Many of the Most Important Measures Have Been
 Vetoed
COMMERCE COURT
 SAVED BY A VETO
Fitzgerald Has Thrown Down the Gauntlet to Taft on Legislative Bill-Effort Made to Ad-
 journ Next Week
By C. E. STEWART

Washington, August 17-tSpeciall- President Taft promises to become known in history as the veto president. He has used the executive veto more fre- quently to block important legislation ] than even Grover Cleveland for while
 the latter sent great number of veto
 messages the majority were against pri- vate pension bills.
 President Taft on the other hand, has
 vetoed many of the most important meas
 ures passed during the last two sessions
 of congress. The list includes not only | all tariff bills sent to the white house,
 but two big appropriation bills as well. | Through the use of the veto power,
 the most sovereign power lodged in the
 hands Of the executive next to the par
 doning power. he has saved Maj. Gen.
 Leonard Wood from being legisated out 1 of office and saved the commerce court | from being abolished Whether the pres ident or congress will ultimately win out on these two issues remains to be seen. The army bill and the legislative bill had to go all through the executive mill again The house redrafted the legisla- tive bill cutting out the provision of the seven year terms for government clerks in the District of Columbia but refused to authorize the continuance of the com meree court Since the creation of the court was accomplished through the ac- tive efforts of the president and its re- | tention is one of his hobbies. he may again veto the legislative bill and send 1 1t back to congress. Three times since | June 30 the house has been forced to | pass resolutions extending appropriation
 bills of last year or the wheels of gov
 ernment would have stopped If con 1 gress adiourns before the president signs 1 the legislative bill next sent 10 him and | the president vetoes that measure if VII,
 create most interesting situation. For
 one thing members of congress- federal court judges employees in several exec
 utive departments and the president him
 self would find their pay stopped.
 Panama Bill Veto
 The possibility of veto of the Pan- | anna canal bill is another thing which
 is causing members of Congress some concern as blocking an early adjourn- | ment.
 1 The indications are that the friends Of the measure can muster enough
 votes in each house to pass the bill over the executive veto. The alterna- tive would be the passing of a blan- lSet resolution lodging plenary power l in the hands of the President to make provisions for the operation or the canal, including the formation of q permanent force for operation out of the present force of construction There is very determined resistance to such proposal. Representative Adamson in the House, author of the canal bill. and Senators Simmons and Bristow fn the Senate are leading the fight for | the canal bill.

Pass Appropriations Bill

Washington. August 17.--The legislative. executive and judicial appropriation bill ], etoed by President Taft because it con .ainec a seven year tenure for the civil service and provided for abolishing the commerce court. was passed by the House again today. It now goes to the Senate again.
 The only change the appropriations com mittee made in the bill after it came hack from the White House was to drop out the civil service restriction.
 Before the Senate acts on the measure 1t win go through the hands of it's appro- priations committee. Many members of the committee stated today that they favored leaving out both of the sections to which the President had objected While the Senate undoubtedly would ap- prove bill tc abolish the commercc court. many republican and democratic leaoers favor leaving the legislation ou' of the appropriation bill.
 Should the bill as passed by the House toiay go through the Senate without change it is believed the President again will veto, and force upon Congress the alternative Of accedng to his wishes or facing a deadlock with the White House which would greatly prolong the ses- sion. Democratic House leaders believe the bill containing the abolishment of tha commerce court if vetoed by the Presi- dent could be repassed by a two-thirds vote there. but it proba bly would fail of such repassagc In the Senate.
