clude the usual deficiency estimates in
1917, and these additions would make
a total deficit of some $297, 100000. If
the present taxes should be continued
throughout this year and the next,
however, there would be balance IN
the treasury Of some $76,5O0,OOO at
the end of the present fiscal year and
a deficit Mt the end of the next year of
only some $5O,OOO,OOO, or, reckoning in
$62,OOO,OOO for deficiency appropria-
tons and a safe treasury balance ut
the end of the year, a total deficit of
some $112,OOO,OOO. The obvious moral
of the figures is that it is plain coun-
sci of prudence to continue all of the
present taxes or their equivalents and
confine ourselves to the problem of
providing $112,OOO,OOO of new revenue
rather than 1927 100000.
How shall we obtain the new rev.
enue? We are frequently reminded
that there are many millions Of bonds
which the treasury is authorized under
existing law to sell to reimburse the
sums paid out Of current revenues for
the construction of the Panama canal,
and it is true that bonds for the
amount of 1920, 432 600 are now avail
able for that purpose. Prior to 1913
$13S,OOO,OOO Of these bonds had &C.
tually been sold to recoup the expendi-
lures at the isthmus, and now con.
stitute considerable item of the pub
lie debt. But for one do not believe
that the people Of this country approve
of postponing the payment of their
bills. Borrowing money is shortsight-
ed finance. It can be justified only
when permanent things are to be &C.
complished which many generations
will certainly benefit by and which it
seems hardly fair that q single genera
ton should pay for. The objects we
are now proposing to spend money for
cannot be so classified, except in the
sense that everything wisely done may
be said to be done in the interest of
posterity as well as In our own. It
seems to me clear dictate of pru-
dent craftsmanship and frank finance
that in what we are now, hope, about
to undertake we should pay as We go.
The people Of the country are entitled
to know just what. burdens of taxation
they are to carry and to know from the
outset now. The new bills should be
paid by internal taxation.

REGULATIONS TO MEET
RAILROAD PROBLEM.
Nesdsd to Make Lines More Osstvt
Servant Of Country.

Needed to Make Lines More Useful
Servants Of Country.
In the meantime may l make this
suggestion? The transportation PROD.
lem is an exceedingly serious and
pressing one in this country. There
has from time to time of late been rea-
son 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 by
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 IL obviously
a problem that lies ut the very foun-
dalton Of our efficiency as people.
Such an inquiry ought to draw out
every circumstance and opinion worth
considering, and We need to know
all sides Of the matter II we mean to
do anything in the Geld 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 10
not, What should We undo? It u
whether there IL anything else We can
do that would supply NJ with effective
means, in the very process Of regu-
lation, for lettering the conditions un-
der which the railroads are operated
and for making them more useful serv-
ants Of the country as whole. It
seems to me that 1t might be the part
Of wisdom, therefore, before further
legislation in this field Is attempted.
to look at the whole problem OF cooI-
dination and efficiency in the full light
Of q fresh assessment Of Circumstance
and opinion, as guide to dealing with
The several parts Of Il.

Of individual liberty and of the fret
labor that supports life and the un
censored Thought that nuickenS it

Of individual liberty and of the free
labor that supports life and the I'M.
censored thought that quickens it.
Conquest and dominion are not in our
reckoning or agreeable to our princi-
pies. But just because we demand I'M
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 con1ine 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 is a 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 he free from all outside
domination as that we ourselves should
be; have set America aside 40 whole
for the uses Of independent nations and
political freemen. 9's%-
Out Of such thoughts grow all our
policies. We regard war merely as q
means of asserting the rights Of q peo-
pie against aggression. And we are
as fiercely 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.

SHOULD AGREE ON POLICY

Recommends Early Adoption Of Meas.

T Hseemmsnds Early Adoption Of Msss-

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 $1O4, ITO, 1O5.7S.
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 31st Of
December, 1915, and that the present
duty Of 1 cent per pound on sugar Will
be discontinued after the LIST of May,
1916, will be 500, 365, 800. The balance
of June last and these estimated rev.
enues come therefore to grand total
Of $774,535, 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-
lions, will be $753, SOL 900. and the bal
ance in the general fund of the treas
ury will be reduced to $20,644, COSTS
The emergency revenue act II c0ntin-
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 LIST Of May
about fifteen millions. These two sums,
amounting together to ffty-six mil
lions, IL 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.-

I OLLOWING is the message of
President Wilson delivered at q
joint sess. = of the senate and
hOnSe ot the beginning of the

house at the beginning of the
Sixty-fourth congress:
Gentlemen Of the Congress-Since
last had the privilege of addressing
you on the state of the Union the war
Of nations on the other side of the sea,
which had then only begun to disclose
Its p0rtentous proportions, has extend
ed its threatening and sinister scope
until it has swept within its flame
some portion of every quarter Of the
globe, not excepting our own hemi-
sphere, has altered the whole face of
International affairs, and now presents
"A prospect of reorganization and re-
construction such as statesmen and
peoples have never been called upon
to attempt before.
The president tells how this country
practiced neutrality and declares that
be hopes that when the time comes
for readjustment and recuperation this
country will be Of infinite service. Re
fefring to Central and South American
problems, the president declares that
we should retain undated the spirit
which has inspired us throughout the
whole life of our government and
which was so frankly put into words
by President Monroe.
We have been put to the test In the
case of Mexico, and we have stood the
test Whether we have benefited Mex
leo by the course we have pursued re-
mains to be seen. Her fortunes are In
>her own hands. But we have at least
sproved that we will not take advan-
Stage Of her in her distress and under
take to impose upon her an order and
government of our own choosing. Lib
erty Is often fierce and intractable
thing, to which no bounds can be set
and to which no bounds Of few
mems choosing ought ever to be set.
Every American who has drunk at
tie true fountains of principle and ira
30ition must subscribe without reserva-
i3on to the high doctrine Of the Vir-
sElnia bill Of rights, which In the great
days in which our government was ret
No was everywhere among US accept
"a q the creed Of free men. That doc
J01ne -, THAT government 10 or ought
10 Be instituted for the common bene-
It protection and security Of the peo-
ole, nation or community" that "of
sau the various modes and forms OF
government. that is the best which is
capable Of producing the greatest de-
ixree Of happiness and safety and is
most enectually secured against the
danger Of maladministration, and that
when any government shall be found
Inadequate or contrary to these pur-
poses majority Of the community
hath an indubitable, inalienable and
indefeasible right to reform, alter or
abolish 1t in such manner as shall be
Judged most conducive to the public
veal" We have unhesitatingly ap-
piled that heroic principle to the case
of Mexico and now hopefully await
the rebirth of the troubled republic,
which had so much Of which to purge
itself and SO little sympathy from any
outside quarter in the radical but nee
essary process. We will aid and be-
friend Mexico, but we will not coerce
her, and our course with regard to her
fought to be sufficient proof to all Amer
1ca that we seek no political suzerainty
or selfish control.

would be navy fitted to our needs
and worthy Of our traditions.
But armies and instruments of war
are only part Of what has to be con-
sidered if we are to consider the su-
preme matter Of national self suficien-
CIV and security in all its aspects.
There are other great matters which
will be thrust upon our attention
whether we will or not. There is. for
example, very pressing question of
trade and shipping involved in this
great problem of national adequacy
1t is necessary for many weighty rea-
sons Of national efficiency and devel-
opment that we should have a great
merchant marine. The great merchant
fleet we once used to make us rich,
that great body of sturdy sailors who
used to carry our flag into every sea,
and who were the pride and often the
bulwark Of the nation, we have almost
driven out Of existence by inexcusable
neglect and Indifference and by hope
lessly blind and provincial policy of
SO called economic protection. It is
high time we repaired our mistake and
resumed our commercial independence
on the seas.
With a view to meeting these press
ing necessities Of our commerce and
availing ourselves at the earliest posi-
BILE moment of the present unparalleled
opportunity of linking the two Ameri-
cas- together in bonds of mutual inter-
est and service, an opportunity which
may never return again IL we miss 1t
now, proposals will be made to the
present congress for the purchase or
construction of ships to be owned and
directed by the government similar to
those made to the last congress, but
modified in some essential particulars.
recommend these proposals to you
for your prompt acceptance with the
more confidence because every month
that has elapsed since the former pro-
posals were made has made the ne
cessity for such action more and more
manifestly imperative. That need was
then foreseen. It is now acutely felt
and everywhere realized by those for
whom trade is waiting, but who can
find no conveyance for their goods. l
am not 50 much interested in the par
ticulars Of the program as am in
taking immediate advantage of the
great opportunity which awaits us If
we will but act in this emergency. In
this matter. as in all others. spirit Of
common counsel should prevail, and
out Of It should come an early solu-
ton Of this pressing problem.
