MAY VISIT WEST
President Taft Has Not Entirely Aban.
d0ned Plans for Trip.

Washington, March 27.-President
Taft has not abandoned entirely a
proposed trip to the west this sum-
mer. He has not taken up the subject
for final determination, and will not
do SO until he gets some definite idea
as to the length of the extra session
of congress.
The president has been urged by a
numbe rof western representatives to
visit Nebraska, Utah, Colorado. Cali
fornia and Washington. and he has
had in mind trip to Alaska. The
expense of these trips would be enor-
nous, however. and would draw heav-
lily upon the presidents salary. The
salary was increased from $4,000 to
$4,000 at the last session of congress,
but the $4,000 fund provided for
travelling expenses during the Roose-
welt administration was cut off. The
increase of salary does not take effect
until July 1, the president having
been required to bear the entire ex-
pense of his recent trip to New York
and New Haven.
