FULL MESSAGE
Goes Before congress-lmmediate. In
vestigation of Sugar Frauds and
Tariff Changes Opposed.

Opposition to the proposed imme-
date congressional investigation of
the sugar import scandals in the New
York customs house and likewise to
any further revision of the tariff at
present; absence of any specific rec
ommendation regarding the crisis in
Nicaragua and actual recommendation
of legislation to forbid the issuance of
Judicial injunction without notice in
labor controversies and for the estab-
lishment of a system of postal savings
banks, may be considered the most
striking features of the first annual
message of President Taft to con-
gress.
The Nicaraguan question, conserva-
ton of the nations natural resources,
needed amendments to the antitrust
and interstate commerce acts, and the
contemplated revision of the federal
statues governing the organization Of
the armed forces of the nation in
time of war are all reserved for pos
sible treatment later in special mes
sages.
In his, message, which bulls some
1900 words, Mr.. Taft reports the
country to be lin high state of pros
perity,n and he adds that there is
every reason to believe that we are
on the eve of a. substantial business
expansion and we have just garnered
a harvest unexampled in the market
value of our agricultural products
The president expressed entire con-
fdence that the duty imposed upon
the executive of enforcing the maxi
mum rates of the tariff law against
nations unduly discriminating against
the United States will not provoke
any tariff war, and he favors no fur
Their tariff tinkering at least until the
new tariff commission shall have COM
pleted its work of gathering informa-
ton as to the relative cost of produc-
ing dutiable articles in this country
and abroad. This task he expects will
occupy two or three years.
Projects recommended by the presi-
dent in addition to those mentioned
above, include:
A ship subsidy to encourage Amer
lean shipping.
Publicity of political contributions
in elections of members of congress.
Civil pensions.
A higher rate of postage on periodi-
Gals and magazines.
A fund of $4,000 to aid in sup
pressing the white slave" traffic.
