This was followed by an article
written by ROBERT E.
FROTHINGHAM, advertising
director of "Everybody's Maga-

who criticised Mr.. Dockrell's de-

in celebration of Unionist victories in
the last election. Mr.. Balfour at times
Is peculiarly elusive in his utterances.
but it had been expected that he would
tonight give some indication Of the
course to be pursued by the opposition.
At the outset of his remarks he declared
that the Unionist party agreed to the
proposition that some change was tmper-
ative in the present constitutional system.
He pointed out that fiscal reforms had
not been carried by clear majority. but
he did not believe that this state Of
things would last. Radical misrepresen-
tation. he went on, had made 1t difficult
to deal with the prejudice which had
been aroused on the subjects of food and
taxation. The people must be told frank
ly that there was no intention to in
crease the cost Of living.
I'VE will submit a scheme on this
point to the people," he said. Il dare
say that some of my dearest friends will
not be in entire agreement with me when
I say the referendum should be a per-
manent part of the constitution for the
purpose of dealing with grave differences
between the two houses. ] think it
would be almost impossible to exclude
from it's purview certain great questions.
but in an enormous number of cases it
would be folly to resort to the machinery
of the referendum"
Referring to the question Of reciprocity.
he said:
''The result has often been foretold.
and now that it has come upon US we. as
a nation, cannot complain. The fault lies
with the party which has systematically
misrepresented the whole case, but while
there is life there is hope. We who hold
the fiscal faith. the true imperial belief.
have a clear duty to perform. Let those
who agree with us upon the other side
of the Atlantic know that our faith is
unwavering and unchanged"
With this Mr.. Balfour concluded. So
far as indicating even in the slightest
way the course to be pursued by the
opposition at the present momentous
session. he was as elusive as ever. But
ne did not say a word that might place
the slightest difficulty in the way OF
compromise. thus enabling the corona
tion to be celebrated without the shadow

KING IN HIS SPEECH
MENTIONS VETO BILL
Colorless as Possible and Omissions More Notice
able Than Contents Criticised by Lansdowne

London. Feb. Git is obvious that the
Kings speech this afternoon was made
as colorless as possible. Its omissions
were more noticeable even than its con-
tents. OF course, mention of the veto
bill could not be avoided, and though
Lord Lansdowne, in the upper house.
indulged in some criticism of that por-
ton of the speech, MIR. Balfour. in the
House Of Commons, admitted that the
announcement concerning the proposed
veto was couched in studiously moderate
language.
1t may be impossible, when the COM
position of the governments majority
is considered, to tide matters over until
after the coronation without an absolute
crisis, but the wording of the Kings
speech. combined with Mr. Balfour's
words. indicate a desire on both sides to
avoid this.
AS for the rest. the omission OF any
mention of the reciprocity agreement
between the United States and Canada
was quickly noticed and commented
upon in both houses. 1t can be seen.
however. that any reference to the agree
ment was unlikely. 1t is thorny Ques-
ton, and one that the government wishes
to evade until after the imperial con-
ference.
For the rest the speech made no men,

Of Parliament. home rule. or the dis
establishment of the Welsh Church, three
questions that have of late been in the
very forefront Of political controversy
All these matters apparently were bumped
In clause. the nature of which has not
heretofore been seen in speeches from the
throne. This clause merely said that
other measures would be introduced as
time and opportunity might allow.

That the people of Arizona will approve
Thursday by popular election the radical
State constitution, which was adopted by
their constitutional convention on Octo-
Der 10, was practically admitted yesterday
in Washington by men who hope to see
the document defeated
But when the people have approved,
it must pass President Taft and Con-
Eress What chance it had to get by
those two powers is thought to have
been completely killed by the incorpora-
tion in the constitution of a referendum
and recall clause, which even includes
every judge in the State.
The Presidents determined opposition to
any measure that is designed to sap the
foundation of the judiciary makes it ap-
parent that he will refuse to sign the
Arizona constitution.
Opposed by President.
Mr.. Taft's friends make no conceal
ment of the fact that a judiciary recall
provision in the Arizona constitution is
most distasteful to him. and that there
is no chance of the document receiving
his signature with this provision in It.
The refusal of the President to sign
the constitution would undoubtedly mean
that a new constitutional convention
WOulQ nave 10 De called. l. nder the law
admitting Arizona to the Union, her con-
stitvtion is to be approved by both the
President and Congress.
President Taft expressed his views on
constituton-making when he was in Ati-
zona and in New Mexico in the fall Of
1909. Speaking at Phoenix. he said:
IF by a caution I can restrain the
desire Of those who are most full of
the idea of having limitations on govern
ment from making the constitution other
than fundamental law, with simple
rules of limitation; if / can halt and
induce the people Of this State to take
time and deliberate over the instrument
that is to follow them so long in the
history of their State. / shall not have
let the day go without profit.
The ratification of the work of the
constitutional convention in Arizona is
expected to be brought about by the COM
bination of Democratic and Socialist
votes, the two parties having mingled
with one another. On the other hand, it is
stated that of sixteen daily papers in the
State only four of wide circulation are
in favor Of the constitution, and that
of those opposed four are among the
most influential and widely circulated
Democratic organs in Arizona

suit means that the reciprocity agree
ment will pass the House by a big ma
jority.
Paper manufacturers from Northern
New York beseged the Ways and Means
Committee Of the House yesterday in op-
position to the Canadian agreement. They
objected, Of course, t. the contemplated
lifting Of the duty on print paper. 1t
appeared yesterday. F. NJ. Hugo. had ap-
peared before the committee two years
ago In opposition to any reduction on
print paper.
They wanted to know of him why it
was that the price of print paper is
higher to-day Than it was before the duty
was reduced by the Payne-Aldrich act. to
the extent of SIS a ton. They reminded
MIR. Hugo that the paper makers at that
time pleaded that they were going to be
ruined by tariff reductions. and yet 1t had
turaed out that they had sustained the
reduction and paper is selling higher to-
day than before the lowering of the du-
ties.
Now Normal state.
Mr.. Hugo replied that the law Of sup
ply and demand regulated the price: also
that before the tariff went into effect the
price of paper was artificially depressed
on account Of fear Of tariff reduction,
and had now resumed its normal state.
Furthermore, Canadian restrictions, ac-
cording to the witness. had had some
thing to do with II.
Il reckon you fellows have artifcialty
fixed the price among yourselves"
grumbled Champ Clark. It's q case Of
trusts again.
Representative Fordney protested
against this surmise. calling attention to
the fact that although the duty had
been taken of hides. the price of shoes
had advanced.
We'll. that's the leather trust" said
Mr.. Clark.
1t was brought out in the hearing yes
terday morning that since the operation
OF the new tariff law the importation Of
Canadian paper into the United States
had increased from nothing to about 500
tons a month, and yet the price had
gone up.
1t was also shown that paper was
icing exported to Canada: that about
100000 pounds a year were exported to
foreign countries and sold at a less price
than is obtained in this country. That
practice was stoutly defended by the
paper men. who declared they would con-
tinue the practice of holding their mar
kcts as long as the American Congress
treated them as 1t has been doing and
threatens to do.
The paper men insisted that a tariff is
necessary because Of the difference in
the cost Of production on this side and
in Canada. and to give us the reason
