THEY DlsHoNoR TAFT
TSioux CITY Tribune I


Stardpat senators assert, according
10 several eastern papers, that when
President Taft called this special ses-
sion OF congress, he promised them ne
would veto any measure Of tariff re-
vision which the progressive republic
cans ard dem ocrats might combine to
pass. They declare that mis- promise
secured for Canadian reciprocity the
support Of standpatters like Lodge,
Crane. and Penrose and they demand
that the president now keep faith with
them by vetoing the revision bills
which the coalition in congress is pass
ing.
Standpatters necessarily charge the
prosressives with slandering the presi-
dent. but no progressive has ever faith
cred so damaging an accusation against
him as this one. Such story assumes
that he would disgrace his office and
abandon all constitutional restraints
and obligations to traffic and dicker In
the lowest mire OF politics. 1t accuses
him of agreeing to misuse the veto
power to promote his own political
fortunes and to prostitute that power
to the service of the very worst ele-
ment in the political and business life
of the nation.
The veto power Is not intended to be
used in cases where the president
merely disagrees with congress as t.
the policy Of iegisla ton. 1t is con-
ferred TO prevent the enactment O!
legislation ,nanifestly in violation o.
the constitution. or legislation secured
thru the use OF improper means Or
hastily and without due consideration
legislative power Is lodged solely in
congress. Upon that body alone rests
the responsibility for legislative acts
and no blame can attach to the presi-

RAILROAD TO
BUY 100000
Ties. Puget Sound and Grays
Harbor Expect Big Slice
of Business.

SEATTLE, Feb. 15.-ApproXimately
9000,O0o ties or 3S7,000,000 feet of
lumber will be purchased in the Paci-
fic Northwest during the coming year
by the Union and Southern Pacific
railroads in dOuble-tracking the two
great transcontinental lines in accord
ed by Judge Lovett, president of the
Hartman system.
The Hartman purchasing agent has
been in the Northwest for several
days investigating tie condition of the
lumber market. Lumbermen believe
that orders for ties will be placed in
the near future in order to take ad
vantage of the low prices now pre-.
railing.
Lumber manufacturers state that
as near as they can figure, 100000
ties will be needed on the Union Pa
cific and 100000 on the Southern Pa
cfic. They estimate that the bulk Of
the business will be placed in the
Northwest. A standard tie contains
~ board feet. so if 100000 ties are
purchased approximately 3S7. .000,0oC
feet of lumber will be needed. Ties
are selling at present from $3.50 to
5000 per thousand.
InasmuCh as the bulk of the ties
will be used on the main lines Of the
Union and Southern Pacific systems
delivery, lumbermen say, will probably
be required at San Francisco or at
San Pedro. so that shipments will be
made largely by water which will en-
able Puget sound and Grayh Harbor
lumber manufacturers to compete for
the business on nearly equal terms
with the Portland mill men. Portland
manufacturers it is said are likely
to obtain the bulk of the business
along the O. W. r. d r. which is also
to be improved under the S75, 100000
expenditure.
