W He says:
I Tlie, national government has as an
I ultimate resort for control of child la^
bor tho use of tho interstate commerce
clause to prevent the products of child
labor from entering Into Interstate commerce.
But before using this It ought
certaiuly to enact model laws on tho
subject for the territories under Its
own Immediate control.
1 Presidential Campaign Expenses.
Under our form of government voti
Ing Is not merely a right, but a duty,
W and, moreover, a fundamental and uecf
essary duty If a man Is to be a good
citizen. It Is well to provide that cork
poratlons shall not contribute to preslK
dentlal or national campaigns aud, furthermore.
to provide for the publication
of berth contributions and expenditures.
There Is, however, always dan>ger
In laws of this kind, which from
their very nature are difficult of euj
forcement, the danger being lest they
be obeyed only by the honest and disobeyed
by the unscrupulous, so as to
act only as a penalty upon honest men.
Moreover, no such law would humper
tf. an unscrupulous man of unlimited
means from buying his own way into
Pr office. There is a very radical mens
I ure which would, I believe, work a
substantial improvement in our sys\
tem of conducting u campaigu, although
I am well aware that It will
take some time for people so to familiarize
themselves with such a proposal
us to bo willing to consider Its adoption.
The need for collecting large
campaign funds would vanish If congress
provided an appropriation for Iho
proper and legitimate expenses of each
of the great national parties, an appropriation
ample enough to meet the nercessity
for thorough organization and
machinery, which requires a large expenditure
of money. Then the stipulation
should be made that no party
receiving campaign funds from the
treasury should accept more than a
fixed amount from any individual subscriber
or donor, and the necessary
publicity for receipts and expenditures
could without difllculty bo provided.
Tho Army.
The president recommends legislation
to increase the number of oflicers
/ *' in the army, especially In the medical
corps. The rate of pay of oflicers
should be greatly Increased, he deP*
Clares. There should be a relatively
ti even greater Increase In the rate of
J pay of enlisted men if we are to keep
j the army in shape to be effective in
time of need. The president recommends
severe examination of oflicers
for promotion un to the rank of maior.
From that point promotion should he
purely b.v selection. He speaks ot' the
recent physical test of army oflicers
with emphatic approbation and recommends
a bill equalizing the pay of
officers and men of the army, navy,
marine corps and revenue cutter service.
The Navy.
Concerning the navy the president
,) Bays:
i In my Judgment, we should this
year provide for four battleships. But
It is idle to build battleships unless, in
addition to providing the men and the
means for thorough training, we provide
the auxiliaries for them?unless
we provide docks, the coaling stations,
the colliers and supply ships that they
need. We are extremely dellclent In
coaling stations and docks on the Pacific,
and this deficiency should not
longer bfe permitted to exist. Plenty
of torpedo boats and destroyers should
Ij/ be built. Roth on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts fortifications of the best
type should be provided for all our
\ , greatest harbors.
' / Until our battle fleet Is much larger
than at present It should never be split
Into detachments so far apart that they
could not in event of emergency be
speedily united. Our coast line is on
the Pacific just as much as on the Atlantic.
The battle fleet should now
and then be moved to the Pacific, Just
as at other times It should be kept in
the Atlantic. When the isthmian canal
t is built the transit of the battle fleet
from one ocean to the other will bo
comparatively easy. Until it Is built
I earnestly hope that the battle fleet
j>' will be thus shifted between the two
oceans every year or two. The battle
' fleet Is about starting by the strait of
Magellan to visit the Pacific coast,
j Sixteen battleships are g >ing under the
commandof Rear Admiral Iivans. while
eight armored cruisers and two other
bnttleshlps will meet him in San Francisco,
whither certain torpedo destroyers
are also going. No fleet of such
size has over made such a voyage, and
It will be of very great educational use
to all engaged In it. The only way by
which to teach officers and men how
A to Handle the fleet so as to meet every
I possible strain and emergency In time
f/' Vof war is (o have them practice under
I similar conditions in time of peace.
Ema I The president recommends the lnl
Mpyf creased pay for both officers and enlistiH
ed men and advises promotion by selection
above the grade of lieutenant
commander.
(Foreign Affairs.
'oreign affairs. 1 l?o president Bays,
country's steady policy Is to hotoward
other nations as a strong
elf respecting man should behave
rd the other men with whom lie
light Info contact. In other words,
lm Is disinterestedly to help other
ns where such help can he wisely
without the appearance of niedwitli
hat does not concern us,
careful to act as a good neighbor
it the saino time In gooil natured
on to make it evident that wo do
ilenrt to be imposed upon.
i president refers at length to The
ic pence conference, lie believes
otnplished much good work.
Postal Savings Banks.
; president says on postal affairs:
i
I commend to the favorable consideration
of the congress a postal savings
bank system as recommended by
the postmaster general. Timid depositors
have withdrawn their savings for
the time being from national banks,
trust companies and savings banks. Individuals
have hoarded tlielr cash
and the worklugmen their earnings, all
of which money has been withheld
and kept In hiding or in the safe deposit
box to the detriment of prosperity.
Through the agency of the postal j
savings hanks such money would bo
restored to the channels of trade, to '
the mutual benefit of capital and labor.
I further coin mend to the congress
the consideration of the postmaster '
general's recommendation for an extension
of the parcel post, especially I
on the rural routes. It would be a
most desirable thing to put the fourth
class postmasters In the class I lied service.
Other recommendations are:
Deepening of the inland waterways,
especially of the Mississippi river system,
to make them great national highways.
%
The repeal of the tariff on fo/est
products, especially the duty on wood 1
pulp.
The amendment of the public land
laws to make them more effective
against land grabbers and more favorable
to bona lide settlers.
Retention of the government's title
to public coal and other mineral lands.
Extension of the national forest reserves.
Citizenship for the people of Porto ,
Rico.
Freer local self government for Alaska.
Encouragement of the merchant marine,
particularly of an ocean mail line
to South America.
Remission of the Boxer indemnity '
and freer entry for Chinese students
coming to America.
