What Has Been Done
by Administration

During this administration we have
given special attention to the machinery
Of government with a view TO increasing
its efficiency and reducing its cost. For
twenty years there has been Il continuous
expansion in every direction OF ;he gov
ernmental functions and a necessary in
crease In the civil and military servants
by which these functions are performed
The expenditures OF the government have
normally increased from year TO year on
an average of nearly per cent. There
never has been q systematic investig1-
ton and REORGANIZATION OF this govern
mental structure with q view 20 eliminat-
Ing Implications, to uniting bureaus where
union Is possible and more effective, and
10 making the whole organization more
compact and Its parts more closely CO.
ordinated. AS a beginning. we examined
closely the estimates. These, unless
watched, grow from year to year under
the natural tendency OF the bureau chiefs
The first estimates which were preSented
TO us we cut some 100000, and this
policy we have maintained through the
administration and have prevented the
normal annual increase IN government cx-
penditures so the result is that the deficit
of SIS 735. 900 which We found on July !,
1909. was changed on July |, 1910, by in
crease OF the revenues under the Payne
law, including the corporation tax, to a

Pledges All Needed;
Changes in Tariff

There is one respect In which high tariff
rates may make for exorbtant prices III
the rate is higher than the difference be-
tween the cost OF production here and
abroad, then 1t tempts the manufacturers
of this country To secure monopoly of
the industry and to increase its price as
far IA the excessive tariff Will permit.
The danger may be avoided In two ways:
First, By carefully adjusting the tariff
on articles needing protection so that the
manufacturer secures only enough pro-
lection to pay the scale of high wages
which obtains and ought 10 obtain In this
country and secure reasonable profit
from the business. This may be done by
the continuance of the Tariff Boards In
yestigation into the facts, which VIII en-
able Congress and the people TO know
what the tariff as 10 each schedule ought
to be. The American public may rest
assured that should tho Republican party
be restored to power in all legislative
branches, all the schedules in the present
tariff of which complaint is made Will be
subjected to investigation and report by
a competent and impartial Tariff Board
and TO the reduction or change which
may be necessary to square the rates
with the facts.
The other method Of avoiding danger OF
excessive prices from excessive duties is
to- enforce the antitrust law against
those who combine 10 take advantage of
the excessive tariff rates. This brings
me to the discussion of the Sherman act
The antitrust law was passed To pro-
vide against the organization and main
tenance OF combinations for the manu-
facture and sale OF commodities which,
through restraint Of trade. either by con-
tract and agreement or by various
methods of unfair competition. should
suppress competition, establish monopoly
aud control prices. The measure has been
on the statute books since 1890, and many
times under construction by the courts,
but not until the litigation against the
Standard Oil Company and against the

Party Stands for
an Adequate Navy

The dignity and effectiveness OF the
government of the United States. to-
gether with its responsibility for the pro-
lection OF Hawaii, Porto Rico. Alaska,
Panama and the Philippines. az we'll rs
for the maintenance Of the Monroe Doc
trine. require the maintenance Of an army
and navy We cannot properly re-
duce either below its present effective
size. The plan for the maintenance OF
the navy IN proportion 10 the growth OF
other navies OF the world calls for the
construction OF two new battleships each
year. The Republican party has felt the
responsibility and voted tho ships The
Democratic party, in House caucus. re-
pudiates any obligation TO meet this ma
tional need.
The Philippines have enjoyed popular
government and much prosperity during
this administration IN view Of the free
trade under the Payne bin which they
have enjoyed. The continuance OF the
same policy with respect to the Philip
pines will make the prosperity of those
Islands greater and greater and will
gradually nj their people for self-gov-
eminent and nothing viii prevent such
results except the ill-adVised policy pro-
posed by the Democratic party OF holding
before the Philippine people Independence

During this administration everything
that has been possible has been done to
increase our foreign trade, and under the
Payne bill the maximum and minimum
clause furnished the opportunity for re-
moving Determinations In that trade. so
that THE statistics show that our exports
and imports reached for the year ending
July !, 1912, Il higher figure than ever
before In the history Of the country. Our
imports for the last fiscal year. ending
Jufy 4 1912 amounted TO 81 Ga 42g ia and
our exports TO N,G9, 800 lss, or a total of
1857 .64S, 2C2 II there were added TO this
the business done with Porto Rico, Ha-
wall and the Philippines the sum total
Of our foreign trade would considerably
exceed 100, 0000pp. The excess OF our ex-
ports over imports is 5075.91i Manu-
features exported during the year 1912
exceed 81 10000. coo and surpass the pre-
vious record. These figures seem to show
that the business Is large enough to pro-
duce prosperity. and the fact Is that II
has done SO.
The platform Of 1903 promised, on be-
half of the Republican party, to do GER
tain things. One was that the tariff would
be revised at an extra session. An extra
session was called and the tariff was
revised. The platform did not say in
specific words that the revision would be
generally downward, but I construed II to
mean that. During the tendency OF the
bill and after II was passed Ii was sub
Jected TO the most vicious mlsrepresenta-
ton. IL was said TO be bill 10 increase
the tariff rather than to reduce IT. The
law has been In force now since August,
