WASHINGTON. May 2.-The Posts
announcement of the favorable attitude
of Theodore Roosevelt toward the Taft
administration and the first definite
news that he would hold himself in the
ranks of private citizens after his re-
turn to the United States gave political
Washington genuine thrill today and
incidentally sent shivers down the
spines of congressional insurgents
The republican congressional cam
paign committee seized at once upon
the important tidings and prepared to
SOW throughout the land the news that
the former president had stamped his
20. X" on the Taft administration.
There came out during the day corrob-
oration of the report that Roosevelt had
been keeping several of his friends and
former associates at the capital p1enti-

Praise for Knox
The president said: !:

The president said:
Il am greatly indebted to the state OF
Pennsylvania to the city of Pittsburg
and to the American club for giving
me that gentleman who sits at the head
of my cabinet table. and who. in the
exercise of ability and learning which
brought him to the head of your bar
and distinguished his service as attor-
ney general of the United States and as
a senator from Pennsylvania. has given
wise counsel of the utmost value in
guiding the course of the administra-
tion.
"As the law officer of the government
who conducted to a successful issue the
greatest of the cases in which the
meaning and limitations of the anti
trust act were considered and who by
his successful advocacy called a halt
upon the movement which threatened a
merger of all railroads in the hands Of
one syndicate, he took his place among
the statesmen of the country; and,
while respecting the rights of capital
and the great advantage of its efficient
organization. was alive to the danger to
the public wealth which lies in the
and in the abuse of the privilege OF
organization to secure private monop-
oily and excessive profit.
President Refers to Tariff
"As the head of the great state de-
partment. having in it's charge our for
eign relations. Mr. Knox has shown the
same capacity for guarding the interests
of his client. the United States, and her
people in dealing with foreign nations.
as he did in protecting their rights
against the unlawful encroachment OF
domestic combinations of capital"
The president referred to the sue
cessfuI elimination of the recent nego-
tiations under the maximum and mini
mum provisions of the new tariff law
and continued:

Knox and the state department. and has

POLITICIANS NOT IN DOUBT

There never has been any doubt here
that Roosevelt would indorse President
Taft on his return nor that he would
not personally become candidate for
Office. In other words the regulars, in
surgents and democrats have agreed
that Roosevelt was honest in his sup
port of William II. Taft and that he
would back his play for another term.
1t has not been thought seriously at
the capital that Roosevelt would be a
candidate for congress. with the speak
ership in sight: that he would try to
take Senator Depew's seat or that he
would care again to be governor of
New York. On the last named propo-
sition there has not been any doubt in
the minds of New York representatives
| in congress that Roosevelt is for Loeb.

the alleged attitude of former Presi-

ministration as expressed in letter to
President Taft is newsst to me- said

Letters Kept Private

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, the long
time friend of Roosevelt, has been in
constant communication with the for
mer executive. The letters have been
kept private. The Massachusetts SEN
ator, however. has not hesitated to say
"all is well' to his close friends who
have pressed him for a statement of
Roosevelts attitude toward President
Taft and his administration Letters
were written also to Roosevelt's son in
law. Representative Nicholas Long
worth.
Longworth said today that he knew
of no letters received in Washington
which outlined the political views of
his father In law.
LONGWORTH FOR TAFT
He told his hearers that he was
Taft man, not on the surface but
through and through, and that he was
not willing to use Tafts name as a
cloak for the support of other men and
other interests. 81 am not willing to
praise him in public and work against
him in private said the Ohio congress-
man amid the plaudits of his hearers.
The insurgents were not long this
morning in coming into possession of
the news. Republican committees pro-
posed to take every advantage of the
report concerning the attitude of for
mer President Roosevelt. and they nat
urally fell to wondering just how
significant their constituents at home
would consider the news to be.
Representative e. A. Hayes said that
nothing suited him better than to
learn that all doubt concerning the
attitude of Roosevelt had been removed
81 am behind President Taft" said
Hayes, "and I am glad to know that
Roosevelt will be on hand to boost"
No Letter to Taft
PITTSBURG. May 2.-When Presi-
dent Taft was informed today of the
story published in Washington as to
letters said to have been received by
him and was asked if he had received
any such communications from Roose-
welt, he shook his head. No., he
added.

ESCAPE T ElE
POLL TAX
MAN
RAILROAD MEN CAN AVOID THE
TAX COLLECTOR.
Not in Utah, but In Neiehboring
States, by Paying Where the
Tax Is Lowest.

Railroad employees In four states are
about to be called upon to pay poll
tax through the railroad companies,
which, like other corporations. arc
held responsible under the law ior the
pay ment ol poll tax by those in their
employ. lt Is WELL therefore, for the
man 70 benr in mind that, by paying
81 30 Poll Tax Collector A. G Harris
or to City Treasurer Farr they can
escape the tax in Nevada, Idaho or
Wyoming. where the rate Is 81 to 81
higher than In Utah One poll tax re-
celpt eXempts the holder from further
taxation of that kind for the year In
this or any other state
Trainmcn running from Ogden Mon
tello can thus escape the Nevada tax
OF SO; those going north into Idaho
can avoid the 81 poll and road tax in
that state; and those operating be-
tween here and Evanston can defcat
the 81 tax In Wyoming.
During March the railroad compan-
les made up their lists of employees
subject to poll tax Only those on the
list who have paid their tax here can
escape the higher assessment in the
peighboring states,
Last year the legislature amended
the poll tax law. changing the tax
from SO 20 81, but making the pay
ment iu cash. Prior thereto citizens
were given the option OF paying cash
or working out the amount Now all
must pay cash.
