DECLARES TAFT
JEkYLL AND HYDE
LEADER UNDERWOOD GIVES A
PERTINENT REPLY TO Ex-
CUSE FOR VETO.

BIRMINGHAM ALA, Sept. 21.--
President Taft was characterized as
Dr. Jekyil and Mr.. Hyde on the
tariff question by Oscar w. Under
wood at his home here tonight after
he had read the Presidents Grand
Rapids speech,
Mr.. Underwood said:
The President seems to be much
aCgrieved in his speech that Congress
should legislate on the important
question of the tariff without suffi-
cient information. He overIooks the
fact that the Payne bill was enacted
into law less than two years before
the House prepared the bill that he
vetoed; that there were 10000 pages
OF testimony taken at the time tho
Payne tariff law was written: that
conditions in this country had not
changed to any material extent he
tween that time and the time when
were prepared by the Ways and Means
Committee of the House
Mr.. Taft thinks that Congress
ought not to legislate until it had
Information To determine the COM
parative difference between the cost
Of production OF dutiable articles un-
der the various tariff schedules In
this country and abroad" continued
Mr.. Underwood. "Of course, the
President did not think this infor-
nation was necessary when he signsd
the Payne bill which was in the
interest Of the manufacturer. being Il
revision upward. and careful inforina-
ton Is required only when the revi-
sion Is downward and In the interes.

COMMITTEE.

MONEY IS NEEDED To CONNECT Up
STRETCHES on GREAT Pc
NINSULA HIGHWAY NEAR
SEVEN PINES.
SUPPLY MISSING LINK

The Council Committee on Finance
last night recommended for adoption
an appropriation of $1,000 for good
roads in the vicinity of Richmond
the understanding being that most Of
the money will be spent on a stretch
of road extending for several miles
beyond Seven Pines, which Is at pres
ent something of a missing link In
the highway from Richmond to Old
Point Comfort and Newport News An
urgent plea for q city appropriation
for this purpose was made several
nights ago by several leading bust
ness men of Richmond, who are
greatly interested In good roads, be-
lieving that nothing contributes more
toward the commerce and material
welfare of a city. Approval Of the
Finance Committee means that the
resolution specifying this amount Of
money for good roads will doubtless
SO through Council without any par
ticular trouble when 1t is reported
from the committee.
Other m easures recommended for
adoption were:
TRANSITIONAL of $4,000 from a spe-
cial repair fund To the acquisition ot
a piece OF property in the rear of the
Regimental Armory, this money hay
ing been originally voted by Council
for repair of the armory. Later, it
was deemed best not to expend 1t for
that purpose.
Appropriation of $1,000 toward en-
tertainment Of the United Daughters
Of the Confederacy when they meet
here in November.
Approval OF the report OF the as
SCISSOR OF damages recommending that
s1,75o be appropriated for the pay
ment OF certain damages along Nine
teenth street. between Marshall and
Pleasant: Twenty-eighth street be-
tween Q and II: Cary and Beverly
streets. between the old and new cor
poration limits This Is for the pur-
pose of clearing the way for improve
ments along these thoroughfares.

jects reciprocity. AT this hour tha
returns indicate a landslide against
the treaty.
The latest summary of returns

No doubt remains therefore as the

But as to the ability of the conser-

analysis OF the returns and the future

Eight ministers OF the Laurier gov-
eminent have gone down to defeat
including Finance Minister Fielding
and Minister of Commerce Patterson,
who negotiated the agreement at
Washington. Other cabinet minis
ters who have gone down in the
