Amazed

There was a hush, an expectation
that he would resume. But he laid
aside the papr. A look of amaze
ment was on every face.
The one thing emphasized in the
Presidents message was the i'm
portance Of disposing of the tariff as
early as possible in order that bust
ness might not be long disturbed by
uncertainties regarding customs
tariffs. Not a word about honest re-
vision or revision downward!
But the Progresslves did not then
lose hope in the President. We be-
lieved that he would still carry out
his promises. We had all supported
him heartily in his campaign.
[ had been the candidate OF the
State of Wisconsin for the presi.
dency at the convention which nomi-
mated Taft. and while l had no ex-
pectation OF being nominated. 1 did
hope that we should have some in
fuence in molding the platform.
When Taft was nominated L imme-
diately sent him the following tele-
gram:
Hon. William TT. Taft.
washington. y. c.:
"While the platform is disappoint-
ing in some fundamental provisions
and omissions. and I shall claim the
right To say So. I congratulate you
most sincerely. and in the faith that
you are more nearly in accord with
the great body of Republican voters
than the platform. I shall do all in
my power to insure your election"
When the tariff bill passed the
House. therefore. after being bitterly
opposed by the House insurgents as
the thoroughly bad measure that II
was. I felt at liberty TO call upon
the President and talk with him
about If.
I still had hope that he would keep
faith with the people.
He agreed with me. on that occa-
sion. that the bill as it passed the
House was not a compliance with
platform pledges. and he said dis
tinctlv that unless it were thorough,
" overhauled he would veto it. I
suggested to the President that IL
was plainly his duty now to trans.
NIT a message to Congress making
il clear that the House bill was in
violation of the pledges Of the party
and against the public interests.
Well" he said. II don't much be-
lieve in a Presidents interfering with
the legislative department while It
is doing its work. They have their
responsibility and I have mine. And
if they send that bill to me. and It
isn't a better bill than It is now, I
will veto it."
I suggested that If he remained
silent he would never find himself
able. after the record was made up,

!, PLEDGE TO PUSH
SALARY INCREASE
VIII Garry Bill to Congress
and Demand Its
Passage

Fight for the passage Of the
postal clerks salary increase bill Will
be carried to the next session Of Con-
gress and an attempt made to pass
it, even though it was vetoed by
President Coolidge at the last
session. it was pledged by e
hundred postal clerks, carriers and
railway mail service employees, who
met at the Chamber of Commerce,
Wednesday night.
Speakers declared Congress favor
ed the DILL, but the postal department
and President opposed it.
Argument against the bill is that
it carries no ear Of revenue and
should not be passed until the cost
ascertainment committee o. the
postal department has reported. ,
Ineficiency No Excuse
The department has had 1874
years to find out that information"
declared B. G. Burris. fifth division
president. And the departments
~ineficiency is no excuse for keep
/. employees salaries.
Postmaster General New early in
March placed himself On record as
against the bill. I would welcome
him here to argue the question, as
he is in the city, but he would not
be interested in coming" Collins
said.
THE department has spent the
$500, 900 appropriation made by Con-
gress for the cost ascertainment and
Congress has not received one word
Of information that was sought" he
continued.

TARIFF PROBLEM FALLS TO
PRESIDENT WILLIAM TAFT

my OWN STORY" is a exclusive
Newspaper version of one of the
. great autObiographies of modern
times; La FOllette's own story of
himself in I9i2. together with an
authorized narrative Of his expert
ences in the years since then. Il
SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS
INSTLLMENTS
After years spent in fighting the
political bosses in the House of Rep
resentatives and later as Governor
Of Wisconsin. La Toilette is elected
to the Senate in 1905. At Washing
ton. as in Wisconsin. he discovers the
machine politicians combating pro-
gressive legislation. Some of his
earliest battles in the Sante are
fought against the railroad interests.
La Toilette enters the Senate as the
lone progressive; gradually the pro.
g~ressive movement grows. One OF
the new groups most significant vic
tories lies in winning Senator Dolli-
yer from the bosses. who had been
manipulating legislation for the bene-
fit of the great interests.
He was attacked by the stand
patters" of Iowa when he became a
Progressive, and he was not cred
tied even by Progressives with that
sincerity Of conviction which he was
in every way entitled to. Many of
those in the Progressive ranks who
had suffered under his keen witt
could not believe that Deliver
had changed from conviction. But
knew that he had. A close study of
his record will show how, even while
Allison still lived, he was constantly
straining at the bonds which kept
him in the ranks on that side.
He and Clapp came together. They
were very dear friends-often to-
gether in a social way. They under
stood and appreciated each other.
1t was the fight on the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill which brought us
all together. The administration OF
Roosevelt had come to an end on
March 4, 1909. with nothing to its
credit in the way of tariff revision.
That thorny problem fell to the un.
fortunate Mr.. Taft.
Now. Mr.. Taft, fully aappreciating
the public clamor for tariff changes,
and knowing that he could nto be
elected unless he took a strong stand,
interpreted the platform pledge with
respect to tariff revision in a speech
Milwaukee, on Sept. "a, 1908, as
follows:
