Letter from John C. Cutler to Theodore Roosevelt
Utah Governor Cutler praises President Roosevelt’s letter to William Henry Jackson (Honore Jaxon) and agrees with Roosevelt’s view that everyone who violates the law should be punished – representatives of labor and capital alike. He supports Roosevelt’s criticism of labor representatives as “undesirable citizens,” and his applying the same moniker to capitalists like Edward Henry Harriman who form monopolies. Cutler believes in cooperation between government and capitalists, but when railroad executives abuse their rights, they ought to be censured. He supports Roosevelt’s position on this matter and believes leaders from other states will, as well.
