The TAFT POLICIES
An Outline of the Recommendation
of the President to Congress in
His Annual Message.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The program
placed before congress by President
Taft in his annual message is the
most extensive and ambitious ever
proposed by chief executive. 1t
even dwarfs the recommendation
made by Roosevelt Ten main poll
cies are urged by the president, be-
sides list of minor items covering
routine matters and questions of
secondary importance. They are:
Supervision of the issue of stocks
and bonds by interstate corporations.
Readjustment of the duties and
powers of the interstate commerce
commission.
Expansion of the duties of the
bureau of corporations.
Creation of new bureau in the
department of justice to deal with
violations of law by interstate car
riers.
Establishment of so-called rail
road court"
Amendment of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Creation of a postal savings bank.
Ship subsidies.
Amendment of the procedure re-
garding the granting of injunctions.
Conservation of natural resources.
One of the minor policies favored
by the president is the consolidation
into national health bureau of all
instruments for the investigation.
prevention and cure of disease,
which are now included in the ma
tional government or may properly
'@ '"'uu'u 1890. I
Would Control Stocks. 's-l
The recommendation for the con-
troll of the issue of stocks and bonds
by corporations is aimed at the
evil popularly known as stock water
ing, while those for the expansion
of the duties of the bureau of cor
porations and the creation of new
bureau in the department of justice
to deal with violations of the anti
trust, anti-rebate and railroad laws
suggest closer inspection and con-
troll of interstate corporations.
Those for the readjustmcnt of the
duties and powers of the interstate
commerce commission, the creation
of a railroad court and the amend
ment of the Sherman antitrust law,
are partially in line with Roosevelt's
plans and partially to the initiative
of President Taft himself. The work
ings of the railroad rate law have
not been entirely satisfactory in
practice, and this proposed legisla-
ton is for the purpose of remedying
the defects in the act
President Taft would divide the
executive and judicial functions of
the commission, giving the last
named to a court proper.

People Demand Consideration.

The plea of the trust barons is for a
continuance Of the present regime OF
high prices. 1t can be nothing else.
For if it were not that, the interested
industries would not be begging for
tariff favors. They are not begging
for something which will do them no
good, but for something which will do
them a great deal of good. But it can
only do this good by keeping up
prices-that is, by compelling the peo-
pie to pay the difference between the
cost of an article in the foreign mar
ket and the tariff-made price at home.
The very presence of these men in
Washington is an admission of every
thing that has been charged-namely,
that protection does raise prices; that
the consumer pays the tax, and that
the question involved is one of privil-
eye and not of right. There is not n
representative OF industry who has
asked for high protective taxes on the
