Views on the A r m y and tha Navy. Washington. Dec. 8.—In bis message t«i congress, ivml to the tw o bouses, tin* president said: The financial standing o f the nation at the present time 1» c.tcdlent, and the financial management o f the na tion’s Interests b.v the government dur ing the last seven years has shown the most satisfactory results. ltut our currency system Is Imperfect, nnd it I k earnestly to he hoped that the cur rency commission w ill l>o able to pro- I«)se a thoroughly K> hk 1 system which will do away with the existing defects. During the period from July 1. 1901, to Sept. 30. 10(8. there has been a net surplus o f netu ly one hundred millions -of receipts over ex|>endituros, a reduc tion o f the h: crest hearing debt tiy ninety million.-, in spite o f the extraor dinary expense o f the Panama canal and a saving o f nearly nine millions , *u the annual Interest charge. TbU Is a n exceedingly satisfactory showing. T h ere has been a reduction o f taxa tion. Corporations. As regards tin* great corporations en gaged; in Interstate business, and espe cially ilho railroads, 1 can only repeat what T have already again und again said tn my messages to the congress. I befit*** that under the Interstate clause o f the constitution the United Stales hat: complete and paramount right to control all agencies of Inter state commerce, and I believe that the natbuinl government alone can exer cise this right with wisdom and e f fectiveness so us lH»th to secure Justice from nnd to do Justice to the great corporations which are the most im portant factors In modem business. I believe that It is worse than folly to nttempt to prohibit all combinations, as is d«aie by the Sherman nuti-trust law, bemuse such a law can bo en forced only Imperfectly and unequal ly, nnd Its enforcement works nluiost na much hardship ns good. I strongly advocate that Instead o f an unwise effort to prohibit nil combinations there shall ho substituted a law which shall expressly |w*rmlt combinations which arc in the Interest o f the public, but shall at the same time give to some agency of the national government full power of control nnd supervision over them. One of the chief features of this control should t>e securing entire publicity In all mnttors which the pub lic has a right to know and. further more, the power, not by Judicial, but by executive, action to prevent or put a stop to every form o f Improper fa voritism or other wrongdoing. The railways o f the country should he put completely under the Interstate commerce— rommlH*doU- . a ini«- ttUUa'A’d from tin- domain o f the anti-trust law. The power o f the commission should Is* made thoroughgoing, so that It could exercise complete supervision and coutrol over the issue o f securities as well ns over the raising and lower ing o f rates. As regards rates, at least this [mwer should he summary. P o w er to make combinations nnd traffic agreements should be explicitly con ferred upon the railroads, the permis sion o f the commission being first gained and the combination or agree ment l>oing published In all its de tails. The Interests o f the sharehold ers. o f the employees and o f the ship pers should all be guarded as against one another. To give nny one o f them undue nnd Improper consideration Is to do injustice to the others. Rates must he made as low ns ts compatible with giving proi»er returns to all the employees o f the railroad, from the highest to the lowest, and proper re turns to the shareholders, hut they must not. for instance, be reduced In such fashion as to necessitate a cut In the wages o f the employees or the nlsditlon o f the proper and legitimate profits o f honest shareholders. Telegraph and telephone companies engaged In interstate business should be put under the Jurisdiction o f the In terstate commerce commission. Ample Rewards For Intelligence. II Is to the interest o f all o f us that there should be a premium put upon individual Initiative and Individual ca pacity and an ample reward for the great directing Intelligences alone com petent to manage the great business operations o f today. It Is well to keep In mind that exactly as the anarchist j Is the worst enemy o f liberty and the reactionary the wor-i enemy < f order so the men who defend the rights o f prniHMty have tnort t ■ fear from the wrongdoers o f great wealth, and the men who are champlonln; popular rights have ::i st to fear ‘ rnn th<* tl i " rues w ’.i i in t ’ s<* ::.i r p p i- la:* ri htn would do wrong to and op- pro:-. |( ni si buslne s men, b nest men i*f wealth, for the success o f either typo o f wrom door necessarily invites n violent reaction against the cause the wrongdoer nominally upholds. The opposition to government con trol o f those great corporations makes Its most effective effort in the shnpe o f an appeal to the old doctrine o f states’ rights. The proposal to make the national government supreme over, and there fore to give It complete control over, the railroads nnd other Instruments o f Interstate commerce Is merely a pro posal to carry out to the letter one o f the prime purposes, If not the prime purpose, for which the constitution was founded. It does not represent centralization. I believe that the more farsighted corporations arc themselves coming to recognize the unwisdom of the violent hostility they have displayed during the last fe w years to regulation and control by the national government of combinations engaged In Interstate busi ness. Labor. There nre many matters affecting la bor nnd the status o f the wageworker to which I should like to draw your attention. As far ns possible I hope to see a frank recognition o f the ad vantages conferred by machinery, or ganization and division o f labor, ac companied by an efTort to hritig about a larger share In the ownership by wageworker o f railway, mill and fac tory. In farming this simply means that we wish to see the farm er own his own land. W e do not wish to see the (C ontinued on supplement.) S H O E S A perfect foot needs a perfect shoe.
