Until l am in direct contact with
the practical questions involved
can only suggest that in
the case Of the telegraphs
and telephones, as in the case Of the
railways. il is clearly desirable in
the public interest that some legis-
latiOn should be considered which
may tend to make OF these indis-
pensable instrumentalities of our
modern life a uniform and CO.
ordinated system which will afford
those who use them as complete and
certain means Of communication
with all parts OF the country as
has so long been afforded by the
postal system of the Government,
and at rates as uniform and intel
liEible.
Expert advice is. OF course, avail

Gentlemen Of the Congress:

II still seems 10 be my duty to take
part IN the counseis OF the peace
conference and contribute what

they are questions which AFFECT the

II is nece ssary. therefore, that l
should immediately call your at

hardly necessary for me TO. urge
that il may receive your prompt
attention.

our attention and the attention or
the world during these last anxious
months. since the armistice Of last
November was signed, the inter

national action in the immediate

tons pressing for consideration tn

is difficult and expensive. Those
which are levied upon articles sold
at retail are largely evaded by
the readjustment of retail prices.
On the other hand. ! should as
sumo that il is expedient to main
tain a considerable range Of in
direct taxes: and the fact that al
cOholic liquors will presently no
longer afford a source OF revenue
by taxation makes il the more
necessary that the field should be
carefully restudied in order that
equivalent sources of revenue may
be found which il will be leg!ti-
mate, and not bUrdensome, TO draw
upon. But you have at hand in the
Treasury Department many eX-
perts who can advise you upon the
matters much better than ! can. I
can only suggest the lines OF A
permanent and workable system,
and the placing Of the taxes where
they will least hamper the life Of
the people.
There Is, fortunately. no occasion
for undertaking in the immediate
future any general revision of our
system OF import duties. No seri-
Gus danger Of foreign competition
now threatens American industries.
Our country has emerged from the

countries which are our competitors

raised in order that they might
be loaned to the governments with
which We were associated in the
war. and those loans will, OF
course. constitute assets. not liabil-
tiles, and will not have to be taken
care Of by our taxpayers.
The main thing we shall have to
care for is that our taxation shall
rest as lightly as possible on the
productive resources of the COun-
try. that its rates shall be stable,
and that il shall be constant in its
revenue yielding power. We have
found the main sources from which
il must be drawn. l take il for
granted that its mainstays will
henCeforth be the income tax, the
excess profits tax. and the estate
tax.
All these can so be adjusted to
yield constant and adequate re-
turns and yet not constitute a too
grievous burden on the taxpayer.
4 revision of the income tax has
already been provided for by the
act of 1919. but / think you will
find that further changes can be
made 10 advantage both in tho
rates Of the tax and in the method
of its collection. The excess profits
tax need not long be maintained
at the rates which were necessary
while the enormous expenses of the
war had to be borne: but IL should
be made the basis of a permanent
system which will reach undue
profits without discouraging the
enterprise and activity of our bust
ness men. The tax on inheritances
ought. no doubt. to be recons.d-
cred in its relation to the fiscal
systems Of the several States. but
il certainly ought to remain
permanent part OF the fiscal sys-
tenn of the Federal Government
also.
