though Accused Had Been
Notified of Action.

WATER POWER LAW
DECLARED INVALID
State Supreme Court Decision
Holds Act Unconstitutional.
COULD NOT BE ENFORCED
Opinion Written by Justice 'm."
Declares It Also Contrary to run
damental Principles - Millions IN
Property Affected by Judgment

Madison.-The supreme court mas
declared unconstitutional the water
power act enacted by the last WIS
consin legislature. The act PROVIDED
for state regulation and control OIL
thousands of miles Of navlgaple
streams and millions OF dollars
worth of property. The opinion de-
claring the act unconstitutional was
written by Justice Timlin. The court
was unanimous. Justices KerWln
and Barnes did not sit.
1.-THE law is unconstitutional, says
the decision, because the necessary
effect of the enforcement OF the law
would be state appropriation OF the
property rights of riparian proprle-
tors of the banks of navigable rivers
without due process of law; the ap-
preparation ostensibly for the pubnc,
but in legal effect largely for private
purposes; an appropriation without
rendering just compensation for pri-
vate property rights, all contrary to
fundamental law.
Thus the all-pervading necessary
effect of such chapter is to take prop
erty, which in fact is private, for
purpose, declared to be public without
rendering any compensation there
for. The necessary effect, if en-
forced-and so the purpose is legal
sense-of chapter 652, laws Of 1911,
being a state appropriation of private
property rights of riparian proprie-
tors owning the banks Of navigable
rivers, in a manner not warranted
by the fundamental law, and those
portions of the act which do not di-
rectly deal with the assertion of
state title, being features designed to
render such assertion efficacious, it
all forms an inseparable unconstitu-
tionality entirety"
The judgment enjoins enforcement
of any part of the act except as to
future new interferences (dams, etc.
without state permission, navigable
in fact, but not meandered.

STAND BY GUNS, SAYS
TAFT IN KEYNOTE SPEECH
President Shows Willingness to Make
Fight on Tariff Alone-De-
tends Payne Sill.

Cleveland, Ohio-President Taft
opened his campaign for re-elec.
ton when he made a defense of his
administration before the Tippecanoe
club of this city and defied the Demo
cratic party to show wherein the Re-
publicans had failed to keep their
pledges made in 1908.
Showing that he was unwilling to
wait for further assaults from the
enemy, the president took the often
sive and invited the country to pass
judgment upon his stewardship, He
said the party record was an open
one and was worthy of the best ira
ditions of Republican rule.
The president defended the Payne
Aldrich tariff, while admitting it's
shortcomings; he justified his vetoes
Of the Democratic revision bills at
the extra session and he made a plea
for the continuance of the tariff board.
He also renewed his adherence to the
protective policy.
The president called attention to
the railroad bill, making the inter
state commerce law more effective
and creating the court Of commerce.
He said it would be foolish and futile
to abolish this court because it has
reversed the interstate commerce
commission. He also commended the
safety appliance legislation of the last
congress.
AS for the enforcement Of the anti
trust law the president said:
"The laws have been enforced. The
interstate commerce law and the anti
trust law Indictments have been
found and bills in equity have been
filed in cases that seemed to call for
governmental action, and they have
proceeded to judgment in due course,
and the judgments have been en-
forced"
