TAFT VETOES ARMY
APPROPRIATION BILL

WASHINGTON, June l7.-Presi-
dent Taft today sent TO congress a
veto of the army appropriation bill.
Among the reasons given by the
president for his veto. were;
THAT the army appropriation bill
contained body of legislation which
would substantially reorganiZe and
change the existing army establish
ment.
That the bill would render inelig-
ible after March >. 1913, for service in
the most important position OF the
army the present chief OF STAFF and
many others OF the most efficient Of
fcers OF the army"
He said that in cases OF urgency,
when the president and congress were
agreed, legislation had been included
in appropriation bills; but no condl-
ton of urgency is here disclosed, nor
can IL be claimed that there is any
reason for attaching the present leg.
isIation 10 this army appropriation
bill"
Taken as a whole, IL would be hard
to conceive OF clearer instance of
an attempt 10 force upon the execu-
tive legislation well known to be dis
approved by him. There can be no
constitutional defense TO such a prac-
tice.''

BIG INCREASE OVER
LAST YEARS FIGURE
Fixed at 1898, Which is SITS
in Excess of the Levy
in 1911
ASSESSMENT INCREASE
LESS THAN $50,OOO,OOO
Chief Boosting Done in Central
District Where John c.
Nagel Operates

The new tax rate as finally deter
mined, Monday morning, in the office
Of the assessors, is 1898 on each
81, 900 assessment valuation. This Is
an increase of Sis over the present
rate OF $lS.l5. TIE total increase in
the assessed valuation Of property for
tax purposes in the city over last
years figures is SAG, sol ,920. Rough
estimates at the time the board oil
estimates was in session and when
the real estate assessments were be-
ing tabulated placed the total In
crease as high as s60,000,000.
The most remarkable showing in
the assessments is revealed In the
Iigures for the central district, where
Assessor John c. Nagel made in
creases on land, buildings and per-
sonal property amounting 10 S36,269,.
760. The central district includes the
First, Second, Third, Fourth and
Sixth wards, and outside OF these
wards only $13,322,060 was added to
the total tax assessments of last year.
The city lost 100000 in assess
ments on vessel property and mort
cages by the operation OF the new
obhIC laws anu luis iOSS lOii NhNiANiJ
on the central district, reducing the
assessments by just so much. The
land increase I'm the central district
amounted 10 $25.251 ,020. the increase
on personal property being $l1,01S,-
TAO.
Assessor Nagel stated, Monday,
that II the land valuations had not
been increased as they were in the
central district the tax rate would
have been $21.40. Last years budget
was $7,311,160 and IL the budget had
not been increased this year, the in
crease In the assessments would have
resulted In tax rate OF $16.17. The
budget last year was the largest In
the history of the city and this year
$4,000, 900 was added Only a large
jump in assessments keeps the tax
rate down TO the figure announced.
The total assessed valuation OF al.
taxable property in the city is $452,-
244,030, as against $402, 652,210 last
year. The assessments on real estate
were announced several weeks ago. SO
that all that remained TO determine
the tax rate was TO obtain the totals
en- personal property assessments,
this work being completed Monday.
The total assessments on all per-
scnal property in the city is $685.
633,940. an increase OF $9,733,S60 over
last years assessments. The personal
property assessments by wards are

Presidential Primary Appar-

Additional returns on Republican
presidential contest indicate that the
10000 mark will be the limit of La
Follette's plurality over Roosevelt and
Taft. Twelve hundred and eighty pre-
cincts out of 1,743 in forty-seven coun-
ties, give La Toilette 26,917 and Roose-
Welt 1922, while Taft has received
1875.
Two missing counties, Ward and
Burke, have given La Toilette about
800 majority. The exact returns of
the latter county will not be available
until after the county canvassing
board meets, this situation being the
result Of a complication in that county
two years ago, when an election con
test was based upon the fact that cleo.
ton return envelopes had been opened
by the county auditor.
The totG' La Toilette vote, as shown
on the returns, is 2S,620; the Roose
