THE PRESIDENTS PROGRAM.
The Taft Policies as Outlined by Him
on His Trip.

The president has quit making
speeches and commenced to play. In
his speeches during the tour he has
outlined the policies and propositions
which he proposes to present to con-
gress during his administration.
Whether they will all be brought in at
the next session of congress or not re-
mains to be seen. He has laid out
enough work for several sessions and
much to which he is committed will
probably not be reached for some time.
1t is also safe to say that, if he ac-
complishes a very considerable per-
centage of the work laid out, he will
have to adopt a very aggressive at
titude toward congress, a much more
aggressive n than has characterized
his attitude toward that body up to
the present time. Following is a sum-
mary Of Mr.. Taft's policies:
Banking and Currency Reform.
The creation of a central bank Of
issue, which shall control the treasury
reserve and take steps to alleviate cur
rency s~tringencies.
The creation of a postal savings
bank system.
