at the door of the assessors, claiming
they do not assess rich men high

some lively selling, but the pressure soon

TAFrs ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

In those alleged Republican quar-
ters where so much unjust criticism
has been heaped on President Taft a
disposition is already making its ap-
pearance to characterize his admin
istration as total failure because the
prospects do not seem bright for con-
gressional action on every measure of
reform that Mr.. Taft has advocated.
Noses are turned up at the announce
ments from Washington that possibly,
the amendments to the interstate
commerce act, the postal savings
bank bill, the anti-injunction PROPOSE
lions, the statehood bills and some
conservation measures, are the only
important pieces of legislation that
stand a chance of being enacted into
law.
The same newspapers and politi-
clans who are insisting that these
things will not be much in the way
of accomplishments for President
Taft are the very ones which are lend
ing their support to this Back from
Elba' movement, either openly or
covertly. They would have Colonel
Roosevelt return from abroad by way
of the Golden Gate, engage in a
VI TRIUMPH lTOAu lLl6 10
the Atlantic, and thereby assure" the
elimination of President Taft from the
next presidential campaign.
But if the legislative program men
toned above is acted favorably upon
| by congress, as there seems no doubt
it will be, President Taft will have &C
complished more for the country in
the first year of his administration in
the way of needed legislation that the
people have been demanding than did
Colonel Roosevelt during the whole
seven years of his incumbency in the
presidential office. This may strike
some persons as being a questionable
statement but it is a fact nevertheless.
It almost demonstrates its own accur-
acy, for if Colonel Roosevelt had had
any success in getting legislation on
any of his own policies" they would
not have been left as a legacy to the
Taft administration. Colonel Roose-
Welt did a wonderful work for his ma
ton by pointing out evils that existed
in it and which needed corrective leg
islation, and by rousing the people of
the land to appreciate the need of
such legislation, but he did not get
any of that legislation enacted into
law. He said himself that Taft was
a better man than he was for this
work and the evidences are multiply
ing that this judgment of Colonel
Roosevelt was sound.
And, indeed, it is safe to bet dollars
to doughnuts that as soon as Mr.
Roosevelt gets within speaking dis
lance of home after he has familiar
. lied himself wit hthe conditions exist
