Taft Targets Ship Subsidy and Postal Savings Plans
Washington correspondent notes Taft will push two bills this winter the ship subsidy law and the postal savings bank proposal. The subsidy would fund U S steamship owners to build a merchant marine seen as harmful to the Midwest and contrary to Roosevelt era policy. The postal savings idea aims to provide secure deposits but critics say it amounts to government guarantees via private banks. Both face Midwest opposition and are viewed as misaligned with Taft and Roosevelt differences.
