Canadian Reciprocity Fought by II
and American Manufacturers
of Print Paper
PEOPLE BUNCOED BY
SPECIAL INTERESTS
President Taft Says Some Plain
Things in Speech Made at Chi
cago Before Western Economic
Society Saturday

CHICAGO. June 3.--President Taft
in a speech before the Western Econ
omic society here tonight, declared
that the principal opposition to the
Canadian reciprocity agreement came
not from farmers, but the lumber
trust and from American manufac-
turers of print paper.
In ne of the most conspicuous adj
dresses thas he has made on the
subject, the president outlined som Z
of the methods employed by advo-
Gates of reciprocity agreemnts. He
practically told the people they were
being "buncoed" by special interests
and said that the result depended not
so much upon the United States
senate as upon the people.
The president was not sparing in
his words and declared that in spite
@ fthe forces that are arraigned
would be passed.
Bill VIII BE Passed
"The bill" he said. will be passed
If it passed at ALL because the force
of public opinion is in its favor" He
said that he hoped Hhe bill would be
brought before the senate the com

pert knowledge of the subject were
appointed, and after investtg ga tons

an entire year. an agreement was
finally reached which has been en-
bodied in the bill whish has passed
the house and Is pending in the

"The cordial approval throughout
the country which the proposed

I'VE were lying becalmed one day Off

up to blow about two miles away.

in so that they couldn't strike the

An Honest Man Who Paid His Tax.

An Honest Man Who Paid His Tax.
The personal property tax is A. j..
Nock's subject in the February Amer
lean Magazine. He points out that the
United States is the only great nation
where such laws have not been abol-
ished that the successful operation of
the law is impossible, and that they are
the worst tax laws known in the civil
lied world, putting premium on dis
honesty and debauching the public con-
science. Mr.. Mock as an Illustration to
one OF the points he makes, tells the
following amusing and at the same time
amazing story:
"The state of Michigan attaches the
customary horrible penalties to false
or incomplete return, and makes use Of
an explicit listing system mot penaliz-
ing empty beer kegs, ! believe, although
the prohibition tendency in Michigan Is
pretty strong just now. A friend Of
mine married and settled in thriving
Michigan town; and presently the as
SCISSOR called and left a blank with the
solemn admonition to list his personal
property for assessment.
He made an honest return of every
thing he bad at valuations that were
absolutely just, to the best OF his lnowl-
edge and belief He was assessed ac-
cordingly and paid his tax bill without
comment.
When the tax bin was published
however. he observed with interest that
he was not only paying the largest tax
bill in town. but that he was paying
more personal taxes than al the rest
Of the people in town put together
Aware that he was poorer than many
OF his neighbors, he naturally felt it
was an imposition. and made fuss
about it. His townsmen sympathized,
but what was to be done Grievance
day was past, he was assessed on his
own sworn statement his tax bill had
been paid, aud there was no legal way
Of getting the situation reviewed ex
post facto
Finally it occurred to some ngeui-
Gus soul that the town council might
make special appropriation, and re-
bate him on his tax bill up to an amount
that the current, general sense Of equity
would regard as right; and this, in
credible as it seems, was actually DONE
