string to enter upon any course
of retaliation, we must frank
ly face the fact that hostile
legislation by other nations is
not beyond the range of posi-
bility and that it may have to
be met by counter legislation.
This subject has, Fortunate
Iy, been exhaustively investi-
gated by the United States tar
if commission. A recent re
port of that commission has
shown very clearly t1at we
lack and we ought to have the
instruments necessary Tor the
assurance of equal and equit-
able treatment. The attention
of the congress has been call
ed to this matter on past occa-
sions, and the past measures,
which are now recommended
by the tariff commission, are
substantially the same that
have been suggested by previ-
Gus administrations. I recon-
mend that this phase of the
tariff question receive the ear
ly attention of the congress.
Urges Passage of Suffrage.
Will you not permit me,
turning from these matters. to
speak once more and very
earnestly of the proposed
amendment to the constitution
which would extend the suf-
rage to women and which
passed the house Of repreSen-
tatives at the last session of
the congress? 1t seems that
every consideration OF justice
and of public advantage calls
for the immediate adoption of
that amendment and its sub
mission forthwith to the 1egis-
latures of the several states.
Throughout all the world this
long-delayed extension of suf-
frage is looked for. in the
United States longer, 7 believe,
that anywhere else, the neces-
sity for it, and the immense
advantage of it to the national
life, has been urged and de-.
bated by men and women who
saw the need for il and urged
the policy of it when it -equir-
ed steadfast courage to be so
much beforehand with the
common conviction: and l, for
one, covet for our country the
distinction of being among the
first to act in a great reform.
viii Return Phones and Roads.
The telegraph and telephone
lines will of course, be re-
turned to their owners so soon
as the re-transfer can be eff
fected without administrative
confusion, so soon, that is, as
confusion; so soon, that is, as
least possible Inconvenience to
the public and to the owners
themselves. The railroads will
be handed over to their own
ers at the end of the calendar
year; if l were in immediate
contact with the administra-
tive questions which must gov
ern their transfer, l might be
able to set a more definite date.
Until 1 am in direct contact
with the practical questions
involved, can only suggest
that in the case of the teIe-
graphs and telephones, as in
the case of the railways, it is
clearly desirable in the public
interest that some legislation
should be considered which
may tend to make of these in
dispeusable instrumentalitieS
of our modern life a uniform
and coordinated 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 post
