meTiTs either upon American Indus
tries or upon tho revenues of the gov-:
eminent."
ItcasouM for Veto.
Briefly svlewing the manner In i
which the Iron and steel ami chemical
amendments wer?: added to tho bill,
the President said:
"1 cannot make myself a party to
dealing with the Industries of the coun-]
try In this way. The Industries cov?
eted by metals and the manufacture of
metals are the, largest in the country,
and it would seem not only wise, but
absolutely essential, to acquire accu?
rate Information ao io the effect of
i lunges which may vitally affect these
Industries before enacting them into
law." j
Speaking of tl.u cotton industry, the
President said the capital invested Inj
1909 amounted to SU21,000,000; the value
of the product to 1629,000,000; the num?
ber of wage-earnors tu 379,000, making,
With dependents, a total of at least
1,200,000 persons affected, with uunuai
Wages of 1116,000,000. The bill would
not have gone Into effect until January
1 next, and Mr. Tafl said the turllt
board would be ready with a report be- ?
fore that time. Investigation by the
I House Ways and Means Committee.;
I Mr. Taft sold, was purely for the pur
? pose of preparing a bill on a tariff fori
' revenue basis. I
"Pledged to support a policy of mod-!
? ?rate protection." he added. "I cannot.
' approve a meaBure which violates Its'
I principle."
! The President denounced the bill as;
"empirical and haphazard." This, he I
I declared, was especially true of the'
I chemical schedule, which had been re-1
i vised In such a way as to Increase the'
! tux on certain chemicals; Instead of re?
ducing them.
"These." said the President, "arei
some of the typical inconsistencies and
i instances of haste in preparation and
[of the error of the calculation in the
I proposed sweeping horizontal reductionI
I of a most importan* schedule in the;
j tariff.
"This bill Illustrates and enforces
views which 1 have already ex-|
pressed In vetoing the wool bill and the
so-called free list bill as to the para?
mount importance of securing, through
the Investigation and reports of the;
i tariff board, a definite and certain
basis of ascertained fact for the con-i
slderatlon of tariff laws. When the;
? ??ports of the tariff board upon these
schedules are received, the duties wh'ch i
sjiould b? Imposed can be determined
i upon Justly and with intelligent appre-1
ciatlon of the effect that thev will have
. both upon Industry and upon revenue, i
"The Important thing Is to get our
'? tariff legislation out of the slough of
guessworkand log-rolling nn'l "x-parte
statements of Interested persons, and
to establish that legislation on the
basis of tested and determined farts,
to which shall be applied fairly and
openly whatever tariff principle the
people of the country choose to adopt."'.

Some Facts About Richmond and
Henrico Railway Company
Have Made Good All We Promised
Bulletin No. 2
t]IFor years Richmond has wanted a second street
railway system. One that would traverse sections
of the city far remote from street railway travel.
In compliance with this demand the Richmond
Henrico Railway Company came into existence.
fflThe Company promised to build a first-class road
and to give first-class equipment. This has been
done and we believe now, that everybody will say
that we have made good all we promised.
CJ We have arrived at a point, however, where we
need to extend our lines into the West End in or?
der to make the operation of this Company profi?
table. The West End of Richmond needs more
street car facilities. We want to supply this need.
If given the chance to build a line in the West End
we promise to give first-class service at all times
with modern type cars.
Cflln view of the fact that we have made good in the past, we
believe we have the confidence of the Richmond people in
this promise.
Signed, W. S. FORBES,
President
We will have more to say on this subject later.
