BIG STICK TACTICS
CHARGED TO TAFT

WASHINGTON, April 2s,-Declar-
ing his Independence of any "legis-
lative program. Senator Dolltver Ire
publican. Iowa., this afternoon spoke
at length in opposition to the traffic
agreement section of the administra-
ton railroad bill.
II intend on this question, as / have
on all others, to follow the line which
consider to be right said Doliiver.
without regard to any prescribed
plan Whenever / deviate from that
course there Will be q back seat vacant
in the Senate and no artificial explana-
ton will be necessary to account for
1t.
II think it exceedingly unfortunate
that a great measure like this should
be handled as dogmatic proposition
and peremptory orders given by any
body. / have never before known
such mapping out of work OF the
various departments. 1t is unfair to
that branch of the government charg-
ed by the constitution with legislation.
1t also has the effect of making pro-
posed enactments partisan which
should never be the case In law
making.
All political prejudiees should be
q abolished said Dolliyer, when the
matter of railroad legislation is un-
dertaken. He said he respected for
mer President Roosevelt and the
present president but added: THE
word and advice OF neither should
be accepted as conclusive or binding"
