Tariff Session Left Public Angered By Rising Duties
The special tariff session of the sixty first congress is recalled as a disappointment with higher duties despite pre election pledges. The New England and inter mountain interests allied to protect iron ore wool and related goods while the middle west and consumer suffered. A income tax attempt failed as Taft shifted to a corporation tax plan. Public mood grew restless in early summer with criticism of Republican leaders and praise for La Follette and Beveridge. The next chapter promises the 1912 campaign focusing on Roosevelt.
