Ex-President Wi ?iam H. Taft today told the Anienc Bankers' Association, in convenir here, that practically all of the ra< cal reforms attempted in eonneeti? with politics, railroads and "big bu? res*-" had failed of their purpos causing the nation to halt in its pro rase, and thai there rnusl now be "retracing to the line of n< and justice." "The leviathan of the people cann< be stirred to such action as has bet taken ami stop short at the line < moderation," said Mr. Taf'. "The ho tiHty of legislatures and Congrei came to be directed against all succ?s ful investment of capital without di: crimination. Nothing is so timid ? capital, and nothing la so easily abl t?) iake care of what it has. "We are all in the same boat. Th prosperity of one Class II dependent o th?? prosperity of all. This is no rea BOH why we shoul.l not repress inju* tice and punish abuse of power. Bu it is a reason why we should not in dulge in excess. "We must promptly grant increase rates to the railroads when condition require it. We should repeal the ful crew bills that impose upon the rail roads the burden of employing unnec essary labor. In curing these excesse there is no reaso.i why we should no retain the real progress we have mad? in dethroning plutocracy." Mr Taft attacked other radical re? forms. On the recall of judges he ?aid: "The tenure of a judge or the right of the. individual litigants is to depend on the chance and uncertainty of one popular election. In the nature of the case, the people cannot be advised of the legal arguments pro and con, even if they could understand them. Again, the power of a reckless press would be enhanced and justice and equity would play little part in the result. "The evil tendency of such so-called reform is in the destruction of the -ancti'.y of our constitution. Under the initiative and referendum, no greater consideration by the people is required in the passage of a constitu? tional amendment than in that of ani temporary and unimportant measure. The convention adjourned to-day. Jasnes K Lynch, of San Francisco, was elected president, and Peter K. Goebel, of Kansas City, Kan., vue president, for the ensuing \ear. The convention hall was crowded this afternoon for the address of Mr. Taft, who was introduced by President Law as a man of humor and a cheerful loser. "I shall try to give you," said Mr Taft, in beginning his address, "an epitome of the politca! events of a generation, in the climax of which I performed a tragic part." The convention adopted a set of resolutions offered by Robert K. Mad dox, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, on the declaration of belligerent's making cotton contraband. It resolved: "That this conv-.ition commend? the President of the I'nited States and the State Department for the efforts which have been air, ady made looking to a modification of ihe sa.d contraband order and that it is a hope of this convention that the??- offerts Brill be continued until the threatened peril to j this great industry is averted."
