President Roosevelt urges federal control of interstate commerce
The president's annual message urges tight oversight of big corporations and railroads to curb overcapitalization and stock speculation. He calls for federal supervision, possible federal charters or licenses for interstate firms, mandatory publication of accounts, and stronger antitrust enforcement with safeguards for investors and the public. He also advocates postal savings banks and currency elasticity alongside continued tariff review and national resource conservation.
