Roosevelt Defends Secret Service Use Against Congress
President Roosevelt rebukes a December 1908 resolution challenging the secret service's reach in the Treasury and calls for keeping and expanding a centralized detective force. He cites land and contract fraud prosecutions, beef trust work, and naturalization cases as proof of effective crime suppression and warns that curtailment would aid criminals.
