Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 204, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 August 1912 — President Taft Signed the Appropriation Bill Friday. [ARTICLE]

President Taft Signed the Appropriation Bill Friday.

President Taft last Friday afternoon signed the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, which he twice previously vetoed, because of objections to the elimination of the appropriation for the commerce court and limitation of terms for civil service employes. The bill, as signed, merely grants appropriations for the court until March 4, 1913. The president’s acceptance of this compromise was taken to make certain the adjournment of congress by today.
