Importance Of which congress has al
ready recognized by the appointment
of a commlssion), 1 recommend that

that an appropriation of $4,000 be
made to cover the necessary expenses
of organizing and carrying on the

Bureau of immigration.
The immigration into this country is
increasing each year. A large part Of
it comes through the immigrant sta
ton at Ellis island, in the city of New
York. An examination of the station
and the methods pursued satisfies me
that a difficult task is there performed
by the commissioner and his force with
common sense, the strictest fairness
and with the most earnest desire to en-
force the law equitably and mercifully.
1t has been proposed to enlarge the
accommodations so as to allow more
of the immigrants to come by that
port l do not think it wise policy TO
do this. l have no objection to-on
the contrary, l accommodating con
struction of additional buildings for
the purpose of facilitating a closer and
more careful examination of each i'm
migrant as he comes in, but depreCate
the enlargement of the buildings and
of the force for the purpose of permit
ting the examination of more immi-
grants per day than are now examined.
If 1t is understood that no more i'm
migrants can be taken in at New York
than are now taken in and the steam
ship companies thus are given rea-
son and motive for transferring i'm
migrants to other ports we can be con
fident that they VIII be better distrlh-
uted through the country and that
there will not be that congestion in the
city of New York which does not make
for the better condition of the imml-
grant or increase his usefulness as 4
new member of this community EY-
erything which tends To send the i'm
migrants west and south into rural life
helps the country.
l concur with the secretary in his
recommendations as TO the amend
ments TO the Immigration law in in
crcasing the fine against the compa-
MICS for violation of the regulations
and in giving greater power TO the
commissioner TO enforce more care on
the part of the steamship companies
in accepting immigrants. The recon-
rendation of the secretary in which
he urges that the law may be amend
ed so as TO discourage the separation
of families Is. I think. Il good one.

MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS.
Bureau of Eealth-Public Parks.
Imperial Valley Project.

In my message Of last year I recon-
meuded the creation of Il bureau Of
health in which should be embraced
al those government agencies outside
Of the var and navy departments
which are now directed toward the
preservation Of public health or eEer-
else functions Germane to that subject.
I renew this recommendation. l
greatly regret that the agitation in IA
vor Of this bureau has aroused conn
ter agitation against its creation on
the ground that the establishment Of
such bureau is to be i'll the interest
Of a particular school Of medicine. 1t
seems to me that this assumption is
wholly unwarrantcd and that those
responsible for the government can be
trusted TO secure in the personnel Of
the bureau the appointment of repre-
sentatives Of all recognized schools of
medicine and in the management of
the bureau entire freedom from mar
row prejudice in this regard.
The Imperial Valley Project.
BY an act passed by congress the
president was authorized to expend a
million dollars to construct the needed
work TO prevent injury to the lands Of
the Imperial valley from the overflow
of the Colorado river. 1 appointed
competent engineer to examine the 10
cality and to report a plan for con-
struction. He has done so. In order
to complete the work it is necessary
to secure the consent of Mexico, for
part of the work must be constructed
in Mexican territory.
Negotiations looking to the securing
of such authority are quite near sue
cess. The Southern Pacific Railroad
company proposes to assist US in the
work by lending equipment and by the
transportation Of material at cost
price, and 1t is hoped that the work
may be completed before any danger
shall arise from the spring floods in
the rive. The work is being done IN
der the supervision of the secretary OF
the interior and his consulting en-
gineer General Marshall. late chief OF
engineers, now retired.
This leads me to invite the attention
of congress to the claim made by the
Southern Pacific Railroad company for
an amount expended in a similar work
Of relief called for by food and great
formed, was undertaken at the request
of my predecessor and under promise
to reimburse the railroad company. 1t
seems to me the equity of this claim is
manifest. and the only question involv-
ed is the reasonable value of the work
done I recommend the payment of
the claim in a sum found to be just.
District of Columbia.
The government of the District of
Columbia is a good government. The
police force while perhaps 1t might be
given or acquire more military disci-
pine in bearing and appearance. is new
ertheIess an efficient body of men, free
from graft, and discharges its impor-
tant duties in this capital of the nation
effectively. The parks and streets OF
the city and the District are generally
kept clean and in excellent condition.
The commissioners Of the District

Fraudulent Bills Of Ladinq.

Forged and fraudulent bills Of lad
ing purporting to be issued against
cotton some mODths since resulted in
losses of several millions of dollars to
American and foreign banking and
cotton interests. Foreign bankers then
notified American bankers that after
Oct. 81. 1910. they would not accept
bills Of exchange drawn against bills
OF lading for cotton issued by Ameri-
can railroad companies unless Ameri.
can bankers would guarantee the in
tegrity Of the bills of ladnC
The American bankers rightly main
tanned that they were not justified i'm
giving such guarantees and that IL they
did so the United States would he the
only country in the world whose bills
were so discredited and whose for.
eign trade was carried on under such
guarantees.
The foreign bankers extended the
time at which these guarantees were
demanded until Dec. 81. 1910. relying
upon us for protection in the mean
time, as the money which they fur
nish to move our cotton crop is Of
great value to this country.
OF TIE tsTOt CtIlOH OF our own people
and the preservation OF our credit in
foreign trade ! urge upon congress the
immediate enactment Of a law under
which one who in good faith ad-
vances money or credit upon n bill Of
ladinC issued by Il common carrier
upon an interstate or foreign shipment
can hold the carrier liable for the
value of the goods described in the
bill at the valuation specified in the
bill, at least TO the extent Of the adj
vanCes made in reliance upon II.
Such liability exists under the laws
of many of the states. | see no OBJ
lection to permitting two classes Of
bills of ladinS to be issued: % Those
under which 4 carrier shall be abso-
lutely liable, as above suggested. and
O. those with respect 10 which the
carrier shall assume no liability except
for the goods actually delivered to
the agent issuing the bill. The carrier
might he permitted TO make n small
separate specific charge in addition
to the rate Of transportation for
such guaranteed bill as an iusur-
ance premium against loss from the
added risk. thus removing the princi
pal objection which l understand Is
made by the railroad companies TO the
imposition Of the liability suggested
viz. that the ordinary transportation
rate would not compensate them for
the liability assumed Ivy the absolute
guaranty of the accuracy OF the bills
of lading.
further recommend that n punish
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. do not recommend

Valuation of Railroads.

The interstate commerce commission
has recommended appropriations for
the purpose OF enabling it TO enter upon
a valuation of all railroads This has
always been within the Jurisdiction of
the commission, but the requisite funds
have been wanting. Statistics Of the
value of each railroad would be valu-
able for many purposes, especially II
we ultimately enact any limitations
upon the power Of the interstate rail
roads to issue stocks and bonds, as I
hope we may.
l think. therefore. that in order TO
permit correct understanding Of the
facts ii would be wise to make n rca-
sonable appropriation to enable the in
terstate commerce commission TO pro-
coed with due dispatch to the valua-
ton Of all railroads. ! have no doubt
that railroad companies themselves
can and will greatly facilitate this val
uatiOn and make it much less costly In
time and money than has been sup
posed.

consideration of a commission to- be

with no obligation whatever to main
tain those rates for any time.
Safety Appliances and Provisions.
The protection OF railroad employees
from personal injury is a subject of
the highest Importance and demands
two measures pending in congress. one
for the supervision of boilers and the
other for the enlargement of danger
Gus clearances. Certainly some meas
ures ought to be adopted looking to n
prevention OF accidents from these
causes.
1t seems to me that with respect to
boilers bill might well be drawn re-
quiring and enforcing by penalty a
proper system Of inspection by the
railway companies themselves which
would accomplish our purpose.

to the people on this side Of the line
