May Discuss Tax Questions.


Whether the President will take up
| income and inheritance taxes and the
making of valuation of the railroads
is not yet decided, it is understood. The
expectation is, however. that he will
discuss at least the advisability of in
come and inheritance taxes. It is the
Presidents firm belief that such leg
islation is needed in this country for
the regulation of swollen fortunes"
and he is anxious that his recommended
ton of it in former utterances shall
not be forgotten
1t is expected in view Of the Presi-
dents vigorous advocacy of the District
of Columbia child labor bill last ses-
sion, that in the coming message he
will be especially earnest in asking that
whatever can be done in the way Of
national child labor statutes be done
without delay.
One section of the message to which
the President has devoted himself with
especial satisfaction is the discussion
Of the battleshlp fleets trip around the
world
But the President is strongly inclined
to some changes in the bureau system,
probably aimed to bring the depart
ment organization nearer to that which
prevails in the British navy.

Former Demands.

washington correspondence:
The President already has completed
the outline of his message to Congress.
Much of the material for it has been
gathered together and many features
have been roughly drafted. The task
of working it over into final shape and
IN determining just what shall and
ument is still TO be taken up.
1t can be. stated that the President
will send what will be recognized as a
characteristic message. He will re-
iterate the demand for those things
which Congress has not yet got around
to giving on the strength of former
demands, and will possibly come out
for some features of congressional leg
islation heretofore unpresented.
Acting upon his usual theory that
Congress is elected to work pretty
steadily during its sessions at its job
Of making laws for the people. Mr..
Roosevelt will set the solons a heavy
task, and if they have not finished it
by the time he leaves Office he will
regard it as no fault Of his own.
The tariff win be left out of consid-
Grafton. The revision of schedules al
ready has been arranged for, and to
Mr.. Taft, the new President, when he
calls special session in March, will
be left the duty of passing along the
executive view on the stunt.
Measures to BE Pressed.
With the tariff taken care of, Presi-
dent Roos welt will then go on to pre-
sent the slaims of the various reform
measures he has been pressing in the
past. The list will include
Practical and effective amendment to
the Sherman antitrust act with the view
of establishing some such a government
supervision OF great industrial corpora
tons as the interstate commerce commits
sion maintains over railroads.
Some considerable extension of the pow
ers of the interstate commission in the
matter of controlling rates, especially the
power to prevent rate or schedule of
rates from taking effect until after the
commission shall have had an opportunity
to examine and determine its prima facie
reasonableness.
Liberal appropriation for the continued
enforcement of the uniform railroad ac-
counting provisions of the Hepburn act
Passage of a more complete government
employees liability act
Increase of naval establishment by the
construction of two new battleships at
least, and probably a renewal of the re-
quest for four.
Provision for the establishment of for
est reserves in the Appalachian region.
Inauguration of an effective federal con-
troll over the water powers of the country,
with a view to preventing their monopoli-
cation by private interests. and to assur-
ing that power shall be sold at reasonable
rates.
Internal waterways Improvement and
development.
