PRESIDENT TAFT'S FIRST MES
SAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF
THE U. S. SUGAR FRAUDS.
(Oalla4 from trst pags.)
Treasury Surplus.
"8a far as the secretary of the treas
ury 1 abls to form a judgment as to
future Income and com par o It vrltb the
eiBdltures for tho next lineal year
ending June no, lull, and excluding
payment on account of the Panama
canal, which will doubtless ho taken

,15,031,000."
"Bo far ns the secretary of the
treasury I ablo to form n judgment ax

the expenditure for the next lineal year
ending June 30, lull, Including tho pay
ment on account of tho I'anama canal
and the public debt,, there will bo no

but "a Mtiiull surplus of $712,000.
"In tho prevent estimates tho need

ment have '.ooti cut to tho ijuick no to
speak and any assumption by congress,
no often mnilo in time punt, that citl
mates have been prepared with tho ex
pectation that they may be reduced,
will result In seriously lmmperln) prop
er administration."
Sugar Trust Fraud.
Mr. Taft refer. with regret to the
sugar fraud recently discovered, say
Ing that the statcmout made with the
aocalled trust will not interforo with,
or provent, the crimlnul prosecution of
every one who was found to bo sub
Ject to tho same, lie bclioves that an
investigation of tho fraud by cougrcsa
at present would be Inadvisable, saying
it might give immunity and othorwiso
prove an embarrassment in securing
conviction of tho guilty parties.
President Taft then discusses the
tariff and tho operation of tho mail-,
mum and minimum clausu in tho net.
He say that in the working of this,
fear ha been expressed that the
power conferred and duty Imposed on
the executive is JJkoly to lead to a
tariff war. "I beg to expross tho hope1
and beliof that no such result nred be
anticipated," Mr. Taft says. "No one
Is seeking a tariff of ruUllntinu shall
be aroused."
Tariff Board.
The new tariff board 1 discussed,
the president saying that its work will
perhaps take two or three years. A
continuing annual appropriation is
asked.
. He thinks the board can gather
valuable data for uso "when tho people
shall deem it wise to again adjust tho
customs duties.
"If the facta secured by tho tariff
board are of such a character as to
show generally that tho rates of duties
imposed by the present tariff law are to bo enjoined are urged by the presl
excessive under the principles of pro- dont with certain exceptions. Presidenv
t'eetlon, as described in tho platform of
the successful party at the lato elee
tion, I shall not hesitate to Invite the
attention of congress to this fact and
to the necessity for action predicated
thereon," ho says. "Nothing, however,
halts business and interferes with the
course of prosperity so much aa the
threatened revision of the tariff and

until the facta are at hand, after care
ful and deliberate investigation, upon
which such revision can bo properly
undertaken, It seems to me unwise to
attempt it. Tho amount of misinform
ation that creep Into argument pro
and con in regard to tariff rates is
such as to require the kind of Invent I-
gatlon undertaken by it wholly without
resicct to tho effect which tho facts
may have iu calling for a readjustment
of tho duty."
Military Seductions.
A reduction in the estimate of the
war department for the coming fiscal
year which brings the total estimates
down to an amount 45 millions less
than tho corresponding entlmatos for
Inst yenr, I mentioned by tho nresi-
dent, all progress In military matters it, seems to me to havo in it tho seeds

The Navy Pearl Harbor.
The president concurs in tho Judg
ment of tho military and naval joiit
board iu favor of making au extonsi.'o
naval base at I'earl harbor, near Horn
lulu, and not In the Philippine.
The president then discussed the
uavy, the need for reform, economy iu
expenditures, otc. He say! "A com-
prohensivo plan for tho reorganization
of the ofiieers of all corps of the navy
will be presontod to congress and I
Iioih 'I wilt meet with action suited
to it urgency."
Appointment of the eminent nitron
inner a head of tho naval observatory
is recommended.
To Simplify the Courts
President Taft say that in hi judg
ment a chango of Judicial procedure
with a view to reducing its expenses
to private litigant In civil eases and
facilitating the dispatch of buslnes
and final decision In both final and crim
inal cuses, constitutes the greatest need
in our American institution. A com
mission to consider reform In the ju
diciary is recommended. The president
recommended, in accordance with tho
promise In the Republican platform,
tiiat appropriate legislation relating to
tho Issunnco of Injunctions be adopted.

Taft then refers to anti-trust and in

discussed In n special message.

growing out of the transmission of

about $03,000,000 a year. Congress he
says, may woll consider whether radical

atop should not be taken to reduee
tho deficit by Imposing a higher rate
of postage on magatlnos and periodical.
"The total deficit for the fiscal year
In the postofJIco department amounted
to 117,500,000," taya tho president.
"The branches of lis business which it
did at a loss were the second class mail

Conservation Legislation
The president moutious tho necessity
for legitlatiou lookiug to tho further
conservation of nutural resources and
announces that a special message on
this subject including that of water
ways, reclamation, irrigation, reforest
ing, etc., will bo sent to congress early.

houses to a suitable civiliun bureau is
rucuuimeuded because of frequont fric
tion duo to the sbsence of auy central
iudupeiident authority.
White Slavery
White slavery is discussed, tho view
being that there is urgent necessity
lor additional legislation and greater ex
ecutive activity to supross it.
"1 believe it to bo constitutional," tho
president says, "to forbid undor penalty
tuo truuspotation of persons lor pur
poses of postnutiun across national
und state lines; aud by appropriating a
luud of 30,000 to be used by the sec
retary of commerce and labor for the
euipluyouint of special inspectors, it will
bo possible to brlug these responsible for
this trade to indictmout and conviction
under a federal law."
Political Contributions
Kegurding campuigu contributions
tho president suysi
'1 urgeutly recommend to congress
that a law bo passed requiring that
candidates in elections of member of
tho house of representatives and com
mittees in charge of tholr caudadacy
aud campaign, fllo in a proper ollico
of the U. ti. government, a statement of
tho contributions rccelvod und of tho
expenditure Incurred in tho campaign
for such elections and that slmlllar
legislation be enacted in regard to all
otbor eloctioua which aro constitutional
ly within the control of eongross."
Public Health Bureau
The president say that while the
medical department of tho army and
navy must be kept separato, there
seoma no reason why all the other
bureaus and oUlces in the general gov
ernment which havo to do with the pub
lic neaun snoum not tie united in a
buroau to bo called tho "bureau of pub
lie health."
In conclusion the president says:
"Speaking genorally, tho country Is
in a high stato of prosperity. There is
every reason to bollevo that we are on
the eve of a substantial business ex
paisou and we have just garnored t
harvest unexampled in the market
value of our agricultural products.
High Prices la Country
"The high prices which such products
bring mean great prosperity for the
farming community, but, un the other
band, they mean a very considerably
increased burdon upon those classee la
the community whose yearly eompen
satloa does not expand with tlis lm
prevement Iu business and the general
prosperity. Various reason are given
for high prices. The proportion-'
ate iiteroMA In tho output of gold,,
which la today tho chief medium of ex
change and Is In some respects'
measure of value, furnishes a sub
stantial explanation of at loast part of
tho Increaso In prices. The Increase In
population and more expensive modo
of living of the people, which have not
beon accompanied by a proportionate
incroase In acreage production, may fur
nish a farther Mason.
Higher Living BTsrywhars
"It Is woll to note that tho Increase
In the cost of-living la not 'confluttd to
this country but prevails the world
over and that those who would charge
Increases In prlco to the existing pro
tective taritf must most tho fact that
tho rise in prices has taken place al
most wholly in those products of the
factory and farm in the respect to
which there has been elthor no Increase
iu the tariff or in many instance a
very considerable reduction."
