Why Roosevelt vetoed II.

In order that 1t may be understood
just how sharp the issue Will be made
between Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt, IL
the former signs the bill, 1t Is worth
while to quote from the Roosevelt veto
message:
TO give away, without conditions.
this, one of the greatest of our re.
sources, would be an act Of folly. II
we are guilty of 1t, our children will be
forced to pay an annual return upon a
capitalization based upon the highest
prices which the traffic will bear.
They will find themselves face to face
with powerful interests intrenched
behind the doctrine of vested rights
and strengthened by every defense
which money can buy and the ingenu
ity of able corporation lawyers can
devise"
In Mr.. Roosevelt's veto of the meas
ure he spoke of the great combinations
formed to control water power for the
development of electric currents. He
sa4 that an astonishing consolidation OF
the interests has taken place within
the last five years, and that while the
movement is still in its infancy. un.
less 1t is controlled. the history of the
OF. industry (meaning the Standard Oil
operations), will be repeated in the
hydro-electric power industry, and that
the results would be far more oppres-
siye and disastrous for the people"
t can be readily understood from
the tone of Mr. Roosevelt's veto why
1t Is that the conservationists and also
the friends of the James River dam bill
are awaiting with extreme interest the
acton of President Taft when this bill
is brought to him for sanction or for
veto.
