BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 31. Bitter
ly denouncing the principle of recall
as applied to the judiciary, bat him
self urging a reformation in judicial
procedure, President Taft addressed
today the convention of the American
Bar Association here.
Before tcharrival of tho president
who motored in from Beverly in a
pouring rain, the convention adopted
a special report denouncing the re
call. "I am Filled with gratitude for the
makers of the constitution," said
Taft in opening his address. "In
these days, when all are in favor of
progress' it is a great advantage that
we hnve in it an instrument of suffi
cient elesticity to meet our changing
needs and yet with sufficient restric
tions to keep out the wild theories
that, if tried, would injure the com
munity and provo a failure.

Referring to the United States su
preme court, tho president said:
"The salaries of the supreme court
justices should bo $25,000 a year.
They aro called upon to exercise the
responsibilities of their position with
the ability nnd learning requisite to
the task and ought to' be amply paid."
The president advocated using the
court of commerce as a court of pat
ent appeals. Regarding his arbitra
tion agreements, he said:
To Negotiate Treaties.
"I am most anxious that the trea
ties as negotiated be not amended. I
want them to mean something and to
accomplish something. We won't go
ahead with this arbitration business
unless wo nra willing to assume obli
gations and execute judgments which
wo may not like.
If we say wo will wait until speci
fic questions come up before agreeing
to arbitrate, then conclude that we
cannot win and so declare tho ques
tion unjustifiable, we have a promise
written in water which will mean
nothing."
