CONFORMS TO VIEWS
Of PRESIDENT TAFT
Amendment to Pure Food and
Drugs Act by Representa-
tive Richardson.

Representative Richardson Of Alabama
has introduced q bill in the House to
amend the pure food and drugs act IN
conformity with the suggestions Of the
President in his recent message to Con-
gress. In explanation Of his bill. Mr..
Richardson said today:
II prepared and introduced. by the re-
quest Of the chairman OF the interstate
and foreign commerce committee OF the
House, the bill to amend sections 6 and
8 Of the food and drugs act.
Primary Purpose Of Measure.
Primarily, the chief purpose Of the
amendment Is to meet the decision Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
handed down May %, 1911. in the case Of
the United States agt. Johnson. which
held in substance as interpreted 1t that
a statement on q label on q patent medi-
cine bottle applied to the identity Of the
contents or ingredients, but that the ven
der could make any statement about the
curative properties Of the article on the
label. however false and misleading 1t
might be.
Yet the court held that the vendor for
such Misrepresentation Of it's curative
properties could not be amenable I'M
der the law. The President of the United
0tdlcs, III special message, CailcQ the
attention Of the Congress to the i'm
portance Of this decision. 1t can be seen
at once what vast field OF wrong and
injury to the people is opened up by this
decision. Some of the very best effects
of this great law as wrought iii the past
will be annulled.
To Correct Defects.
1.-THE amendment that I have prepared
seeks to correct, and believe will cor
rect. the defects pointed out My our
court. AS an ally to the preservation of
the integrity Of the food and drugs act the
amendment requires such compounders or
vendors to have a license under the law
Of the state or community, in medicine or
pharmacy.
Disconnected with the above considera-
ton. the amendment proposes to include.
In section 8 of the law. and soda and
potash lye.' Many very strong reasons,
It seems to me. demand this addition to
the law. The bill 1 prepared goes to the
committee on commerce of the House for
discussion or such change as the commit
tee may determine, and then will doubt
less be reported promptly to the House."

Senator Thornton. the new senator
from Louisiana, Immediately argued

ure on the ground that 1t Disseminated
against the agricultural element.
Admitting the proba bility Of the defeat
OF the Root provision, Mr. Thornton still
advocated it. He said he did not want
Canada to get the advantage that would
be given by the wood pulp provision as
1t stands.

"Oh. simply want a little republican
leaven in it," Mr. Clark replied. He add
ed that he was against the whole agree
ment with Canada.
New England Warned.
Mr.. Clark declared that section OF
the bill dealing with wood pulp and prin,
paper IL supported especially by the
American Publishers Association, which
he charged. would save $6OOO.OOO from Its
enactment and that this association, con.
trolling the principal newspapers Of the
country, had demanded free paper in and
out of season, in disregard of fairness
and republican doctrines.
He taxed New England advocates OF

lection.

Not Designed for Cars.

1.-The Connecticut Avenue bridge was
designed for the ordinary tran1c of
vehicles not for street car use, and there
is a certain esthetic objection to the dis
turbance of the thoroughfare by over
crowding the bridge approach to the
wider avenue beyond, which would result
from the laying Of double lines of tracks.
leaving too CONSTRUCTED space for car
riages and automobiles on either side.
However II the practical advantages Of
the use Of the bridge by the street car
lines are great, and convenience of access
to the territory northwest OF the bridge
is thereby much improved. the commits
sion of fine arts is Of the opinion that the
esthetic objections are not strong enough
to outweigh the practical considerations.
OF course, the commission understands
the overhead trolley will not be used on
the bridge"
