WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-Mr. Cook of
Colorado took another whack at Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the House OF Repre-

President vetoed. 1t was said in the
statement that 1t was pointed out to
Mr.. Cook that the Constitution required

the transfer OF four or FIVE post Offices

from Postmaster General Meyer telling
him that but one Office was 80 changed

to the proposed boundary change was the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. owned by

desired no change. because it wanted to
continue to escape taxation on its coal

Mr.. Cook observed that the President did
not seem to be anxious to disturb the oil
