The Threat to Veto.

President Taft has made an
nouncement of his purpose TO veto
any tariff bill for which his tariff
board has not furnished data.
Consider this threat not as involv-
ing the merits OF the tariff board or
the ability OF congress itself to in
diligently and capably revise the
tariff, but solely, in its relation to
the functions OF the executive Office.
The theory upon which this gov
eminent is built-a theory Mr.. Taft
himself has commended in his denun-
citation of judicial recalls that
the legislative, judicial and executive
branches shall each exercise certain
well defined duties and be independ-
ent OF one another.
The presidents threat amounts to
coercion OF the legislative branch of
government What is involved in II

by surprising that the president
should say unoficislly for the hear

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, Jan. 30.-Congress-
man William A. Cullop of Indiana
has started a movement in congress
which he believes will eventually do
much toward doing away with at
least one of the evils connected with
the federal judiciary system. Mr..
Cullop introduced and obtained the
adoption, in the house, of the
amendment to the Evans judiciary
bill which requires the president, be-
fore appointing a district, circuit or
supreme court Judge, to make pub
lie all Endorsements made in behalf
of any applicant.
The object of this amendment
must be plain to all who read it,
said Mr.. Cullop. Its only purpose
is so manifest that it cannot be over
looked by those who are in touch
with public sentiment. If made into
law this amendment will remove
much of the criticism today exist
ing over the appointment of federal
judges.
OF PUBLIC CONCERN.
"The selection of a judge for life
is a matter of much public concern
and hence there ought to be no sus
picion about his selection. If the
manner of his selection and how it is
made is given TO the public all thi!
criticism will be avoided.
Such a procedure as my amend
ment provides will preserve the in
tegrity of the federal courts and pur
| ify the administration of justice
| both of which are most desirable
The stability of our institutions rest
largely upon the purity of our ju
dietary and confidence in the admin

The Postal Deficit.

The third assistant postmaster gen
eral had much TO say Of second class
mail, which means the newspapers,
being responsible for the deficit in the
postofiice department.
Notwithstanding these claims there
has been a continual increase in the
amount OF second class mail. There
has been an increase in the amount
Of free mail carried 70 the representa-
lives OF congress and various depart
ments OF the government. There has
been SS6.0OO,O0O per annum paid out

now there is no deficit in the post
ONCE department.
The more second class mail that is
carried through the postofice, the
smaller the deficit has become until
now there is no deficit at all.
Now then, can the newspapers be
blamed for the shortage of the post
ONCE department funds in times past?

Comment From Capital

i've power that it should be required
to make public the Endorsements of
those applying for such an exalted
position and one of so much public
tive, clothed with such grave respon-
sibilities, would hesitate to make
public all matters connected with
such an appointment, in order that
the people whom such an officer is
to serve would know of everything
actuating the appointment. They
have a right to know, and the refus-
al to make public the knowledge
would provide ample ground for
suspicion. Suspicion should not ex-
list in such grave and important mat
tiers, because it tends to degrade the
dignity of the court and impair it's
influence.
81 am opposed to life tenure of
Office and l believe in the election OF
our federal judges just as state
judges are selected. The electorate
are Just as competent to select fed
eral judges as they are to select state
judges. They are responsible and II
a poor selection is made they car
rectify it, whereas, under the pres.
ent system, if a poor choice is made
there is no remedy.
PUBLICITY IN ADVANCE.
''If publicity were made manda
tory before the appointment, the
people could see in advance who
were backing an appointment. l de-
not see how single tangible objec
ton can be urged against the
amendment
Congressman Cullop is convinced
that this measure will prove popu
lar with the people and that it ulti
mately will be made a part of the

Sounds Another warming


Samuel Untermyer, the New York
lawyer who is conceded by all to know
as much or more than almost any man
in the country about the methods Of
trusts, has again sounded q warning
against the dangers that Turk in the
Aldrich monetary scheme. Mr.. Inter
myers professional duties have given
him an intimate knowledge Of the bus
mess methods Of Wall street and the
great financial concerns. He has pros
ecuted and defended litigants whose
causes led to the tnnermost circles Of
big business. In addition, his whole
bent Of mind has caused him to be-
come deep student of the history and
theory as well as the practice of fnan-
cial systems.
Mr.. Untermyer says that Wall
streets first step, In the well organ
lied and concentrated movement to
fasten the Aldrich plan on the coun-
try, Is TO block all proposed investiga-
tons into the workings Of the money
/ trust
81 am convinced" he says, that we
| shall never be able TO legislate intel
/ ligently with respect to the trusts or
monetary system until we thorough
ly understand the question. 1t will be
necessary to show the operations OF
the New York stock exchange and the
New York Clearing House association
and to analyze the complicated net
work of the colossal financial structure
that is responsible for a growing mon
ey oligarchy that threatens us with
dangers as grave as ever confronted
any nation.
Behind it all will be found a system
dangerous and vicious beyond descrip
ton, but one that is still within the
law. Only when we understand the
situation will we be able to plan
changes in the existing law, or put
new laws on the statute books.
"As result OF recent consultations
of railroads and Industrial corporations
the control Of the finances of the coun
try has drifted into the hands of o
few groups Of men in New York city
These men. through this control, have
been able to build up and dominate
most of the great banks and trust com
panies in New York, and to influence
the use Of the vast deposits for the
enterprises in which they are inter
ested or which they approve.
within the last five years there ha!
been a concentration of money powe
greater than that known within tn,
preceding so years. This control ha
been brought about by a few banking
houses and their allies through thei
domination of the funds of the big cor
porations in which they are interest
ed. This power has been cementet
through interlocking directories in f
nancial and industrial institutions tina
are naturally competitive. These me-
are thus enabled to assist their friend
and punish their enemies in the finar
cial world, and have used their powe
to crush opposition and to subject tn
smaller financial institutions to thei
own will.
