the attention of Congress TO the in
adequacy OF the postal rate imposed
| uEon second class mail matter In 40 far
as that includes magazines, and showed
by figures prepared by experts OF the
! poStofiice department that the govern
.neit 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 a
| reply was filed TO this answer by the
postoftlcc department. The utter in
| adequacy of the answer, considered In
the light Of the reply of the postoiflce
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. ] agree that the question Is
one of fact; but | insist that If the fact
Is as the experts OF the postofhce 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 In
creased. The increase in the rcceipts
of the department resulting from this
change may be devoted to Increasing
the usefulness of the department in
establishing a parcels post and in re-
ducing the cost of first class postage to
one cent. 1t has been said by the post
masttr-general that n fair adjustment
might be made under which the advcr-
Using part of the magazine should be
charged for at different and higher
ratc from that of the reading matter.
This rould relieve many useful magn-
zines that are not circulated at n profit
and would not shut them out from the
use of the malls Nv a prohibitory rate
PARCELS POST.
With respect to the parcels post l
recommend its adoption on all rural
delivery routes and that II pounds-the
international limt-be made the limit
of carriage in such post, and this with
n view to its general expansion when
the income of the postofce Will permit
it and the postal savings bank shall
have been fully established. The same
argument Is made against the parcels
post that was made against the postal
savings bnnks-that 1t Is introducing the
government into Il business which ought
TO be conducted by private persons. and
is paternalism The postoffice depart
ment has a great plant and Il great
organization, reaching into the most
remote hamlet of the United States and
with this machinery it is able to do Il
great many things economically that
IL 4 new organization were necessary II
would be impossible to do without eX-
travagant expenditure. That is the
reason why the postal savings bank
can be carried on at a small additional
cost, and why 1t is possible to incorpor-
ate at u very inconslderable expense
n parcels post in the rural delivery sys-
tenn. A general parcels post Will in
volve Il much greater outlay.

NAVY DEPARTMENT..

In the last annual report of the sec
rotary 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 aides to
the secretary in respect to naval OPP
erations, personnel. inspection and ma
teiial. This change was substantial
compliance with the recommendation
of the commission on naval reorganiza-
ton, headed by Mr.. Justice Moody and
submitted to President Roosevelt on
Feb. 20. 1909. Through the advice Of
this committee of line officers, the sec
rotary Is able to bring about proper
coordination of all the branches of the
naval department with greater mill
tury efficiency. The secretary of the
navy recommends that this new organ
ization be realized by legislation and
thus be made permanent. l concur In
the recommendation.
MAJOR GENERAL COMMANDING. 4
The secretary, in view Of the conclu-
sions of n recent court OF inquiry on
certain phases of marine corps adminis-
tration, recommends that the ma or-
general commandnnt Of the marine
corps be appointed for, a four-yeur term,
and that officers of the adjutant and in
spector's department be detailed from
the line. He also asks for Legislation
to improve the conditions now existing
in the personnel of officers of the navy.
particularly with regard to the age and
experience of flag officers and captains,
and points out that it is essential to the
highest efficiency of, the navy that the
ago OF our officers be reduced and that
flag officers. particularly, should gain
proper experience as flag officers. IN
order to enable them to properly conf
mand fleets. concur In tho sccrc-

THE FRAMING PRIVILEGE.

The unrestricted manner In which the
franking privilege Is now being used by
the several federal services anC by Con-
gress has laid 1t open to serious abuses,
q fact clearly established through in
vestigations recently instituted BY the
department. While 1t has been iinpos-
sibe without n better control of frank
Ing to determine the exact expense to
the government of this practise, there
can BIO no doubt that 1t annually
'relches into the millions. As the first
step in the direction of reform, special
stamps and stamped envelopes have
been provided for use instead OF franks
in the free transmission OF the official
mail resulting from the business OF the
new postal savings system. BY properly
recording the Issuance OF such stamps
and envelopes accurate records can be
kept of the cost to the government or
handling the postal savings mail, which
Is certain to become an important item
of expense and one that should he ex-
actly determined. In keeping with this
plan It is hoped that Congress viii nu-

NAVAL SUPPLY FUND.


I commend to Your attention elle 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 present
conditions existing In regard to that
matter Under previous practise, and
what now seems to have been an erron-
eous construction Of the law, the sup
ply fund of the navy was increased
from s2,T00.000 to something over sl4.-
600, coo, and a system of accounting was
introduced which prevented the strik-
Ing OF a proper balance and n knowl-
edge of the exact cost of maintaining
the naval establishment. The system
has now been abandoned, and naval
supply account established by law July
l. 1910. Tho naval supply fund of
$4,000 900 Is now on deposit in the treas
ury to the credit of the department.
The secretary recommends that the
naval supply account be made per-
manent by law. and that the $2,700.000
OF the naval supply fund be covered
into the treasury as unnecessary, and /
ask for legislative authority to do this.
This sum when covered Into treasury
will be really II reduction In recorded
naval cost for this year. The estimates
OF the navy department. are s5,ooo,oo
less than the appropriations for the
same purpose, last year. and Included
In this Is the building program OF the
same amount as that submitted for
your consideration last year 1t is
merely carrying out the plan OF build-
ing two battlcships a year. with few
needed auxiliary vessels. earnestly
hope TINT this program VIII be adopted.
ABOLITION OF NAVY YARDS.
Tho secretary OF the navy has given
personal examination to every navy
yard and has studied the uses of the
nuvy-yard with reference to the noces-
sites of our fleet. With u fleet con-
siderably less than half the size of that
OF the British navy, we have ship
yards more than double the, number
and there are several OF these ship
yards. extensively equipped with mod
ern machinery, which after investiga
ton the secretary OF the navy believes
to be entirely useless for naval pur-
poses, He asks authority to abandon
certain Of thcm and to move their
machinery to other places whore 1t can
be made Of use,
The secretary points out that the
most important naval base in the West
indies Is Guantanamo, In the south
western part of Cuba. Its geographical
situation Is admirable and Is we'll

paths to the Panama canal, and no

REASON FOR GOVERNMENT

Another important reason why those

taken by tho government is tho oppor-
tunity for discrimination between pa

would create greater prejudice against
