All the tariff bills will receive the
presidential disapproval unless they

Tin post-oilier bill, besides piov'dlng
for a parcels post, may carry jr."'" i.,-,
' fpr good roa ls. an annual appropri?
ation to which Talt may object. If
the 11 titliti junction and contempt bills

draw presidential disapproval,
Taft's lust use of ih,- veto, which
attracted national attention was ..a
