JUDICIARY
RECALL IS
THE REASON
President Says It IS Menace to
.Af Frse Government
Gives Majority an UnreaSOn-
able Power
Republicans Applaud Message
Democrats Silent

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 1S-Press-
dent Taft, In a special message to the
house OF representatives today vetoed
the joint resolution for the admission
of New Mexico and Arizona 20 state
hood.
His reason for exercising the execu-
tive power OF veto was based on his
thorough disapprovaI Of the recall OF
judges clause In Arizona constitution.
The fact that New Mezico's statehood
was bound with that Of Arizona Tueted
out TO her the same fate and neither
territory can come into the union az
this time. unless the friends Of the
joint resolution In congress can mus
ter the two-thirds vote necessary to
pass the resolution over the presa-
dents veto. This may be attempted.
The president did not spare words IN
condemning the recall feature OF the
Arizona constitution which, he said,
would compel judges to make their
decision under legalized terrorism"
The recall provision would operate
against all the elective officers of
Arizona, including both county and
state judges. When IS per cent Of the
voters of the previous election petit
toned for a special election to remove
an official such election would be CONF
pulsory.
"This provision OF the Arizona con-
stitution," the president says, "in it's
application to county and state judges
seems to me so pernicious In its eff
feet, 80 destructive OF Independence In
The judiciary, so likely to subject the
rights OF individuals to the possible
Etyfanny OF a popular majority and
therefore to be 80 injurious to the
cause Of free government, must dis
approve the constitution containing
it."
Republicans Applaud.
The message was read to the house
amid absolute silence. Then a storm
Of applause broke from the republican
side. The democrats remained quiet.
