(By United Press.)
Washington, Dec. 3? The President's
Message was read to Congress at. noon.
The document opened with a renewal
of the attack on dishonest business
methods; declarts that prosperity
throughout the country still abounds
and is on a sound basis; asserts that the
government should control all railroads
and that all corporations doing an inter
state business should be under the di
rect supervision of the government.
The Insurance companies, the message
says, should be forced to make the
widest publicity, especially as regards
the insurance of securities controlled
by the Insurance companies. It en
dorses the plan for an elastic currency
and approves of a system of ship sub
sidy to be guarded by the government.
The paes.ige of a modern tarifT reform
measure and the strengthening of the
laws protecting the people against
trusts is recommended. The mainten
ance of a system of postal saving banks
and the Introduction of the parcel post
is encouraged; the extension of ocean
mall service is declared necessary and
the protection and encouragement of
legislation guarding forest res.-rves and
the revision of the public land laws is
suggested. Stricter regulations pro
tecting female and chi d ltfbor, and the
enforcement of the laws against rich
and poor alike is declared imperative.
The portion of tbe message dealing
with the financial question is strooger
than in the one of last year, and a fear
less reply is made to the criticism of
Wall street financial interests, who
bold the president responsible for the
present financial flurry. No mention Is
made to the possibility of the Presi
dent accepting a third term.
Io reference to Alaska the President
says:
I reiterate my recommendations of
last year as regarding Alaska. Some
form of local self-government, which
is simple and inexpensive, should be
givon' the people. It is impossible for
Congress to meet and understand all
the little needs of the territory. Road
and railway building should be assisted
wherever possible; the governor should
receive ample appropriation to enable
him to at all times cope with lawless
ness, should the same arise, and the sell
ing of whisky to Indians should be
made a felony. Coal land laws should!
be so changed as to make it possible for
individuals and corporations to take up I
large tracts and develop the same for j
speculative purposes. There should be
another judicial district and light-!
houses must at once be established at
points along the coast where the same
are neceasary, and the survey of the
coast should Immediately be completed.
Salmon fiahijg occupies quite a space
in the mcjsp ~e, an<l the President says
it should be taken in charge of by a
government c *p rtment, as at the pres
ent time it b' log rained under im
proper lawa. <
The Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition
is strongly endorsed and a liberal ap
propriation is requested to be made in
order that the exploitation of the coun
try's resources may be mad-.
