\RMY BILL VKTVKD.
The rroMfnt fcxs very properly
vetoed the army appropriation bill,
and in so di\r.c has given a strong
ooe4#a#?iion of the practice which
the present Democratic con cress has
carried to an unprecedented extent
of attracting matters of funeral leg
islation as "riders" to appropriation
bills, the obvious purpose of *hicl.
is to render it extremely difficult
for the president to exercise the '
veto powers which the constitution
imposed upon him.
The most serious objection to
the armr apppopriat 10a bill is that
it contains a rieoe of "spite" legis
lation. in the provision designed to
remove arbitrarily from his posi
tion Vaj Gen Leonard Wood, the
chief of staff of the army Farther,
the president criticised the prov is
ion by which it *as proposed to
provide a commission of retired
army officers to pass upon the Ques
tion whether obsolete and useless
army posts should be abolished or
retained
There is a connect jot. between
these two provisions, rot obvious
on the surface Representative Hay
of the house committee, who is bit
terly and personally hostile to Gen
Wood, was father of the provision
to legislate the ceneral out of office
Senator Warren, of Wyoroinc. is in
tent upon saving to his state army
posxs the usefulness of *hich has
long gone by By postponing the
matter of eliminating these army
posts to ihe distant future he hopes
to retain them for kis constituents
to profit by The one provision
was the price of support for the
other, in the conference be; * ->en the
two houses
Not* ithstanding the fact that I
Gen Wood owes his position in the
army entirely to the personal favor
of Col Roosevelt, he has been a
most admirable officer, and it
would be the height of in just ice to
deprive him of his position in the
manner contemplated The bill is
bad lecislation. the product of a
peculiarly bad method of log-roll
