CONCLUSION.

have thus. in a message compressed as
much as the subjects viii PERMIT, referred
to many OF the legislative needs OF the
country. with the exceptions already noted.
Speaking generally. the country Is in =
high state OF prosperity. There Is every
reason 70 believe that we are on the eve
OF a substantial business expansion, and
we have just sarnered harvest unexam-
pied in the market value OF cur agricult-
ural products The high prices which such
products bring mean great prosperity for
the farming community. but. on the other
hand, they mean a very considerably in
creased burden upon those classes IN tha
community whose yearly compensation does
not expand with the Improvement In busi-
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 medium OF
exchange and is in soma respects a meas
ure OF value furnishes a substantial ex-
planation OF az least part OF the increas Sc
i1Dricss- The increase in population and
the more expensive mode OF living OF the
people. which have not been accompanied
by a proportionate Increase in acreage pro-
duction, may furnish a further reason IT
is well 20 note that the increase In the cost
OF living Is not confined 20 this country. but
prevails the world over, and that those
who would charge increases In prices 10
the existing protective tariff must meet the
fact that the rise h prices has taken place
almost wholly in those products Of the
factory and farm In respect TO which there
has been either no increase IN the tartn or

The Lighthouse Board.

The Lighthouse Board now discharges its
duties under the Department OF Commerce
and Labor For upward OF fcrty years
this board has been constituted CT military
and naval officers and two or three nasr OF
science, with such an absence OF a duly
constituted executive head that il is mar
vellOus what work has been accomplished.
Ir the period OF construction the energy and
enthusiasm of all the members prevented
the inherent defects OF the system from in
Ierferins greatly with the beneficial vcrk
o. the board. but now that the work IS
chiefly confined 10 maintenance and repair.
for which purpose the country Is divided
into sixteen districts. 10 which are assigned
an engineer officer Of the army and an in
spector of the navy. each with q lighthouse
tender and the needed plant for his work.
II has become apparent by the frequent fric-
tion that arises. due TO the absence Of any
central independent authority. that there
must be a complete reorganization OF the
board I concede the advantage OF keeping
in the system the rigidity OF discipline that
the presence Of naval and military officers
in charge insures. but unless the presence
OF such officers in the board can be made
consistent with responsible executive head
that shall have proper authority. recon-
mend the transfer OF control over the light
houses TO a suitable civilian bureau This
is in accordance with the Judgment OF COM
petent persons who are familiar with the
workings OF the present system am con-
fdent that a reorganization can be effected
which shall avoid the recurrence OF friction
between members. instances OF which have
been officially brought TO my attention, and
that by such reorganization greater eff

from the issuance thereof or within any
time less than that period which the court
may TX. unless within such seven days or
such less period the injunction or order is

Ny judgment is that the passage OF such

tice in equity and is very Ike the rule now

With respect 70 the Territory Of Alaska

vide for the appointment b. the President Of

ell, the mem bers OF which shall during their
terms OF ofice reside IN the territory. and
which shall have legislative powers sum

strongly. deprecate legislation looking TO the
election Of 2 territorial legislature IN that
vast district The lack Of pernlanence OF
residence Of a large part Of the present
pouulation and the small number OF the
people Who either permanently or tempo
rarily reside IN the district as compared
with It's vast expanse and the variety OF the
interests that have tc-be subserved, make il
altogether uniting in my judgment 70 pro
vide for a popular election OF a legislative
bodv. The present system is not adequate
and does not furnish the character Of local
control that ought TO be there. The only
compromiss II seems 10 me which may
give needed local legislation and secure q

pose.

though The proposition hnds opponents IN
many parts OF the country I am convinced
that the people desire such banks. and am
sure that when the banks are furnished

The postal savings hanks are not consti-
tuIeo Tor the purpose OF creating conpeti-
uon with other banks. The rate of interest
upon deposits 20 which they would be I'm
lted would be SO small as 20 prevent their

TIE question OF how the money deposited

that satisfactory provision for this pur-
pose was Inserted as an amendment 70 the
bill considered by the Senate at its last
session. Il has been proposed to delay the
