InIunctions Without Notice.

the last election contained the following:
THE Republican party will uphold at
all times the authority and integrity OF
the courts. state and federal, and VIII
ever Insist that their powers TO enforce
their process and protect life. liberty
and property shall be preserved inviolate.
We believe. however, that the rules OF
procedure In the federal courts with re-
spect TO the issuance OF the writ or IN
junction should be more accurately de-
fined by statute and that no injunction
or temporary restraining order should be
Issued without notice, except where tr-
reparabie injury would result from delay,
In which case a speedy hearing there
after should be granted"
| recommend that I'm compliance with
the promise thus made appropriate legis-
lation be adopted. The ends OF juatice
will best be met and the chief cause OF
complaint against ill-considered injunc-
lions without notice will be removed by
tho enactment of statute forbidding
hereafter the issuing OF any Injunction
or restraining order, whether temporary
or permanent, by any federal court,
without previous notice and a reasonable
opportunity to be heard on behalf OF the
parties TO be euJoined; unless IL shall APP
pear to the satisfaction of the court that
the delay necessary TO give such notice
and hearing would result In irreparoble
injury 20 the complainant and unless also
the court shall from the evidence make
a written finding. which shall be spread
upon the court minutes, that Immediate
and irreparable injury Is likely TO ensue
TO the complainant and shall define the
injury, state why II Is irreparable and
shall also indorse on the order issued tho
date and the hour OF the Issuance OF the
order. Moreover, every such Injunction
or restraining order issued without pre-
vious notice and opportunity by the de-
PENDANT TO be heard should by force of
the statute TO expire and be OF no effect
after seven days from the Issuance there
of or within any time less than that PEE
riod which the court may fix, unless
within the Injunction or order Is ex-
tended or renewed after previous notice
and opportunity to be heard.
second-class Mail Matter.
Tho deficit every year In the post
office department Is largely caused by the
| low rnte OF postage OF one cent "a pound
| charged on second-class mail matter,
| which includes not only newspapers but
magazines and miscellaneous periodicals.
| The actual loss growing out of the trans
mission of this second-class mail matter
| at one cent a pound amounts to about
| S63 600, 900 n year. The average cost OF the
| transportation of this matter is more than
| nine cents pound.
| IL appears that the average distance ov-
err which newspapers are delivered to
| their customers is POI miles. while tho
| average haul of magazines Is 10t9. and
| of miscellaneous periodicals LIS miles.
/ Thus, the average haul OF the magazine
| In three and one-half times and that OF
| the miscellaneous periodical nearly four
| times the haul of the daily newspaper. yet
| all OF them pay the same postage rate of
| one cent pound. Tho statistics OF 1907
show that second class mail matter con-
| stltuted G3,91 per cent. OF the weight OF
all the mail. and yielded only $40 per cent.
| OF the revenue.
The figures given are startling. and
show the payment by the government OF
an enormous subsidy TO the newspaper.

may wen consider whether radical stepc,
should not be taken tor,ss..luce ~fhe deficit
In the postofiice department caused by
this discrepancy between the actual cost
OF transportation and the compensation
| exacted therefor.
A great saving might be made amount
ing to much more than half of the loss
by imposing upon magazines and peri
odicals higher rate OF postage. They
are much heavier than newspapers and
contain much higher proportion OF adj
vertising to reading matter. and the aver
age distance OF their transportation is
three and half times as great.

Following the course OF my distin-

Conserving National Resources.
In several departments there is present.

the further conservation OF our national
