PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
To the en.'n 'f" , " .'. t llou, e o; nt p- ' a
res ntative
The rela: ,- , f :he I'nited States c
with all t'.; guovex(rnments have
continued upoln e normal basis of r
amity and go ,l undt.rstanding, and .
are very ge; rally .satisfactory.
Pan-A'.erican Policy.
The Pan-American policy of this -
Government has long been fixed in
its ,rinciples an! remains unchang
ed. With the c.'anged circumstances (
of the United States and of the He- I
publics to the south of us, most of I
which have grea: natural resources.
stable governmint and pr,)gressive
ideals, the apprehension which gave
rise to the lotr.tc Doctrine may be
said to have nearly disappeared, and
neither the doetr,ne as it exists nor i
any other doctrine of American pol- t
icy should be permitted to operate t
for the perpetuation of irresponsible 1
government, the escape of just obli
gations, or the insidious allegation
of dominating ambitions on the part ,
of the United States. 1
Nicaragua Situation.
Since the Washington Conventions e
of 1907 were communicated to the I
Government of the United States as
a consulting and advising party, this i
Government has been almost contin- 1
uously called upon by one or anoth
er, and in turn by all of the five Cen- I
tral American Republics. to exert it
self for the maintenance of the Con
ventions. Nearly every complaint 4
has been against the Zelaya Gov
ernment of Nicaragua, which has
kept Central America in constant
tension or turmoil. The responses
made to the representations of Cen
tral American Republic, as due from
the United States on account of its I
relation to the Washington Conven
tions, have been at all times conser
vative and have avoided, so far as
possible, any semblance of interfer
ence, although it is very apparent
that the considerations of geographic
proximity to the Canal Zone and of
the very substantial American inter
ests in Central America give to the
United States a special position in 4
the zone of these Republics and the
Caribbean Sea.
I need not rehearse here the pa
tient efforts of this Government to
promote peace and welfare among
these Republics, efforts which are ful
ly appreciated by the majority of
them who are loyal to their true in
terests. It would be no less unnec
essary to rehearse here the sad tale
of unspeakable berbarities and op
pression alleged to have been com
mitted by the Zolaya Government.
Recently two Americans were put to
death by order of Pre=idler.r Zelaya
himself. They were reported to have
been regularly commissioned officers
in tpe organized forces of a revolu
tion which had continued many
weeks and was proceeding in an or
derly fashion in control of about
half of the Republic,. and as such, ac
cording to the modern enlightened
practice of civilized nations, they
would be entitled to be dealt with as
prisoners of war.
At the date when this message is
printed this government is proceeding
with deliberate circumspection to de
termine the exact truth in relation to
these reports and upon the course in
the premises most consistent wit.h ts
dignity, its duty to American inter
ests and its moral obligations to Cen
tral America and to civilization.
The International Bureau of Amer
ican Republics has carried on an im
portant and increasing work during
the last year. In the exercise of its
peculiar functions as an internation
al agency, maintained by all the
American republics for the develop
ment of Pan-American commerce and
friendship. it has accomplished a
great practical good which could be
done in the same way by no individ
ual department or bureau of one
government, and is therefore deserv
ing of your liberal support. The fact
that it is about to enter a new build
ing, erected through the munificence
of an American philantropist and the
contributions of all the American na
tions, where both its efficiency of ad
ministration and expense of mainten
ance will naturally be much aug
mented, further entitles it to special
consideration.
The Far East.
In the Far East this Government
preserves unchanged its policy of
supporting the principle of equality
of opportunity and scrapulous re
spect for the integrity of the Chinese
Empire, to which policy are pledged
the interested Powers of both East
and West.
Relation With Japs.
Our traditional relations with the
Japanese Empire continue cordial uas
usual. As the representative of Ja
pan. His Imperial Highness Prince
Kunt visited the Hudson-Fulton Cele
bration. The recent visit of a delega
tion of prominent business men as
guests of the chambers of commerce
of the Pacific slope, whose represen
tatives had been so agreebly receiv
ed in Japan. will doubtless contrib
ute to the growing trade across the
Pacific. as well as to that mutual un
derstanding which leads to mutual

The Delpart;cent of State. .
I earnestly recommend to the fa- c
vorable action of the Congress the n
estimates submitted by the Lepart
ment of State and most especially
the legislation sugges:ed in the Sec-1'f
retary of State's letter of this date
whereby it will be poasible to deyel-. a
o3p and make permanent the reorgan
zation of the Department upon mod- s
ern lines in a manner to make it alt
thoroughly efficient instrument in the
furtherance of our foreign t;ad and

Government Expenditures ad'.
Revenues.
Perhaps the mTdf lnmliorlant iqs'
tion presented to this Administration
is that of economy in expenditures
and sufficiency of ,evenue. The defi
cit of the last fiscal year, and the cer
tain deficit of the current year,
prompted Congress to throw a geat
er responsibility on the Executive
and the Secretary of the T.rea.s
than had heretofore been ,decl
by statute.
The report of the Sec eta8r s.oe a
that the ordinary e~inditures'
the current fiscal year ending June
30, 1910, will exceed the estlin~ted,
receipts by $34,075,620. If ttojhlsI
deficit is added the sum to be dil-'
bursed for the Panama Ca .,
amounting to $38.000,000, ad~ 1%¶I
000.000 to be paid on the public
debt. the deficit of ordinary rdevit(lai
and expenditures will be increased to.
a total deficit of $73,j975,6 ThA
deficit the Secretary propoeO to mnet'v1
by the proceeds of bonds issued to
pay the cost of constructing the Pan
ama Canal. I approve this proposal.
The policy of paying for the con
struction of the Panama Canal, not
out of current revenue, but by bond
issues, was adopted in the Spooner,
Act of 1902, and there seems to be
no good reason for departing from
the principle by which a part a least
tIof the burden' of tr'1e't h ca
nal shall fall upon org-epsterty' wiho
are to enjoy it; and there a
-more reason p< 1  
the actual cost' to date 'of the canal,
which is now half done and wah}cli
- will be completed January 1, 1915,
- shows that the cost of engiseeltg"a
Sand construction will be $297,766,
5 000, instead of $139,70k,200,.a g g
inally estimated. In addition tt eh

and government, and the amount

and the privilege of building the ca

Favors Civil Pensions.
t Most of the great industrial eor
-ganizations, and many of the well
conducted railways of this, country,
are coming to the conclusion that a
system of pensiona for old employees,
and the substitution therefor ot
- younger and more energetic servants,
promotes both economy and emclency

and that this has natursllt grown oit
of the heavy burden of military pen

in the operation of those laws, as th.
shown by indictments, trials, judicial di1

formation, call for a discussion and In;
some suggestions as to amendments. th
These I prefer to embody in a spe- co
cial message instead of including a
them in the present communication. W
and I shall avail myself of the first be
convenient opportunity to bring these pe
subjects to the attention of Congress. so
Second-Class Mail Matter. !ac
The deficit every year in the Post- b)
Office Department is largely caused to
by the low rate of postage of 1 cent m
a pound charged on second-class mail of
matter, which includes not only news- bl
papers but magazines and miscellan-' th
eous periodicals. The actual loss ti4
growing out of the transmission of:
this second-class mail matter at 1;
cent a pound amounts to about $63.- et
000,000 a year. The average cost of tb
the transportation of this matter is gi
more than 9 cents a pound. Is
A great saving might , be made, l
amounting to much more than half of, i
the loss, by imposing upon maga- i,
zines and periodicals a higher rate in
of postage. They are much heavier S,
than newspapers, and contain a much' in
higher proportion of advertising to
reading matter, and the average dis- 01
tance of their transportation is three ti
and a half times as great. L h
I commend the whole subject to ic
Congress, not unmindful of the ti
spread of intelligence which a low
charge for carrying newspapers and ai
periodicals assists. I very much! a
doubt, however, the wisdom of aicc
policy which constitutes so large a p
subsidy and requires additional taxa- ol
tion to meet it. p
Postal Savings Banks.
The second subject worthy of men- n
tion in the Post-Office Department :
is the real necessity and entire prac- as
ticability of establishing postal saving ai
banks. s
Ship Subsidy.
Following the course of my distin
guished predecessor, I earnestly re
I commend to Congress the considera-, p
tion and passage of a ship subsidy p'
bill, looking to the establishment of
lines between our Atlantic seaboard e
and the eastern coast of South Amert- g
ca, as well as lines from the west 81
coast of the United States to South' r
IpAmerica, China, Japan, and the Phil- e'
a, ippines. h
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
New Mexico and Arizona. I
The successful party in the last'
election in its nationdl platform de-'
' clared in favor of the admission as '
separate States of New Mexico and b
Arizona, and I recommend that leg- it
islation appropriate to this end be
adopted.
Alaska.
With respect to the Territory of a
Alaska, I recommend legislation g
- which shall provide for the appoint-:
ment by the President of a governor i
and also of an executive council, the
members of which shall during their 5
term of offce reside in the Territory,
and which shall have legislative
powers sufficient to enable it to give
to the Territory local laws adapted to'
its present growth. I strongly depre- -
cate legislation looking to the elec- r
tion of a territorial legislature in that
vast district.
Conservation of National Resources.
In several Departments there is,
presented the necessity for legisla
tion looking to the further conserva
tion of our national resources, and I
the subject is one of such import
ance as to require a more detailed j
and extended discussion than can be
entered upon in this communication. t
yFor that reason I shall take an early
opportunity to send a special message,
to Congress on the subject of the
I improvement of our waterways, upon
the reclamation and irrigation of
h arid, semiarid, and swamp lands; up
on the preservation of our forests
Sand the reforesting of suitable areas;
upon the reclassification of the pub
lic domain with view of separating
from agricultural settlement mineral,

SDepartment of Agricutire. I
.o I commend to your cereful const
deration the report of the Secretaryl
Sof Agriculture as showing the im
Smense sphere of usefulness which
that Department now fills and the
wonderful addition to the wealth of
.the nation made by the farmers of
country in the crops of the current
year.
Consolidation of Bureaus. 1
. I request Congressional authority'
In to enable the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor to unite the Bureaus of
Manufactures and Statistics. This
te s recommended by a competent
p- committee appointed in the previous
administration for the purpose of
" suggesting changes in the interest of

i quested by the Secretary.

cutive activity to suppress the recruit

the streams of immigration into this
country-an evil which, for want of
a better name, has been called "The

be constitutional to forbid, under
penalty, the transportation of per
sons for purposes of prostitution
across national and state lines; and so:
by appropriating a fund of $50,0C9 ov
to be used by the Secretary of Com- tl
meree and Labor for the employment Mt

ble to bring those responsible for th

Iemicentennial of Negro Freedom. th
The year 1913 will mark the floi- o
eth anniversary of the issuance of CO
the Emancipation Proclamation an
granting freedom to the negroe,. It
stems fitting that this event should
bb prqperly celebrated. Already . a
movement has been started by prom
inent negroes, encouraged by prom
inent white people and the press. he wl
South especially is manifesting its ta
interest in this movement. ta
. It is suggested that a proper form g
of celebration would be an exposi- W
tion to show the progress the negroes bo
have made, not only during their per- be
liod of freedom, but also from the pi
time of their coming to this country. or
I heartily indorse this proposal,
and request that the Executive be P1
authorize I to appoint a preliminary
L commission of not more than seven -a
persons to consider carefully whether wi
or not it is wise to hold such an ex- ar
position, and if so, to outline a plan ca
for the enterprise. I further recom- th
mend that such preliminary com
mission serve without salary, except ad
I as to their actual expenses, and that re
an appropriation be made to meet b
such expenses. m
Conclusion. or
I have thus. in a message com- of
pressed as much as the sutiects will ta
permit, referred to many of the legis- te
lative needs of the country, with the li
exceptions already noted. Speaking
generally, the country is in a high
state of prosperity. There is every
reason to believe that we are on the
eve of a substantial business expan
sion, and we have just garnered a p'
harvest unexampled in the market
value of our agricultural products. hý
The high prices which such products ft
bring mean great prosperity for the 01
farming community, but on the other ti
hand they mean a very considerably Ir
increase burden upon those classes in o0
B the community whose yearly compen- l11
sation does not expand with the im- a
provement in business and the gener- F
fal prosperity. Various reasons are ci
given for the high prices. The pro- b,
_ portionate increase in the output of
r gold, which to-day is the chief med- f'
ium of exchange and is in some res. u
pects ". measure of value, furnishes a
substantial explanation of at least
'part of the increase in prices. The
increase in population and the more
. expensive mode of living of the peo
ple, which have not been accom
panied by a proportionate increase in
acreage production, may furnish a
further 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. and that
' those who would charge increases in
d prices to the existing protective tar
if must meet the fact that the rise
d in prices has taken place almost
N, wholly in these products of the fac
i tory and farm in respect to which C
y there has been either no increase in
':he tariff or in many instances a very
econsiderable reduction.
