WASHINGTON, D. c., May 12.-
Will President Taft veto the tariff
bill?
With chances that he will, and a
possibility that he will not--this
question is turning Washington up.
side down.
Either way it is embarrassing for
Mr.. Taft.
A veto on the Aldrich,Cannon bill
rebukes congress and leaves the
whole tariff mess hanging in the
air.
Failure to veto puts the Taft ap
prevail on the work of congress-
work certain to be disapproved by
a large majority of the voting pop
ulation.
Congress has failed to revise the
tariff downward. Senator Aldrich
says boldly that no promise ever
was made to revise the tariff down
ward. And he quotes the repub
1ican platform In support of his con
tention
President Taft cannot fall bach
on the doubtful platform utterance
He Is on record. In his letter OF
acceptance, he said:
1.-THE tariff in a number of SEIZED
ules exceeds the difference between
the cost of production of such ar
ticles abroad and at home, includ
ing reasonable profit to the Amer
fcan producer. The excess over
the difference serves no useful pur
pose, but offers a temptation tc
those who would monopolize the
production and sale of such articles
in this country to profit by the ex
cessive rate"
In other words, the tariff needs
revising downward.
What Senator Aldrich said was
When did the republican party
make any suhc promise? The re
publican party In its platform die
not promise to revise the tariff
downward; 1t promised revision b,
fixing rates equal to the cost of pro
duction at home and abroad, and
providing a reasonable profit to the
American manufacturer"

naid was this:

THEPRoPOsED BOND ISSUE.

One week from tomorrow the
people of Robson will be called
upon to vote on the question of
whether or not bonds shall be is
sued in the sum of $4,000 per
mile for every mile of road which
may be built in the county by the
honorable South Atlantic Trans
Continental Ry., which has its
headquarters at Waynesville and
of which Col. S. A. Jones is pres
ident. Elsewhere in this issue
will be found much advertising in
regard to this proposed road. In
the petition for the election the
names of only so signers are
published. 1t is fair to say that
the petition was signed by 83
people, but when the commits
s;oners met and canvassed the
names they found the names of
only 49 freeholders, and as they
are the only ones that count in a
petition of that kind it was nec-
essary to get another man to
sign it before the election cou 4
be called. Some of those who
signed the petition regret doing
so, regret that in a thoughtless
moment they saddled upon the
county such useless expense as
holding this election, and we
have heard some of those who
signed say that they will not vote
for the bonds.
In the name of all that is prac-
tical, Why should any man in
Robson county vote for such a
bond issue? Let them build the
honorable road if they want to-;
Robson county people are not
bothering about it. We under
stand that there is not a point in
the county over 6 miles from a
railroad, and we are still of opin-
ion that the road needs the coun-
ty worse than the county needs
the road. 1t will require a ma
joritv of the registered vote of
the county to carry the bonds
and the indications are that not
many people will even bother to
vote; which is we'll, for one can
vote just as effectually against
the bond issue by not voting al
all. It is hardly worth while to
discuss it.

A Serious Situation at theCamps

Company.

wick county, folio wing tn e
wrecking of a logging train near
Makatoka Monday morning, re-
sulting in the death of a Russian
laborer and the fatal injury of
two others. 1t is thought that the
wreck was the work of squat
ters'' on the company's lands
and that opinion prevails so
strongly among the laborers that
more than a hundred of them
quit work, declining to run fur
ther risks. Mr.. Clark, general
manager of the company, says
that the "squatters", many OF
whom claim titles to the lane
which was purchased by the
company, have caused the com
pany financial loss to the extent
of thousands of dollars recently
by imbedding iron spikes in the
timber and thereby running saws
The situation is said to be a sc
rious one and bloodshed is ex
pected when the clash comes.
