Following the course Of my distia.
4uished predecessor. / earnestly recom-
mend to congress the consideration
and passage OF 4 ship subsidy bill
looking to the establishment OF lines
between our Atlantic seaboard and the
eastern coast Of South America. -
well as lines from the west coast q
the United States to South AmsricA.
China. Japan and the Philippines. The
profits on foreign mails are perhaps .
which might first be tentatively ap-
piled to this method OF inducing
American capital to undertake the eo-
tablishment of American lines Of
steamships in those directions In which
we now feel II most important that We
controlled In the interest of the expaa-
sion of our trade.
The president recommends the ad.
mission Of New Mexico and Arizona

poses legislation looking to the cleo
ton Of . territorial legislature for
Alaska.
Conservation Of National Resources.
In several departments there IL present.
ed the necessity for legislation looking to
the further conservation of our national
resources, and the subject II one OF such
Importance as to require q more detailed
and extended discussion than can be en-
tered upon In this communication. For
that reason I shall take an early oppor-
etnity to send a special message to con-
gress on the subject of the improvement
OF our waterways. upon the reclamation
and irrigation Of arid. semI-arid. and
swamp lands: upon the preservation OF
our forests and the refOrestinE Of suit
able areas: upon the reclassifcation OF
the public domain with . view Of sep
AFAtinx from AGrlCuItuFAl bottlement MIN
eral, coal. and phosphate lands and sites
belonging to the government bordering on
streams suitable for the utilization sf
water power.
The White Slave Trade.
greatly regret to have to say that the
Investigations made In the bureau Of Inn
migration and other sources Of informa-
tion lead to the view that there il urgent
necessity for additional legislation and
greater executive activity to suppress the
recruiting Of the ranks of prostitutes from
the streams of immigration Into this
country-an evil which. for want Of bet
ter name. has been called 1.-THE White
Slave Trade" I believe II to be constitu-
tional to forbid under penalty. the trans
portation of persons for purposes Of pros
titution across national and state lines;
and by appropriating a fund Of $4,000 to
be used by the secretary Of commerce
and labor for the employment Of special
inspectors It will be possible to bring
those responsible for this trade to indict-
ment and conviction under . federal Law.
sussau Of Health.
For . very considerable period = move
| ment has been gathering strength esps-
| cially among the members of the medi-
| cal profession. In favor OF a concentra-
| ton Of the instruments of the national
government which have to do with the
Of things. the medical department Of the
army and the medical department Of the
| navy must be kept separate. But there
seems to be no reason why all the othse
bureaus and offices in the general gov.
ernment which have to do with the pub.
lie health or subjects akin thereto should
not be united in bureau to be called the
bureau OF public health' This would
nscessitate tho transfer Of the marins-
hospital service to such . bureau. I am
aware that there IL . wide field in re-
spect to the public health committed to
the states in which the federal govern
ment cannot exercise Jurisdiction. but We
have seen in the agricultural department
the expansion into widest usefulness o3
4 department giving attention to agricul-
ture when that subject Is plainly one
over which the states properly exercise
direct Jurisdiction. The opportunities Of
fered for useful research and the spread
Of useful Information in regard to the
cultivation Of the soil and the breeding
of stock and tho solution Of many Of the
intricate problems In progressive agrieul-
ture have demonstrated the wisdom Of
establishing that department. Similar
reasons. of equal force. can be given for
the establishment Of . bureau Of health
that shall not only exercise the police
Jurisdiction Of the federal government ro-
specting quarantine. but which shall also
afford an opportunity for investlgation
and research by competent experts Into
questions of health affecting the whole
country. or important sections thereof,
questions which. In the absence Of fed
eral governmental work. are not likely
to be promptly solved.
Political Contribution.
I urgently recommend to congress thaA
. law be passed requiring that candi-
dates In elections of members OF the
house Of representatives and committees
In charge of their candidacy and cam
paign file in . proper ONCE of the United
States government q statement Of the
contributions received and OF the expen-
ditures incurred in the campaign for such
elections and that similar legislation be
enacted in respect to all other elections
which are constitutionally within the
control Of congress.
Conclusion.
l have thus. In q message compressed
as much as the subjects will permit, re-
ferred to many of the legislative needs
OF the country. with the exceptions al
ready noted. Speaking generally. the
