President Taft's tariff and canal policy message
President Taft's annual message to Congress reviews tariff negotiations and the Panama Canal, calls for merchant marine expansion, and urges economy in government. It details tariff schedules, tariff board work, island possessions, postal savings banks, and reforms in justice, pensions, forests, coal lands, and interstate commerce. The tone stresses fiscal restraint, administrative efficiency, and continued canal completion by 1916 with fortification and toll considerations.
