The principle recommendations
were: Establishment of a budget
system. Reorganization of the taxa-
ton system. REIMBURSEMENT Of the
tariff system to make it conform with
fact that the United States is the
greatest capitalist in the world" y
Recognition and relief for the world
war veterans particularly in the way
of government farms. Measures to
foster the dyestuffs industry. An en-
larged program of rural development.
Measures to remove the causes of
political rcstlessness in our body
polite"
At this point the President made
most extensive reference to the peace
treaty saying the causes for unrest
were superficial rather than deep seat
cd and arose from failure Of the
government to arrive speedily at a
just and permanent peace. 5
A definite program to bring impro-
vement cnoditions of labor and gen
uine characterization in industry was
recommended. The government must
recognize the rights of men to. bar
gain collectively for humane objects,
the President declared.
p H.
The President at the outset stated
that the matter of the railroads and
the reimbursement of their affairs
growing out of government control,
would be taken up at a later date.
He urged legislation looking to the
establishment Of aBudget system.
He said there should be one sin
gle authority responsible for making
all appropriations. Another and no
less important aspect he said is the
asceltainment of economy and eff
cheney with which money is expended.
81 trust Congress will give immcd-
late consideration to the problem of
future taxation. Simplification of in
come and profits taxes become an
immediate necessity not only to save
the tax payer Inconvenience and eX-
pcnsc but in order that liability may
be made certain and definite"
Congress might well consider
whether higher rates of income and
profits taxes can in peace times be
effectively productive of revenue.
IA fundamental change has taken
place with reference to the position
of America in the worlds affairs
Prejudices and passions engendered
by decades controversy between
two schools of political and economic
thought, the one believers in protec-
ton of American industries, and
others believers in tariff for revenue
only, must be subordinated to a con-
sideration of the public interest
