very great, in order to save the TAXPAYER
inconvenience and expense and in order
10 make his liability more certain and
definite. Other and more detailed reeon,-

OF the treasury and the commissioner OF
Internal revenue.
vocational Training for Veterans.
1T is my privilege to draw to the at
tention of congress for very sympathetic
consideration the problem OF providing
adequate facilities for the care and treat
ment of former members of the military
ana naval forces who are sick or dis
abied as the result Of their participation
In the war. These heroic men can never
be paid In money for the service they
periodically rendered the nation. Their
reward will lie rather in realization of
the fact that they indicated the rights Of
their country and aided in safeguarding
civilization. The nations gratitude must
be effectively revealed to them by the
most ample provision for their medical
care ana treatment as well as for their
vocational training and placement The
time has come when a more complete
program can be formulated and more sat :
isfactorily administered for their treat
ment and training. and ! earnestly urge
that the congress give the matter it's
early consideration. The secretary Of the
treasury and the board for vocational ed
ucation will outline in their annual re-
ports proposals covering medical care and
rehabilitation which | am sure win en-
gage your earnest study and command
your most generous support.
Cold Storage Law Needed.
Permit me to emphasize once more
the need OF action upon certain matters
upon which ] dwell at some length in my
message to the second session OF the
Sixty sixth congress: The necessity. for
example, Of encouraging the n,anufac-
ture Of dyestuffs and related chemicals
the Importance Of doing everything pos
sible to promote agricultural production
along economic lines. to improve agri-
cultural marketing and to make rural life
more attractive and healthful. the need
for a law regulating cold storage to limit
the time during which goods may be kept
in storage, prescribing the method of dis
posing of them If kept beyond the per-
mitted period. and requiring goods re-
leased from storage in all cases to bear
the date of their receipt. 1t would also
be most serviceable II ii were provided
that all goods released from cold storage
for interstate shipment should have
plainly marked upon each package the
selling or market price at which they
went into storage. In order that the pur
chaser might be able to learn what
profits stood between him and the pro,
Queer or the wholesale dealer. Indeed.
II would be very serviceabe TO the public
IL all goods destined for interstate COM
merce were made to carry upon every
packing case whose form made 1t possible,
a plain statement OF the price at which
they left the hands of the producer.
respectfully call your attention also 10
the recommendations of the message re-
ferred to with regard to a federal license
for all corporations engaged in interstate
commerce.
.In brief the immediate legislative
need OF the time is the removal OF all
obstacles to the realization OF the best
ambitions of our people in their several
classes Of employment and the strength
ening Of all instrumentalities by which
difficulties are TO be met and removed
and Justice dealt out whether by law
or by some form of mediation and con-
citation | do not feel II to be my
privilege at present TO suggest the de
tailed and particular methods by which
these objects may be attained. but ]
have faith that the Inquiries of your seH-
.ral committees will discover the way and
method.

In response TO what believe 10 be the
impulse of sympathy and opinion through
