SPECIAL NOTICE.
FRIDAY, JUNE IS, 1909,

1t is an unfortunate provision of
the federal constitution which makes
it impossible for the President to
veto certain items in an appropriation
bill without disappearing the entire
bill. This lack of power has led
many a President to approve a meas
ure containing number of improper
provisions because it was important
to the country that the entire bill
should not fail. Most of the states
authorize their governors to veto in
dividual items in the appropriation
bills or budgets, and in some of
them there is even complaint that
the Governor has not the power to
cut down without striking out indi'
vidual items. Unfortunately, appar.
emily, the trainers of the constitution
too greatly feared increasing the
power of the executive to prevent
their comforting this power on him.

If Mr.. Taft succeeds in securing
from Congress tariff bill which he
can conscientiously sign without a
quarrel, he will have achieved the
first great victory Of his administra-
ton. All the powers of Republican
ism, the Republicanism Of the old
school, of Aldrich and Cannon, of
Hanna and Quay and Platt, are ar
rayed against him and yet he is conf
dent that without any clash Of arms
he will achieve his purpose as is well
shown by his sending his Secretary
of the Treasury to Chicago to assure
the middle west that the tariff revis-
ion will be of such character as to
satisfy their demands. How Mr..
Taft expects to accomplish his pur-
pose probably no man knows. He is
taking no one into his confidence but
with his CHEEKY optomism he main
tains his faith and those who know
him best are willing to believe that
now as in the past, he will achieve a
victory and achieve it smiling.

The Republican leaders in Con-
gress, having been unable thus far to
secure enough votes to make certain
the defeat of the income tax PROPOSE
ton are now considering the advis-
ability of offering an amendment pro-
viding for tax of 2 per cent on the
dividends of corporations as sub
stitute. Such tax would undoubted-
ly be popular. There would seem to
be little excuse for taxing the in
comes of individuals in preference
to the profits of corporations and we
doubt if a majority of the Senate, or
even of the House, would care to
have to explain to their constituents
why they voted for an income tax in
preference to the tax on corporation
dividends. The President first sug
gested the corporation tax and is un
derstood greatly to prefer it to the
income tax.

The President has determined on a
policy of economy in the public ex-
penditures which cannot but prove
beneficial to the nation, but there is
grave question in the minds of all
but himself whether Congress will be
willing to cooperate. The spectacle
of congress refusing to abolish useless
and expensive pension agencies be-
cause they afford jobs for importunate
constituents has recurred year after
year. The same is true of useless
custom houses. The same is true of
the receivers in the public land Of
fees and of many other offices which
have grown obsolete and which econ
omy demands shall be abolished.
Truly no thoughtful man can survey
the tasks which the President has
set himself without wondering if it
will be possible for him to escape an
open rupture with the national legis-
lature as it is now constituted.

early residents of Perrysburg, died at

after "a long and painful illness.
She was a sister of James and
Maurice Cook and half sister of
Mrs. John Webb of this place.

There is many man whose words
rise up to plague him and we
cannot but wonder If that is not true,
to some extent at least of President
Taft. When Mr.. Taft was delivering
his speech of acceptonce at Cincin-
natl last July, he defined the rights
of labor, saying that laboring men
had the right to strike so long as they
did not use violence, that they had
the right to pursuade their fellow
worlSmen to join their unions so long
as they did not exert duress in SO do
ing. Now the fremen Of the Georgia
railroad have struck. The road

President Taft is entering in good
faith on a system of economy which
will save the country many millions
of dollars if Congress will do its
part. There are some sceptics who
point to the fact that every admins
tration has been inaugurated with a
burst of economy but that the policy
has soon been abandoned and forgot
ten. The system of economy under
taken by the Taft administration de-
serves more, however, than dismis-
sal on this ground. The President
has appointed a subcommittee of the
cabinet to supervise the estimates
for federal expenditures which are
submitted to Congress at the begin
ming of each session and under the
supervision Of this committee mem
bers of the cabinet are required to
hold down their estimates to certain
fixed figures. The secretary of the
navy, for instance has cut his esti'
mates to be submitted to Congress in
December $10,000,000 below the ex
penditures for the current year. The
secretary of war has been asked to
cut 100000 off the army budget il
possible and to cut off $20,0OO,O00 at
the least The new cabinet is doing
it's part but when the estimates un
der this system are submitted tc
Congress they will provide only fol
those things which are actually need
ed. Then will arise the interesting
question, What will Congress do will
the estimates? If Congress follows its
custom it will cut out number o.
essentials and insert large number
of non-essentials which are useful il

/; tives For instance, provision vii

such and such navy yard so that a
many men as possible in Represents
tive somebody else's district can b
employed on the eve of election, an
so on. Then in order to prevent tn
total from exceeding the estimates
some absolutely necessary items vii
be cut out. If Congress pursue tha
course the efforts of the administra
tion to cut down expenses will NEE
with such encouragement that the,
will be abandoned and the old praC
tice of asking for four battleships, TO
instance, in order to get two will b.
reverted to. Under the circumstance
Congress will be blamed as a who'll
but will the people who judge of tn
usefulness of their Congressman b,

he secures for the local factory b

OF Interest to Farmers and Me-
chanics.

Farmers and mechanics frequently
meet with slight accidents and in
jurles which cause them much annoy
ance and loss OF time. A cut or
bruise may be cured in about one
third the time usually required by
applying Chamberlain's Liniment as
soon as the injury is received. This
liniment is also valuable for sprains,
soreness of the muscles and rheu-
matte pains. There is no danger OF
blood poisoning resulting from an In
jury when Chamberlain's Liniment is
applied before the parts become In
famed and swollen. For sale by @.

for His Inquiry.

Officers have a right to ask ques-
lions in the performance of their duty,
but there are occasions when 1t seems
as if they might curtail or forego the
privilege, suggests Youths Compan-

hand had been badly mangled in an
accident entered the Boston city hos
pital relief station in great hurry.
He stepped up to man in charge
and inquired:
rs this the relief station, sor?"
yes What is your name?"
Patrick O'Connor, sor.
Are you married?' questioned the
officer.
"Yis, sor, but is this the relief sta
tion?" He was nursing his hand in
agony.
"Of course Il is. How many chill
dren have you?"
Eight, sor But, sure, this is the
relief station%
yes, it is" replied the officer, a
little angry at the mans persist
ence.
