PRESIDENT'SMESSAGE
The president in bis message to con
gress says:
No nation has greater resources than
ours, and 1 think it can be truthfully
said thnt tho citizens of no nation pos
sess greater energy nnd Industrial abil
ity. In no nntlon are the fundamental
business conditions sounder than In
mrs lit this very moment and it is
fool lull when such Is the case for peo
ple to board money Instead of keeping
It In sound bunks, for it Is such hoard
ing that Is the immediate occasion of
money stringency. Moreover, as a
rule, the business of our people Is con
ducted with honesty nnd probity, aud
this applies ullUe to farms and fac
tories, to rnllroads and banks, to all
our legitimate commercial enterprises.
lu any large body of men, however,
there are certain to be some who are
dishonest, and If. the conditions are
such that thes men prosper or commit
their misdeed with impunity their
example is a ver evil thing for the
community. Where these men are
business nen of great sagacity and of
temperament both unscrupulous and
rockless, an-1 where the conditions are
such that they act without supervision
or control and at first without effective
check from public opinion, they delude
many innocent people iuto making in
vestments or embarking in kinds of
business that are really unsound.' When
the misdeeds of these successfully dis
honest tnou are discovered, suffering
comes not only upon them, but upon
the lunoccnt whom they have misled.
It is n painful awakening, whenever it
occurs, and naturally when it does oc
cur those who suffer are apt to forget
thnt the louger it was deferred the
more painful it would be. In the effort
to punish the guilty It is both wise and
proper to endeavor so far as possible
to minimize the distress of those who
have been misled by the guilty. Yet it
Is not possible to refrain because of
such distress from striving to put au
end to the misdeeds that are tho ulti
mate causes of the suffering and, as a
means to this end, where possible to
punish those responsible for them.
There may be honest differences of
opinion ns to many governmental poli
cies, but surely there can be no such
differences ns to the need of unflinch
ing perseverance lu the war against
successful dishonesty.
Interstate Commerce.
No smnll pnrt of tho trouble that we
have comes from carrying to an ex
treme the national virtue of self reli
ance, of independence In Initiative
aud actiou. It is wise to conserve this
virtue and to provide for Its fullest
exercise compatible with seeing that
liberty does not become a liberty to
wrong others. Unfortunately this is
the kind of liberty that the lack of all
effective regulation inevitably breeds.
The founders of the constitution pro
vided thnt the national government
should have complete and sole control
of Interstate commerce. There was
then practically no interstate business
save such as wn3 conducted by water,
and this the uatloual government at
once proceeded to regulate in thorough
going und effective fashion. Conditions
have now so wholly changed that the
interstate commerce by water is insig
nificant compared with the amount
that goes by land, and almost nil big
business concerns are now engaged in
Interstate commerce. As a result it can
be but partially aud imperfectly con
troller! or regulated by the action of
any one of the several states, such ac
tion inevitably tending to be either
too drastic or else too lax and in either
case ineffective for purposes of Justice.
Only the natiounl government can in
thoroughgoing fnshlou exercise the
needed control. This does not mean
that there should be any extension of
federal authority, for such authority
already exists under the constitution
lu amplest and most far reaching form,
but it docs menu that there should be
an extension of federal activity. This
Is not advocating centralization. It is
merely looking facts in the face and
realizing thnt centralization tn business
hns already come and cannot be avoid
ed or uudone and that the public at
large tan only protect Itself from cer
tain evil effects of this business cen
tralization by providing better methods
for the exercise ot control through the
authority already centralized In the
nntionul government by the constitu
tion Itself. There must be no halt in
the healthy constructive course of ac
tion which this nation has elected to
pursue aud has steadily pursued dur
ing the last six years, as shown both
in the legislation of the congress and
the administration of the law by the
department of Justice.
National License For Railroade.
The most vital ueed is in, connection
with tho railroads. As to these, In my
Judgment, there should now be either
a national Incorporation act or a law
licensing railway compaales to engage
In Interstate roflrftteree upon certain
conditions. The law should be so
framed as to give to tho Interstate
commerce om mission uower to pass
upon the future issue of securities,
while ample means should be provided
THo eunble the commission whenever lu
its Judgment it is necessary to make a
physical valuation of any railroad. As
I stated in my message to the congress
a year ago, railroads should bo given
power to enter into agreements sub
ject to these agreements being made
public in minute detail and to the con
sent of the Interstate commerce com
mission being first obtained. Until
the national government assumes prop
er control of interstate commerce in
the exercise- of the authority It nlready
possesses it will be Impossible either
to give to or to get from the railroads
full Justice. The railroads and all oth
er great corporations will do well to
recognize that this control must come.
The only question is as to what gov
ernmental body can most wisely exer
cise It The courts will determine the
limits within which the federal author
ity can exercise it, and there will still
remain ample work within each state
for the railway commission of that
state, and the national Interstate com
merce commission will work In har
mony with the several state commis
sions, each within Its own province, to
achieve the desired end.
The Antitrust Law.
Moreover, in my Judgment, there
should be additional legislation looking
to tho proper control of the great busi
ness concerns engaged In interstate
business, this control to be exercised
for their own benefit and prosperity
no less than for the protection of In
vestors and of the general public. As
I have repeatedly said In messages to
congress aud elsewhere, experience has
definitely shown not merely the unwis
dom, but the futility, of endeavoring to
put a stop to all business combinations.
Modern industrial conditions are such
thnt combination is not only necessary,
but inevitable. It is so in the world of
business Just as It Is so in the world
of labor, and it is as idle to desire to put
an end to all corporations, to all big
combinations of capital, as to desire to
put nn end to combinations of labor.
Corporation and labor union alike have
come to stay. Each If properly man
aged is a source of good and not evil.
Whenever In either there is evil It
should be promptly held to account
but it should receive hearty encourage
ment so long as it is properly managed.
It is profoundly Immoral to put or
keep on the statute books a law nomi
nally in the Interest of public morality
that really puts a premium upon pub
lic Immorality by undertaking to for
bid honest men from doing what must
be done under modern business condi
tions so that the law itself provides
tat Its own Infraction must be the
condition precedent upon business suc
cess. To aim at tbe accomplishment
of too much usually means the accom
plishment of too little and often tbe do
ing of positive damage.
Not Repeal, but Amendment.
The antitrust law should not be re
pealed, but It should be made both
more efficient and more in harmony
with actual conditions. It should be
so amended as to forbid only the kind
of combinatlou which does harm to the
general public, such amendment to be
accompanied by or to be an Incident of
a grant of supervisory power to the
governmeut over these big concerns
engaged in interstate business. This
should be accompanied by provision
for the compulsory publication of ac
counts and tbe subjection of books and
papers to the inspection of the gov
ernment officiate. A beginning has al
ready been made for such supervision
by the establishment of tbe bureau ot
corporations.
The antitrust law should not prohibit
combinations that do no Injustice to
the public, still less those tbe existence
of which Is on the whole of benefit
to tbe public. But even if this feature
of the law were abolished there would
remain us an equally objectionable fea
ture the difficulty nnd delay now inci
dent to Its enforcement The govern
ment must now submit to irksome and
repeated delay before obtaining a final
decision of the courts upou proceedings
Instituted, and even a favorable de
cree may mean an empty victory.
Moreover, to attempt to control these
corporations by lawsuits means to Im
pose upon both the department ot
Justice and the courts an impossible
burden. It Is not feasible to carry on
more than a limited number of such
suits. Such a lnw to be really effec
tive must of course be administered
by on executive body and Aot merely
by means of lawsuits. The design
should be to prevent the abuses inci
dent to the creation of unhealthy and
improper combinations instead of wait
ing uutil they arc in existence and
then attempting to destroy them by
civil or criminal proceedings.
Law Should Be Explicit.
A combination should not be tolerat
ed if it abuse the power acquired by
combinatlou to the public detriment
No corporation or association of any
kind should be permitted to engage In
forelgu or lutcrstnte commerce that is
formed for the . purpose of or whose
operations create a monopoly or gen
eral control of the production, sale or
distribution of any one or more of the
prime necessities of life or articles of
general use and necessity. Such com
binations are against public policy.
They violate the common law. The
doors of the courts are closed to those
who are parties to them, and I believe
the congress can close the channels of
Interstate commerce against them for
its protection. Tbe law should make
Its prohibitions and, permissions as
clear and definite as possible, leaving
tho least possible room for arbitrary
action or allegation of such action on
the part of the executive or of diver
gent interpretations by the courts.
Among the points to be aimed at
should be the prohibition of unhealthy
competition, such as by rendering serv
ice at au actual loss for the purpose of
crushing out competition, the preven
tion of inflation of capital aaid the pro
hibition of a corporation's making ex
clusive trade with itself a condition of
having any trade with Itself. Reason
able agreements lctween or comblna
Jlons of corporations should be per
mitted provided they are first submit
ted to and approved by some appro
priate government body.
Congress' Power.
The congress hos the power to char
ter corporations to engage in interstate
and foreign commerce, and a general
law can be enacted under the provi
sions of which existing corporations
could take out federal charters and
uew federal corporations could be cre
ated. An essential provision of such a
law should be a method of predeter
mining by some fcdcrul board or com
mission whether the applicant for a
federal chnrter was an association or
combination within the restrictions of
the federal law. Provision should also
be made for complete publicity tn all
matters affecting the public and com'
plete protection to the Investing public
and the shareholders In the -matter ot
issuing corporate securities. If nn in
corporation law is uot deemed ndVlsa
ble, a license act for big Interstate cor
porations might be enacted or a com
biuutlou of the two might be tried.
The supervision established might be
analogous to thut now exercised over
national banks. At least the anti
trust act should be supplemented by
specific prohibitions of the methods
which experience has shown have been
of most service In enabling monopolis
tic combinations to crush out competi
tion. The real owners of a .corporation
should be compelled to do business in
their own name. The right to hold
stock in other corporations should here
after be denied to Interstate corpora
tions, unless on approval by the proper
government officials, and a prerequisite
to such npproval should be the listing
with the government of all owners aud
stockholders, both by the corporation
ownlug such stock and by the corpora
tion in which such stock Is owned.
Lessons of Recent Criiii.
To confer upon tho national govern
ment lu connection with the amend
ment I advocate lu the antitrust law
power of supervision over big business
concerns engaged In Interstate com
merce would lienefit them as It has
benefited the national banks. In the
recent business crisis It is noteworthy
that the institutions which failed were
Institutions which were not under the
supervision and control of the national
government. Those which were under
natioual control stood the test
National control of the kind ubove
advocated would be to the benefit of
every well managed railway. From
the standpoint of the public there Is
need for additional tracks, additional
terminals aud Improvements In the ac
tual handling of the railroads, and all
this as rapidly as possible. Ample,
safe aud speedy .transportation facili
ties are even more necessary than
cheap transportation. Therefore there
is need for the investment of money
which will provide for all these things
while at the same time securing as far
as Is possible better wages and shorter
hours for their employees. Therefore,
while there must be just nnd reasona
ble regulation of rates, we should be
the first to protest against any arbitra
ry and unthinking movement to cut
them down without the fullest and
most careful consideration of all Inter
ests concerned nnd of the actual needs
of the situation. Only a special body
of men acting for the national govern
ment under nuthority conferred upon It
by tbe congress Is competent to pass
judgment oa such a matter.
. Those1 who fear from any reason the
extension of federal activity will do
well to study the history not only of
the natioual banking act but of tbe
pure food law, and notably the meat
Inspection law recently enacted. The
pure food law was opposed so violent
ly that Its passage was delayed for a
decade, yet it has worked unmixed and
immediate good. The meat inspection
law was even more violently assailed,
and the same men who now denounce
the attitudu of the natioual govern
ment tn seeking to oversee and control
the workings of Interstate common car
riers and business concerns then as
serted that we were "discrediting and
ruining a great American industry."
Two years have not elapsed, and al
ready It has become evident that the
great benefit the law confers upon the
public is accompanied by an equal ben
efit to the reputable packing establish
ments. The latter are better off under
the lnw than they were without it
The benefit to Interstate common car
riers and business coucerns from the
legislation I advocate would be equal
ly marked.
Pure Food Law.
Incidentally In the passago of the
pure food law the action of the vari
ous state food and dairy commission
ers showed in striking fashion bow
much good for the whole people results
from the hearty co-operation of the
federal and state ofllclals In securing
a given reform. It Is primarily to the
action of these state commissioners
that we owe the enactment of this
law, for they aroused the people, first
to demand the euactment nnd enforce
ment of state laws on the subject and
then the enactment of the federal law,
without which the state laws were
largely Ineffective. There must be the
closest co-operntlon between the na
tional aud state governments In ad
ministering these laws.
Currency Legislation Needed.
I again urge on the congress the
need of immediate attention to this
matter. We need a greater elasticity
In our currency, provided of course
that we ' recognize tbe even greater
need of a safe and secure currency.
Provision should be made for an
emergency currency. The emergency
issue should of course be made with
nn effective guarantee nnd upon condi
tions carefully prescribed by the gov
ernment. Such emergency issue must
be based on adequate securities ap
proved by the government and must bo
Issued under a heavy tax. This would
permit currency being issued when the
demand for it was urgent while secur
ing its retirement as the demand fell
off. It Is worth Investigating to de
termine whether officers and directors
of national banks should ever be al
lowed to loan to themselves. Trust
companies should be subject to tho
same supervision ns banks. Legisla
tion to this effect should be enacted for
the District of Columbia and the territories.
Yet Sve must also remember that
even the wisest legislation on the sub
ject can only accomplish a certain
amount No legislation can fy any
possibility guarantee the business com
munity against the results of specula
tive folly any more than it can guaran
tee an individual against the results of
his extravagance. When an individual
mortgages his house to buy an auto
mobile he invites disaster, and when
wealthy men or men who pose as such
or are unscrupulously or foolishly eager
to become such indulge In reckless
speculation, especially if it Is accom
panied by dishonesty, they Jeopardize
not only their own future, but the fu
ture of all their innocent fellow cltl
zcus, for they expose the whole busi
ness community to panic and distress.
Can't Revise Tariff Now,
This country Is definitely committed
to the protective system, and any ef
fort to uproot it could not but cause
widespread industrial disaster. In
other words, the principle of the pres-
ent tariff law could not with wtedom
be changed. But In a country of such
phenomenal growth as ours it is prob
ably well that every dozen years or so
the tariff laws should be carefully scru
tinized so as to see that no excessive
or improper benefits are conferred
thereby, that proper revenue is provid
ed and that our foreign trade Is en
couraged. There must always be as a
minimum a tariff which will not only
allow for the collection of an ample
revenue, but which will at least make
good the difference in cost of produc
tion here und abroad that is, the dif
ference In the labor cost here and
abrond, for the well being of the wage-
worker must ever be a cardinal point
of American policy. The question
should be approached purely from a
business standpoint, both tbe time and
the manner of the chnngo being such
as to arouse the minimum of agitation
and disturbance In the business world
nnd to give the lenst play for selfish
nnd factional motives. The sole con
sideration should be to see thnt the
sum total of changes represents tbe
public good. This means thnt the sub
ject cannot with wisdom be dealt with
in the year preceding a presidential
election, becnuse as a matter of fact
experience hns conclusively shown that
at such a time It Is Impossible to get
men to treat It from the standpoint of
the public good. In my judgment the
wise time to deal with the matter is
Immediately after such election.
Income Tax and Inheritance Tax.
When our tax laws are revised the
question of an income tax and an in
heritance tax should receive the care
ful attention of our legislators. In
my judgment both of these taxes
should be part of our system of fed
eral taxation. I speak diffidently about
the income tax because one scheme for
an income tax was declared unconsti
tutional by the supreme court, while in
addition it is a difficult tax to admin
ister in its practical working, and great
care would have to be exercised to see
that it was hot evaded by the very
men whom It was most desirable to
have taxed. Nevertheless a graduated
Income tax of the proper type would
be a desirable feature of federal taxa
tion, and it is to be hoped thnt oue
may be devised which the supreme
court will declare constitutional.
Tho Inheritance tax, however, Is
a far better method of taxation. The
government has the absolute right to
decide as to the terms upon which a
man shall receive n bequest from an
other, and this point In the devolution
of property is especially appropriate
for the imposition of a tax. Laws im
posing such taxes have repeatedly been
placed upon the national statute books
and as repeatedly declared constitu
tional by the courts, and these laws
coutalucd the progressive principle
that is, after a certain amount is reach
ed the bequest or gift In life or death
is increasingly burdened and tbe rate
of taxation Is Increased in proportion
to tbe remoteness of blood of the man
receiving the bequest These principles
are recogulzed already In the leading
civilized uations of the world. .
Germany's Inheritance Tax.
The German law is especially inter
esting to us because It makes the in
beritance tax an imperial measure
while ullotlng to the Individual states
of the empire a portion of tho pro
ceeds and permitting them to impose
taxes iu addition to those Imposed by
the Imperial governmeut Small inher
itances are exempt, but the tax is so
sharply progressive that wheu the in
heritance is still not very large, pro
vided It Is not an agricultural or a for
est land, It is taxed ut tho rate of 23
per cent If It goes to distant relative?
There is no reason why in tho United
States the national government should
not impose inheritance taxes in addi
tion to those Imposed by the states,
and when we Inst had nn Inheritance
tax about one-half of the stutes levied
such taxes concurrently with the na
tional government making a combined
maximum rate In some cases us high
as 25 per cent
To Tax Nonresidents Higher.
The tax should If possible bo made
to bear more heavily upon thoso resid
ing without the couutry thnn within it
A heavy progressive tax upon a very
largo fortune is in no way such a tax
upon thrift or Industry as a like tax
would be on a small fortune. No ad
vantage conies cither to tho country
as a whole or to tho individuals inher
iting money by permitting the
transmission lu their entirety of the
enormous fortunes which would be af
fected by such a tux, and as an Inci
dent to Its fuuetlou of revenue raislug
such a tax would help to preserve a
measurable equality of opportunity for
the people of tho generations growing
to manhood.
Wo have uot the slightest sympathy
with thnt socialistic Idea which would
try to put lazluess. thrlftlessncss and
inefficiency on a par with Industry,
thrift and efficiency, which would
strive to break up not merely private
property, but. what Is far more impor
tant, the home, the chief prop upon
which our whole civilization stands.
Such a theory If ever adopted would
mean the ruin of the entire couutry,
hut proposals for legislation such as
this herein OMvocated are directly op
posed to this class of sociiallstlc the
ories. . Enforcement of the Law.
A few years ego there was loud com
plaint that the law could not be in
voked against wealthy offenders. There
Is no such complaint now. The course
of the department of Justiue during the
last few years hns been such as to
make it evident that no man stands
above tho law, that no corporation Is
so wealthy that It cannot bo held to ac
count Everything that can be dene
under the, existing law nnd with the
existing state of public oplulon. which
so profoundly influences both the courts
nnd juries, has been done, but the laws
themselves need strengthening. They
should be made more definite, so that
no honest man can be led unwittingly
to break them nnd o that the real
wrongdoer can be readily punished.
Moreover, there must be the public
opinion back of the laws or the laws
themselves will be of no avail. The
two great evils In the execution of our
criminal laws today are sentimentality
aud technicality. For the latter tho
remedy must come frqm the hands of
the legislatures, the courts and the law
yers. The oilier must depend for 111
enre upon the gradual growth of a
sound' public opinion which shall Insist
that regard for the law nnd the de
mands of reason shall control all other
influences aud 'emotions in the jury
box. Both of these evils must be re
moved or public discontent with the
criminal lnw will continue.
Injunctions.
Instances of abuse In the granting
of Injunctions in labor disputes con
tinue to occur, and the resentment in
the minds of thoso who feel thnt their
rights are being Invaded and tbelr lib
erty of action aud of speech unwar
rantably restrained continues likewise
to grow. Much of the attack on the
use of the process of Injunction Is
wholly without warrant, but I am con
strained to express the belief that for
some of It there Is warrant. This ques
tion is becoming one of prime impor
tance, aud unless the courts will deal
with It lu effective mnnner it is cer
tain ultimately to demand some form
of legislative action. It would be most
unfortunate for our social welfare if
we should permit many honest and
law abiding citizens to feel thut they
had just cnuse for regarding our courts
Tilth hostility. I earnestly commend
to pm attention of the cc
uv' Jr. so that somo way
vLfltxf which will limit the i
attention of the cougress this
may be de-
abuse of in
junctions und protect those rights
which from time to time it unwarrant
ably Invades. Moreover, discontent Is
often expressed with the uso of tbe
process of Injunction by the courts,
not ouly In labor disputes, but where
state laws are concerned. I refrain

am informed thnt it will soou receive

sential adjunct of the court's dolug its
work well, aud as preventive measures
are always better than remedial the
wise use of this process is from every
standpoint commendable. But where
it is recklessly or unnecessarily used
tho abuse should be censured, above
all by the very men who are properly
anxious to prevent any effort to shear
the courts of this necessary power.
Tho court's duclsiou must bo linal. The
protest is only against the conduct of

pating such final decision or lu the
tyrannical use of what Is nominally a
temporary Injunction to accomplish
what is in fact a permanent decision.
