washington, Jan. lin his address be-
tore the National Civic Federation this
morning President Taft made clear. 70
'houghtrul persons at least. the inaccuracy
OF those writer's who have depicted the
Chief Executive as bent on acquiring for
the federal government constantly aug
mented powers Incidentally. moreover.
Mr. Taft took occasion to point out how
greatly misunderstood were the remarks of
Senator Root, made some time ago. when
ne warned the states that failure on their
part to exercise the functions they enjoyed
must inevitably result in a disposition TO
enlarge the authority OF the federal govern
ment Mr.. Taft said that those who
ascrloed TO Mr.. Root a desire for radical
Capitalization wholly misunderstood the
New York Senator and he might have
added that the same is true Of himself
he took occasion TO point out various di-
rections in which the states by co-operatfon
ana uniformity of statute might check the
tendency TO look to Washington for re-
medal legislation He declared that under
The Constitution the government of the
United States could not accomplish all re-
forms, and that there is a heavy burden
oil responsibility on the several states He
cited the case OF conservation of natural
can accomplish even more than the national
government
Tomorrow the President will address the
first session of the convention of governors
OF states and territories who are to hold
three days conference in Washington
Ihlrty governors are expected and il is
further expected that a permanent organi-
zation TO be known as the Board OF Gov
ernors. 10 meet annually at the national
capital. will be the outcome of this years
meeting. Mr. Taft is responsible for the
fact that the governors are to hold their
convention simultaneously with that of the
Civic Federation, and he is extremely hope
ful that out of these meetings will come
highly important and farreaching results
He Is convinced that work of the utmost
benefit in connection with conservation can
be promoted by the state executives, 10
whom he will personally explain his views
Governor Hughes is chairman OF the COM
mittee on programme for the governors
meeting
The definite announcement made in The
Tribune this morning that Governor Hughes
will not again be candidate for reelection
has aroused the utmost interest in Wash
ington- 1t has elected many eulogies Of the
Governor and has caused renewed interest
in the political speculation regarding the
Empire state New York politicians are
not disposed 20 discuss the announcement
extensively for publication, as they say it
will take some time for them to formulate
their views, but practically all acknowledge
that Mr.. Hughes's administration has set

those interested in rhe last national cam
paign the splendid service rendered by New
York's Governor whose speeches in support
of Mr.. Taft made thousands OF votes
throughout the country.
The statement made by Representative
Hitchcock, Of Nebraska, before the House
Committee on Expenditures in the Interior
Department to-day. is typical of the char
acter of the attacks being made on officials
Of that department. Mr.. Hitchcock's ex-
travagant assertions, made recently on the
floor of Congress- led the House organiza-
ton to call his bluff" and he was asked
to make good before the committee named.
Taking THE precaution to preface his re-
marks with a declaration that he had only
rumors to present, the Nebraslzan cited pos
sbly dozen such reports, of which ten are
false on their face, and of which the remain
Ing two will doubtless be proved equally
unwarranted on investigation. 1t will no
doubt be said that, being a Democrat, Mr..
Hitchcock was warranted in availing him

members of the House, even of his own
party. who regard his course with con-
