President's Message outlines finance and reform plans
The president reports a strong financial footing with a net surplus of about $99 million and debt reduction, but urges reform of the currency system. He calls for increased government power to regulate interstate corporations, railroads, and communications, with a focus on publicity, fair rates, and public welfare. He also pushes labor and social reforms, including workplace safety, insurance, and inheritance taxes, while warning against extreme class-based politics.
