TAFTS
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

Washington, Dec. THE first al
nual message of President Taft was
read before both houses of Congress
today. The reading was followed with
great interest by both the Republi
cans and Democrats.
The message was generally favora.
bly, commented upon. The phrase
which attracted most attention was
that referring to the Zelaya incident
of which he spoke las it mad tales OF
unspeakabLe barbarities."
When the reading was concluded
the house adjourned until Friday.
The Presidents Message.
The successful party in the last
election in it's national platform de.
cIared in favor of the admission as
Arizona. and recommend that leg.
isIatior appropriate to this end be
adopted. 4 urge, however, that care
be exercised in the preparation of the
legislation affecting each Territory
to secure deIiberation in the selec-
ton of persons as members of the
convention to draft a constitution for
the Incoming State, and earnestly
advise that such constitution after
adoption by the convention shall be
submitted to the people of the Terri
tory tor tneir approval al an eIcC-
tion in which the sole issue shall be
the merits of the proposed constitu-
ton, and if the constitution is defeat
ed by popular vote means shall be
provided in the enabling act for a
new convention and the drafting of
new constitution. 4 think it vital
that the issue as to the merits of
tire constitution should not be mixed
up with the selection of State Off
GERS and that no election of State Of
ficers should be had until after the
constitution has been fully approved
and finally settled upon.
Washington, Dec. T. President
Taft today sent his annual message
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1909-12-07

of laborers to the United States mas
proved to work satisfactorily"
Reorganization of the department
of state upon modern times in fur
theraIce of our foreign trade and of
American interests abroad Is recon-
mended.
Perhaps" continues the message,
the most important question present
ed TO this administration is that of
economy in expenditures and suffic-
iency OF revenue.
THE report of the secretary shows
that the ordinary expenditures for the
current fiscal year ending June 80,
1910, will exceed the receipts by $34.-
07O,62O = to this deficit is added
the sum to be disbursed for the Pana-
ma Canal amounting to $4,000, 900
and 100000 TO be paid on the pub
lie debt, the deficit of ordinary re-
ceipts and expenditures will be in
creased to a total deficit of S73,075,-
$40. This deficit the secretary pro-
poses TO meet by the proceeds of
bonds issued to pay the cost of con-
structfng the Panama Canal. I ap-
prove this proposal"
The president says the cost of en-
gineering and construction of the ca
nal which will be completed January
l, 1915. will be 1921, $4,000 instead
of $139, 705. 200 as originally estimated.
Other expenses increase the cost by
SO. 1885, 900, to a total of 1915, 5,201 900.
The president is advised by the sec
rstary of the treasury that the esti-
mates of the expenses of the govern
;nent for the fiscal year ending June,
80, 1911-that is, for the next fiscal
year are less by 55,S63 900 than the
total oil appropriations for the current
fiscal year and adds:
80 far as the secretary of the trea-
sury is able to form a judgement as
to the future income and compare II
with ths expenditures for the next fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1911, inclui-

new RATE ON
INSURANCE

Roswell Is to have a new rating for
Insurance purposes at The hands OF
Che Pocky Mountain Fire Underwrit-
ers' Association, l.. p. Terhune. in
spectGr for that organization. having
arrived last night for the purpose of
giving Roswell a thorough inspection
and making report on the conditions
of the city as regards the risk the
companies must take in issuing the
people of Roswell fire insurance.
Mr.. Terhune's headquarters are now
at Denver, the home of the Rocky
Mountain Underwriters. hut he ar
rived last 1lght from Albuquerque,
where he has lately opened up a New
Mexico office. He will spend about
ten days in inspecting Roswell and
making up his reports. When seen
by a Record reporter this afternoon.
he said:
"Of course l can say nothing yet
as 10 what kind of a new rate Ros-
well will get. The town has not had
rating in three or four years. We
give town new rating at intervals
of several years, and oftaner in cases
where big improvements are put in
that cut down the risk of damage by
fire. In RoSwelfS case, | understand
n big Improvement has been made in
he shape of a new water-works sys-
TEN and increase in the efficiency OF
the fire department. But these things
are no. alone what are considered in
giving a town a rating. Every build
ing must be inspected and reported
on. Everything adds or detracts. l ex-
pect there will be fifteen hundred re-
ports on the town of Roswell, alone
"You people-meaning the Record
should encourage the people 10 do
| those things that will help in cutting
down the rate. BY abolishing Hasn
heaps at the rear of buildingsI re-

and such the rate will be greatly ben

ing the payments on account of the
Panama Canal and the public debt,
there will be no deficit in the year end
ing June 80, 1911, but small surplus
of s7lS,000.
I'm the present estimates the needs
of the departments and of the govern
-nent have been cut to the quick so TO
speak and my assumption by con-
gress, so often made in times past
that estimates have been prepared
with the expectation that they may
he reduced, will result in seriously
hampering proper administration"
Mr.. Taft refers with regret to the
sugar frauds recently-disco~ered say
ing mat the settlement mare witA the
so called Trust will not interfere
with OF prevent, the criminal prosecu-
ton OF every one who was found to
be subject to the same. He believes
that an Investigation of the frauds
by congress at present would be mad
visable saying it might give inmuni-
ty and otherwise prove an embar-
rassnent in securing conviction OF
the guilty parties.
President Taft then discusses the
tariff and the operation of the maxi
mum and minimum clause in the act
He says that in the working of this
fear has been expressed that the pow
er conferred and duty imposed on the
executive is likely to lead to tariff
war. Il beg to express the hope and
belief that no such result need be an
iicipated." Mr.. Taft says. mo one is
seeking a tariff war or condition in
which the spirit Of retaliation shall
be aroused"
The new tariff board is discussed
the president saying that tleir WORK
will perhaps take two or three years
A continuing annual appropriation Is
asked.

20 congress. The tariff, the Nicara-
guam question, sugar frauds and
white slavery" are among the ques-
tions discussed.
Perhaps the most important ques-
tion pra sented to this administration
Is that of economy in expenditure and
sufficiency of revenue" says the pres
ident, who discusses the methods TAX
en- 10 meet the deficit. The president
declares it unwise to attempt further
revision of the tariff until the facts
are at hand upon which such revision
can properly be undertaken.
Speaking generally, he says the
country is in a high state of prosper
| ity. He notes the increase in the
cost of living but says the tariff Is
not the cause. In those products of
tae factory and farm there has been
no increase in the tariff and in many
| ins; ances a very considerable reduc-
/ ton. the president declares.
| In beginning the president says:
The relations of the United States
with all foreign governments contin-
ued the normal basis of a-nity and
good understanding and are very gen
| orally satisfactory"
