TAKE NOTICE CITIZENS.

Everybody is requested to assist
In giving to Covington clean and
presentable appearance during the
Bankers Convention April 26 and
~. All trash piles and refuse in
yards and alleyways should be re-
moved and the premises beautifief
in every way possible. Streets and
public places will no doubt be taken
care of by the town, but much can be
added to the attractiveness of the
place If citizens will assume the duty
that falls to them in the care of
private property.

OTHER TARIFF MEASURES
WILL FARE LIKEWISE
ASKS Congress Not To Adjourn Until
II Enacts Measure To Substantially
Reduce Unnecessary Existing Du-
ties"-House May Pass over Veto.
(By Associated PreSS.)

Washington, Aug. 9.-For the Sec
ond time within a year President Taft
today vetoed bill to revise the wool
tariff schedule of the Payne-Aldrich
law. The president returned to Con-
gress the bill evolved as a compro-
mise between the House and Senate,
holding it's low rates would bring dis
aster to home industries. He ap-
pealed to Congress, however, not to
adjourn until it enacted a measure to
substantially reduce unnecessary
existing duties" without destroying
protection for the wool industry in the
United States. The presidents dis
approval of the wool bill is to be fol
lowed with similar vetoes of the steel
bill and cotton bill The sugar bill is
likely to be vetoed as is the excise
bill, the latter on the ground probably
that the president believes it uncon
stitutional. 1t is predicted today the
wool bill might be passed by the House
over the Presidents veto, but there
was some doubt as to its fate in the
Senate.
