More from Robert Taft
I can not make myself a party to dealing with the industries of the country in this way.
Pledged to support a policy of moderate protection, I can not approve a measure which violates its principle.
I would rather cut off my right hand than do anything to disturb the business of this country.
Now, Therefore, I, William Howard Taft, President of the United States of America, do, in accordance with the provisions of the Act of Congress and the joint resolution of Congress herein named, declare and proclaim the fact that the fundamental conditions imposed by Congress on the State of Arizona to entitle that State to admission have been ratified and accepted, and that the admission of the State into the Union on an equal footing with the other States is now complete.
