Political Contribution.

I urgently recommend to congress that
a 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 a proper Office of the United
States government 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.


I have thus, in 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
country is in a high state of prosperity.
There is every reason to believe that we
are on the eve of substantial business
expansion and we have just garnered
harvest unexampled in the market value
of our agricultural products The high
prices which such products bring mean
great prosperity for the farming com
munity, but on the other hand they
mean a very considerably increased bur-
den upon those classes in the comnu-
nifty whose yearly compensation does not
expand with the improvement in bust
ness and the general prosperity Various
reasons are given for the high prices
The proportionate increase in the output
of gold, which to-day is the chief medi-
UNI of exchange and is in some respects
a measure Of value, furnishes a substan-
tiaI explanation of at least part of the
increase in prices. The increase in pop
ulation and the more expensive mode of
living of the people, which have not been
accompanied by proportionate increase
in acreage production, may furnish fur
Their reason. 1t is well to note that the
increase in the cost of living is not con-
fined to this country, but prevails the
world over and that those who would
charge increases in prices to the existing
protective tariff must meet the fact that
the rise in prices has taken place almost
wholly in those products of the factory
and farm in respect to which there has
many instances very considerable re-
ducton.

Bureau of Health.

For q very considerable period q move
ment has been gathering strength, espe-
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
promotion of public health. In the nature
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 other
bureaus and offices in the general gov
eminent 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
necessitate the transfer of the marine-
hospital service to such a bureau | am
aware that there is a 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 of
a 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 the solution of many of the
intricate problems in progressive agricul-
ture have demonstrated the wisdom Of
establishing that department. Similar
reasons, of equal force, can be given for
the establishment of a bureau of health
that shall not only exercise the police
Jurisdiction of the federal government re-
speeding quarantine, but which shall also
afford an opportunity for investigation
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.

preme court, but IN the pressure or pusI-
ness to which that court is subjected it
is impossible to hope that d radical and
proper reform of the federal equity pro-
cedure can be brought about. therefore
recommend legislation providing for the
appointment by the president of COM
mission with authority to examine the
law and equity procedure of the federal
courts of first instance, the law of ap-
peals from those courts to the courts of
appeals and to the supreme court, and the
costs imposed in such procedure upon the
private litigants and upon the public treas
ury and make recommendations with a
view to simplifying and expediting the
procedure as far as possible and making
it as inexpensive as may be to the liti-

New Laws Needed.

The Jurisdiction of the general gov
eminent over interstate commerce has
led to the passage of the so-called
sherman antitrust law" and the Gin
terstate commerce law" and it's amend
ments. The developments in the oper-
alton of those laws as shown by in
dictments, trials, judicial decisions,
and other sources of information, call
for discussion and some suggestions
as to amendments. These 1 prefer to
embody in a special message instead
of including them in the present COM
munication, and 1 shall avail myself
of the first convenient opportunity to
bring these subjects to the attention of
congress.

Two features of the new tariff act call
for special reference. By virtue of the
clause known as the maximum and min
imum' clause, it is the duty of the exec
utive to consider the laws and practices
of other countries with reference to the
importation into those countries of the
products and merchandise of the United
States, and if the executive finds such
laws and practices not to be unduly dis
criminatory against the United States, the
minimum duties provided in the bill are
to go into force. Unless the president
makes such a finding, then the maximum
duties provided in the bill, that is, an in
crease of % per cent. ad valorem over the
minimum duties, are to be in force. Fear
has been expressed that this power con-
ferred and duty imposed on the eXecu-
tive is likely to lead to tariff war. l
beg to express the hope and belief that
no such result need be anticipated.
The discretion granted to the executive
by the terms ''unduly discriminatory" is
wide In order that the maximum duty
shall be charged against the imports from
a country, it is necessary that he shall
find on the part of that country not only
determinations in its laws or the prac-
tice under them against the trade of the
United States, but that the discrimina-
tons found shall be undue; that is, with
out good and fair reason. conceive
