Mlrll, Sept. il President Taft brought to a close his four-day swing through Michigan here tonight and headed for the West. His last day In Michigan found the Presi dent speaking and visiting In Grand Itaplds. Ilattle Creek and Kalamaxoo. The Grand Kapida address was one of the President's set speeches on the tariff and hla vetoes of the wool, cot ton and farmers' free list bill In Hattle Creek. He talked of reciprocity and the annexation bogey, and wound up the day here with a speech on peace and arbitration. In every town visited there were the same large crowds eager to see the President thaf he hss encountered everywhere through the state. In Kattle Creek, the President talkd to the largest crowd so far on his trio. The President's speeili at Battle Creek was the first he made on reci procity since the Canadian Parliament prorogued several months ago. Annexation Talk Roeta. "They say we want to annex Can ada. Huh!" said the President, laugh ing. "Gentlemen, my experience In this Government has taught mo that we have territory enough without en larging our borders. I can say for one that the talk that the trado trejty was to facilitate annexation Is bosh." The President said he favored the abolition of all custom houses on the border line of Canada and wished t'lat we bad absolute free trade with the Iwimlnlon. The President left tonight for Peoria. III., where lie will pass to morrow. In hi speech Mr. Taft said In part: "I am fully committed to the proposi tion that we ought not to have any revision of a schedule f the tariff without iccurate Information as to the operation and effect of the proposed changes. In this view I have had In the past the hearty support not only of the regular Republicans, but also, and even with more emphasis, those who call themselvea Progressive Re publicans. "I also wish to point out that all Re. publicans of whatever shade are com; mltted to the maintenance of our pro tected Industries to the point of re taining dutle on Imported articlea which shall equal the differences in the cost of production at home and abroad. "Except for the extra session called only to pasa upon the reciprocity bill, the first time that the Sixty-second Congress could consldor and pass upon tariff schedules would be In December, and at that time Its predecessor, by consent of both parties, had fixed as the proper time at which a full re port as to the most objectionable achedule ought to be reported. With the money granted me by Congress I had provided a board, nonpartisan, and with the aame personnel as the statu tory board would have had, to make a report not only upon wool but also upon cotton. . Sm Hearings Held. "Although many of the Democrat had assisted In the support of tbe stat utory Tariff Board bill and had ad vocated such a means of securing ac curate Information In respect of the probable operation of the proposed re vision, the House at once began to make a record for political purposes by passing three tariff bills, the wool bill, the free-list bill, and the cotton bill. They gave no public hearings of any kind on either of these bills and they presented no satisfactory In formation upon which the effect of any of them upon the Industries In volved could be judged. Their Investi gation may have been sufficient to satisfy the conscience of a tarlff-for-reve.nie man who believe In any re ductlJu, however great, of existing duties, but for one pledged as I am to maintain a tariff high enough to enable existing Industriea to live, the case Is different. "The wool bill, against the vote of nearly all of the regular Republicans and aome of the Insurgent Republicans, passed the Senate and was aent to con ference, where a bill was agreed upon In which the duty was 19 per cent on raw wool and an average of 49 per cent on woolens. This bill had the effect of raising the duty on carpet wools, as fixed In the Senate. 1 per cent, and aa fixed In the House ( per cent. Here wss the first case presented to me. There was nothing In the record In either the House or Senate from which I could obtain any Information a to the effect of this bill upon the wool and woolen Industry of this country. "I submit that the history of Its mak ing show no principle whatever In the bill, except a compromise between two opposing principles for the purpose of passing the bill, without any indica tion as to its effect on the industry to which it applies. laformatloa la Laeklag. "The bill reduced the duty on wool ens to an average of per cent, with a duty on the raw material wool of Si per rent. I bad no adequate information, and had been furnished none. upon which I could ay that the bill presented to me wa In accord with the Republican platform of protection upon which I waa elect ed, and to which I am In honor bound to square ray official act and policy. In the absence of such adequate In formation, and with the prospect of securing it in three months. It became my bourden duty to withhold my ap proval of the bill. "The free-list bill was called the 'farmer' free list. for the purpose of giving an impression that It was passed to compensate the farmer for some sort of injury supposed to be done by the Canadian reciprocity treaty. This reason wss finally repudiated by the leader of the Democracy on t lie floor of the House of Representatives, and la certainly not true. There was nothing In the Canadian reciprocity bill that required any compensation to the farm ers. The bill was so loosely drawn. It wss drawn on such a wrong principle, and with so little Information, and It purported to do so many things which it did not do. that I had no hes itation In vetoing It. 'Finally, the cotton bill came to me. This bill differed from the others In being a bill for which the Democrat alone, and not the Insurgent Republl csns. were responsible. "On Senate amendment cut down the metal schedule by a sweeping reduction of 30 per cent, and the other was an amendment of the chemical schedule with a purported reduction ad valorem of 2J per cent. So hastily was the bill thrown together, so little attention wa paid to the consideration of it in the Senate, especially In tbe 'chemical schedule, that tbe most ludlcrou re sults were reached. WEST XOT "EXEMV'S COUNTRY' No Credence Is Given Assertion of La KoIIette Press Bureau. OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Sept. 20. If Western Republi cans in Congress are fairly representa tive of the constituencies that sent them there, no credence can be given the assertion of the La Follette press bureau that the President, after cross ing the Mississippi River, will be in the "enemy's country." .By "enemy' country" is meant states that are op posed to the renomlnatlon of President Taft. Naturally. It might be Inferred from the La Follette statement that the peo ple of the West overwhelmingly de mand the nomination of some other Re publican than Taft in 1912. But do they? Not If you. can Judge by the character of their Republican Sena tors and Representatives In Congress. There are 78 Republican Senators and Representatives In Congress from those Western States Included In the President's Itinerary. Of the 78. only S2 are Insurgents who have declared tl-.eir animosity towards the President or have refused to commit themselves with lctcrrncf to the Presidency, while 46 are regulars, or insurgents who have refused to support La Follette and have announced their purpose to stand with the President. Thus there appears a majority of 14 in favor of the President, so far as the epublican Congressional representa tion la i.nnf,pnari The fnllnwlne table 'shows the situations of Western Re publican in Congress, Senators and Representatives being grouped to gether. The total for some states will not give the full representation In Congress, as Democrats have been eliminated: Antl Taft. 3 I i 4 4 . 7 For Tuft. 0 1 z 7 S X a 2 1 8 3 2 s 49 State.

Oregon. Washington and Wisconsin but It would be a bold man who would venture the prediction that any one of those states will give the President a frosty reception. Even in Wisconsin. Im. Follette's state, elabor ate plans have been made for the President's reception, and there is no reason to believe he will miss La .Fol lette and any of his satellites In the throngs that will greet him. It Is an interesting thing to note that Oregon Is the only Western State which has no Senator favoring the re nomination of President Taft. In most of the Western States one Senator Is favorable, to Taft and one against him. while In five states both Senators are favorable to the President. In Oregon, however, one Senator. Chamberlain, a Democrat, is naturally anti-Taft, and his colleague. Senator Bourne. Is a leader In the La Follette movement. Ouj: of a delegation of four Oregon has a single Congressman favorable to Taft. RAILWAY VETERAN BURIED Prominent Harrlman Officials at Funeral of J. T. Walch. ALBAXT. Or., Sept- 21. (Special.)
