The Ideals of a Great Citizen WILLI AM HOW ARD TAFT, according to an article by Mark Sullivan, had ac¬ cumulated no private means when he left the Presidency. “It was open to him and he was solicited to unite with some of the greatest law firms in New York. Taft declined. He said that as President it had happened to fall to him to appoint about 60 percent of all the district, circuit, and Supreme Court justices on the United States bench. He could not, he said, appear before his own appointees as an advocate in private litigation. And he accepted the small remuneration of a teacher at Yale University. This action is in striking contrast to the for¬ mer members and employees of the Federal Radio Commission who have taken positions with the radio monopolies which they had previously been obliged to deal with as mem¬ bers of the Commission, thus placing them¬ selves in a situation where the information they gained as public servants may be used for private advantage contrary to the public interest.
