world which we all believe to have
been pr0videntialiy assigned to it,
have had in my mind no thought of
any immediate or particular danger
arising out Of our relations with other
nations We are at peace with all the
nations Of the world and there is rea-
son to hope that no question in con-
troversy between this and other gov
ernments will lead to any serious
breach of amicab!e relations. grave as
some differences of attitude and policy
have been and may yet turn out to be.
| am sorry to say that the gravest
threats against our national peace and
safety have been uttered within our
own borders. There are citizens Of the
United States, blush to admit, born
under other flags, but welcomed under
our generous naturalization laws to the
full freedom and opportunity Of Amer
lea, who have poured the poison Of dis
loyalty into the very arteries Of our
national life, who have sought to bring
the authority and good name Of our
government into contempt, to destroy
our industries wherever they thought
it effective for their Vindictfve pur-
poses to strike at them and to debase
our politics to the uses Of foreign In
trigue. Their number is not great as
compared with the whole number OF
those sturdy hosts by which our na-
ton has been enriched In recent gen.
erations out Of virile foreign stocks.
but it is great enough to have brought
deep disgrace upon us and to have
made it necessary that We should
promptly make use Of processes OF law
by which we may be purged Of their
corrupt distempers.
America never witnessed anything
like this before. It never dreamed 1t
possible that men sworn into its own
citizenship, men drawn out of great
free stocks such as supplied some Of
the best and strongest elements Of that
little, but how heroic, nation that in a
high day Of old staked its very life to
free itself from every ENHANCEMENT
that had darkened the fortunes of the
older nations and set up a new stand
ard here-that men of such origins and
such free choices Of allegiance would
ever turn in malign reaction against
the government and people who had
welcomed and nurtured them and seek
to make this proud country once more
a hotbed Of European passion. A lit
tie while ago such thing would have
seemed incredible Because it was in
credible we made no preparation for
it, We would have been almost
ashamed to prepare for it. as if we
were suspicious Of ourselves, our own
comrades and neighbors! But the ugly
and incredible thing has actually come
about, and ye are without adequate
federal laws to deal with Il. urge
you to enact such laws at the earliest
possible moment and feel that in doing
so am urging you to do nothing less
than save the honor and self respect
of the nation. Such creatures Of pas
sion. dislovaltv and anarchy must be

In the meantime may l make this
suggestion? The transportation prob
lem is an exceedingly serious and
pressing one in this country. There
has from time to time Of late been rea-
nnu TO fear that our railroads would
not much longer be able to cope with
It successfully. as at present equipped
and co-ordinated. suggest that it
would be wise to provide for COM
mission Of inquiry to ascertain 0y a
thorough canvass Of the whole Ques-
ton whether our laws as at present
framed and administered are as serv-
iceable as they might be in the solu-
ton Of the problem. 1t is obviously
a problem that lies at the very toun-
dation of our efficiency as a people.
Such an inquiry ought to draw out
every circumstance and opinion worth
considering. and We need to know
all sides Of the matter if we mean to
do anything in the field Of federal leg
islation.
No one, am sure. would wish to
take any backward step. The regula-
ton of the railways of the country by
federal commission has had admirable
results and has fully justified the
hopes and expectations of those by
whom the policy Of regulation was
originally proposed The question is
not, What should we undo? 1t is
whether there is anything else we can
do that would supply US with effective
means. in the very process Of regu-

PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE u
SHOULD AGREE ON POLICY
IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Recommends Early Adoption of Meas

Recommends Early Adoption of Meas
ures Giving Them Fuller Justice.
The president recommends the early
adoption of bills for the alteration and
reform Of the government of the Phil
ippines and for rendering fuller polit-
ical justice to the people Of Porto Rico,
which were submitted to the Sixty
third congress. The president refers
to the increased cost of carrying out
the plans for the armed forces Of the
nation and tells Of the fiscal problems
confronting the government.
On the 30th Of June last there was
an available balance In the general
fund Of the treasury Of S104,170, ,105.78.
The total estimated receipts for the
year 1916, on the assumption that the
emergency revenue measure passed by
the last congress will not be extended
beyond its present limit, the S1st of
December, 1915, and that the present
duty of I cent per pound On sugar will
be discontinued after the 1st Of May.
1916. will be $670,3G5, 800. The balance
Of June last and these estimated rev.
enues come therefore to grand total
OF Sta, 4,535y COSTS The total estimated
disbursements for the present fiscal
year. including twenty-five MILLIONS for
the Panama canal. twelve millions for
probable deficiency appropriations and
$4,000 for miscellaneous debt redemp-
tons. will be S753.S91, 900, and the bal,
ance in the general fund Of the treas,
ury will be reduced TO $20.644,G05.7S.
The emergency revenue act if contin-
ued beyond its present time limitation
would produce during the half year
then remaining about forty-one mil
lions. The duty Of ] cent per pound
on sugar if continued would produce
during the two months of the fiscal
year remaining after the lst Of May
about fifteen millions. These two sums,
amounting together to fifty-six mil
lions, if added to the revenues Of the
second half Of the fiscal year would
yield the treasury at the end Of the
year an available balance Of $76.644-
COSTS.
The additional revenues required to
carry out the program Of military and
naval preparation Of which l have
spoken would, as at present estimated,
be for the fiscal year 1917 S93,800,O00.
Those figures, taken with the figures
for the present fiscal year whic! ]
have already given, disclose our fnan-
cial problem for the year 1917. AS
suming that the taxes imposed by the
emergency revenue act and the pres
ent duty on sugar are to be discontin-
ned and that the balance at the close
Of the present fiscal year will be only
$50. .644,60573, that the disbursements
for the Panama canal will again be

Lecture Proved
Interesting Affair

Probably the most interesting lee
ture ever listened to in Carson was
delivered at the High School audi
forum, under the auspices OF the
Leisure Hour club, by ] Claude Jones,
professor of geology at the Ssate
university, last night. The attend
lance was small, but it did not lack in
interest.
Professor Jones' subject was the
Earthquake of October I'd, this year,
which shook Nevada from STERN to
stern and then kept on going till it
reached Salt Lake City on the east
and the Pacific on the west. The les
ture was illustrated by two or three
score of slides, which showed the dis
placements and other effects OF the
tremor at and near its point Of start
ing.
Throughout the professors talk
was entertaining and instructive, and
it brought out the fact hat the quake
just experienced was one OF the heav-
lest that has ever visited the Pacific
coast and had the section of country
in Humboldt county, where the shock
was heaviest felt, been thickly popu-
lated and builded up, the damage
would have been enormous and the
earthquake itself would have been
c1assed as one of the biggest of mod
ern days.
The professor stated that earth
quakes .in, intensity are numbered
from l to 10, the former figure repre-
senting a shock that could just be
felt and the latter figure one that
shook down buildings, boulders from
the mountain sides and caused gen
! eral destruction. In Pleasant valley
which stood the brunt Of October
quake, the shock could be designated
as between 9 and 10, and in Carson
Reno and other parts of the state
along a horizontal plane from th<
seat of disturbance it would be regis
tered as a number f tremor.
