PRESIDENT Lux today emphasized the
fact that with the old system of gate
cha rye it cost the head of a family of
aver age size-five persons-$2.50 to
obta in admission to the grounds. In
der the new plan it will cost a man
with $1,000 of taxable property but
TWEEN, ty-five cents.
Acc :ording to President Lux the
money! received through the conceS-
sions, grandstand admissions, ETC., will
be miole to meet all expenses outside
of the actual payment of premiums.
And he says that the estimate is ex-
tremely conservative and it allows a

SUGGESTS BROAD PLAN
FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE

Increase Standing Regular Force-Four
Hundred Thousand Citizen Soldiers.
i But war has never been a mere mat
| ter of men and guns. 1t is a thing
| of disciplined might If our citizens
are ever to fight effectively upon
| sudden summons, they must know
| how modern fighting is done. and what
! to do when the summons comes to
| render themselves Immediately avail
| able and Immediately effective. And
| the government must be their servant
in this matter. must supply them with
the training they need to take care of
themselves and of it The military
arm of their government. which they
will not allow to direct them. they may
properly use to serve them and make
their independence secure, and not
their own independence merely. but
the rights also of those with whom
they have made common cause, should
they also be put in jeopardy. They
must be fitted to play the great role
In the world. and particularly in this
hemisphere, Tor which they are quail
fed by principle and by chastened am
bitton to play.
1t is With these ideals in mind that
the plans Of the department of war for
more adequate national defense were
conceived which will be laid before
you, and which urge you to sanction
and put into effect as soon as they can
be properly scrutinized and discussed.
They seem 70 me the essential first
steps, and they seem to me for the
present sufficient
They contemplate an increase Of the
standing To:ce of the regular army
from its present strength of 5,023 off,
GERS and 102.9S5 enlisted men of all
services TO strength Of 7,136 officers
and 154, T0T enlisted men. or 141, S43

the addition of fifty-twO companies of
coast artillery, fifteen companies of en-
gineers, ten regiments of infantry, four
regiments of field artillery and four
aero squadrons, besides TOO officers re-
Quired for a great variety of extra
service, especially the all important
duty Of training the citizen force of
which shall presently speak, 1872 non
commissioned officers for service in
drill, recruiting and the like and the
necessary quota of enlisted men for
the quartermaster corps, the hospital
corps, the ordnance department and
other similar auxiliary services. These
are the additions necessary to render
the army adequate for its present du-
ties, duties which it has to perform
not only upon our own continental
coasts and borders and at our interior
army posts, but also in the Philippines,
in the Hawaiian Islands. at the 18TH
mus and in Porto Rico.
By way of making the country ready
to assert some part OF its real power
promptly and upon a larger scale
should occasion arise the plan also
contemplates supplementing the army
by a force of 100000 disciplined citi-
zens. raised in increments Of $4,000 q

vided with personal accouterments as
fast as enlisted and their equipment
for the field made ready to be supplied

convenient places in association with
suitable units of the regular army.
Their period of annual training would
not necessarily exceed two months In

To what sources. then. shah we
turn? This is 50 peculiarly question
which the gentlemen of the house Of
representatives are expected under the
constitution to propose an answer to

more than discuss 1t in very general

most universal example of modern
governments If we were TO draw the
greater part or even the whole OF the
revenues we need from the income
taxes. By somewhat lowering the pres

at which the surtax shall begin TO be
imposed and by increasing. step by step,
throughout the present graduation the

PRESIDENT WILSON'S INITIAL
MESSAGE TO GATH CONGRESS

and permit the full Significance of it to
command your thought | cannot find
the right light in which to set forth
the particular matter that lies at the
very front of my whole thought as
address you today. | mean national
defense
No one who really conprehends the
spirit of the great people for whom we
arc appointed to speak can fail TO per,
ceive that their passion is for peace.
their genius best displayed IN the prac-'
tice of the arts of peace. Great democ-
racies are not be!ligerent. They do not
seek or desire war. Their thought Is
OF individual liberty ard of the free
labor that supports life and the un-
censored thought that quickens it.
Conquest and dominion are not in our
reckoning or agreeable to our princi-
pies. But just because We demand Cn-
molested development and the undis-
turbed government of our own lives
upon our own principles of right and
liberty. we resent. from whatever
quarter it may come. the aggression we
ourselves will not practice. We insist
upon security in prosecuting our self
chosen lines of national development
We do more than that. We demand it
also for others. We do not confine our
enthusiasm for individual liberty and
free national development to the Incl
dents and movements of affairs which
affect only ourselves. We feel it wher-
ever there ic people that tries to walk
In these difficult paths of independence
and right. From the first we have
made common cause with all partisans
of liberty on this side the sea and have
deemed it as important that our neigh.
bors should be free from all outside
dominat ton as that We ourselves should
be; have set America aside as whole
for the uses of independent nations and
political freemen.
Out of such thoughts grow all our
policies. We regard war merely as
means of asserting the rights of PEG
pie against aggression. And we are
as fercely Jealous Of coercive or dicta
torial power within our own nation
as OF aggression from without. We
will not maintain standing army ex
cept for uses which are as necessary
In times of peace as in times of war
and we shall always see to it that our
military peace establishment is no
larger than is actually and continuous
ly needed for the uses of days in which
no enemies move against us. But we
do believe in body of free citizens
ready and sufficient to take care OF
themselves and of the gCAernments
which they have set up to serve them
In our constitutions themselves we
have commanded that the right OF
the people to keep and bear arms shall
not be infringed.'' and our confidence
has been that our safety in times of
danger would lie in the rising of the
nation to take care of itself, as the
farmers rose at Lexington.
