ROOSEVELTS LAST MESSAGE
IS TRANSMITTED TQCONGRESS

Washington, December THE last
message of President Roosevelt was
transmitted to both houses of Con-
gress today. 1t is a lengthy docu-
ment dealing with almost eevry phase
of the government and reviewing at
length the Roosevelt regime.
S9Touching on the labor question,
Which was an issue in the recent cam
paign, the President says:
There should no longer be any
paltering with the question of taking
care of the wage-workers who, under
our present industrial system, become
killed, crippled, or worn out as part
of the regular incidents of a given
business. The majority of wage
workers must have their rights Sc
cured for them by state action; but
the national government should leg
islate in thoroughgoing and far reach
ing fashion not only for all employees
of the national government, but for
all persons engaged in interstate COM
merce. The object sought for could
be achieved to a measurable degree,
as far as those killed or crippled are
concerned, by proper employers liza
bility laws. AS far as concerns those
who have been worn out, l call your
attention to the fact that definite steps
toward providing old-age pensions
have been taken in many of our priv
ate industries. These may be indefi-
nitely extended through voluntary as
sociation and contributory schemes,
or through the agency of savings
banks. as under the recent Massa-
chusetts plan. To strengthen these
practical measures should be our i'm
mediate duty; it is not at present
necessary to consider the larger and
more general governmental schemes
that most European governments have
found themselves Obliged to adopt.
Corporate finances must be super
vised so as to make 1t far safer than
at present for the man of small means
to invest his money in stocks. There
must be prohibition of child labor,
diminution of woman labor, shorten
ing of hours of all mechanical labor;
stock watering should be prohibited,
and stock gambling so far as is pos
sible discouraged. There should be
a progressive inheritance tax on large
fortunes. Industrial education should
be encouraged. AS far as possible
we should tighten the burden of tax
alton on the small man. We should
! put premium upon thrift, hard work,
and business energy; but these quail
tiles cease to be the main factors in
accommodating a fortune long before
that fortune reaches a point where
1t would be seriously affected by any
inheritance tax such as propose. 1t
Is eminently pight that the nation
should fix the terms upon which the
great fortunes are inherited. They
rarely do good and they often do
harm to those who inherit them in
their entirety.
"The above is the merest sketch,
hardly even a sketch in outline, of
the reforms for which we should
work"
