Raps Taft's Vetoes.

True President Taft, exercising
ruthlessly power which King
George v could not exercise without
being driven out CT three kingdoms,
vetoed not only our farmers free
list bill and our tariff bills, but
also the joint resolution admitting
Arizona and New Mexico.
The presidents veto of the state
hood resolution was made upon
doubtful constitutional authority AT
ter an enabling act is passed and
after territory, in conformity there
with, has adopted a constitution pro
viding Republican form of gov
eminent, she is entitled to admis-
sion.
In his veto the president claims
that the principal point at issue was
the recall, particularly the recall of
judges. He is entirely mistaken. He
raised a far greater and more far
reaching question, and took the
wrong side of it, and that is whether
a state has the right to adopt for
itself such constitution as it desires,
subject, of course, to the constitu-
ton of the United States, and pro-
vided it establishes for itself by
it's constitution a republican form of
government"

on the faces of the sneerers.
We did not pass the reciprocity
bill to please President Taft, but
because it will help to lower the
tariff. Defective as it is, the reel
procity bill is step in the right
direction - that is, in the direction
of reducing the high protective tariff
