PRESIDENT TAFT cRlTIcIZES
HIS ADMINISTRATION ACTS
Executive Would Mostly Winona
Speech-Csfends Wool
Veto.

New Workman interview given at
Hot Springs, Va, recently and which
was in the Outlook, President Taft
gives his views of the achievements
and failure of his administration to
date.
In defending his vetoes at the last
session the president characterizes the
legislation sent him as so crude and
ill-digested that its authors must have
known he could not approve it.
The presidents chief objection to a
needlessly high tariff is that it nour-
ishes monopoly.
Chief on the list the president places
reductions in the WOODEN and cotton
schedules. and possibly in the metal
schedules These will be founded, he
says. as far as his recommendations
are concerned, on the report of the
tariff board. Putting the whole matter
up to congress. he says, he will leave
the members to settle with their con-
stituents if they prefer not to act Con
insurgents, he naively says: Where
they Will stand | am not prophet
enough even to surmise."
Expressing the satisfaction he would
experience at a reelection If the peo-
pie decide that his first term has
been fruitful enough to warrant the!s
enlisting him for another, the presi
dent makes this Enthusiastically
frank statement: But | have no,
been willing. nor shall / be. to pur-
chase it at the sacrifice of my freedom
to do my duty as | see it. My happi
ness is not dependent on holding any
Office; and l shall go back to private
life with no heart-burning if the peo-
Pile. after an unprecedented review OF
my administration, conclude that some
one else can serve them to their great
