Water Power Rates.
The water power sites subject is one
that calls for new legislation. It has
been thought that there was danger
of combination to obtain possession OF
all the power sites and to unite them
under one control. Whatever the evil
dence Of this or lack Of ii, at present
we have had enough experience to I
know that combination would be prof
liable. and the control of a great num-
Der Of power sites would enable the
holders or owners to raise the price
Of power at will within certain Sec
tions. and the temptation would
promptly attract investors. and the
danger of monopoly and extortion
would not be remote one.
However this may be, II is the plain
duty Of the government to see to it
that in the utilization and develop
ment Of all this immense amount Of
water power conditions shall be inn
posed that win prevent extortionate
charges. which are the usual aecompa-
niment of monopoly.

Notifications.
I have directed that the estimates
for appropriation for the Improvement

should be reduced to minimum,
while those for the completion Of the
needed fortifications at Corregidor in
the Philippine Islands, and at Pearl
Harbor In the Hawaiian Islands,

BILE.
Philippine Islands
During the last summer at my 10
quest the secretary Of war visited the
Philippine Islands and has described
his trip in his report. He found the
islands in a state Of tranquility and
growing prosperity. due largely to the
change I'M the tariff laws which has
opened the markets of America TO the
products of the Philippines and has
opened the Philippine markets to
American manufactures.
Panama Canal.
At the instance OF Colonel Goethals,
the army engineer officer In charge Of
the work on the Panama canal, have
just made visit to the isthmus to in
spect the work done and to consult
with him on the ground as to certain
problems which are likely TO arise In
the near future. The progress Of the
work is most satisfactory If no I'M
expected obstacle presents itself the
canal viii bescompleted well within the
time fixed by Colonel Goethals-to wit,
jan l, 1915-and within the estimate
Of cost, 1878 100000.
Among questions arising for present
solution is the decision whether the
canal shall be fortified. / have already
stated to the congress that l strongly
favor fertilization, and | now reiterate
this opinion and ask your consideration
of the subject in the light of the report
already before you made by compe-
tent board.
If in our discretion we believe mod
ern Notifications to be necessary to the
adequate protection and policing of the
canal, then it is our duty to construct
them. We have built the canal. 1t is
our property. BY convention we have
indicated our desire for and indeed un-
dertaken its universal and equal use.
It is also well known that one Of the
chief objects I'm the construction Of the
canal has been to increase the military
effectiveness of our navy.
Failure to fortify the canal would
leave the attainment OF both these
aims In the position OF rights and OBJ
legations which we should be powerless
to enforce and which could never in
any other way be absolutely safeguard
ed against a desperate and irresponsi-
bic enemy.
In determining what the tolls IN the
canal should be we certainly ought not
to insist that for a good many years
to come they should amount TO enough
to pay the interest on the investment
OF S40O.O00.00O which the United
States has made In the construction
Of the canal We ought not to do this.
first. because the benefits 70 be derived
by the United States from this ex-
penditure are not TO be measured solely
By return upon The investment
Ny own Impression is that the tolls
ought. not 70 exceed 81 per net ton. On

Conservation.


Nothing can be more important in
the natter of conservation than the
treatment of our forest lands. Speak
ing generally. the government has re-
served of the existing forests about 20
per cent of all the timberlands of the
government. Within these forests dn-
Guiding 10000. 000 acres in two forests
in Alaskan are 192.00O.000 acres. OF
which 1G6.000.000 acres are in the
United States proper and include with
In their boundaries something like %
100000 acres that belong to the states
or to private individuals. We have,
then. excluding Alaska forests, n total
of about 144.000.000 acres OF forests
belonging to the government which
are being treated in accord with the
principles of scientific forestry.
The law now prohibits the reserva-
ton Of any more forest lands in ore
gon, Washington. Idaho, Montana,
Colorado and Wyoming except by
act Of congress. I am informed by
the department OF agriculture that the
government owns other tracts OF tim
berland in these states which should
be included In the forest reserves 1
recommend to congress that the limi-
tation herein imposed be repealed In
the present forest reserves there are
lands which are not properly forest
land and which ought to be subject to
homestead entry.

Change in Federal Law.

Atlanta, Ga, April 30.-Members of
the National Guard in every town in
Georgia are concerned in the effort
now being made to secure an amend
ment. to the U. s. War Department S
ruling which holds that no state can
supplement a specific appropriation by
congress for the annual encampment
of troops.
This years general apportionment
amounts to $4,000, whereas the ex-
penses of an encampment such as the
entire National Guard, including
Administered Scott is extremely
anxious to hold, would run as high as
$4,000.
The first thing Acknowledgement

encampment was to have the War
