Philippine Islands.


During the last summer at my re-
quest the secretary Of war visited the
Philippine Islands and has described
his trip in his report. He found the
islands in state OF tranquility and
growing prosperity, due largely to the
change in 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.

Ing that statute.
judicial Procedure.
One great crying need in the United
States is cheapening the cost Of litiga-
ton by simplifying judicial procedure
and expediting final Judgment. Under
present conditions the poor man Is at
a woeful disadvantage in legal con-
test with corporation or a rich op-
ponent The necessity for the reform
exists both in United States courts
and in all state courts. In order to
bring 1t about, however, it naturally
falls to the general government by its
example to furnish model to all
states. A legislative compassion ap-
pointed by joint resolution Of congress
to revise the procedure in the United
States courts has as yet made no re-
port
I am strongly convinced that the
best method of improving judicial pro-
cedure at law is to empower the su-
preme court to do it through the me-
dunn of the rules Of the court, rs in
equity. This is the way in which it
has been done in England.
Relief of Supreme Court From Un-
necessary Appeals.
No man ought to have as q matter Of
right review Of his case By the su-
preme court He should be satisfied
by one hearing before a court Of first
instance and one review by court Of
appeals The proper and chief useful
ness Of the supreme court, and espe-
cially the supreme court Of the United
States. is in the cases which come be-
fore it so to expound the law and espe-
cially the fundamental law-the con-
stitution-as to furnish presidents for
the inferior courts in future litigation
and for the executive officers in the
construction OF statutes and the per.
Torrance OF their legal duties. There
fore any provisions FOR review Of cases
by the supreme court that cast upon
that court the duty OF passing on ques-
tons Of evidence and the construction
Of particular forms of instruments. like
indictments or Wills or contracts. de-
cisions not Of general application or

Coal Lands.

The next subject, and one most Inn.
portant for your consideration, is the
disposition Of the coal lands In the
United States and In Alaska. At the
beginning Of this administration there
were classified coal lands in the Unit.
ed States amounting to 5,476.OOO acres,
and there we're Withdrawn from entry
for purposes Of classification Il ,S6I 900
acres. Since that time there have been
withdrawn by my order from entry
for Classification 7s,917,745 acres, max
Ing q total withdrawal OF 9G,SA,I43
acres. Meantime Of the acres thus
withdrawn 10,0G1, $3.50 have been classi-
fed and found not to contain coal and
have been restored to agricultural en-
Try and 4,72G,O91 acres have been clas-
sifed as coal lands, while 79,9O3,239
acres remain withdrawn from entry
and await classification. In addition
337, 900 acres have been classified as
coal lands without prior withdra wal,
thus increasing the classified coal lands
to 10,429,372 acres.
The question as to how great an
area ought to be included In lease to
one Individual or corporation Is not
free from difficulty, but In view of the
fact that the government retains con-
troll as owner think there might be
some uberality In the amount leased
and that $500 acres would not be too
great maximum. The leases should
only be granted after advertisement
and public competition.
The secretary Of the interior thinks
there are difficulties In the way Of
leasing public coal lands. entirely
approved his stating at length In bis
report the objections in order that the
whole subject may be presented to
congress, but after full consideration

The Payne Tariff Act.

some of it just. more Of il unfound",i.

act was adopted in pursuance Of Il
declaration by the party which IS r.

ticlc abroad aud the cost Of producing

a reasonable profit to the home pro,

The basis for the criticism of this
tariff is that In respect to nunbc,
Of the schedules the declared measure
was not followed. but higher differ
encc retained or inserted by way OF
undue discrimination in favor Of GER
tain Industries and manufactures.
Little, if any, Of the criticism Of the
tariff has been directed against the
protective principle above stated, but
the main body Of the criticism has been
based on the charge that the attempt
to conform to the measure Of rrotec.
ton was not honestly and sincerely adj

The time in which the tariff was pre-
pared undoubtedly was so short rs to
make it impossible for the congress

Judicial Salaries.
further recommend to congress the
passage Of the bill now pending for
the increase in the salaries Of the fed
eral judges, by which the chief justice
of the supreme court shall receive ST..

the circuit judges constituting the cir
cult court Of appeals shall receive So,
600 and the district judges $4,000 The
positions they occupy ought to be filed

possible for the government TO pay
salaries so low for judicial service as
not to be able to command the best

part of the country.

For many years there has been y
deficit in the operations of the post
Office department which has been met
by appropriation from the treasury.
The appropriation estimated for last

S17,5OO000. am glad to record the
fact that Of that S17,5O0,000 estimated
for S11,5O0.000 were saved and return
