CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO
 VOTE ON VETO POWER
pNational Body Sends Out Referendum
 to be Acted Upon.

The Chamber of Commerce of Nor
 wich has been asked to go on record for or against a suggested amend ment to the constitution which would permit the president of the United States to approve or disapprove any separate items or provisions in any appropriation bill. The question is presented to the Chamber of Com merce through a referendum submit ted by the Chamber of Commerce of
 ganizat1ons of the country and is in the hands of the newly organized
 body here.
 It is argued, in discussing the ref
 endum, that the appropriation pro-
 visions of a bill may be entirely in
 the public interest but those relating
 to the rider directly against the pub
 lie interest. If the president had pow
 CT to veto items and provisions in
 such bills. he could approve one and
 veto the other; but being presented
 eonjointly the president is now com
 pelled to approve both aor veto both.
 The president is thus deprived of the
 power of using his own discretion and
 coerced into accepting that which his
 Judgment disapproves. or defeating
 that which he believes wise and nec-
 essary. This lack of power of the chief executive was declared to be one of the reasons for the existence
 of what is now known as the pork
 barrel.'' O. Power to veto separate items. it is explained, in the referendum notice is a. pure economy matter. Without ii congress can put through a pork barrel" item of appropriation or a se- ries of such items. which the presi- dent cannot veto without 6t the same vetoing the supply bill for running the government. This power to veto sep
 arate items of an appropriation is given to many governors, separate and distinct entirely from Questions of riders.
 The national chamber referendum raises the question of giving the pres ident also the power of vetoing riders which is not an economy power, but power to prevent congress from fore ing him to approve legislation by tacking it on to an appropriation bill whole. Where rider legislation iszPre- vented by state constitutions, it is not through power to veto, but through | 8 restriction on the legislation by 8 provision that a bill must deal with one subject of legislation which mus,
 be adequately set forth in the title o1 the bill.
 | It was at the request of the Mer- l chants Association of New York that
 the national chamber took up the veao question. With the referendum are the Merchants Association and its representative, William c. Breed, oi New York. On the other hand the referendum carries an abstract of the arguments against the proposal to be voted upon. Forty-fiv days are d. lowed for the balloting. which will close January 3.

By the American members of the

The officers opinion was sought VI.
subjects ranging from the withdrawal
OF American troops from Mexico to
the possibility of creating an inter-

The joint commission dealt today
wholly with questions raised by tax

find Steel SAWS
IN Clothing OF
OTTO R0B|SCH
Self Confessed Slayer of
George Pambogo Believed
to Have Cached Money.

Two fine steel springs, roughly
fashioned into saws, were found hid
den in the trousers worn by Otto
Robisch, when he was searched at
the Pulaski county Jail Tuesday
night, a. the request of Sheriff Will
liams, and Robisch asserts he does
not know how the saws happened to
be in his clothing. The saws are
such as are used in cutting thru
steel bars, and it is believed here
Robisch carried them continuously,
the belief being strengthened by the
fact that he has al record for cutting
his way out of jails.
Robisch, who is held to answer to
a charge of having murdered the In
dian George Pambogo, whose body
was taken from the river here last
Thursday, and who is said to have
confessed TO the affair, is held at
Little Rock as a precautionary meas
ure. Sheriff Williams learned Tues
day that Robisch had stated he had
$10O hidden in his clothing, and the
sheriff wrote the Pulaski authorities,
urging them to search the mans
clothing minutely-even to cutting
the clothing into rags, if necessary.
Thus the saws came to light, but no
money was found. The authorities
hold to the belief that Robisch has
sunk" a considerable sum that was
taken from the Indians body, and
will continue their efforts to locate
it.
Robisch was not brought to Pine
Bluff yesterday for preliminary ex-
animation, and it is planned to hold
him at the Pulaski county Jail until
it is time for him to appear before
the grand jury here, the first Monday
in October.
