Final Issue to Come.

The ministry, Mir Churchill said would
regard the destruction Of the budget as
mortal blow. They attached an impor-
lance To it secondly only To that Of the
veto bill. They would further regard its
defeat as a Vindication of the unconsti-
tuuOnal action of the house of lords.
The government ne continued, was
bound to bring to a final issue its policy
Of dealing with the house of lords and for
the abolition of the absolute veto power
Of the second chamber. If there were to
be d crisis and deadlock. however they
could not come too soon. The policy of
the government was to place the pro-
pOsalS before the house so that the de-
CiSiOn Of the members might be taken
thereon.
James keir Hardie president Of the In
dependent Labor party. protested against
any attempted reconstruction of the house
of lords, as the LabOrites, he said, did
not believe merely in destroying the veto
power of the lords, a relic OF feudalism.
and an insult and outrage upon demOC-
racy. But, as the Labor party could not
get its own way they would accept the
second best course and support the gov
eminent i'm getting rid of the veto.
He hoped that the government would
make the passage of the budget COntin-
gent upon the veto bills going through
and he urged the government to refuse
the supply as a means of forcing the lords
to agree To the abolition of their own
power of veto.

Caution the Watehword,

Negotiations are now proceeding be

aVerting a crisis until the budget Is
adopted. and some progress has been
made with the veto resolutions.

Churchill declared in the house of com
mons today that the cabinet would stake
its whole existence upon the passage Of
the veto bill. and he promised that
resolution embOdying its principles would
be brought forward at the earliest posi-
bic moment He did not think any re-
sponsibte member would recommend that
the house exercise its power of refusing
the necessary supplies. To attempt to
compel q constitutional change by that
means would, in the Judgment Of the gov
eminent, expose them to a swift and
binding catastrophe.

ONLY THREE COURSES OPEN.
MR. TAFT'S MESSAGE
Continued from first page.

gestion that II would afford refuge for
corporations amenable to the Sherman
antitrust law he meets by calling atten-
ton to the fact that his proposition con-
templates that such federal corporations
shall be equally amenable TO that law.
To those who believe all trusts should be
completely broken up Mr.. Taft says that
great combinations which do not consti-
tute a monopoly have their legitimate
functions and should be permitted to
carry on their business under the law.
Those which do constitute a monopoly
he would continue to prosecute under the
Sherman law.
To those who doubt the constitution
ality of his proposition Mr.. Taft asserts
his confidence that abundant authority
is delegated to the federal government
under the commerce clause of the Con-
stitution. He declares this has been af-
firmed with respect to railroad compa-
nies and interstate bridges, and he sug-
gests that the seemingly contradictory
decision in the knight. or Sugar Trust.
case was due to "the narrow scope OF
the pleadings." whereas a recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court would seem
to affirm the power of the federal gov
ernment TO authorize the manufacture
of goods. probably referring to the Dan
bury hatterS' case.
The objection that the worst trusts
will not accept voluntary federal incor-
pOration Mr.. Taft answers with the ar
gument that they must resolve them
selves into their component parts with
great consequent loss. or must attempt
by secret agreement TO violate the stat
ute and thus risk criminal prosecution.
or they must reorganize IN good faith
under the federal charter he proposes.
There is every indication that a ma
jority. if not all. of Mr. Taft's interstate
commerce recommendations will be en-
acted at this session. II is hardly ex-
pected. even by the President and his
advisers, that provision for federal in
corporation will be made this year. but
the impression prevails very generally
that Mr.. Taft's recommendations on this
subject will receive much earnest con-
sideration. and that out of the discus
sion will come wise legislation largely in
accordance with his suggestions

Recovery Follorcs Brief Slump
after Receipt of Message.

For short time after the publication OF
the Presidents message TO Congress yes-
terday prices on the stock market took
a downward trend, but there was no de-
cded slump, and a stronger tone soon de-
veloped. and at the close most OF ths
active issues showed fractional net gains
for the day. and final prices in the entire
list were, with few exceptions. well sooVs
the low point OF the day.
The message. as a whole, was favoraoiy
received in Wall Street. although IN some
quarters there was tendency 70 grumbis
over the prospects Of further legislation
of any kind against railroads and other
large corporations Those holding this view
took the ground that what the country
needed more than anything else was a long
rest from new laws of any sort Railroad

railroads, but they made objection 20

There was a divergence OF opinion on the
question of a federal charter for corpora

be harmful. while others said that the plan
offered the only solution OF existing prob

the stock market was attributed 10 the szcr
