For First Time In Century President Appears Before Both Houses
Of Congress and Delivers Message In Person.

matter of judgment, exercised item
by item. To some not accustomed to
the excitements and responsibilities
of greater freedom our methods may
in some respects and at some points
seem heroic, but remedies may be
heroic and yet be remedies. 1t is our
business to make sure thai they are
genuine remedies. Our object is
clear. If our motive is above Just
challenge and only an occasional er-
ror of judgment is chargeable against
us, we shall be fortunate.
Call For Reforms.
We are called upon to render the
country great Service in more mat
ters than one. Our responsibilities
should be met and our methods
should be thorough, as thorough as
moderate and we'll considered, based
upon the facts as they are, and not
worked out as if we were beginners
We are to deal with the facts of our
own day, with the facts of no other.
and to make laws which square with
those facts. 1t is best, indeed it is
necessary, to begin with the tariff.
l will urge nothing upon you now at
the opening of your session which can
obscure that first object or divert
our energies from that clearly de-
fined duty. At a later time | may
take the liberty of calling your at
tention to reforms which should press
close upon the heels of the tariff
changes, if not accompany them, of
which the chief is the reform of our
banking and currency laws; but Just
now | refrain. For the present. l
put these matters on one side and
think only of this one thing-of the
changes in our fiscal system which
may best serve to open once more the
free channels of prosperity to a great
people whom we would serve to the
utmost and throughout both rank
and file.

TO PROTECT THE BIRDS
Audubon Society Asks National Leg
islatiOn to Prevent ImpOEta-
ton of Plumage.

The New York Geological Society
and the National Association of Au-
dubon Societies are asking for a pro-
vision to be Incorporated in the new
tariff bill, now being framed by the
ways and means committee of con-
gress.
At the end of Section No. 43S of
the new tariff law add the follow
ing:
Provided, that the importation of
aigrettes, egret plumes or osprey
plumes, and the feathers, quills,
heads, wings, tails, skins or parts of
skins of wild birds, either raw or
manufactured. and not for scientific
or educational purposes. is hereby
prohibited; but this provision shall
not apply to the feathers and plumes
of ostriches, or to the feathers of do
mestic fowls of any kind"
This movement has been brought
about by the wholesale slaughter of
birds all over the world, for milli-
merry purposes. Australia has already
Society for the Protection of Birds, of
London, has been fighting the Lon
don feather trade for five years, and
demanding an act of parliament to
stop England's share in the slaugh-
ter.
This is not purely sentimental
movement; there is practical, scien-
tific common sense for foundation.
People who have positive knowl
edge of the facts, who have been
studying the subject of it's relations,
for many years. are strong support
ers of this provision asked of con-
gress. And the appeal has been
made to the women of America, to
give their influence as help in the
matter
Interested people all over the
world are becoming alarmed over the
rapid determination of birds, largely
for millinery purposes. The feather
hunters have been waging furious,
relentless, increased slaughter in the
last five years. Mr.. William T.
Hornaday, an acknowledged author
ity on this subject. states that fully
one hundred species of the most
beautiful and curious birds of the
world are being utterly extirminated,
no species is sacred, none are spared,
from the condor down to the tiny
humming bird. in the unprotected re-
gions. TheTemotest regions are ran
sacked and combed out by savages,
which had heretofore escaped"
He also states that eleven impor-
tant species of birds of North Amer
lea have become extinct in our own
time, and several others are almost
extinct"
The only argument that can be ad-
vanced for this slaughter is "the
trade wants the money" For in
stance. in London a bunch of 1000
humming bird skins was sold at 2
cents apiece.
It is not alone the actual destruc-
tion of the adult birds, for they are
taken by preference during the
breeding season. because at this time
the plumage is at its greatest perfec-
ton and beauty. BY this practice the
eggs are left TO spoil, but worse, the
helpless young are abandoned to mis-
erably perish by starvation. This
was VIGOROUSLY the case with the

OREGON NEWS in BRIEF
Items of Interest Regarding Matters
in Various Parts of the
State.

Artesian water has been struck in
Crook county and it is believed it
will be of great benefit to farmers
and stockmen. The flow was struck
at depth of 1877 feet
Farmers in the Molalla- Candy dis
trict of !Clackamas county have a
plan to market their produce direct
ly to the consumer in Portland by
bringing it to the city on auto-trucks
and cutting out the middleman.
They hope to save 40 to 60 per cent
in the present cost to the buyer.
Pendleton will be the scene of an
important convention on April IA
and 10, when the Columbia and
Snake Rivers Waterway Association
will meet there. Navigation matters
will occupy the time of the delegates.
the object of the meeting being to
improve the channels of these two
great rivers.
Loganberry culture is profitable
when this delicious fruit produces as
it did for a fruitgrower on Mission
Bottom, Marion county, yielding 49,
200 pounds to the acre last season.
These were the weights given by the
cannery where he marketed his fruit.
He was paid cents per pound. or
$4SS per acre. About $3.50 of this
amount was net.
The weather bureau has inaugur-
ated a special service for the fruit
districts of the state during April
and May. Trained men will be
placed in the chief fruit districts who
will be prepared to notify fruit grow
ers just what temperature may be
expected on frosty mornings. 1t is
thought that in this way damage
may be greatly lessened by timely
warnings.
Railroads and commercial bodies
are in league with each other to at
tract the Panama-Pacific Exposition
travel in 1915 through Oregon and
Washington either en- route to the
fair or on the return trip. Since
many in the east are already plan
ming their trip west, it is thought
necessary to start this work early in
order to reach the. greatest number
of prospective fair visitors.
The collection of funds for the re-
lief of the flood and cyclone swept
parts of the middle west has been a
work of the past week in which the
whole state has participated. Money
and provisions have been given with
generous hand. Oregon's contribu-
tions will total about $25, 900, which
speaks we'll for the generosity of her
people. A feature of the work that
merits special credit was the gift OF
500 by Chinese residents of Baker.
Assurance has been given from
Washington that the famous old bat
tleship Oregon will not be disman.

but it will be retained in commission
as part of the Pacific reserve fleet
with headquarters at the Puget
Sound navy yard. Advices have been
received to this effect in response tc
petitions from this state that the OLD
sea fighter be saved from destruc.
ton.

For Better Work.

1t is plain what those principles
must be. We must abolish every
thing that bears even the semblance
of privilege or of any kind or arti-
ficial advantage, and put our busi-
ness men and producers under the
stimulation of constant necessity to
be efficient, economical and enter
prising, masters of competitive SUI
premacy, better workers and mer-
chants than any in the world. Aside
from the duties laid upon articles
which we do not, and probably can
not, produce, therefore, and the du-
ties laid upon luxuries and merely
for the sake of the revenues they
yield, the object of the tariff dutiess
henceforth laid must be effective
competition, the whetting of Ameri-
can wits by contest with the wits of
the rest of the world.
1t would be unwise to mcve toward
this end headlong, with reckless
haste, or with strokes that cut at the
very roots of what has grown up
among us by long process and at our
own invitation. 1t does not alter a
thing to upset it and break it and
deprive it of chance to change. 1t
destroys it. We must make changes
in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal sys-
tenn, whose object is development, a
more free and wholesome develop
ment, not revolution or upset or con-
fusion. We must build up trade. es-
pecially foreign trade. We need the
outlet and the enlarged field of en-
ergy more than we ever did before
We must build up industry as well
and must adopt freedom in the place
of artificial stimulation only so far
as it will build, not pull down. In
dealing with the tariff the method
by which this may be done will be a

son to the sixty-third congress in
joint session:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
have called the congress together
in extraordinary session because a
duty was laid upon the party now
in power at the recent elections
which it ought to perform promptly,
in order that the burden carried by
the people under existing law may be
lightened as soon as possible and in
order, also, that the business inter
ests of the country may not be kept
too long in suspense as to what the
fiscal changes are to be to which they
will be required to adjust themselves.
1t is clear to the whole country that
the tariff duties must he altered.
They must be changed to meet the
radical alteration in the conditions of
our economic life which the country
has witnessed within the last gener-
alton. While the whole face and
method of our Industrial and COM
mercial life were being changed be-
yond recognition the tariff schedules
have remained what they were before
the change began, or have moved in
the direction they were given when
no large circumstance of our indus
trial development was what it is to-
day. Our task is to square them
with the actual facts. The sooner
that is done the sooner we shall es-
cape from suffering from the facts
and the sooner our men of business
will be free to thrive by the law of
nature (the nature of free business)
instead of the law of legislation and
artificial arrangement.
A Set of Privileges.
We have seen tariff legislation
wander very far afield in cur day
very far indeed from the field in
which our prosperity might have had
normal growth and stimulation. No
one who looks the facts suuarely in
the face or knows anything that lies
beneath the surface of action can fail
to perceive the principles upon which
recent tariff legislation has been
based. We long ego passed beyond
the modest notion of protecting"
the industries of the country and
moved bodily forward to the idea
that they were entitled to the direct
patronage of the government. For a
long time-a time so Ions that the
men now active in public policy hard
ly remember the conditions that pre-
ceded tive have sought in our tar
iff schedules to give each group of
manufacturers or producers what
they themselves thought that they
needed in order to maintain a prac-
tically exclusive market as against
the rest of the world. Consciously
or unconsciously, we have built up
set of privileges and exemptions from
compel tion behind which it was easy
by any, even the crudest, forms of
combination to organize monopoly,
until at last nothing is normal, moth
ing is obliged to stand the tests of
efficiency and economy, in our world
of big business, but everything
thrives by concerted arrangement.
Only new principles of action will
save us from final hard crystalliza-
tion of monopoly and complete loss
of the influences that quicken enter
prise and keep independent energy
alive.
