Washington, Aug. Is. - President
Taft carried out his threat TO veto the
wool tariff bill. In a special message
to the house OF representatives, he
characterized the measure as a blend
# an ayowed tariN-lorrcyenue and
anti-proteCtion measure with pro
,essed protection bill.
In explanation OF HIS course Presi-
lent TAFT said that the bill was not
in harmony with the platform on
which he was elected Furthermore, he
declared that the American people are
deeply impressed with the convic-
lion" that the interest of the consum-
'ng On lie can be properly guarded
only by revising tie tariff one SEIZED

and scientifically acquired informa-
zion"

shares this belief. Asserting that De-

the president says there is no public

After promising that the tariff board
will be ready to report in December,
the president argues that failure OF
the present bill should not be regard
ed. therefore. as taking away the only
chance for reduction by this congress.
The message will be accepted as an
indication that no tariff bill prepared

board upon schedules affected will 10

He sets forth that he r's elected
10 the presidency on a platform call
ing for a protective tariff eQualizing
the cost Of labor in the United States
with cheaper labor abroad and pro-
yiding for a reasonable profit for the
American manufacturers and produc-
ers besides.
He reiterates his belief in such
protective tariff and sets forth that 1t
only can be accomplished By having
~ hand the exact information result
ing from investigations of experts
that is by the tariff board.
OF all the tariff schedules, he de-
clares. the wool and wooden schedule
is the most complicated and therefore
the exact information to be adduced

DR.. WILEY TALKS
Brings Three Cabinet Men,
berS Into Scandal.
HOW RULING MAS REVERSED
Chemistry bureaus Decision, Adverse
to Corn Syrup" Men, Sup
pressed and Misbranding
Countenaneed.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley told the committee on ex-
penditures in the agricultural depart
ment number OF interesting things
about the way In which the pure food
and drug law is being administered
and the internal workings of the de-
partmeutal machine.
The most important testimony Oh
fered by Dr. Wiley was relative to the
suppression of a depa tmental decision
against labelling glucose as corn
syrup" after il had been printed and
ready for distribution to tie public
and subsequent decision by the
three secretaries OF the department Oh
agriculture, treasury and commerce
and labor. permitting the labelling OF
glucose as corn syrup.
This change was made, he said,
without the opinion being referred
again to him or to his associates.
Dr. Wiley charged that the manu-
facturers OF this product had onered
money to prominent commercial chem
lists to obtain opinions supporting
their contention that corn syrup
was a proper name for glucose. Inc III
specuOn board, endorsing his bureau,
found that corn syrup was an illegal
label on glucose.
"An the board joined in the decis-
ion" he said. and the decision was
approved by the secretary. This decis-
ion was sent to the printing office,
was set up and proofs taken, but 1t
was never sent out.
Later an exactly contrary decision
was published by the three members
of the cabinet vested with the juris-
diction in such matters, as pure food
decision under the food and drugs act.
In the Interval between the prepa-
ration OF cur decision ana the publica-
ton of the ruling by the three secre-
taries know that the Corn Products
company was very busy.
They tried to get certificates from
chemists. one OF whom later became a
member of the pure food referee
board. 10 show that corn syrup was
proper term for glucose. In one case
chemist informed me that he had
been offered money for sdch an opin-
ion. but he refused il.
When | leraned this. | wrote to all
the state chemists in the country who
are charged with enforcing pure food
laws, and put it up to them, to say
whether this was a proper label.
Every one answered in the mega
tive, and they were not offered any
money by me Or any one
DR.. Wiley said The president OF the
Corn Products company protested to
the board OF three cabinet officers, de
claring Dr. Wiley's appeal TO the state
chemists was unfair. Dr. Wiley was
asked by Secretary of Agriculture VIII
son to state what he had done, and he
supplied the secretary with his letter
TO chemists.
DR.. Wiley added that The decision
of the three secretaries, which took
the place Of the withdrawn decision
of the agricultural department, still re-
mains in force.
