PRESIDENT vETOES
LIGHT SAVING ACT
Second Time Wilson Has Refused
to Sign Measure.
FARMERS CAN COOPERATE
Chief Executive Declares Law as II
Stands Is Aid to Increase in Pro-
cuction, Which Is Country's
Greatest Need.

Washington, Aug. l6.-Presldent
Wilson vetoed the bill repeating the
daylight saving law. The president
said he did so with "the utmost reluc-
lance" because he realized the very
considerable and in some respects
very serious inconvenience to which
the daylight saving law subjects The
farmers of the country"
This is the second time the president
has vetoed repeal of the law by which
the clocks are set forward an hour on
the last Sunday in March and turned
back an hour the last Sunday In Octo-
Der. The first veto was several weeks
ago, the repeal being attached as a
rider TO the annual agricultural bill.
Act With utmost Reluctance"
The presidents message vetolng
the bin is as follows:
81 return this bill. II. r. 1854, An
act for the repeal of the daylight say
ing law without my signature, but do
so with the utmost reluctance. | rea-
lie the very considerable and in
some respects very serious inconven-
fences to which the daylight saving
law subjects the farmers of the coun-
try. TO whom we owe the greatest con-
sderation, and who have distinguished
themselves during these recent years
of war and want by patriotic endeav-
ors worthy Of all praise.
But | have been obliged to balance
a. n au
other and to venture n Judgment as to
which were the more serious for the
country The immediate and pressing
need Of the country Is production. in
creased and increasing production, in
all lines of industry. The disorganiza-
ton and disocatlop caused by the war
have told nowhere so heavily as at
the Industrial centers-in manufacture
and in the many industries to which
the country and the whole world
must look to supply needs which can
not be ignored or postponed.
Farms Need Factories output.
ut is to these that the daylight saw
ing law is of most service. 1t minis
ters to economy and to efficiency. And
the interest Of the farmer is not in all
respects separated from these inter-
ests. He needs what the factories
produce along with the rest of the
world. He is prohted by the prosper
ity which their success brings about.
His own life and methods are more
easily adjusted | venture to think,
than those of the manufacturer and
the merchant.
These are considerations which
have led me TO withhold my signature
from this repeal ! hope that they are
considerations which viii appeal 10
the thoughtful Judgment of the house
and in the long run TO the thoughtful
Judgment of the farmers of the eoun-
try, who have always shown an admir-
able public spirit"
