mefnod of providing for this would be
to enact that any contract, subject to
the prohibition contained in the anti

to enter hitrht be filed with the Uu

It. is important that we should en

The question of financial legislation

houses that we have a right to expert
action before the close of the sesslor.
It is urgently necessary that ther-3
shoiild be such action. Moreover,
acthm should be taken to establish
postal savings banks. TU.-se postal
savings banks are imperatively need
ed for the benefit of the wageworkers
and men of small means, and will b"
a valuable adjunct to our whole finan
cial system. j
Tarif! Revision.
The time has come when we should,
prepare for a revision of the tariff.
This should be, and indeed must be.
piece. ie, i tiv can.tul investigation. It
is peculiarly the province of tin c n
sross and not of the president, an 1
indeed peculiarly the province of th ;
house of representatives, to origin
ate a tariff bill and to determine upon
its terms: and this I I'uliv reali.e.
Vet it seems to me that before the
ciose of this session provision should
be made for collecting full material
which will enable the congress elect
ed next fall to act Immediately after
it come-; into existence. This would
necessitate some action bv the con
gress at its present session, perhaps
iuthe shape of directing the prope
committee t , gather the necessary In
formation, both through the commit
tee itself and through government
agents who should report to the com
mittee and should lay before it tho
fads which would permit, it to act
with prompt and intelligent fairness
These government bsimi's, if it is n' t
e.-med wise to appoint individuals
from outside the public service, might
with advantage be members of th
'"executive Departments, designate I
by the president, on his ow n motion ir

fact that the-f. water power privileges
are equivalent to many thousands of
acres of the b"st coal hurls for their
production of power. Nor js anv defi

the pilicy st ated in a recent message,
