It Is an absurdity to expect to eliminate the abuses in great corporations by state action. It la difficult to j be patient with an argument that such , matters should he left to the states, be cause more than one state pursues the policy of ci eating on easy terms corporations which are never operated v Ithin that state at all, but In other states whose laws they Ignore. The national government alone can deal adequately with these great corporations. To try to deal with them In an Intemperate, destructive. or demagogic spirit would. In all probability, mean that nothing whatever would be accomplished, and. with absolute certalrty, that if anything were accompllsned It would be of a harmful nature. The American people need to continue to show the very qualities that they have shown that Is. modulation, good sense, the earnest desire to avoid doing any damage, and yet the quiet determination to proieed. step by step, without halt and without hurry. In eliminating or at least in minimizing whatever of mischief or of evil there Is to Interstate commerce In the conduct of great corporations. They are acting In no spirit of hostility to wealth, either Individual or corporate. They are not against the rich man any more than against the roor man. On the contrary, they are friendly alike toward rich man and toward poor man, provided only that each acts In a spirit of justlse and decency toward hts fellows. Great corporations are necessary, and only men of great and singular mental power can manage such corporations successfully, snd such man must have great rewards. But these corporations should be man- aged with due regard to the Interest of the public as a whole. Where this can be done under the present laws tt must be done. Where these laws com short others should be enacted to supplement them. The bureau of corporations has made careful preliminary Investigation of many important corporations. It will make a special report on the beet Industry. Bureau of Corporations. The policy of the bureau Is to accomplish the purposes ot Its creation by cooperation, not antagonism; by making constructive legislation, not destructive prosecution, the Immediate object of Its Inquiries; by conservative Investigation of law and facL and by refusal to Issue Incomplete and hence necessarily Inaccurate reports. Its policy being thus one of open Inquiry Into, and not attack upon, business, the bureau has been able to gain not only the confidence, but, better of men engaged in still, the legitimate business. ' The bureau ofTers to the Congress the means of getting at the coat of production ot our various great staples ot commerce. Rebates. Above all else, we must strive to keep the highways of commerce open to all on equal terms; and to do this If Is necessary to put a complete stop to all rebates. Whether the shipper or the. railroad, Is to blame makes no difference; the rebate must be stopped, the abuses of the private car and private terminal k track and systems must be stopped, and the legislation of the Congress which declares It to be unlawful for any person or corporation to offer, grant, give, solicit, accept, or receive any rebate, concession, or discrimination In respect of the transportation of any property In Interstate or foreign commerce whereby such property shall by any device whatever be transported at a less rate than that named In the tariffs published by the carrier must be enforced. While I am of the opinion that at present It would be undesirable. If It were not Impracticable, finally to clothe the Interstate Commerce Commission with general authority to fix railroad rates, I do not believe thaL as a fair security to shippers, tha Commission should be vested with the power, where a given rate has been challenged and after full hearing found to be unreasonable, to decide. subject to judicial review. - what shall be a reasonable rate to take Its place; the ruling of the commission to taka effect immediately, and to obtain unless and until It reversed by the In my judgment the court of review. most Important legislative act now needed as regards the regulation of corporations Is this act to confer on the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to revise rates and regulations, the revised rate to at once go Into effect, and to stay In effect unless and until tbs court ef review reverses 1L Much space is here devoted to a consideration ot the problem ot the proper housing ot the poor In our great cities, and the Importance ot a proper solution of the question shown. On this subject the message says: . There should be sever child-laband laws. It Is very desirable that married women should not In factories. The prime duty of the man Is to work, to be the breadwinner; the prim duty of the woman Is to be tbe mother, the housewife All questions of tariff and finance sink Into utter Insignificance when compared with the tremendous, the vital Importance of trying to shape conditions so that these two duties of the man and of the woman can be fulfilled under reasonably, favorable circumstances. If a race does not have plenty of children, or It tha children do not grow up. or If when they grow up they are unhealthy tn body and stunted or vicious In mind, then that race Is decadent. and no heaping up of wealth, no splendor of momentary material prosperity, can avail In any degree aa offsets. Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture has grown into an educational Institution with a faculty of two thousand specialists making research into all the sciences of production.
