the canal without suggesting as a
wise amendment to the interstate
commerce law a provision prohibit
ing interstate commerce railroads
from owning or controlling ships
engaged in the trade through the
Panama canal. l believe such a
provision may be needed to save to
the people of the United States the
benefits of the competition in trade
between the eastern and western
seaboards which this canal will be
constructed to secure.
Injunction Bill
| wish to renew my urgent rec
ommendation. made in my last an
nual message, in favor of the pas
sage of a law which shall regulate
the issuing of injunctions in equity
without notice, in accordance with
the best practice now in vogue in
the courts of the United States. |
regard this of especial Importance.
first because it has been promised,
and second. because it will deprive
those who now complain of certain
alleged abuses in the proper issuing
of injunctions without notice of any
real ground for further amendment
and will take away all semblance
of support for the extremely radical
legislation they propose, which will
be most pernicious if adopted. will
sap the foundations of judicial
power, and legaliZe that cruel social
instrument, the secondary boycott.
Judicial Salaries
| further recommend to congress
the passage of the bill now pend
ing for the increase in the salaries
of the federal judges, by which the
chief justice of the supreme court
shall receive $17,500 and the asso-
ciate justices $4,000; the circuit
judges constituting the circuit court
of appeals shall receive $4,000 and
the district judges $4,000. The
cost of living is SUCH especially in
the large cities, that even the sal
aries fixed in the proposed bill will
enable the incumbents to accumu-
late little, if anything, to support
their families after their death.
At its last session congress made
provision for the establishment &C
savings banks by the postofIce de-
partment of this government, by
which, under general control of
trustees, consisting of the postmas-
ter-general, the secretary of the
treasury and the encouragement
the system could be begun in few
cities and towns, and enlarged to
cover within it's operations as many
cities and towns and as large part
of the country as seemed wise Ar
rangements have been perfected Sc
that savings banks will be opened
in some cities and towns on the
first of January, and there will be
gradual extension of the benefits
of the plan to the rest of the coun-
try
Wiping Out of Postal Deficit
AS | have said. the postoffice de-
ri &c m. h,.Ct Il
partment, and | am glad to note the
fact that under its present manage
ment principles of business economy
and efficiency are being applied.
Fer many years there has been a
deficit in the operations of the post
Office department which has been
met by appropriation from the
treasury The appropriation estim-
ated for last year from the treasury
over and above the receipts of the
department was $17,500,O00. am
glad to record the fact that of that
SIT 100000 estimated for, $11,5OO,-
We're saved and restored to the
treasury The personal efforts of
the postmaster-ge secured the
effective cooperation of the thous-
ands of postmasters and other pos
tai officers throughout the country
in carrying out his plans of reor-
ganiZation and retrenchment. Thus
the postmaster-genera has been
able to make his estimate of ex-
penses for the present year so low
as to keep within the amount the
postal service is expected to earn.
1t is gratifying to report that the
