President Roosevelt Calls for Currency Reform and Railroad Relief
President Roosevelt urges Congress to adopt emergency currency backed by bonds and tax measures, seeks limited amendments to the Sherman Act for industrial progress, and favors railroads increasing capital under Interstate Commerce Commission scrutiny. He proposes federal licenses for interstate firms, considers taxes on inheritances and income later, and supports tariff timing, print paper removal under Canada trade conditions, and improved worker safety and training. The message forecasts no immediate enactment beyond currency and rail relief and pushes easing injunctions against unions.
