Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 June 1912 — Old Cry of “T. R.” [ARTICLE]

Old Cry of “T. R.”

One reason given by Mr. Roosevelt for bls recantation off opinion in the matter of Canadian reciprocity Is that the agreement "carried-. Indefensible action on paper.” The reference is to the provision placing wood pulp and printing paper on the free list. This provlsloh, which, by the way, Is the only part of the reciprocity act that went Into effect and remains Ip effect, scarcely needs to be defended. It is “Indefensible” only in the view of the Paper Trust. The conclusion is near that this must be one of T. R.’s “good" trusts, to, assail or otherwise displease which is not only "Indefensible,” but is a “crooked deal” or something like that.
