prompted President Taft to veto the
steel bill, which he said had been
passed by republican senate with
but two slight amendments. He re-
ferred to the presidents explanation
that changes had been made in the
schedule as it was presented to him
last year ,and that congress had
vouchsafed no explanation for these
changes.
"a statement Of that kind in great
public document is not only lamenta-
BILE but it is pitiable," said Mr.. Un-
derwood. HE vetoes public meas
ure because in the lapse of years
time the congress Of the United States
had determined to change the rates
therein and has not communicated to
him the reasons for the change.
"Any man Of intelligence or any
man Of conscience. any man having
respect for himself. would not send
to the congress Of the United States
that statement as a reason for de-
feating the will of the American peo-
tatives in the congress of the United
States"
Mr.. Underwood said that the bill
imposed a duty of approximately
G,enty-two per cent on steel products
that ten per cent would cover
t.. difference in the cost OF labor
at home and abroad. This statement
was combatted by Representative
Payne Of New York, former Speaker
Cannon and other republican leaders
Mr.. Cannon charged the democrats
with playing politics in pressing
the veto and aroused Mr.. Under
woods ire by declaring that the ma
jority leader would be the most dis
appointed man of all If the bill should
become a law Mr.. Underwood re-
sented having his sincerity questioned
and retorted sharply.
AS an added chapter to the tariff
bill on the floor. Mr.. Underwood Just
before adjournment announced to
the house the failure of the house
conferees to reach any agreement
with the senate on the sugar tariff
revision measure The house voted
to send the bill back to conference
with j -tructions that the house con-
ferees refuse to agree to the senate
amendments.
The debate Of the cotton bill in the
senate was short The amendment
offered by Senator LaFollette was

He said in part:
I'VE have met too long behind

ut is our business to educate the
public. There is not a physician that
would not rather help to prevent dis
ease than to treat it. The American
Medical association is striving to ed
ucate. The public press is being util-
lied. Editors are only too glad to
give of their space.
We much have proper laws In
order that they may be passed We
must have the cooperation of the peo-
pie, for they pass the laws.
"We are driving out the great
white plagu by educating the people.
If we all do our work at home it will
soon be accomplished.

affllctions of our felloWmen as do the
