Washington-By the narrow margin
Of five votes the House passed the
wool tariff revision bill over President
Taft's veto.
The vote, ia to so, was made pos
sible only by the detection of twenty
one Republicans who voted with the
Democrats.
The announcement of Democratic sue
cess created wild scene in the
House. and amid great confusion the
Republican leaders protested that
Speaker Clark must count as voting
ten members who answered present"
TO their names, ruling which would
have defeated the Democratic pro-
gram by overcoming the five-vote
margin and making impossible the re-
cording of the necessary two-thirds
vote. This the speaker declined to do.
Less than half an hour after the
wool bill had been repassed in the
House the conferees on the sugar tar
iff bill met and disagreed. They de-
cided to report 20 both the Houses it
had been found impossible to reach
compromise between the Underwood
and Lodge Bristow bills
This action is expected to mark tho
end of sugar tariff consideration in
the present session, and the excise tax
bill. which was framed to make up
revenues that would have been lost
by the reduction of the sugar tariff,
probably will remain in conference
when Congress adjourns
While Democratic and Progressive
Senate leaders do not believe the wool
bill can be passed in that body over
the Presidents veto, they will con-
tinue to demand action on the cotton
tariff measure.

chants have argued that the money
spent for these calendars would go a
long way toward making needed road
repairs. This would not only help the
farmers yet to town but show them al
SO that their trade is appreciated,
while being distinct advantage to
business interests as well. A number
OF merchants have therefore pooled

call, I'VE are giving our calendar
