The NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Wants Naval Station at Guantana-
mo-Honors For Peary.

In the last annual report of the sec
retary of the navy and in my annual
message attention was called to the
new detail of officers in the navy de-
partment by which officers Of flag rank
were assigned to duty as aids to the
secretary in respect to naval opera
tins. personnel. inspection and mate
rial This change was substantial
compliance with the recommendation
of the commission on naval reorgan-
ization. headed by Mr.. Justice Moody,
and submitted to President Roosevelt
on Feb 26 1909
Through the advice of this commit
tee of line officers the secretary is able
to bring about a proper coordination
of all the branches of the naval de-
partment with greater military et1-
cheney. The secretary of the navy rec
ommends that this new organization
be recognized by legislation and thus
made permanent. 1 concur in the rec
ommendation.
The secretary, in view of the conclu-
sions of a recent court of inquiry on
certain phases of marine corps admin
istration, recommends that the major
general commandant of the marine
corps be appointed for a four year
term and that officers of the adjutant
and inspectors department be detailed
from the line.
He also asks for legislation to i'm
prove the conditions now existing in
the personnel of officers Of the navy.
particularly with regard TO the age
and experience of flag officers and cap
tains, and points out that 1t is essen
tial to the highest efficiency of the
navy that the age of our officers be re-
duced and that flag officers particular
~ should gain proper experience as
flag officers in order to enable them to
properly command fleets. l concur in
the secretary's recommendations.
Covering of Naval Supply Fund Into
Treasury.
/ commend to your attention the re-
port of the secretary on the change
in the system of cost accounting in
navy yards and also to the history of
the naval supply fund and the pres
ent conditions existing in regard to
that matter. Under previous practice
and what now seems to have been an
erroneous construction of the law the
supply fund of the navy was increased
from 50. 700, 900 TO something over $14.-
100000 and a system of accounting
was introduced which prevented the
striking of a proper balance and a
knowledge of the exact cost of main
tanning the naval establishment.
The system has now been abandoned
and naval supply account establish
ed by law July 1, 1910. The naval
supply fund of 100000 is now on de-
posit in the treasury to the credit of
the department. The secretary recon-
mends that tha naval supply accoup'

like basis.
Second Class Mail Matter.
In my last annual message l invited
the attention of congress to the mad
equacy of the postal rate imposed upon
second class mail matter in so rar as
that includes magazines and showed by
figures prepared by experts OF the
postotf1ce department that the govern
ment was rendering a service to the
magazines costing many millions IN
excess of the compensation paid.
An answer was attempted to this by
the representatives of the magazines.
and reply was filed to this answer
by the postoffice department. The ut
ter inadequacy of the answer, consid-
cred in the light Of the reply of the
postoffice department, l think must
appeal to any fair minded person.
Whether the answer was all that could
be said in behalf of the magazines is
another question.
l agree that the question is one Of
fact, but l insist that If the fact is
as the experts of the postofice depart
ment show, that we are furnishing to
the owners of magazines service
worth millions more than they pay for
it. then justice requires that the rate
should be increased The increase in
the receipts of the department result
ing from this change may be devoted
to increasing the usefulness of the de-
partment in establishing parcels post
and in reducing the cost of first class
postage to l cent
1t has been said by the postmaster
general that a fair adjustment might
be made under which the advertising
part of the magazine should be charged
for at a different and higher rate from
that of the reading matter. This would
relieve many useful magazines that are
not circulated at a profit and would
not shut them out from the use of the
mails by a prohibitory rate.
Parcels Post.
! With respect to the parcels post I
respectfully recommend its adoption
! on all rural delivery routes and that
/ eleven pounds. the international limit.
be made the limit of carriage in such
post. The same argument is made
/ against the parcels post that was made
/ against the postal savings bank-that
/ it is introducing the government into
a business which ought TO be conduct
/ ed by private persons and is paternal-
/ ism.
The postofice department has great
/ plant and great organization. reach
/ ing into the most remote hamlet of the
/ United States. and with this machinery
! it is able to do Il great many things
+ economically that if a new Organiza-
tion were necessary it would be i'm
J possible TO do without eXtravaGant eX-
penditure That is the reason why the
postal savings bank can be carried on
/ at a small additional cost and why II
! is possible to incorporate at very
/ inconsiderable expense a parcels post
in the rural delivery system.
Rock Island Argus., 1910-12-06
POSTOFFICE Department.
Postal Savings Banks-Question Of
Defcit-Franking Abuses.

At its last session congress made pro-
vision for the esta ablishment of savings
banks by the postofice department of
this government, by which, under the
general control Of trustees consisting
of the postmaster general, the secre-
tary of the treasury and the attorney
general, the system could be begun In
a few cities and towns and enlarged to
cover within its operations as many
cities and towns and as large part of
the country as seemed wise.
The initiation and establishment OF
such a system have required a great
deal of study on the part of the experts
in the postoffice and treasury depart
ments, but a system has now been de-
vised which is believed to be more
economical and simpler in its operation
than any similar system abroad. Ar
rangements have been perfected so
that savings banks will be opened in
some cities and towns on the 1st of
January, and there will be a gradual
extension of the benefits of the plan
to the rest of the country.
Wipins Out of Postal Deficit.
As have said, the postoffice depart
ment is a great business department,
and l am glad to note the fact that
under its present management prin-
ciples Of business economy and ef1.
eiency are being applied. For many
years there has been a deficit in the

DEPARTMENT OF The INTERIOR
Appeals to Court In Land Gases.
Conservation and Reclamation.

The secretary of the interior recon-
mends a change Of the law in respect
to the procedure in adjudicating claims
for lands by which appeals can be
taken from the decisions of the depart
ment to the court of appeals of the
District of Columbia for a judicial con-
sideration Of the rights of the claim
ant. This change finds complete anal
ogy in the present provision for ap-
peals from the decisions of the COM
missioner of patents. The judgments
of the court in such cases would be OF
decisive value to land claimants gen
orally and to the department Of the in
terror in the administration of the law,
would enable claimants to bring into
court the final consideration of issues
as to the title to government land and
would. L think, obviate Il good deal Of
the subsequent litigation that now
arises in our western courts.
The bill is pending, / believe, in the
house, having been favorably reported
from the committee on public lands,
and / recommend its enactment.
One of the difficulties in the interior
department and in the land office has
been the delays attendant upon the
consideration by the land office and the
secretary of the interior of claims for
patents of public lands to individuals.
/ am glad to say that under the recent
appropriations of the congress and the
earnest efforts of the secretary and his
subOrdinates these arrears have been
disposed of ard the work of the de-
partment has been brought more near

Coal Lands.

The next subject, and ore most i'm
portant for your consideration. is the
disposition Of the coal lands in the
United States and in Alaska First as
to those in the United States. Al the
beginning OF this administration there
were classified coal lands amounting
to 5.4T6.OOO acres. and there were with
drawn from entry for purposes of clas-
sification 1867 900 acres. Since that
time there have been withdrawn by
my order from entry for classification
7S97T.T45 acres. making total with
krawal of 9G.S44.T45 acres.
Meantime of the acres thus with
drawn 1O.O61 $50 have been classified
and found not to contain coal and have
been restored to agricultural entry and
4,T26.O91 acres have been classified as
coal lands. while 19.903.239 acres re
main withdrawn from entry and await:
classification. In addition 33T 900 acres
have been classified as coal lands with
