He advocates public oversight of railways and telegraphs, labor protections, wageworker benefits, inheritance tax, and stronger judicial accountability. He also urges forest preservation, inland waterways, postal savings banks, and statehood for New Mexico and Arizona, with emphasis on national unity and centralized regulation of big corporations.
