 President Wilson's message to SH gross is as follows:
 To the Senate and House of Red sentatives:
 l sincerely regret that I cannotI present at the opening Of this sess' of the congress. l am thus preverI from presenting in as direct a. ! as l could wish the many questi1 ~-'~NS "'@ - Ph oNooA'iS JOI SOJuJEO1 time. Happily, I have the advantI of the advice of the heads of the 5 eral executive departments who hl kept in close touch with affairs their detail and whose though recommendations I earnestly seed
 In the matter of the railroads ] the readjustment of their affaI growing out of federal control, I sj take the liberty at later day of dressing you. Favors Budget System. hope that congress will bring{ a conclusion at this session IegiI ton looking to establishment off budget system. That there should one single authority responsible the making of all appropriations | that appropriations should not made independently of each other with reference with one single cc prehensive plan of expenditure pr erly related to the nations incot there can be no doubt. | believe burden of preparing the budget mi Tn the nature of the case, if the VI Is to be properly done and respor| biiity concentrated instead of div} ed, rest upon the executive. budget so prepared should be subnI ted to and approved or amended | single committee of each house congress and no single appropriat. should be made by the congress. cept such as may have been ircft16y in the budget prepared by the exc tive or added by the particular col mittee of congress charged with | budget legislation.

The auI tors should be highly trained offici| with permanent tenure in the treasIj department, free of obligations to motives of consideration for this any subsequent administration al authorized and empowered to exami| into and make report upon the met ods employed and the results cI tained by the executive departmeij of the government. Their repol should be made to the congress al to the secretary of the treasury.

SimpIifid ton of the income and profits tad has become an immediate necessil These taxes performed indispensa1 service during the war. They md however, be simpIified not only save the taxpayer inconvenience al expense, but in order that his lialI ity may be made certain and deflnil
 With reference to the details the revenue law, the secretary of Il treasury and the missioner of | ternal revenue will lay before you iI your consideration certain amen| ments to or desirable in connecti| with the administration of the law1 recommendation which have ll approval and support It is of q utmost importance that in deali with this matter the present Ia should not be disturbed so far as [ gards taxes for the calendar ye 1920, payable in tho calendar ye 1921. The congress might well co sider whether the higher rates of | come and profits taxes can in pea times be effectively productive
 revenue, and whether they may II on the contrary, be destructive Of bu mess activity and productive
 waste and inefliciency. There is point at which in peace times hi rates of income and profits taxes q courage energy, remove the incenti to new enterprise, encourage extra
