CONSERVATION HIS THEME

Declares Chief Executive Should Have
Unquestloned Authority to Withdraw
Lands for Power Sites and Other
Purposes-Hints That He May Veto
Railroad Bill if Passed in Emascu-
lated Form.
st. Louis, May 5-Addressing q
joint meeting of the Farmers union
and the people of ST Louis at the Coli
scum President Taft devoted himself
to technical discussion of the SUBJ
iect Of conservation, almost the du-
plicate of his Chicago speech March
II. He declared the term covered a
wide range of subjects.
But as concerns congress at this
time" he added, conservation re-
solves itself into the necessity of pass
ing at once the bill which will give to
the executive unquestioned authority
to withdraw lands for power sites and
other purposes. With this power in
the hands of the president of the
United States we can sit comfortably
by and discuss and devise the best
means OF disposing of the great public
domain to the benefit of present and
future generations"
The first great subject of conserva-
tion, he declared, had to do with hu-
| man life. In this connection he again
| urged the establishment of a national
bureau of health
River and Harbor Improvement.
Speaking Of the Improvement of riv.
ers and harbors President Taft stated
anew his position that movers for the
deep waterways, lakes to the gulf plan,
| must show him" to get his support
for plan he now disapproved.
ANY waterway Improvement which
is found worthy" said the president
| should be pat through as economical.
| ly and as quietly as possible. But a
waterway bill ought not to constitute
a pork barrel or be passed for the pur.
pose of re-electing members of con,
| gress."
The possibility of veto of the rail
| road bill as it will come from congress
in an emasculated form was suggested
to President Taft here. The presiden,
| said he would go over the bill careful
| ly, and his future action would depend
entirely on the shape in which the
measure finally passed.
