TAFTS INAUGURAL
ADDRESS SUMMARIZED
New Presidnt Out Lines Policies
Which His Administration
Will Adhere To.

/ should be untrue to my promises
and my party platform If failed to
enforce those reforms my predeces-
sor has originated. TO render these
reforms lasting, further legislation and
executive action are needed.
Relief of the railroads from certain
restrictions OF the antitrust law will
be urged by me.
/ hope to submit to Congress next
December definite suggestions of
needed amendments to the antitrust
and interstate commerce laws.
To secure speed in revising the
tariff no other legislation should be
attempted at the special session.
l recommend a graduated inherit
ance tax, should the import duties
fail to provide sufficient income.
In the Department of Agriculture
scientific experiment must go on, as
must the work of conserving our nat
ural resources.
The opening and widening of the
Ohio and the Mississippi Rivers are
commended to the careful considera-
tion of Congress.
The army and navy should be kept
in a state of preparedness as a means
against war, but large standing
army is cbviated by cur natural loca-
tion.
Our international policy must 'e-
main to promote peace.
Legislation should be enacted at
once giving the Federal Government
such power in states and cities as Ia
guarantee the rights our treaties give
to other nations.
The incoming Administration is
charged to reform our banking laws
and the incoming Congress should
promptly fulfill the promise of the
Republican Platform and pass a
postal savings bank bill.
Congress fixed the type OF the Pan
anna Canal. There has been no
change in the conditions which would
indicate that the lock type is not the
correct one.
l hope to increase the already good
feeling between the North and South.
A change in its Electoral vote is a
secondary consideration. Danger of
control by an ignorant electorate is
passed.
Any recognition of distinguished men
of the negro race by appointment to
office in community in which
there is race prejudice, may do more
harm than' good, and | question the
wisdom of a policy that might in
crease race feeling.
The Government should be respon-
sible to injured employees.
My conviction as to the power Of
the Federal Courts to issue injunc-
tions in industrial disputes is fixed.
If that could be taken away privi-
legged class among the laborers would
be created.
The secondary boycott is an instru-
ment of tyranny.
The American people insist that the
authority of the Courts shall be sus-
tanned and opposed to interference
with the administration.
