop period. Ex- cessive rates fer call money in New York attract money from the interior banks into the speculative field. This depIetes the fund that would other wise be available for commercial uses. and commercial borrowers are forced to pay abnormal rates, so that each fail a tax in the shape of increased in- terest charges is placed on the whole commerce Of the country.
 -'The mere statement of these facts shows that our present system is seri- OuSly defective. There is need of a change. Unfortunately. however. many Of the proposed changes must be ruled from consideration because they are complicated. are not easy Of cOnpre- tension and tend to disturb existing rights and interests. We must also rule out any psIn which would materi- ally impair the value Of the United States . per cent bonds now pledged to secure circulation. the issue of which vas made under conditions pe- cuiiariy creiitabla to the treasury.

mas come. On the contrary, the surest way to invite reaction is to follow the lead of either demagogue or visionary in sweeping assault upon property values and upon public confidence. which would work incalculable dam. age in the business world and would produce such distrust of the agitators that in the revulsion the distrust would extend to honest men who in sincere and sane fashion are trying to remedy the evils"
 The antitrust law should not be re pealed, but it should be made both more efficient and more in harmony with actual conditions. It should be so amended as to forbid only the kind of combination which does harm to the general public, such amendment to be accompanied by or to be an incident of grant of supervisory power to the government over these big concerns engaged in interstate business. This should be accompanied by provision for the compulsory publication of &C., counts and the subjection of books and papers to the inspection of the govern ment officials. A beginning has al- ready been made for such supervision by the establishment of the bureau of corporations.
