DEFENDS TARIFF BOARD
Taft Stoutly Defends Boards Work
In Speech at St. Louis.

That an expert board was essential
to the proper framing OF tariff,
that public opinion fully recognized
that fact and demanded such board,
and that the present tariff board had
fully indicated its existence were
the main points of President Taft's
principal speech in st. Louis, Mo.
incidentally the president stoutly
defended his vetoes OF tariff bills he
considered hastily and incompletely
drawn. This defense he based not
only upon his judgment and con-
science but upon solid legal ground,
quoting the constitution to show that
he acted fully within bis rights.
Before smaller audience Presi-
dent Taft again attacked the policy
or recall for the judiciary urging
that impeachment was a much more
safe and certain method of disci-
pine. He also severely criticized
American methods of trial by jury
and court procedure

Last,

The state railroad commission has
authorized the Toledo, Ann Arbor &
Jackson railroad company to incor-
porate with capital of 100000. The
incorporation papers were filed with

The incorporation of this company,
which was formed recently at Mon
roe. means the taking over of the
property of the old Toledo, Ann Ar
Dor & Jackson electric line, which
was organized in 1906. and which
company built about 90 miles of cleo
trio line out of Toledo the following
year, and then ceased operations.
Three hundred thousand dollars Of
the amunt will be used in purchasing
the assets and property of the old
line, and the remaining amount will

tied the old Kimmel home and failed
to recognize the family portraits on
the walls, among them one of the

been there for many years, he was
unable to do so. but said he wanted
more time to think the matter over.
