Roosevelt Urges Law Change to Empower Secret Service
President Theodore Roosevelt issues a special message to Congress arguing for a broader use of the secret service, criticizing Tawney Smith and others for restricting its reach. He cites cases on land frauds, naturalization, and beef-trust crackdowns to show the service's value and calls for a bureau placement in the Department of Justice with a $6000 salary for its chief.
