Taft Urges Budget Cautions and Tariff Stabilization
President Taft outlines the 1911 fiscal plan noting a small surplus despite Panama Canal payments and debt. He warns against broad assumptions of future reductions, supports the tariff board and restrained tariff revision, calls for military spending cuts, judiciary reforms, and an eminent astronomer head of the naval observatory. The message favors extended injunction legislation and procedural changes to ease civil and criminal cases.
