(Dy Associated Press to Coos Bay,

WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 21.
Prcsldont Tnft Bent anothor of hla
promised scries of mcBanges to Con
gress todny. This tlmo ho dealt with
currency reform, canal tolls and.
various phases of tho Pannmn ques
tion. On tho subject currency ro-
form nnd In connection with tho
forthcoming roport to congress of tho
monetary commission, Prosldont
Tnft said it wna exceedingly fortu
nnto thnt tho "wIbo nnd undisputed
policy of maintaining unchanged tho
main fenturca of our bnnktng aystom. .
rendered it nt onco imposslblo to In
troduce n central bank." Ho gave
his approval to tho proposed nntional.'
rcscrvo association. As to tho man
agement ho said that was work for
bankers. Howover, ho urged somo
form of government supervision nnd
thnt currency reform should not bo
mudo a political Ibbuo. ,
Immediate establishment of rural
parcels post was urged. The Presi
dent took tho position that a par
cols post would not destroy tho busi
ness of tho country storo-kooper but
thnt increased business would fow
low. On tho question of whothor Am
erican shipping should pny tolls In
tho Panama Canal, tho Prosldont'
said, "I am vory confldont tho Unit
ed States baa tho power to roltovo
from payment of tolls any part of our;
shipping thnt rnngross deoms wise.
Wo want control. It Is United Sta
tes money that built It. Wo havo
tho right to charge tolls for Its
uho. Thoso tolls must bo tho samo'
to ovoryono, but whon wo nro deal
ing with our own ahlpa, tho practice
of mnny govornmonta subsldizlnK
tholr own merchant vonsola Is so
woll established In gcnornl that n'
subsidy equal to tho tolls, nn equi
valent remission of tolls, cannot be '
hold discrimination in tho ubooC
the canal.
Among tho Prosldont'a recommen
dations are:
"An lmmcdlnto Incronso of 2,000
mon in tho enlisted strength of tho
navy."
"Abolition of small navy yards."
"A contrlbutary ponslon ayatom
for government omploycs."
"Elimination of all local offlcors
from politics."
"IncronBod appropriation for tho
completion of river nnd harbor Im
provements nlong tho Mississippi,
Ohio and Missouri rivers."
"Power for tho Prosldont to re

"Payment of tho French spoliation

"Thnt umployors' liability and
