DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
JAIL.

My predecessor transmitted to the Con-
gress special message on January II,
1909 accompanying the report of Com
missioners heretofore appointed to inves-
tigate the jail, workhouse, ETC.. in the
District of Columbia, in which he direct
ed attention to the report as setting forth
wildly,
1.-The really outrageous conditions in the
workhouse and JAIL
The Congress has taken action In pur-
suance of the recommendations of that
report and of the President. to the ex-
tent of appropriating funds and enacting
the necessary legislation for the estab-
lishment of a workhouse and reforma-
tory. No action, however. has been taken
by the Congress with respect to the Jail,
the conditions of which are still anti
quated and insanitary. ! earnestly rec
ommend the passage of a sufficient ap-
preparation to enable a thorough re-
modelling of that institution to be made
without delay.
Reproach to the Capital.
1t is a reproach to the National Gov
eminent that almost under the shadow of

REFORMING THE judi
GARY.

The deplorable delays in the admins
tration of civil and criminal law have
received the attention of committees of
the American Bar Association and of
many state bar associations, as well as
the considered thought Of judges and
jurists In my judgment. change in
judicial procedure, with view to re-
ducing its expense to private litigants
in civil cases and facilitating the dis
patch of business and final decision in
both civil and criminal cases, constitutes
the greatest need in our American in
stitutions. do not doubt for one
moment that much Of the lawless vio-'
lence and cruelty exhibited in lynchings
is directly due to the uncertainties and
injustice growing out of the delays in
trials, judgments and the executions
thereof by our courts OF course these
remarks apply quite as well to the ad-
ministration of justice in state courts

PENSIONS FOR CLERKS
AND HIGHER SALARIES

Every reform directed toward
the improvement in the average ef-
ficiency of government employees
must depend on the ability of the
Executive to eliminate from the
government service those who are
inefficient from any cause, and as
the degree of efficiency in all de-
partments is much lessened by the
retention of old employees who have
outlived their energy and useful
ness, it is indispensable to any
proper system of economy that pro-
vision be made so that their sep
aratiOn from the service shall be
easy and inevitable. 1t is impossi-
BILE to make such provision unless
there is adopted plan of civil PEN
sions. I am strongly con-
WINGED that no other practical solu-
ton Of the difficulties presented by
the approximation Of civil serv-
ants can be found. We
cannot. in view Of the advancing
prices of living. hope to save money
by a reduction in the standard of
salaries paid. Indeed, IL any
change is made In that regard, an
increase rather than a decrease will
be necessary; and the only means
of economy will be In reducing the
number of employees and in OBJ
tanning a greater average OF eff
ficiency from those retained in the
service"

BONDS TO PAY COST
OF PANAMA CANAL

1.-The report of the Secretary
shows a total deficit OF
s73.O75, $40. This deficit the Secre-
tary proposes to meet by the pro-
ceeds OF bonds to pay the cost OF
constructing the Panama canal. l
approve this proposal. There seems
to be no good reason for departing
from the principle by which a part
at least of the burden Of the cost
of the canal shall fall upon our
posterity who are to enjoy 1t. :
I'm the present estimates the
needs of the departments and OF
the government have been cut to
the quick, so to speak, and any as
sumption on the part of Congress.

POWER TO IMPOSE
MAXIMUM TARIFF RATE

'FeaN has been expressed that
this power Ito impose the maxi
mum rate in the tariff law con-
ferred and duty imposed on the
executive is likely to lead to
tariff war. l beg to express the
hope and belief that no such re-
suit need be anticipated.
conceive that this power was re-
posed in the President with the
hope that the maximum duties
might never be applied in any
case. but that the power to apply
them would enable the President
I. and the State Department through
friendly negotiation to secure the
elimination from the laws and the
practice under them of any for
eign country of that which is un-
duly discriminatory.
mo one is seeking a tariff war
or a condition in which the spirit
of retaliation shall be aroused

conceive that this power was reposed In

For the purpose OF securing information
which may enable the executive and the
legislative branches to unite in a plan
for the permanent reduction Of the cost
of governmental administration, the
Treasury Department has instituted an
investigation by one of the most skilled
expert accountants In the United States

bureaus, which. il extended to the entire

THE new TARIFF BOARD.

The new tariff law enables me to ap-
point tariff board to assist me in con-

the administration of the minimum and
maximum clause of the act and also to
assist officers OF the government in the
administration of the entire law. An
examination of the law and an under
standing OF the nature Of the facts which
should be considered In discharging the
functions imposed upon the executive

glossary and encyclopedia of the terms
used and articles embraced in the tariff
law, and to secure information as to the
cost of production of such goods in this
country and the cost Of their production

three members and have directed them

me unwise to attempt it, The amount of
