Unified national program for rivers, coal, and public reform
The document calls for centralized executive control of merchant shipping, federal regulation of coal industry, and stronger state cooperation on prohibition enforcement. It urges continued development of inland waterways, river systems including the Great Lakes St. Lawrence and Mississippi, and coordinated interstate planning for irrigation and power. It also stresses civil service reform, federal personnel retirement planning, and equal rights for all citizens, warning against bigotry and urging humane treatment of African Americans.
