Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1911-07-28

Washington, D. c., July 2S.-Pres-
ident Taft today was urged by several
stand pat Republican leaders of the
Senate and House to veto any wool re-
vision bill that is likely to be agreed
upon in the Forthcoming conference
on the House and La Toilette compri-
mise woolen measures.
Democratic leaders in the House
informally conferred today over plans
to meet the Senate's sudden move in
rushing aside the House wool bill and
Passing the LaFollette compromise
measure through Democratic Pro-
gressive-Republican coalition.
General sentiment among the Dem
ocratic leaders seemed to favor a
compromise at a 30 per cent ad val
orem on raw wool. The House Dem
ocrats are almost unanimous in the
belief that the bill will be agreed up
on in conference.
Wool Will Advance.
Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, D. C., July 2S.-Chair
man Underwood said that the House
would not agree to the wool bill as
passed by the Senate. He believes
that thirty per cent duty will be
about the compromise of the joint
committee and that Congress will be
ready to adjourn a few days after
the vote on the statehood bill on
August seventh"
1t is believed that upon President
Taft vetoing the wool bill, on account
OF the large increased demand for
wool for immediate necessities by man
ufacturers, and no chance of getting
foreign wool at the reduced tariff rate
that wool in this country Will quickly
advance several cents per pound.
Speaker Clark appointed Delegate
Andrews on a committee to attend
the funeral of Representative Kipp oi
Pennsylvania.
Pleading for Veto.
Washington, D. c., July 2S.-Sena-
tor Crane of Massachusetts, Repre-.
sentative Weeks of the same state,
end Representative Bartholdt, of Mis-.
souri,, were among the men who ad-
vised the president to use the veto on
any wool revision bill likely to come
from the forthcoming conference.
Conspiracy to Hurt Taft.
It was the belief, they said, that Mr..
Taft would not injure himself in the
eyes of the country by vetoing wool
revision bill not based on specific data
furnished by the tariff board. The
congressman advanced the idea that
the Senate coalition of insurgents and
Democrats was an attempt to put the
president Gin hole" politically.
Executive disapproval of a measure
designed for such purpose they told
the president, could not work to his
cjscredit.
Veto Probable.
While the president himself main.
tains silence as to what course he will
pursue if wool revision bill is pre-
sented to him, the limitations are
stronger today that he will not hesi-
tate to use the veto.
This would put an end to all at.
tempts to revise schedule X and
would serve as deterrent to revision
of other tariff schedules at this tine.
House AppIauds.
Amid applause the House today re-
ceived the new compromise~wool bill
from the Senate. No action was tax.
