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
