To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: 1 In my message to Congress of March 25, 1U8, I outlined certain measures which I believe the major ity of our countrymen desire to have enacted Into law at this' time. These measures do not represent by any means al) that I would like to see done if 1 thought It possible but they do represent what I believe can now be done if an earnest effort toward this end Is made. Since I wrote this message an em ployer's liability law has been enact ed, which, It is true, comes short of what ought to have been done but which does represent a great advance. Apparently there Is good ground to hope that there will be further leg islation providing for recompensing all employes who suffer Injury while engaged In the public service; that there will be a child labor law enact ed for the District of Columbia; that tho water ways commission will be contluued with sufficient financial support to Increase tho effect lvenesB of 11b preparatory work; that stops will be taken to provide tor such in vestigations Into tnrll'f conditions by the appropriate committee of the House of Representatives and by gov- CIRCUS DAY AT EUGENE SATURDAY, MAY 2ND PERFORMANCE AT 2 AND 8 P.

Forest reserves should be established throughout the Appalach ian mountain region wherever It can be shown that they will have a di rect and real connection with the con servation and Improvement of nav lgablo rivers. There seems, however, much doubt about some of the measures I have recommended: The measure to do away with the use of the power of in junction and the measure or group of measures to strengthen and render both more efficient and more wise the control by the national govern ment over the great corporations do ing interstate business as to the pow er of Injunction and punishment for contempt. In contempt cases, save where immediate action Is Imperative, trial should be before another Judge. As regards injunctions some such leg islation aH that I have previously rec ommended should be enactea. Tney are those, who fail to realize the ex treme bitterness caused among large bodies of worthy citizens hy the use that has been repeatedly made of the power of the Injunction in labor dis putes. Those in whose Judgment we have most right to trust are of the opinion that while most of the com plaint against the use of the injunc tion Is unwarranted, yet that It is un questionably true that in a number of cases this power has been used to the grave Injury of the rights of lab oring men. I ask that it be limited in some such Way as that I have al ready pointed out In my previous messagOs for the very reason that I do not wish to see an embittered ef fort, ni ado to destroy It. It Is unwise stubbornly, to refuse to provide ngnlnst a repltltion of the abuses which have caused tho present tin rest. In a democracy like ours It Is Idle to expect permanently to thwart the determination of tho great hotly of our citizens. It may be and often Is' the duty of a court, a legislature, or an executive to resist and defy a gust ' of popular passion; and most certainly n: public servant, whatever may be the consequences to himself, should yield to what he thinks wrong. But in a question which is emphatic ally One of public policy which the public demand is sure to be adopted in the end and a persistent refusal to grant to large portion of our people what Is right is only too apparent in the end to result In causing much Ir ritation that when the right Is ob tained. It Is obtained in a movement so ill-considered and violent as to be accompanied by much thnt is wrong. The process of Injunction In labor troubles, as well as where state laws are Involved, should bo used sparing ly and only when there Is tho clear est necessity for It, but It Is one so necessary to the efficient perform ance of the duty of the court In be half of the Nation that it is in the highest degree to be regretted that It is liable to reckless use; for this reck less use tends to make honest men to desire to so hamper Its execution as to destroy its usefulness. When, with steam and electricity, lmuhu-n business conditions went through the astounding revolution which In this country be-all over half a century ago there was at first much hesitation as to what partic ular governmental agency should be used to grapple with the new condi tions. At almost the same time, about twenty years since, the effort was made to control combinations by regulating them through the Inter state Commerce Commission and to abolish them by means of the anti trust act, the two remedies therefore being In part mutually Incompatible. The Interstate commerce law has produced admirable results, especially since It was strengthened by the Hep burn tow twoy ears ago. The anti trust law worked some good tie cause It Is better than anarchy, or ab sence of complete regulation, never theless has proved, in many respects, not merely Inadequate but misrhev lous. Twenty years ago, the misuse of corporate power had produced al most every conceivnble form of abuse and had worked the gravest Injury to business morality and the public conscience.

Tower should unquestionably pe lodged somewhere in the executive branch of government, to prevent combinations which will further I1' public Interest, but It must alwaw be remembered that ,is regards the great wealthv combinations throuch j hich most of the Interstate business j of the country Is done, the burden of (mo. Miouiil u;1 on I.leut to s:iov power. My personal belief Is, that ultimately we shall have to adopt a National 'incorporation law, though I am well aware that this may be im nossible at iireieut. Over the ac tions of the executive body tile power , is ulaced and the courts should pos-1 sess merely a power of review, ana logous to that obtaining in connec tion with the work of the Interstate Commerce Commission at present. To secure this would not be a Jenp In th dark; it would be merely to carry stjl) furfur ;)e theory of effective goteruniem control of corporations j which was r;iiot.ei)ile for the crea-. nt th imerintf Commerce I Commission, and for the nnlrge ment of its powers and for the cre ation of the Bureau of Corporations. The Interstate Commerce legislation has worked admirably. It has bene- ' fitted the public; it has benefitted honestly managed and economically Conducted railroads and In view of the fact that the country's business has enormously Increased this legis lation has shown, by the way It en abled the Federal Government to cor rect the moBt pronounced of th great and varied abuses which pxIbi ed in the business world for twenty years but the many abuses that still remain emphasize tho need of further and more thoroughgoing legislation. The Bureau of Corporations has amply JuBtlfled Its creation. In oth er words, It is clear that the prin ciples employed to remedy the great evils In the business world Wnvo w,i!red well, and they cn Wow lie employtJ to correct the evils 'that further commercial grow-rh has brought more prominently tn the sur face. The powers and scope of the Interstate Commerce Commission and of any similar body, such as the Bur eau of Corporations, which has to deal with the matter In hand, should be greatly enlarged, so as to meet the requirements of the present day. There should be an efficient exe cutive body clothed with power enough to correct abuses and able to work out the complex problems that this great country has developed. It Is not sufficient objection to say that such a body may be guilty of un wisdom or abuses. Any governmment al body, whether a court or a com mission, whether executive, legisla tive or Judicial, if given power enough to enable It to do effective work for good, must also Inevitably receive enough power to make it pos sibly effective for evil. Therefore, it is clear, that (unless a National Incorporation law can be enacted) that body or bodies in the executive service should be given power to pass upon any combination or agree ment in relation to interstate com merce and every such combination and agreement not thus approved should be treated as in violation of law and prosecuted accordingly Thej Issuance of the security of any com- i binution In interstate business should f be under the supervision of the Nat-j ional Government. A strong effort has been made to have labor organl-1 zatlons completely exempted from any of the operations of the law, whether or not their acts are In re-1 straint of trade. Such exception : would make the bill unconstitutional and congress has no more right to ' pass a bill without regard to whether,1 it Is constitutional than the courts i have a right to declare unconstltut- ready ratified. The responsibility Is as great on the one side as on the other and abuse of power by the leg islature in one direction is equally to be condemned with an abuse of power by the courts in the other di rection. It Is not possible wholly to except labor organizations from the workings of this law and they who insist upon totally excepting them are merely providing that their stat us shall be kept wholly unchanged and that they shall continue to be exposed to the action which they now dread. Obviously an organization not formed for profit should not be required to furnish statistics In any way as complete as those furrrished by organizations for profit. .More over, so far as labor is engaged in protection only, it claims to be ex empted from the anti-trust law, are sound. This would substantially cov er the rights of laborers to combine, to strike peaceably and to enter into trade agreements with the employers. Hut we should sanction neither a boycott nor a blacklist, which would be illegal at common law. The measures I advocate are in the interest of b ilh decent corpora tions and law-abiding unions. They are, moreover, pre-eminently in the Interest of the public, for in my judg ment the American public have defi nitely made up their minds that the day of the reign o.f the great labor defying corporation Is over, and that from this time on the mighty combi nations of capital necessary for the transaction of business undor modern conditions, while encouraged so Ions as they art honestly and in the Inter est of the general public, are to be subjected to careful supervision and regulation of a kind so effective as to Insure their acting in the Interest of the people as a whole. Allegations are often made to the I effect that there is no great need of! laws looking to the more effective control of the great corporations on the ground that they will do their I work well without such control I i can your attention to the acnnipany- ... report lust sn in. tt.wl ' You Will Need an Oil Sfe " coot . lr.. - X.
