TAFT
DOESN'T FAVOR
CENTRAL" BANK
ANOTHER OF HIS PROMISED Sc
RIEs OF MESSAGES SENT
TO CONGRESS.
SD Subsidize American Ships to
an Amount Equal to Tolls Charged
at Panama Canal When Completed.
FaVors Parcels Post.

Washington, Dec. 21.-President
Taft sent another of his promised Sc
ries of messages to congress today.
This time he dealt with currency re-
form, Panama canal tolls and various
governmental questions.
On the subject of currency reform
and in connection with the forthcom-
ing report to congress on he none
tary commission, President Taft said
it was exceedingly fortunate that;
''In the wise and undisputed policy
of maintaining unchanged the main
features Of cur banking system rem
dered it at once impossible to intro
duce a central bank"
He gave his approval to the pro-
posed national reserve association. AS
to the management Of this association,
the president said that this was main
ly bankers work, and the banks could
be trusted better than anybody else to
conduct it However, he urged that
some form of government supervision
and ultimate control would prevail,
and that the currency reform should
not be made a political issue.
Favors Parcels Post.
Immediate establishment of rural
parcels post was urged. The president
took the position that the post would
not destroy the business of the coun-
try storel8eepers.
'Insead of doing this" he said, Il
think the change will greatly in
crease business for the benefit of all.
The reduction in the cost of living it
will bring about ought to make it's
commission certain"
On the Panama canal the president
dealt with the question of whether
4 american shipping should pay tolls.
~pam very confident that the United
States has the power to relieve from
the payment of tolls any part of our
shipping that congress deems wise,c
said the president.
Subsidize American Ships.
1--WE want control 1t is the United
States money that built it. We have
the right to charge tolls for its use.
These tolls must be the same to every
one; but when we are dealing with
our own ships the practice of many
governments substituting their own
merchant vessels is so we'll establish
ed in general that a subsidy is equal
to the tolls, an equivalent remission
of tolls cannot be held to be a dis
elimination in the use of the canal"
Taft's Recommendations
Among the presidents recommen-
dations were the following:
An immediate increase of two thou
sand in the enlisted strength of the
navy.
Abolition of the smaller navy yards.
Contributory pension system for
government employees.
Elimination Of all local offices from
politics.
Increased appropriation for the
completion of river and harbor i'm
provements along the Mississippi, uile
Ohio and Missouri rivers. An ex-
tension of the term of service of the
special board of engineers on the
waterways from the lakes to the gulf.
Power to the president to remove
clerks of federal courts for cause.
Payment of the French spoilation
judgments.
Employers liability and workmen's
compensation legislation called to the
attention of congress.

Birds Do a Wonderful Amount Of
Work For the Farmer.
Birds work more In conjunction with
man to help bin than does any other
form Of outdoor life, according to an
article in Success Magazine. They
police the earth and air, and without
their services the farmer would be
helpless. Larks, wrens and thrushes
search the ground for grubs and in
sects. The food of the meadow lark
consists of 70 per cent Of injurious
insects and u per cent Of weed seed.
showing it to be bird Of great eco
monte value. Sparrows, fnches and
quail eat a large amount OF weed seed
Practically all the food Of the tree
sparrow consists Of seed. Examina
tons by Professor +. +. L. Beal Of the
biological survey OF the department Of
agriculture show that a single tree
sparrow win eat quarter Of an ounce
of weed seed daily. In state the
size Of Iowa tree sparrows alone will
consume more than 800 tons Of weed
seed annually. This, with the work
Of other seed eating birds, saves the
farmer an immense amount of work.
Nuthatches and chickadees sean
every part OF the trunks and limbs of
trees for insect eggs. In days time
ehickadee has been known TO eat
hundreds OF insect eggs and worms
that are very harmful to our trees
and vegetables. Warblers and vireos
hunt the leaves and buds for moths
and millers. Flycatchers, swallows and
night hawks are busy day and night
catching flies that bother man and
beast. Hawks and owls are working
silently in daylight and darkness to
catch moles, mice, gophers and SOUR

pus An appeal to the United States
supreme court was allowed by Judge
Kohlsaat on his decision.
After deciding to quash the writ OF
