the most skilled expert accountants lu j

Fraud In the Collection of Custom. ' "'"I one repair vessel.
1 regret to refer to the fact of the 1
discovery of extensive frauds lu tho
collection of tho customs revenue, at
New York city. In which a number of
the subordinate employees lu (ho
weighing nnd other departments were
directly concerned and lu which the
beneficiaries weio tlio American Sugar
Itefining company and others. The
frauds consisted In (he payment of du
ty on underweights of sugar. Tho gov
ernment has recovered from the Amer
ican Sugar Helming company nil that
It Is shown to have been defrauded of.
Tho sum was received In full of tho
anion nt due which might have been
recovered by civil nctlon against the
beneficiary of tho fraud, but thcro was ,
an excess reservation In tho contract
of settlement by which tho settlement
Hhould not Interfere with or prevent
tho criminal prosecution of every one
who was found to be subject to tho
same.
Criminal prosecutions nre now pro
ceeding against a number of the gov
ernment olllcers. Tho treasury de
partment nud the department of Jus
tlce nro exerting every effort to dls
cover nil the wrongdoers, Including the
olllcers and employees of the coiupa-
nles who may have been privy to tho
fraud, it would fccui to mo that an
investigation of the frauds by con-
grcss at present, pending tho probing
ly the treasury department and tho
department of Justice, as proposed,
might by fivlug Immunity nnd other
wlso prove nn embarrassment lu se
curing con ictlou ot tho guilty parties.
Maximum and Minimum Clause In
Tariff Act.
Two feiturc3 of tho new tnriff uct
call for ipcelal reference. In order
that the maximum duty shall be charg
ed against the Imports from n country
it Is necessary that tho executive shall
find on tho part of that country not
only discriminations In Its laws or the
practice under them ngulnst the trade,
of the United States, but thai the dis
criminations found shall bo undue
that Is, without good nnd fair reason.
No ono Is seeking n tariff war or a con
dition In which tliu spirit of retaliation
shall be aroused.
Tariff Readjustment.
The now tnriff law enables me to ap
point n tariff board to assist ino In eon-
ncctlon with the department of stato In ( delay, In which case n speedy hearing

War Department.
In tho Interest of Immediate econ
omy I hnvo required a reduction In
tuo estimates of tho war department
for tbo comlotf fiscal year which
brings the total estimates down to an
amount forty-tiro millions less than
tlio corresponding estimates for InM
yenr This could he ucuunpllshcd only
liy cutting off new projei ts and sus
pending for the period of one year nil
progress In military matters. IVr the
same reason I have directed that the
army shall not he recruited up to Its
precnt authorised strength. These
measures can hardly he more t lj.it u
tcmpornry, for 1 am sure that the In
terests of the nillltnry establishment
are seriously In netd of careful con
sldernilon by congress.
The secretary of war calls attention
to a number of needed changes In the
army, in all of which I concur, hut the
I point upon which I place most edi
accoieraieu ny ine oiiecmc eiimmaiiou
of 11 """'I'" proportion of the least
elllclent.
The military nnd naval Joint board
have unanimously agreed that It would
be unwise to make the large expendi
tures which nt one time were contem
plated In the establishment of a naval
base and station lu the Philippine Is
llonal prestige.
It Is a regrettable fact that the
higher olllcers are old for the respon
stlllHIe.s of the modern navy, and the
admirals do not nrrlvc at Hag rank
young enough to obtain adequate train
ing lu their duties us Hag olllcers.
Owing to the necessity for economy
lu expenditures, 1 have directed the
curtailment of recommendations for
1110 Mvroiary u me nay lias Innu
gunited ii tentative plan Involving cer
tain changes lu the organization of tho
navy department. Including the navy
yards all of which have been found
bv the a.loruev general to be lu ae-
by the atloruey general to be lu ne-
cordance with law. I have approved
the execution of the plan proposed be
cause of the greater clllclency nnd
economy It promises.
Department of Justice Expedition In
Legal Procedure.
The deplorable delays in tlio ndinlu
Istr.ition of civil and criminal law have
received the attention of committees of
the American liar association nnd of
many state bar associations iih well us
(ho, coimldcrod thought of Judges nnd
Jurists. In my Judgment, a change in
public procedure, with a view to re
ducing lis expense to private litigants
In civil cases and facilitating (he dis
patch of business and llnal decision In
both civil and ' rliiilinil cases, consti
tutes tho greatest need in our Ameri
can liistlluilons. I do not doubt fur
one moment that much of tho lawless
violence anil cruelty exhibited lu lynch
lugs are directly due to the uncertain-
tics and Injustice growing out of the
delays lu trials. Judgments and the exc-
cutlous thereof by our courts,
I therefore recommend legislation
providing for tin- appointment by the
president of a commission with author-
Ity to examine the law and equity
procedure of Ihe federal courts of tlrst
Instance, the law of appeals from
thoso courts to the courts of appeals
nnd to Ihe Mipre:ie court and the costs
Imposed lu such procedure upon the
private litigants and upon the public
treasury and make recommendation
with a view to simplifying nnd ex
pediting the procedure as far ns pos
sible and making It as Inexpensive us
may be to the litigant of little menus.
The platform of the successful party
in tho last election contained the following-Injunctions
Without Notice.
"Wo believe that the rules of proce
dure in the federal courts with respect
to tho Issuance of the writ of Injunc
tion should be more accurately dellued
by statute nud that no Injunction or
temporary restraining order should be
Issued without notice, except where
Irreparable Injury would result from
such Injunction or restraining order
Issued without previous notice nud op.
IKirtunlty by the defendant to be henrd
should by force of the stntuto expire
and bo of no effect nftor seven dnys
from tho Issu.mco thereof or within
any time less than that period which
the court may tlx unless within such
seven dnys or such less period tho In
junction or order Is extended or re
newed nfter previous notice nnd op
portunity to bo heard.
Anti-trust and Interstate Commerce
Laws.
The Jurisdiction or tlio general gov
ernment over Interstate commerce has
"- Vmw of ho so called
."Sherman nntl-trust nw" and the "In-
Sherman nntl-trust Inw" and the "In
tcrstnte commerce Inw" nnd Its
amendments. The developments In the
i operation of those laws call for n dis
cussion and some suggestions ns to
nmeiulinentn. These I prefer to cm
body In a special message.
Postoffice Department 8eond Class
Mall Matter.
The deficit every yenr In the post
office department Is largely caused by
the low rnte of postage of 1 cent n
pound charged on second class mall
matter, which liu hides not only news
papers, but magnr.liies and miccb.i
neous periodicals. Tlienclu.il loss grow
ing out of the triiiiNiiiKiou of this
second class mail mailer at 1 cent a
pound amounts to nUuit Ji.ixhuxm u
year. The average cost of ihe trans
portal Ion of this matter Is more than
I) cents a pound. The si a I In Us of I.mi;
show that second class mall matter
constituted ii.Mll per cent of the
weight of all the mall and yielded
only fi.10 per cent of the revenue.
The figures given are startling and
show the payment by the government
of an enormous subsidy to the news
papers, magazines and periodicals. .
great saving might bo made, amount
lug to much more than half of the loss,
by Imposing upon magazines and peri
odicals a higher rate of postage.
Postal Savings Ranks.
I believe postal savings banks to be
necessary In order to offer n proper
Inducement to thrift and saving to u
great many people of small means who
do not now have banking facilities and
to whom such it system would offer an
opportunity for the accumulation of
: capital. They w ill furnish a satisfactory
substitute, based on sound principle
' nnd actual successful trial lu nearly
i all the countries of tho world, for the
! system of government guaranty of
j deposits now being adopted In several
western states which, with deference
I to thoso who advocate It, seems to mo
to nave in it tno seeds or iicmomiixu
tlou to conservative banking nnd cer
tain llnancliil dlater.
Ship Subsidy.
Following the course of my distin
guished predecessor, I earnestly ree- i
oniineud to congress the consideration
and passage of n ship subsidy bill.

tion In lis national platform declared

Alaska.
Willi respect to the territory of Ai.i
ka, I recommend legislation winch
shall provide for the appointment by
the president of a governor and ais i
of au executive count II, Ihe members
of which shall during their term el
olllce reside lu the territory and v. h.ih

Conservation of Natural Resource.
In several ucpnilmcnts I here h- pre
setiled the necessity for legislation
looking to the further conservation of
our national resources, nud the sub
ject Is one of such Importance as to
require a more detailed and extended
discussion than can be entered upon
lu this communication. I'or that ron
ton I shall take an early opportunity
to send a special uiessago to congress.
The White Slave Trade.
There Is urgent necessity for addi
tional legislation and greater executive
activity to suppress the recruiting ot
the ranks of prostitutes from tho
streams of immigration into this coun
try an evil which, for want of a bet
ter name, has been called "tho while
slave trnde."
Bureau of Health.
There seems to be no reason why nil
the bureaus nud olllces In the general
government which have to do with
tho public health or biibjects akin
thereto should not bo united In n bu
reau to be called the "bureau of pub
He health."
Political Contributions.
I urgently recommend to congress
that a Inw be passed requiring that
candidates lu elections of members of
the house of representatives and com
mittees lu charge of their candidacy
and campaign tile lu a proper olllce or
tho United States government a state
ment of the contributions received and
of the expenditures Incurred In the
campaign for such elections und that
similar legislation be enacted lu re
spect to all other elections which nre
constitutionally within t tic control ot
congress.
Conclusion.
Speaking generally, the country Is
lu u high state of prosperity. There is
every reason to believe that we are on
the eve of a substantial business ex
pansion, and we hne Just garnered u
harvest unexampled lu the market val
ue of our agricultural products. The
high prices which such products bring
mean great prosperity for the farming
community! but, on the other hand,
they mean a very considerably Increas
ed burden upon those classes In the
community whose yearly compensation
does not expand with the Improvement
In business and the general prosperity.
Various reasons are given for the high
prices. The proportionate Increase in
tho output of gold, which today Is the
chief medium of exchange und Is lu
some respects n measure of value, fur
nishes a substantial explanation of ut
least part of the Increase In prices.
The Increase lu population nud the
more expensive mode of living of the
people, which have not been nccoiu
pnnlcd by a proportionate Increase lu
acreage production, may furnish a fur
(her reason. It Is well to note that the
Increase In the cost of living Is not
confined to this country, but prevails
the world over, nnd thnt those who
would charge Increases In prices to the
existing protective tariff must meet
the fact thnt the rise In prices has
tnken place nlinost wholly In those
products of the factory nnd firm In
respect to which there hns bs?n either
no Increase In the tariff or In ninn1'
Instances n very considerable W
tlon.
