WILSON'S VETO OF THE ..-
APPROPRIATION BILL
T. WINS IN THE HOUSE
Aided BY Handful Of Democrats, Re-
pubicans Fail To Obtain The
Necessary Two-Thirds

Washington. President Wilson s
veto of the legislative appropriation
bill as containing an infringement on
executive authority was sustained in
the house against the effort of the
Republican majority to override it.
Though aided by handful of Dem
ocrats, the Republicans failed by %
votes to obtain the necessary two
thirds majority to repass the bill over
the president 6isapproval. The meas
ure then went back to the appropria-
tons committee for elimination of the
section objected to and will be return
ed to the house for passage in its
modified form. q
The Republicans r~4sed up ITO votes
to overcome the veto, but the Demo
Gratis cast 1877 votes to sustain the
president The vote carries with it
a denial of opportunity for the senate
to attempt offsetGng the veto, for the
redrafted med lure will leave the house
without the provision relating to pow
ers of the joint committee on printing
at which the veto was aimed.
While the house was considering the
question, Senator Root of Utah. author
of the provision and chairman of the
Joint committee, told the senate that
the president had been misinformed as
to the effect of the provision which |
would have given the committee con-
troll of all government publications.
Roger Babson, formerly connected with
the committee on public information
and others attacking the joint COM
mittee were accused by Mr.. Smoot
of having misled the president.

COMMENT ON TREATY CALL
Underwood Sorry Treaty Was Not
Got Rid OF. But Says Wilson Put
IL Up To The Democrats

Washington. President Wilson.
call to the Democratic party 10 carry
the treaty ratification issue into the
campaign drew expressions from
members OF his own party, and also
from Senator Johnson Of California
leader OF the Republican irreconciI
able group in the senate treaty battle,
and other Republicans.
Senator Reed. in a statement de-
clared that such a platform would
mean for the Democrats the loss of
every state north of the Mason and
Dixon line and the breaking OF the
solid South. Senator Johnson also
in statement said he could respect the
presidents consistent advocacy of IN
reserved ratification, but had no re-
spect for pen whose views shifted
with the varying popular wind" Mr..
Bryan, in Florida, reaffirmed his dec
laratlon for immediate ratification by
joint action of Republican and Demo-
cratic treaty friends in order ito take
the issue out of the campaign"
The presidents demand that the
treaty shall be accepted exactly as he
brought it from Versailles is the finest
scheme of premeditated political sui
eide yet DEVISED" Senator Reed said.
ION such a platform as the president
demands, it is my opinion that we will
lose every state north of the Mason
and Dixon line and that the solid South |
will be broken"
Senator Reed added that coupled |
with President Wilson's announced in
.ention of vetoing the Knox peace
resolution, 1T amounts to nothing
more than a demand that the coun-
.ry shall remain indefinitely in a tech
ltcal state Of war with Germany and
Austria. The presidents attitude.
therefore,, is that we shall continue
he present state of war until he goes
tut of ctfice.'
"Of the 80 senators whose terms

tut one constituted the most ardent
Importers of the presidents position.
The seas of at least two-thirds of

SALES TAX is CUT
FROM BONUS BILL
Substitute to be Reported for Measure
to Relieve Ex-Service Men-TotaI
Bonus Reduced $4oo,ooo,ooo

Washington. - Republican members
of the house ways and means com,
mfttee agreed to bring in a substitute
for the soldier bonus bill with the pro-
posal for ! per cent tax on sales

necessary funds. Other tax provisions
of the bill would W extenaedt over
three years under tie agreement.
Under the new bill compensation
for home service is reduced from $125
to 81 for each day of service, while
payments for foreign service remains
at slips day. Payments would be
made for service from April G. 1917,
to July l, 1919, under the new bill in
stead of from April 6, 1917, to Janu-
airy l, 1920, as under the pending
measure.
The Republicans estimated that ap-
proximately $400,000,O0O in the cost
of the original measure has been elm
mated, and that the remodeled bill
would call for a total expenditure of
81, 100000. Taxes levied by the
bill would become effective next De-
cember and would include the increase
on incomes, tobacco and real estate
sales and new levy on stock and
grain exchange transactions.
Chairman Fordney, of the commit
tee said that the new bill would re-
move much of the opposition in Repub.
lican ranks resulting from the original
proposal to raise some of the reve-
nues through sales tax The new
measure will be offered to the house
as a compromise and Mr.. Fordney
said a caucus probably would not be
necessary.

address to the Atlantic fleet and mes
sage to Admiral Sims were laid be-
fore the senate naval investigating

the full consent and approval of the

by leaving the investigation of COM
bats with submarines to the British
admiralty, Secretary Daniels told the
senate naval investigating committee.
Had he known that American officers
were not reviewing the circumstances
of battles between American vessels
and U.boats, he would have perempto-

course, the secretary said.
