SHORTEST MESSAGE
SENT BY PRESIDENT
WILSON STRAIGHT TO POINT In
URGING FREE TOLLS
REPEAL.

WASHINGTON, March G-The mes
sage that President Wilson read to
congress yesterday urging the repeal
OF the law which exempts American
ships from paying of tolls on the Pan
anna canal, was one of the most I'M
portant and the shortest ever sent by
president to congress. The mes
sage, the reading of which was fol-
lowed by such opposition to the step
proposed, was little more than 400
words in length. Its text, in full fol-
lows.
Gentlemen Of the Congress:
| have come to you upon an errand
which can be very briefly performed,
but beg that you viii not measure
its Importance by the number of sem
fences in which | state it. No com
Inunication / have addressed to the
congress carried with 1t graver or
more far-reaching implications to the
interest of the country, and / come
now to speak upon matter with re-
gard to which l am charged in pc
culiar degree. by the constitution it.
self, with personal responsibility.
/ have come to ask for the repeal
of that provision of the Panama canal
act of August %. 1912, which exeInpts
vessels engaged in the coastwise trade
of the United States from payment OF
tolls, and to urge upon you the JUS
ftfce, the wisdom and the large polNy
of such a repeal with the utmost earn
estness of which j am capable.
In my own judgment, very fully
considered and maturely formed, that
exemption constitutes a mistaken eco
nomic policy from every point of view,
and Is, moreover, in plain contraven-
ton of the treaty with Great Britain
concerning the canal concluded on
November is, l991.-Bat / have not
come to you to urge my personal
views i have come to state to you
fact and situation. Whatever may
be our own differences of opinion con-
corning this much-debated measure,
it's meaning is not debated outside the
United States. Everywhere else, the
language OF the treaty is given but one
Interpretation, and that interpreta-
ton precludes the exemption l am
asking you to repeal. We consented
I to the treaty; its language we ac-
cepted, If we did not originate 1t: and
we are too big, too powerful too self
respecting a nation to interpret with
too strained or refined reading the
words of our own promises just be-
cause we have power enough to give
US leave to read them as We please.
The large thing to do is the only thing
we can afford to do voluntary with
drawal from a position everywhere
questioned and misunderstood. We
ought to reverse our action without
raising the question whether we We're
right or wrong, and so once more de-
serve our reputation for generosity
and the redemption of every obliga-
ton without bubble or hesitation.
/ ask this of you in support of the
foreign policy of the administration. l
shall not know how to deal with other
matters of even greater delicacy and
nearer consequence II you do not grant
1t to me in ungrudging measure.

superintendent of special exhibits,
says:
THE department of social economy
of the Panama Pacific International
exposition desires to secure one ex-
hiblt showing an efficient method OF
milk inspection as carried on under
the direction of q municipal board
of health. The meeting of the ma
tional commission ON milk standards.
held In Richmond in the spring of
1913. convinced those In attendance
of whom / was fortunate in being
one-that the milk inspection system
of the city Of Richmond was one OF
the most efficient--if not the most
efficient--in the country. 1t would
seem wise, therefore, both for the
good name of the city OF Richmond
and the education of municipalities
through the world, that the Rich
mond system of milk inspection
should be shown as graphically and
completely as possible at the Pana-
ma Pacific international exposition.
Il am authorized by the chief of
the department of social economy,
therefore. to invite RICHMOND to out
line a plan for such an exhibit"
DR.. Levy is very much interested
In this subject. He would be pleased
to enter into the scheme Of showing
the world what Richmond has done
in purifying its milk supply He
says:
I'VE must certainly not loso this
opportunity of placing before tina
world the results which the Richmond
health department has accomplished
in this one direction. Mr. Hatch is
not relying on the opinion of any one
else---he has seen for himself.
IN -
of the board OF health at the next
meeting. Every citizen Of Richmond
should take special pride in seeing
that we are given the funds neces-
sarv to make a creditable exhibit /
fully count on the backing Of our
commercial bodies, our physicians,
and, indeed. all organizations OF
every KIND. in helping us.
~ cannot say Just how much would
be needed to enable MS to accept this
invitation. Unless We can make
good exhibit, | will be unwilling to
have any at all. We have the goods
and must show them right. I should
say that at least $1,000 would be
needed to show In a creditable man
ner what we have done for the i'm
provement OF our milk supply.
II think. furthermore, that we
ought not to confine ourselves to
showing only this one phase of our
work. Mr., Hatch happens TO be fa-
miiiar personally with our milk work.
But our work in connection with ty-
phoiti fever, infantfle diarrhea, fly
determination, and a number of other
matters, has been equally good
would like to let the world know
about this, too, and do NOT see now
Richmond could advertise herself
better than by spending several thou
sand dollars in showing to those who
attend the Panama Pacific exposition
from every part of the world how
Richmond looks after the health OF
her citizens. and what she has ac-
complished in this direction. I am
sure that the city council will not
deny us this opportunity"

oour Gil last night determined not to

bitant. Council has recently reduced

SIS for all additional ones.
There will be some increase in one
or two instances whare additional re-
sources have been added to places Of
business. but so far as professional
ana ordinary businesses are concerned
the committee felt, that as the past
year had not been unusually produce
tive, there would be NJ increases.

Text Tuesday afternoon at S o'clock
Bonds to the extent of a million and
a half will be issued for streets

and it was believed by the committee
last night that there would be no
trouble in placing the bonds.
At later date nearing wilt be
given all whose licenses may be
effected.
