Taft Vetoes Army Appropriation Bill Over Wood Ouster
President Taft vetoed the army appropriation bill today and sent it back to Congress with amendments. He criticizes the bill for attaching riders that would remove Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood as chief of staff on March 4 next and for reorganizing the army within a money bill. The veto leaves the army without funding for the next fiscal year unless Congress passes a clean appropriation, preserving Wood in his post and blocking the proposed reorganization.
