,alned In the act approved June Is,
1910. The law as enacted did not o n
tain all the features which | com
mended. 1t did not specifically de-
nounce as unlawful the purchase by
one of two parallel and competing
roads Of the stock Of the other. Nor
did 1t subject to the restraining tnf1u.
ence Of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission the power of corporations en-
gagged in operating interstate railroads
to issue new stock and bonds; nor did
It authorize the making OF temporary
agreements between railroads limited
to 30 days, fixing III same rates fcr
trafic between the same places.
II do not press the consideration OF
any of these objects upon congress at
this session.
THE interstate commerce commits
sion has recommended appropriations
for the purpose of enabling 1t to enter
upon a valuation of all railroads. This
has always been within the jurisdic-
ton OF the commission, but the reQui.
site funds have been wanting. Stalls.
tics to the value Of each railroad would
be valuable for many purposes. espet
cially II we ultimately enact any linn,
itations upon the power Of the inter.
state railroads to Issue stocks and
bonds, as | hope we may.
For the protection Of our own
credit in foreign trade, I urge upon
congress the immediate enactment Of
q law under which one who. In good
faith, advances money or credit upon
a bill OF lading issued by a common
carrier upon an interstate or foreign
shipment can hold the carrier liable
Tor the value of the goods described
II the bill at the valuation specified
In the bill, at least to the extent Of the
advances made in reliance upon It.
Il further recommend that a punish.
ment of fine and Imprisonment be i'm.
posed upon railroad agents and ship.
pers for fraud or Misrepresentation In
connection with the issue of bills Of
lading issued upon interstate and for.
eign shipments.
Except as above, I do not recon.
mend any amendment to the interstate
commerce law as It stands. do not
now recommend any amendment to
the antitrust law. In other words, II
seems to me that the existing legisla.
ton with reference to the regulation
Of corporations and the restraint Of
their business has reached . point
where we a stop for a while and wit,
ness the effect Of the vigorous execu.
ton of the laws OF the statute books
in restraining the abuses which Ger
tainly did exist and which reused the
public to demand reform"

service law was never greater than to-
day. Officers responsible for the pol
icy of the administration, and their
immediate personal assistants or depu-
ties, should not be included within the
classified service, but In my 1udg-
ment, public opinion has advanced to
the point where IL would support a Dill
providing a secure tenure during eff
cheney for all purely administrative
officials. | entertain the profound con-
viction that II would greatly aid the
cause OF efficient and economical gov
eminent and Of better politics II con-
gress could enact a bill providing that
the executive shall have the power
to include in the classified service all
local Offices under the treasury depart
ment, the department Of justice. the
p~ostofice department, the interior de-
partment and the department Of COM
merce and labor, appointments to
which now require the confirmation
of the senate, and that upon such
classification the advice and consent
Of the senate shall cease TO be re-
quired in such appointments. BY
their certainty of tenure, dependent on
good service, and by their freedom
from the necessity for political activ-
ity, these local officers would be In.
duced to become more efficient public
servants.
Economy and Efficiency.
THE increase in the activities and
in the annual expenditures Of the fed
eral government has been so rapid
and SO great that the time has come
to check the expansion of government
activities in e directions until we
have tested the economy and efficiency
with which the government Of today Is
being carried on. The responsibility
rests upon the head OF the administra-
ton. He is held accountable by the
public, and properly SO. Despite the
unselish and patriotic efforts of the
heads OF departments and others
charged with responsibility of govern
ment, there has grown up in this coun
try u conviction that the expenses Of
government are too great. The fun
damentai reason for the existence I'M
detected of waste, duplication, and bad
management is the lack Of prompt, &C
curate information.
Il have requested the head Of each
department to appoint committees on
economy and efficiency In order to Sc
cure full cooperation In the movement,
by the employees Of the government
themselves.
II urge the continuance of the ap
preparation Of 100000 requested FOL
the fiscal year 1912.
my experience leads mo to believe
that while government methods an
much criticized. 'the.bad results-if ",
do have bad results-are not due to {
lack Of zeal or willingness on the par
of the civil servants"
