Associated Students of Columbia col

Wheat is ErratiC
Most of the Day

CHICAGO, Mar. 1S.-Wheat was err
ratio the greater part of the session
but the volume of trading was not
large. A further break in corn prices,
liberal primary receipts and an extrem-
ely slack demand for flour in the north
west offset the effect of additional
crop damage reports. The market dis
played it's greatest strength on open
ing transactions which were at gains
of a shade to 12@5Sc. During the
day May sold between Slip rs and
$1,12 Is, while June ranged between
$1.O7 IL and $1.O6 SIS. At the close
prices were almost on the lowest level
Final quotations on May and July were
in each case 1-S@1-4c below the prev

senate. He said he hoped it would
pass the house and he felt the enact
ment of the bill would prove the worth
of the institution.
Thinks Banks Will Be Helped.
In the end he predicted that instead
of hurting the banking business it
would improve it.
Next the president discussed the So
called anti-injunction bill. THAT to
me- he said, presents some aspects
that would be discouraging to a per-
son less optimistic than /. Our friend
Gompers and the American Fedora
ton of Labor are opposed to the bill
because they do not think it goes far
enough. Our friend VanCleave and
the Manufacturers association are OPP
posed because they say it will ham
string the courts and prevent them
| from giving needed relief. The truth
of the matter is the bill is one Of
reasonable provisions and it carries
out the platform to the letter.
Tired of Consulting Interests.
Il am tired fairly shouted the
/ president, amid storm of cheers, "of
| consulting particular interests, to see
whether or not a thing ought to go
| through. 1 am in favor of consulting
every interest to see what its argu-
ment may be and want to give JUS
! tice to every interest. l want to know
if thing is right. If it is right, we
can convince the people it is right
and they will be with u.s.
In speaking of the conservation
measures, the president said he hoped
congress at this session would at least
dent specific authority to withdraw
| lands from public entry until such
time as congress can adopt laws for
their proper disposition.
| The president discussed the various
problems of practical conservation, the
question of the proposed lease of coal
lands, power sites, etc. Experimental
| laws would have to be passed, he
! thought to be strengthened if found
| too lenient or made less drastic, if
found to shut out capital.
Mr.. Taft told story of President
Eliot of Harvard, who, after accept
ing the leadership in a conservation
movement, came to the White House
one day and said:
Mr. President, 1 have been looking
into this conservation business and
find there are some problems in it
that have not been solved and are
So intricate it is going to take a lot
of time and thought to solve them"
Il quite agreed with him. declared

ROCHESTER,, n Y March 49,
President Taft tonight, in an address
before the Rochester Chamber OF
Commerce, again appealed to MEM
bers of congress to sacrifice their IN
diyiduaI opinions that the platform
promises of the republican party
might be fulfilled and hoped the party
would show that it has 1.-The sense
and the discipline to meet its respon-
sibilitieS."
The impression had got abroad that
the president might have something
to say tonight on the acute situation
in the house of representatives at
Washington, but this was his nearest
reference to the subject. AT one point
Of his speech, which was devoted en-
tirely to the legislation he had rec
commended in the last few months the
president further declared:
IF this congress is to be treated as
n republican congress, these things
ought to pass in fulfillment of party
pledges. After this is done, it does
not matter what happens at the next
election. We will have done some
thing; the country will be grateful
whether it thinks it ought to express
this gratitude in the immediate flu
ture or not"
Applause Is Frequent.
Mr.. Taft constantly was interrupt
ed by applause, and when, toward the
end of his remarks. he declared with
great emphasis. he had tried as presl-
dent, to do what he believed was
right rather than those things that
would bring political strength, the
audience of nearly 1000 business mer
stood up and chs cred for several min
Gtes- The president spoke with great
earnestness throughout He declared
he had been told he was no politician
and dire things had been predicted
He believed. however. in the end the
people would find the measures rec
commended to congress were right ant
that right. after all. was the very bes
Of politics.
Mr.. Taft's greeting tonight was tn,
most demonstTative he has had in hi:
recent travels. He was followed a.
a speaker at the banquet by Prssiden
w. c. Brown of the New York Contra
railroad, who paid glowing tribut,
to Mr.. Taft and told of the progress,
and stability that had come to tn,
business world since his Inaugural
ton.
Sums Up Bad influences.
President Taft summed up thu
things he declared had caused som,
OF his advisers to characterize hin
as a bad politician.
First, he said. there was the tariff
and a new tariff bill always defeats
party.
Second had come the corporation
tax. bringing with il the enm.ty o
everybody directly or indirectly inter
ested in the more than 400 goo cor

Taft Urges Keeping
Of the Party Faith

bad politics because it arrayed all
the magazines and periodicals against
the administration
Four congress only reduced the
duty on print paper 80 per cent, in
stead of putting it on the free list.
This offended the newspapers.
And last of all the postal savings
bank bill had turned all the bankers
against the administration.
Evils Feared Do Not Come.
So he continued my friends
don't see just where we are coming
out But l am confident in the end
the measures will approve themselves.
The troubles We most fear are those
that never come. The measures prom
ised ought to be adopted, not because
they will give US political strength,
but because they are right And if
they are right, the people will find
them to be right and that it is the
best politics in the end.''
The president referred to the meas
ures he hoped congress would adopt
at this session in the following order:
The bill amending the interstate
commerce law.
The bill for postal savings banks.
The anti-injunction bill
The statehood bill.
| The conservation bills.
After he had explained briefly the
provisions of these measures the pres
ident continued:
"One great difficulty about being
president. and / assure you there are
a great many of them, is, he is the
titular hsad of the party and is made
responsible for the laws adopted by
the party although he has had moth
ing more to do with them than a rec
concentration at the beginning and the
power of veto at the end. He is held
responsible for the promises made by
the party.
And if in his enthusiasm and de-
sire to fulfill the party pledges-and
to help the country, as he thinks
he goes about and consults all the
interests so as to recommend a fail
law and makes suggestions to con-
gross and some congressman differ
with him, he is held up as tryant
trying to force his views down the
threats of unwilling congressman ant
unwilling senators.
AIT IN 6do FIX.
And so he is in a bad fix. Or
the one hand it is said of him he is
not doing what he ought to do and
on the other hand he is trying tc
brighten an unwilling congress to dc
what it does not want to do
But this is a government of party
