PASSES BILL over

Margin.

WASHINGTON Speoial.-Repeat-

ed, the wool tariff bill over President
Taft's veto, the House Thursday re-
passed the vetoed steel and iron tariff
bill, within two hours after it had
been returned from the White House

The vote was 173 to SO, margin of
only two votes over the two-thirds
necessary to override the President
The Senate at almost the same time
was engaged in passing the Demo-
cratic cotton tariff bill sent it a week
ago by the House. Senator La Fol-
lette's substitute, which represented
the views of the Tariff Board was

Republicans later joined the Demo
Gratis and passed the cotton bill, SO

The repassed steel bill was sent i'm
mediately to the Senate. This measure

Friday by Senator Simmons, and an

that they can obtain the necessary
two-thirds vote as they did in the

CAMP LIFE SHOULD
RE COMFORTABLE

Ernest Thompson Seton, chief scout
of the Boy Scouts of America, en-
phasiZes the point about camping
which both the boys and their parents
frequently overlook. when l was a
boy" he says. L was of course eager
for a chance TO camp out, but 1 had
very wrong idea about it. l believed
that one must undergo all sorts of
hardships in order to be really doing
it; such as sleep on the ground with
one blanket, so without proper food,
etc. l knew some boys who were in
jured for life by such practices. 1t is
well, then, to keep in mind that camp
ing out offers a number of priceless
benefits, and is also beset by one or
two dangers. We Scouts aim to get all
the good and avoid all the i'll.
THE good things are: The pure air,
especially at night; the bracing and
lung-healing power of the woods; the
sun bath; the tonic exercise, and the
nerve rest.
THE bad things are: The danger of
rheumatism from sleeping on the
ground or in damp clothes; the eX-
haustiOn from bad nights through in
sufficient bedclOthes or an uncomfo fort
able bed, and the dangers arising from
irregular meals and badly cooked food.
have seen boys go back from an ill
run camp tired out and but little bene-
fitted; whereas, if properly looked after,
every camp should mean new spell
of life, a fresh start in Vigor, for every
one concerned

BILL FOR PENSIONS
PASSED BY SENATE

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Special
The Senate Wednesday yielded to
tie demands OF the House for the
abolition of the pensions agencies
throughout the United States and
passed the S15O.OOO,OOO pension
appropriation bill. with "a pro-
vision for the adjustment of the
agencies January 81, 1913.
The action of the conferceS was
the elimination OF a dispute
which has held up the pay
ment of over $9,0OO,0O0 of PEN
sion installmcntS, due Civil War
veterans on August 18th, and has
thrown the financial operations of
the Pension Bureau into chaos.
The House proposed that these
agencies he abolished December
31St of the present year. This
was tine only provision OF the bill
in dispute. and its settlement was
expected to end the deadlock be-
tween the House and the Senate.
Under the Senate provision, the
payment of all pensions would,
after the date named, be made
directly from the Pension Bureau,
at Washington. At present the
bureau has nothing to do with the
actual payment To veterans, the
checks going out through the
hands of the eighteen district PEN
sion agencies. The change would
abolish eighteen $1,000 jobs, and
result in the retirement or the
removal to Washington of several
hundred district clerks. \ saving
of about $25O,0OO in administra-
ton of the pension laws would
follow.
Senator McCumber. i'm asking
