A Senate and House address argues prosperity is driven by policy and law not by mere luck. It urges measured regulation to curb monopolies and unfair practices while preserving free commerce and hints at constitutional amendment if needed.
The author argues for federal regulation of interstate trusts and corporate franchises, asserting that public oversight is essential to prevent misuse. He cautions against halting beneficial enterprise, stresses the need for a careful but decisive national approach, and rejects state-only solutions.
The speaker argues against tariff cuts as a cure for trusts, warning such moves would harm domestic competition and fail to affect large corporations. He favors stable, principled tariff policy, reciprocity treaties, and expert study before any adjustments, with a proposed tariff commission and targeted reductions such as removing the anthracite coal duty.
This essay argues for balanced handling of labor and capital through federation while avoiding attacks on unions or businesses. It stresses liberty, justice, and law, urges mutual understanding between employers and workers, and endorses creating a cabinet level Department of Commerce and Labor to regulate interstate corporations.
The speaker argues for elastic monetary policy to meet seasonal and regional needs, with banks as key to providing adequate circulation for commerce. He cautions against a full restructuring, but urges further legislation to ensure automatic supply for productive industries and commerce and to enable convertibility toward a gold standard.
The author advocates submitting a reciprocity treaty with Cuba to the Senate arguing closer ties benefit both nations. He praises peaceful methods over war, cites the Platt amendment, and endorses arbitration and the international tribunal at The Hague as steps toward reducing conflicts and fostering hemispheric friendship.
The United States and Mexico used The Hague court’s good offices last summer with satisfactory results in a claim between the two nations. The author hopes this case will set a precedent for others and recommends Congress consider the Hawaiian fire claims from the last session.
The text advocates immediate Isthmian canal construction at Panama with title from the French company and Colombia’s assent, plus a trans Pacific cable via Hawaii and the Philippines with conditions on rates and China link. It urges a standing policy, stronger military staff, and reorganization of the militia and national guard for unified defense and global interdependence.
On July 4, the 126th anniversary of independence, peace and amnesty were proclaimed in the Philippine Islands. Civil government has been introduced, granting broad rights and self government, with praise for the army and civil authorities for their constructive statesmanship and efforts to prevent cruelties amid insurgent and foreign pressures.
President Roosevelt urges expanded naval buildup and funding for gunnery training and prizes, warns against a weak fleet, and calls for larger Annapolis classes, faster officer promotions, and better manning. The address also covers rural free delivery growth, irrigation, Alaska, Indian policy, science in farming, and district improvements.
