PRESIDENT TAFT
 |SCR|T|C|SED Report on Underwood Wool Tariff Bill Is Submitted
 to House

Washington, June e.-Sharply criticising President Taft, the republicans and tho tariff board, the report on the Underwood wool bill was submitted to the House to- day by the democratic members of the ways and means committee. Quoting President Taft's addresses after the pas sage of the Payne-Aldrich bill, in which he declared that the ''woolen schedule Is indefensble and l propose to say so,' the report says:
 Had the President made these public admissions earlier while the tariff or 1909 was under consideration by Con gress his declarations would have been of real service to the people and would have enabled them to protest against the betrayal of the public welfare to private greed"
 The report continues:
 '"The Presidents silence at that time and his approval of the act of 1909 makes it impossible for him to evade his full share of responsibility for the failure of revision which he now admits"
 The report deals at some length with the attitude of the administration in not communicating to Congress data on the "steel trust and other industries now being investigated and the failure of the tariff board to communicate data on the woolen industry.
 "The position of the tariff board ap- pears to be-" says the report. "that they. in conference with and under the sole control of the President, shall be the sole judges as to what part of the data they collect may be likely to be of service for purposes of legislation and this situation must be considered with reference to the viewpoint of the President concerning tariff legislation.
 .It is. therefore, not impossible that there may be some such delay in the com munication to the Congress of statistica information collected by the tariff board concerning wool and woolen goods, az there has been in communicating to Con- eress and making public the data by the bureau of corporations concerning investi- cations of the steel and other industries. The report maintains that any further delay in the revision of the wool and wooden schedule would be objectionable to | the public In exp,aining the determina- | ton of the committee not to put raw wool on the free list but to reduce the pres ent duty to 20 per cent ad valorem, the committee insists as the democratic eau cus did. that the duty lis not to be con- strued as an abandonment of any dem ocratic policy
 "The present situation of the treasury" the report states, requires that the reve- nue from customs duties in the immediate future be maintained as approximately the total of the fiscal year 1910"
 All the democratic members of the ways and means committee with the exception of Francis Burton Harrison of New York signed the report.

Kolb, com missioner of agriculture and tho newest trustees, and T. D. Sanford of Opelika | The roll of classes was called by Alum nj President Harold and a touching in timacy was given the occasion by the
 many responses from 1868 to 1912. i This morning, again, came another manifestation of love and reverence fol an old alumnus, Dr. J. H. Drake. Dr. | Drake, the college surgeon, probably | is the best loved attache of the col | lege. Far back, as far as the oldest | person on the college force can re- | member. Dr. Drake has ministered to | the college boys, as well as to the townspeople, and has told them things out of his unfailing stock of anec- dotes and they love him. They gave | him loving cup, also. w. K. Terry of | Birmingham made the speech of presen- tation.
 | The prospect of the two gifts had | been maintained a strict secret since | the idea first was formulated; none was surprised more than the recipients. l The presentation of the cup to Dr. | Drake was made directly after the alumni address by pr. L. w. Payne of the University of Texas. The address | was one with the mark of great schol- ariy creation. It was "The Progressive Alumnus," and it pleaded for a recogni- tion of the needs of aesthetic culture in the life of every man; 1t was de- fcnse of the finer culture; 1t entailed a refutation of the common theory that youth is the best of life. Like Brown 1 ing, Dr. Payne said that age is the pe-
 riod of fulfllment.
 Governor O'Neal was called directly
 after the presentation of the cup and he spoke a few words of compliment tc Auburn.
 The alumni meeting, hold after the speechmaking, resulted in the re-elec- | tion of Charles l.. Harold of Montgom- cry as president of the association, R D. Webb as secretary and treasurer, and the election of J. E. D. Shipp, a news paper man of Americus, Ga., as alumni | orator.
