state commerce upon certain conditions. The law should be so framed as to give to the Interstate Commerce Commission power to pass upon the future issue of securities, while ample means should be provided to enable the Commission, whenever in it's judgment it is neces- sary, to make a physical valuation of any railroad. As l stated in my Mes sage to the Congress a year ago, rail roads should be given power to enter into agreements, subject to these agree ments being made public in minute detail and to the consent of the Inter state Commerce Commission being first obtained. Until the National Govern ment assumes proper control of inter state commerce., in the exercise of the authority it already possesses, it will be impossible either to give to or to get from the railroads full justice. The railroads and all other great corpor- ations will do well to recognize that this control must come; the only ques- tion is as to what governmental body can most wisely exercise it. The courts will determine the limits within which the Federal authority can exercise it, ard there will still remain ample work within each State for the railway com mission of that State; and the National Interstate Commerce Commission will work in harmony with the several State commissions, each within it's own prov
 ince, to achieve the desired end

comm end to the attention of the Con- gress this matter, so that some way may be devised which will limit the abuse of iniunctions and protect those rights which from time to time it unwarrantably evades. Moreover, dis content is often expressed with the use of the process of injunction by the courts, not only in labor disputes but where State laws are concerned. l re- frain from discussion of this question as I am informed that it will soon re- ceive the consideration of the Supreme Court.
 The Federal courts must of course decide ultimately what are the res pective spheres of State and Nation in connection with any law, State or Ma tional, and they must decide definitely and finally in matters affecting individ- ual citizens, not only as to the rights and wrongs of labor, but as to the rights and wrongs of capital; and the National Government must always see that the decision of the court is put into effect The process of injunction is an essential adjunct of the courts do ing its work we'll; wise use of this pro. cess is from every standpoint commend able. But where it is recklessly or un necessarily used, the abuse should bt censured, above all by the very mer who are properly anxious to prevent any effort to shear the courts of this neces sary power. The courts decision must be final; the protest is only against the conduct of individual judges in need lessly anticipating such final judgment or in the tyrannical use of what is nom irally temporary injunction to accom- plish what is in fact permanent de cision.

Revenue.

The income account of the Nation is in a most satisfactory condition. For the six fiscal years ending with the lst of July last, the total expenditures and revenues of the National Govern ment, exclusive of the postal revenues and expenditures. were. in round num- bers. revenues. $3.465, 100000 and ex- penditures, s3,275, 5,000,O00. The net ex- cess of income oyer expenditures, in- cluding in the latter the fifty millions expended for the Panama Canal, was one hundred and ninety million dollars for the six years, an average of about thirty-one millions year. This repre- sents an approximation between in- come and output which it would be hard to improve. The satisfactory working of the present tariff law has been chiefly responsible for this excel lent showing. Nevertheless, there is an evident and constantly growing feel ing among our people that the time is rapidly approaching when our system of revenue legislation must be revised.
 This country is definitely committed to the protective system and any effort to uproot it could not but cause wide spread industrial disaster. In other words, the principle of the present tariff law could not with wisdom be changed. But in a country of such phenomenal growth as ours it is prob ably well that every dozen years or SO the tariff laws should be carefully scrutinized so as to see that no exees- sive or improper benefits are conferred thereby, that proper revenue is pro- xrsA Ha ,g encouraged There must always be as a minimum tariff that will not only allow for the collection of an ample revenue but which will at least make good the difference in cost of produc- tion here and abroad; that is. the diff ference in the labor cost here and abroad, for the well-being of the wage worker must ever be cardinal point of American policy. The question should be approached purely from business standpoint; both the time and the man ner of the change being such as to arouse the minimum of agitation and disturbance in the business world, and to give the least play for selfish and factional motives. The sole consider ation should be to see that the sum total of changes represents the public good. This means that the subject can not with wisdom be dealt with in the year preceding Presidential election, because as matter of fact experience has conclusively shown that at such a time it is impossible to get men to treat it from the standpoint of the public good In my judgment the wise time to deal with the matter is i'm mediately after such election.

Income Tax and Inheritance Tax.

When our tax laws are revised the
 question of an income tax and an in heritance tax should receive the care ful attention of our legislators In my
 judgment both of these taxes should
 be part of our system of Federal tax ation. I speak diffidently about the income tax because one scheme for an income tax was declared unconstitu-
 tional by the Supreme Court; while in addition it is q difficult tax to admin ister in it's practical working, and great care would have to be exercised to see that it was not evaded by the very men whom it was most desirable to have taxed for if so evaded it would, of course, be worse than no tax at all; as the least desirable of all taxes is the tax which bears heavily upon the honest as compared with the dis honest man. Nevertheless, gradu- ated income tax of the proper type would be a desirable feature of Feder- al taxation, and it is to be hoped that one may be devised which the Supreme Court will declare constitutional. The tax, however, is both a far better method of taxation, and far more important for the purpose of having the fortunes of the country bear in proportion to their increase in size increase and burden of taxation. The Government has the ab- solute right to decide as to the terms npon which a man shall receive a be- quest or devise from another, and this

Currency.

In my Message to the Congress year ago I spoke as follows of the currency:
 ''I especially call your attention to the condition of our currency laws. The nationaI-bank act has ably served a great purpose in aiding the enormous business development of the country, and within ten years there has been an increase in circulation per capita from $21.4l to $33.0S. For several years evidence has been accommodating that additional legislation is needed. The recurrence of each crop season em
 phasizes the defects of the present laws. There must soon be revision of them, because to leave them as they are means to incur liability of business disaster. Since your body adjourned there has been fuctuation in the interest on call money from 2 per cent to 30 per cent, and the fluctuation was even greater during the preceding six months The Secretary of the Treasury had to step in and by wise action put stop to the most violent period of oscil- lation. Even worse than such fuctua- tion is the advance in commercial rates and the uncertainty felt in the suffic- iency of credit even at the high rates. All commercial interests suffer during each crop period. Excessive rates for call money in New York attract money from the interior banks into the spec ulative field. This deplctes the fund that would otherwise be available for commercial uses, and commercial bor- rowers are forced to pay abnormal rates, so that each fall tax, in the shape of increased interest charges, is placed on the whole commerce of the country.
 E The mere statement of these facts shows that our present system is ser iousiy defective. There is need of q change. Unfortunately, however, many of the proposed changes must be ruled from consideration because they are complicated, are not easy of compre- hension, and tend to disturb existing rights and interests. We must also rule out any plan which would materially impair the value of the United States 2 per cent bonds now pledged to secure circulation, the issue of which was made under conditios.s peculiarly cred itable to the Treasury. I do not press any especial plan. Various plans have recently been proposed by expert com iHhbbttD Ol DduhcIs. hHDuS tue DldHS which are possibly feasible and which should certainly receive your consider ation is that repeatedly brought to your attention by the present Secretary of the Treasury, the essential features of which have been approved by many prominent bankers and business men. According to this plan national banks should be permitted to issue specified of their capital in notes of a given kind, the issue to be taxed at so high a rate as to drive the notes back when not wanted in legitimate trade. This plan would not permit the issue of currency to give banks additional profits, but to meet the emergency pre- sented by times of stringency.

Accidents

The loss of life and limb from rail road accidents in this country has be- come appalling. It is a subject of which the National Government should take supervision. It might be we'll to begin by providing for a Federal inspecticu of interstate railroads somewhat along the lines of the Federal inspection of steamboats, although not going so far; perhaps at first all that it would be nee essary to have would be some officer whose duty it would be to investigate all accidents not on interstate railroads and report in detail the causes thereof. Such an officer should make it his busi- ness to get in close touch with railroad operating men so as to become thor oughly familiar with every side of the question, the idea being to work along the lines of the present steamboat in- spection law.

Pure Food Law.

Incidentally, in the passage of the pure food law the action of the various State food and dairy commissioners showed in striking fashion how much good for the whole people results from the hearty cooperation of the Federal and State officials in securing a given reform. It is primarily to the action of these State commissioners that we owe the enactment of this law; for they aroused the people, first to demand the enactment and enforcement of State laws on the subject, and then the en- actment of the Federal law, without which the state laws were largely in effective There must be the closest cooperation between the National and State governments in administering these laws.

Iniunctions.

Instances of abuse in the granting of injunctions in labor disputes continue to occur, and the resentment in the minds of those who feel that their rights are being invaded and their liber- ty of action and of speech unwarrant- ably restrained continues likewise to grow. Much of the attack on the use of the process of injunction is wholly without warrant; but I am constrained to express the belief that for some of it there is warrant. This question is becoming more and more one of prime importance, and unless the courts will themselves deal with it in effective manner, it is certain ultimately to de- mand some form of legislative action It would be most unfortunate for our social welfare if we should permit many honest and law abiding citizens to feel that they had just cause for regarding our courts with hostility. l earnestly
