Aug. 17.—A move ment has been launched by the Co lumbus Board of Trade providing fo>- the owning and operating of a steam ship line on the Gulf of Mexico when the Panama and St. Andrews bay ca nals are opened b. traffic.

HILLES. Chairman of the Republican National Committee. NEW YORK. Aug. 17.—The question .i.-ked why if President Taft is a progressive, he opposes the initiative ¥1 ■ W ■ ■ ' I Ji iRA W an d referendum and the recall? It i lieeanse ITrsi <h nt Taft is :• genuine progres sive that he op poses these things and m a i n t a i n that so far as bu rn a n experience has disclosed, th. Republican form of government is the most effective a n<l satisfactory, the one w hich w ill come nearest to securing for ah men the rights of lite, liberty am 1 the pursuit of happiness. \ i..., rr,.« A Republican government, a distin guished from a pure Democracy, I- the government of thought and delibera tion That radicalism which, in both tile Democratic party and tlie Third Term party.’i: masquerading as pro gressive is opposed to thought and de liberation. is antagonistic to efficiency. In mu modern civilization no man thinks of being his own carpenter. Ills own doctm. his own stone mason. liis own lawyer. Why not'.’ Because lie has found by experience that he gets better service when he employs men who ate expert in those lines to serve him than he would if lie tried to do ill thosi things himself. He know that they liavc both time and opportu nity to study and to think, and tints perfect themselv -s in tin peeullai line of sei vice of which he is in need. He prefers a specialist to a novice. Experts in Legislation, Too. So, too, in the ease of government. We select na n for our legislatures not because we believe they have more abil ity than ourselves. Put because we ex pect them to give thought and study to the subjects with which they are to ded, and we pay them for tlie time tin.' devote to such thought anti study. Were we to-devotc th" same time ami study to the same subjects perhaps we could do equally well, often we could do better, but in out coni' ! x civilization men do not have time to think and con sider aqd deliberate on all the subjects which concern their welfare. They must economize time by employing one set of men to render one set of serv ices, and another set of men to render I another. Why is President Taft opposed to like initiative, tin r> lereudutn and the lee ill? The recall, as applied to the judiciary, is so laige a subject that 1 prefer to discuss it by myself. But what I have said applies especially to the first two named. The real pro gressive opposes the initiative and tile referendum because he does not believe they will make Im progress, because he is convined they impose on the voter responsibilities which he is not pre pared to dlsehargi not because he lacks the ability, but because he has not the time. We have universal male -uffiage in this country, and al men should be prepared to vote on t , urn stions which are submitted to them with Intelli gence and with knowledge, and after 7 due deliberation This is essential to the welfare of the nation. But if all laws are to be submitted to tin' voter under the referendum sys tem, it will be impossible for him to giii- to them, before he votes upon them, that deliberation and thought which are essential to intelligent de cision. Applies Also to Initiative. What I have said about the recall ap pll, st in only slightly less degree to the initiative. Even now, without the Ini tiative, the demand for new laws is in a large part created by the newspa pers. Your newspaper suggests to you j a law. and on its face it seems plausi ■ file and desirable. But have you time I and opportunity to investigate the sub jeet ? I have seen President Taft de vote days--yes. ami nights—reading, thinking, examining the effect of simi lar statutes, to the consideration of a single, comparatively simple law. Have you the time to do that? Certainly I have not, and i know of thousands who have not. Nor are the newspapers al ways a safe guide. It you will watch the deliberations of any legislative body you will observe men of absolute honesty, long experi ence and wide knowledge of their pro fession making serious blunders, enact ing laws which serve a desired purpose only to find that the statute they have d. VI- d has failed utterly of its pur pose Or, again, you will find these •a ' ■ m< n opposing laws which time pro' - s would have been most benefl i :al, and opposing them not because of in, improper motive, hut because they ,n not perceive the benefits of the proposed measure. I’he tact that men choose certain of their members' to make their laws is no more a reflection of their own Intelli gence and good sense and ability than is the tact that men choose other men to conduct their lawsuits, heal their ills, build their houses or construct their railroads. As you charge your son tn learn to do one thing well before he attempts to do many things, so the voters must charge themselves with the task of do ing the one tiling, the selection of com petent representatives, well before they undertake great variety of task-, most of lii, m fa- more difficult than the se ■ lei tion of i single honest and able rep resentative. These are the reasons that President Tift ■ opposed to the initiative and tin- r. fe ■ ndum. He opposes them he lause i;, j do not constitute progress, Im in. i, ad are speejous makeshifts. 3
