From the Tariff Boards Recom

Second Veto of Measure Designed to
End What Talt Styled "Indefens
ible Schedule K"
WASHINGTON, Auk. It was
authoritatively Muted bore today that
President Taft will veto tlio "budget
appropriation bill." Ho disapproved
of tliu abolition of the commerce
rourt mid of the proposition to limit
civil nervlco protection to government
elerka to n soven your porlod.
WASHINGTON, Auk. 0.- In n sp
rlnl iiii'iiftKft to ConKrtn vetoing til"
wool bill, President Tnft appealed to
dny to tbii legislator not to adjourn
"without taking advantage of thn
opportunity to substantially reduce
do lion" by frniuliiK a protective bill
nloiiK lines recommended by tlio tar
iff board.
Tlio menge ny that specific rea
con (or disapproving the La Follotto
bill U that It was not drafted from
thu tariff board' recommendation
nud would result In "Irretrievable In
jury to thu wool growing Induttry and
mi force Idleness to wool romblnR and
pinning machinery and to thotmatuH
of loom, and tho consequent throw
ing out of employment of thousand
of workmen,"
HUnd For Pledge
Tho mtuuago says:
"I shall stand by pledge ta naln
tain the degree of protection nece
nry to offset tho coat of production
horn and abroad but will heartily ap
prove of any hill reducing dullea to
thin level."
Ilio mrssngo assert tho tariff
hoard "completely Justified" tho
veto of u similar bill Inat year, add
ing: "In view of the platform on which
I wan elected and my promUe to fol
low and maintain a protection policy,
no other course In open to me but
to wlthold my approval of thtu hill,
I am much dliapplntod that auch a
bill for tho second tlmo ahoutd ho pre
sented to mo. I havo Inferred from
apeeche by members of tho house
nud senate that a majority of both
house wero Impressed with tho
necessity of u reduction of tho tariff
under tho present act on wool und
woelens: thut thoy did not propoo
to aland on tho question of tho
amount of protection or Insist It must
bo enotiKh necessarily to satisfy peo
ple who fnvor tariff for rovenuo only,
but that they ro willing to accopt
a substantial reduction of prcsont
rates In order that tho peoplo bo re
lieved from possibility of oppressive,
prk'o duo to excessive rotes."
To Maintain Protection
Tho message. hiiIiI:
"I strongly desire to reduce tho
duties, provided only a protoctlvo
nyatom bo maintained nnd Industries
now established bo not destroyed. It
appears from tho tariff Iward'H roport
that n bill may bo drawn so as to bo
within tho roqulromonls of protec

"I appeal to congress to reconsider
tho mouBuro nnd adopt n substitute
mukltiK substantial reductions with
out destroying an establlshod Indus

Most Paving, but the lest Quality
of It Jackson Ceunty In Lead
Has Perfected Read luildinf Devise
Tfial Solves the PreWem Vamltls
Destroy Pacific Hifhway Signs
"Medford is the best paved city In
tho west. Not only has It the most
paved streets for Its slzo, bnt the qual
ity of tho pavement la superior to
that In any city south of It," satd
Sara Hill, presldont of the National
Good Roads association and foremost
good roads adveato In the nation,
who arrived Thursday evening In his
automobile, en route home from the
Pacific Highway meeting recently
held at San Francisco. He was ac
companied by Major H. L. Bowlby,
former stato highway commissioner
of Washington.
"Since J lectured here last fall,"
aald Mr. Hill, "I havo Inspected all
the new roads and new road construc
tion under way In both Europe an1
America, so I feel that Idtnow what
I am talking about, and I think that
with Major Bowlby'a assistance that
I have originated the best and most
practical road building machine yet
dovised. The machine i; Major
Bowlby'a Invention and surfaces roads
with an asphaltlc mixture put oa un

paved street. Some of the roads
built at Maryvllle, Wash., ray home,

as good as the day built. It t
cheap, durable and perraaBMt. Tke,

Medford Transformed
"Pavement and good hotels have
transformed Medford Into a most at
tractive city. Medford and Asb-'
land are far ahead of any cities south
to Sacramento. Good Toads will
transform your county equally. The
fame of Medford Is spreading among
the touring public.
"Some vandals have destroyed all
the Pacific highway sign posts for a
hundred miles or more south of Ash
land. Twice we got on the wrong
road going down. As a result, the
Pacific Highway Association haa in
creased Its dues to $5 a year and will
employ an engineer to go 'over the
1800 miles of road from San Diego
to Vancouver monthly and report the
condition of each section.
Jackson County Leads
"I am trying to educate the people
of Portland up to Jackson county's
standard and havo recently lectured
to pucked houses five times on good
roads. I regard Jackson county as
tho leading county In Oregon, and
hopo for success for your home rule
Initiative bill. It Is very Important
for tho causo of good roads In Ore
gon, that Jackson county takes ,no
backward step and I hope that a pro
gressive county Judge will be elected
this fall. Jackson county should
continue to lead Oregon."
Mr. Hill started to return by train,
but tho best he could do was an up
per birth tn a tourist car. Ono night
was sufficient and he had nls auto
pick him up. Consequently he favors
a law compelling every railroad presi
dent to ride In one of tils tourist cara
onco a year to appreclato what tho
public has to put up with.
