Washington, Doc. 3. Prosident
Rooeovelt's annual address to congroes
was read in both Iioubos yestorday.
Following is a synopsis of tho docu
ment: To tho Bonato and liouso of roprosonta
lives: We still continue in a period of tin
.bounded prosjwrity. This prosperity
la not tho creature of law, but un
doubtedly tho laws under which uo work
liavo beon instrumental in creating the
conditions which mndo it possiblo, and
by unwise leglnlatlon-lt -would-bo easy
enough to destroy it. Thore will un
doubtedly , bo poriods of dopreBeion.
Tho wave will recede, but tho tldo will
advance This nation is eeated on a
continent Dunked by two great oceans.
It is composed of men tho descendants
of pioneers, or, in a boiibo, pioneers
themeolvea; of men winnowed out
from among tho nations of tho old
world by tho onergy, boldness and lovo
of adventure found in thoir own eager
heurtB. Such a nation, so placed, will
surely wiest succees from fortune.
In my message to tho present con
gress ut its first session I discusosd at
length the question of the regulation of
thoso big corporations which ure popu
larly known us trusts.
Our aim is not to do away with cor
porations; on tho, contrury, thote big
aggregations are an inevitablo devel
opment of modorn industrialism, and
the effort to destroy them would bo
futile unless accomplished in ways that
would work tho utmost mischief to the
ontire body politic.
I believo that monopolies, unjust
disci iminntions, which provent or crip
plo competition, fraudulent overcapi
talizution, and other evils in triiBt or
ganizations and practices which inlur
iously affect interstate trade, can bo
prevented under tho power of congress
to "regulate commerce with forolgn na
tions and among tho several statB."
If it provo impouhiblu to enact a law
that will regulato those corporations,
then, utsuredly, wo should not shrink
from amending tho constitution bo uh
to Bocuro beyond perudventuio tho pow
er sought.
Stability of economic policy must al
ways bo tho prime economic noed of
this country. This stability should
not be foBsilization. Tho country has
acquiesced in the wisdom of tho pro
tective tariff principle. It is exceed
ingly undesirable that this system
should bo deetroyed or tliut there
should be violent and radical change
therein. Our past experience shows
that great prosperity in this country
has always come under n protective
tariff; and that the country cannot
prosper under fitful tariff changes at
short intervals. It is moi t earnestly
to bo wished that we could treat the
tariff from tho itandpolnt eolely of our
business needs. The well being of the
wage earner, like tho well being of the
tiller of the t-oil, should be treated as
an eetential in shaping our whole
economic policy. There tnufct never be
any change which will jeopardize the
standard of comfort, tho standard of
wages of the American Vtagenorker,
One way in which tho readjustment
eought can be reached is by reciprocity
treaties. They can be need to widen
our markets and to give a greater field
for tho activities of our producers, on
the one hand, and on the other hand
to secure in practical shapo tho lower
ing of duties when they are no longer
()
&
needed for protection among our own
peoplo or when tho minimum of dam
ago dono may be disregarded for tho
sako of tho maximum of good accomp
lished. It would bo both unwlso and un
nocoeiary at this timo to attompt to
reconstruct our financial system, which
hns been tho growth of a century; but
somo additional legislation is, I think,
desirable. It is suggested that nil
future legislation on tho Biibject should
bo with n view of encouraging tho uso
of such instrumentalities as will auto
matically supply every legitimato de
mand of productive industries and of
commerce, not only in the amount,
but in the character of circulation; and
of making all kinds of money Inter
changeable, and, at tho will of tho
holder, convertible Into tho established
gold standard.
How to socuro fair treatment nliko
for labor and capital, how to hold in
check tho unscrupulous man, whether
employer or employe, without weak
ening individual initiative, without
hnmperlng and cramping tho industrial
dovoiopmvnt of tho country, is a prob
lem fraught with groat difficulties and
ono which is of the highest importance
to solve on lines of sanity and far
sighted common sense as well as de
votion to tho right. Tills is an era of
federation and combination.
Orguulzcd capital and orngnized
labor alike should romembor that in
tho long run tho interest of each muat
bo brought into harmony witli tho in
terest of tho general public; and tho
conduct of onch muBt conform to tho
fundamental rules of obedience to tho
law, of individual freedom and of jus
tice and fair dealing toward all. Each
should temomber that in 'addition to
power it must strive after tho realiza
tion of healthy, lofty and generous
ideals. Every employer, every wage
earnor, must bo guaranteed his liberty
and his right to do as ho likes with his
property or his labor so long as he
does not infringe upon tho rights of
others.
It Ih earnestly hoped that tho secre
tary of commorce may be creatod, with
a seat in tho cabinet. The rapid mul
tiplication of queptlons affecting labor
and capital, the growth and complexity
of tho organizations through which
both labor and capital now find ex
pression, tho stoady tondency townrd
tho employment, ol capital in hugo cor
porations, and thoi wonderful strides
of this. country- uMard lcwdorehlrr,n
tho international business world justify
an urgent demand (or tho creation of
such a position.
I hope soon to submit to tho sonato a
reciprocity treaty witli Cuba. On May
-'0 lust tlio United States kept its prom
Ibo to tho island by formally vacating
Cuban soil and turning Cuba over to
ilioeo whom her own pooplo had chosen
aa tho flrht ofllclals of tho now republic.
Cuba lios at our doors, and whatever
nffoctn her for good or for ill affect us
also. So much have our peoplo felt
this that in tho Piatt amondmont we
definitely took tho ground that Cuba
mu6t hereafter Jiavo cloeor relations
with us than with any other powor.
As civilization grows warfare becomes
Ions uud Jess tho normal condition of
foreign relations. Tho last century has
Beon a mnrkod diminution of wars be
tween civilized powers; wars with un
civilized powors aro iareely mere mat
ters of international police duty, essen
tial for tho welfaro of the world.
Whonever pOBslblo arbitration or somo
similar method should bo employed in
lion of war to fettle difllcutios between
civilized nations, although aa yet tho
world has not progressed sulllcinetly to
render it pofilblo or nocoEBarlly deslra
bio to invoke arbitration in every caeo.
The congress has wlsoly provided
for building at onco an isthmian cannl,
if posHiblo at Panama. Tho attorney
goncrul reports that wo can undoubted
ly acquire good titlo from tho French
Panama canal company. The work
should bo carried out. ns n continuing
policy without regard to chanpo ot ad
ministration; and it should do begun
under circumstnncea which will make
it a mutter of prido for all administra
tions to continue the policy.
Of Porto Rico it Is only necoBBBry to
say that the prosperity of tho island
and tha wisdom with which it lias been
governed havo been such as to make it
serve us an oxamplo of all that is best
in insular administration.
On July 4 lust peace and nmnoety
uere promulgated in the Philippine
islands. Somo trouble has since from
timo to time threatened with tho Mo
hummedan Moros, hut with tho late
insurrectionary Filipinos the war has
entiroly closed, Civil government baa
now beon introduced. Not only doea
each Filipino enjoy tuch rights of life,
liberty and thu pursuit of happiness aa
he lias never before known during tiie
recorded history of tho islands, hut the
peoplo, taken as a whole, now enjoy a
measure of relf government greater than
that granted to any other Orientals by
uny foroign power, and greater than
that enjoyed by any other Orientals
under their own governments, save
tho Japanese alone. Too much praicu
cannot bo given to tho army for what
it has done in the Philippines, both in
warfaro and from an administrative
standpoint, In preparing the way for
civil government; and similar credit
belonga to the civil authorities or the
way in which they havo planted tho
scodB of self government in tho ground
thus mndo rendy for thorn.
Tho nrmy hns been reduced to tho
minimum allowed by law. It is very
small for tho sizo of tho nation, and
most certainly should be kept at the
highest point of elllciency.
A systom of maneuvering our nrmy
in bodies of some little size Iiiib been
begun nnd should bo stendily continued.
Without such maneuvers it is folly to
oxpect that in tho event of hontillties
witli any serious foe ovon n small nrmy
corjis could bo handled with advantage.
Our ofllcors and enlisted mon nro
such that wo can heartily take prido in
them, but they munt be thoroughly
trained, both as individuals and in tho
mass. In the circumstance? of modorn
warfaro tho man must act far morn on
lils own Individual responsibility than
ovor before, and tho high individual
efficiency of the unit is of tho utmost
importance.
I urgently call your attention to tho
need of passing a bill providing for a
tieneral staff and ior tho reorganization
of tho supply departments on tho linos
of tho bill proposed by tho secretary of
war last year.
For tho first timo in nur history
maneuvers on n lager i-calo aro being
held under tho immedinto command of
tho admiral of the navy. Constantly
increasing nttention ia bolngpnid to the
gunnery of tho navy, but it is yet far
from what it should ho.
Thoro should be no halt in tho work
of building up tho navy, providing
every year additional lighting craft.
Wo have deliberately mndo our own
certain foreign policies which demand
tho poBeoHsion of a first cIubh navy.
Tho isthmian cannl will greatly In
crease tho elllciency of our navy if tho
navy is of sufficient size; but if we havo
nn inadequate navy, then tho building
of tho canal would bo merely giving n
hoatago to any other power of superior
strength. Tho Monroo doctrino Bhould
bo treated ns tho cardinal feature of
American foroign policy; but it would
bo worse than Idle to assert it unices
wo intended to back it up, and it can
lo backed up only by a thoroughly good
navy.
Tho striking increaBo in tho rovenuos
of tho postofilco department shows
clearly tho prosperity of our peoplo nnd
thu Increasing activityvof tho business
of tho country.
Rural froo delivery servico is no
longor in the experimental stago; it has
bocomo a fixed policy. The results fol
lowing its introduction havo fully justi
fied tho congroEsin tho large appropria
tions mado for its establishment and
extension.- -
Few subjects of greater Import
ance havo been takon up hy tho con
gress in rocent years than tho inaugu
ration of tho system of nationally aided
irrigation for tho arid regions of the
fnr west. A good beginning therein
hns boon made. Now that tills policy
of national irrigation has boeu adopted,
tho need of thorough and scientific for
est protection will grow more rapidly
than over throughout tho public land
stutes.
Legislation should bo prnvidod for
tiio protection of tho game, nnd wild
creatures generally, on tho forest re
serves. Tho sonselosa slaughter of
gnmo should bo stopped at onco. It is,
for instance, a serious count against
our national good senso to permit tho
present practice of butchering off such
a stately and beautiful creature as tho
oik for its antlers or tusks.
So far as thoy are available for agri
culture, and to whatever oxtent thoy
may bo reclaimed under tho national
irrigation jaw, tho romniuing public
lauds should bo held rigidly for thu
homebuilder, tho settler who lives on
Ills laud, and for no ono elsu. In their
actual ubo, tho desort land law, tho
timner and stone law, and thu com
mutation clauBO of I ho homestead law
havo been ho perverted from tho inten
tion with which thoy woro enacted na
to permit tho acquisition of largo arena
of tho public domain for other than
actual settlers and tho consequent pre
vention of settlement. Moreover, the
approaching exhaustion of tho public
ranges has of Into led to much discus
sion ns tn thu best manner of lining
these public landa in tho west which
nro auitnblo chiefly or only for grazing.
In view of tho capital Importance of
theno matters, it might bu well for a
commlEsion of experts to investigate
and report upon the complicated ques
tions involved.
I especially urge upon tho congress
thu need of who legislation for Alusku.
It ia not to our credit ns a nation that
Alaska, which has been ours for .'15
years, t-hould still have aa poor a sys
tem of laws as Is the cuno. It ia u ter
ritory of grent size and varied re
sources, well fitted to eupport u large,
permanent population. Alaska needs
a good land law and such provisions for
homesteads and pre-emptions na will
encourage permanent settlement. We
should shapo legislation with a view
not to thu exploiting and abandoning of
the territory, but to thu building up of
homes therein. Thu forest a should he
protected, and, ns a secondary, hut still
important mutter, tho gume uho. Laws
Bhould bo enacted to protect tho Alas
kan salmon fisheries against tho greed
which would doHtroy them. It would
1m well if a congressional committee
could visit Alaska and investigate its
needs on the ground.
