CONTINUATION OF ROOSEVELT
POLICIES' IS PLAN.
Middle Course Between Radicals and
Conservatives to be Pursued.
Will Use Gloves.
POSTAL SAVINGS
BANK TO FRONT
Washington, Nov. 24.—Wlien the
president returned from his continent
girdling trip November 10, the solid
substantial work of his administra-
tion began, according to its -support-
era-
The executive has entered serious-
ly upon his task of "clinching the
Roosevelt policies," to which he
pledged himself with such emphasis
in the campaign a year ago.
President Taft is determined upo.i
a more rigid control by the federal
government of corporations. This
will be the keystone of his policin.
Now that the tariff is out of the way
for the time at least, he is prepared
to concentrate his energies upon this
propaganda.
In his forthcoming message to con-
gress he will make it clear that He
desires to go further than even Pres-
ident Roosevelt intended doing. He
hopes to have t^e record of his ad-
ministration go down into history as
that which tamed and subdued sta
predatory corporate interests, but he,
will conduct his fight through the
channels of legislation, and not by
spasmodic agitation.
This means, of course, that the con-
trol of corporations will be the sub-
ject uppermost in the coming session
of congress, and consequently that
another hot and thrilling struggle
between the radicals and the conser-
vatives, such as took place when the
Hepburn rate law was passed, is
likely to electrify the country.
When the corporation ta* was un-
der discussion, during the fight over
the tariff bill, the president referred
to it as the "first step" in the con*
trol of corporations. The next step
it is understood will be the control
of the issue of stocks and bonds of
interstate corporations.
Just "where the president intends
to vest this control is not definitely
known, but his "cabinet of lawyers,'
with the able assistance of Senator
Root of New York, has had the ques-
tion under consideration, and it
is not doubted that the right
path out of the labyrinth will be
found. i . ^
It is not likely, however, that the
president will go far enough to
please the radicals and the extremists
in congress. Predictions are plenti-
ful that in steering a middle course
he will make more enemies than
friends. He would be the last to
avow himself an enemy of corpora-
tions. He has the highest possible
regard for the rights of private prop-
erty.
The federal control will in time be'
recognized as the true protection and
safeguard of corporations in his be-
lief, and in presenting his program
to congress he is certain to insist up-
on adequate regulation without any
compromise.
President Taft will probably dis-
please the radicals by recommending
an amendment to the Sherman anti-
trust law. He will urge that the
general prohibition of the pres-
ent law against all combinations
and contracts in restraint of
trade be limited to such as consti-
Washington, Nov. 24.—In his
message to congress President Taft
will strongly urge the enactment of
legislation authorizing a postal sav-
ings bank system, and Postmaster
General Hitchcock, in his forthcom-
ing annual report, it is said, will de-
vote considerable space to this sub-
ject.
During the extra session a num-
ber of bills were introduced in the
house to establish a postal savings
bank and to provide for the conduct
and regulation of the same. They
were referred to the committee on
post offices and post roads. There
is very little difference in the phrase-
ology of the several bills, and it is
believed that one of them will be
favorably reported to the house early
in the session. It will be known as
an administration measure, as it will
have the endorsement of President
Taft and the postmaster general.
Such a bill will not have smooth
sailing, however, for the reason that
within the last few days the advo-
cates of a Central bank of issues,
such as proposed by Senator Aldrich,
have put forth the claim that a pos-
tal savings bank would necessarily
be a part of a central bank of issue
and, therefore, both measures should
be considered in conjunction with the
other.
Ralph Smith, a young man about
18 years old and a student in the
Dewey school, was accidentally
struck on the upper lip with a shin-
ny club in the hands of a fellow
student while engaged in a game of
shinny yesterday. The blow laid the
lip open and loosened some of the
young man's teeth. Ralph is very
unfortunate and seems to be pursued
by hard luck. He was in the grand
stand which collapsed during the rop-
ing contest held at Dewey last July
and was severely hurt.
