REPORTED AGAIN
Democrats Declare Taft Should
Approve It. Despite Former
Veto—Score Tariff Board.
WASHINGTON. June 4.—Declaring
the report of the tariff board lacks in
formation needed to revise the tariff
and pointing out the -ante "weakness"
as existed in the report on the wool
schedule, the ways and means commit
tee today reported the cotton bill. This
measure is identical with the bill pass
ed last session and vetoed by President
Taft. It provides a reduction of duties
on all cotton products varying from 25
to 45 per cent
The ’Democrats argue this measure
should meet the approval of President
Taft, “despite the fact that he vetoed it
al the last session.”
The majority members uphold the
Underwood bill as “practical legisla
tion" and attack the tariff board be
cause of "its failure to deal completely
with any phase of the proposed reduc
tion." The report especially calls at
tention to the .refusal of the board to
give the names of English cotton mills
from which the tariff experts obtained
the Information that wages are higher
in this country than in the United
Kingdom.
Minority members of the committee
also filed their substitute bill prepared
by Representative Hill, of Connecticut.
It follows conclusions of the tariff
hoard The rates in the bill are slight
ly. higher than in the Underwood bill,
being based on protection instead of
“revenue only.” The majority report
says:
Board's Report Inadeauate.
The only change which has occurred
in the situation since list summer is
the submission of the tariff board re
port on cotton manufactures which was
submitted to congress by the president
in his message of March 26. 1912. In
his message the president said : ‘I now
recommend that the congress proceed
to a consideration of this schedule with
a view to its revision and a reduction
in its rates.'
"The executive tariff is now- in har
mony with the majority members of
this house on the genera! policy to be
adopted in spite of his veto of last
summer and the only question remain
ing is to w hat extent the reduction In
cotton duties shall be carried.
"It was pointed out In the previous
house report that the tariff board re
port on won! was not in reality a tariff
report. This comment is applicable to
the report on cotton manufactures, al
though, the latte r contains much more
material than the former concerning
rates of duty and the method by which
they are tn be levied."

WAGES FIFTEEN YEARS
PAN FRANCISCO. June 4. In the
first decision of the kind of California
industrial accident board has ruled that
Harry Christ, an employee of the Paci
fic Telephone and Telegraph Company,
who lost an eye while at work, shall
receive SIOO for medical and surgical
expenses, full wages for hospital time,
65 per cent of his wages for the fol
lowing eight weeks, 65 per cent, of his
estimated loss in earning capacity

pair a man's earning capacity. it in
creases the difficulty of finding work.

PEFFER LOSES LEG
TO FINISH HISTORY
OF POPULIST PARTY
TOPEKA, June 4.—ln a little room
in Christ hospital, a thin, gray-haired
and whiskered man lies on a couch
and dictates for 20 to 30 minutes four
times a day, that th" real hlstorv of
Populism may be preserved. At S 2
years he has suffered the amputation
of a leg that this history may be com
pleted. It probably never will be pub
lished. but will be kept in the archives
of the Kansas State Historical society,
where it may be ’read by historians in
the years to come.
William A. Peffer was the first and
only Populist senator from Kansas.
The guileless, long-whiskered man was
the butt of the cartoonists and joke
smiths. and his whiskers furnished am
munition for bombardments of ridicule.
One chapter of the book is devoted to
the "Whiskers of Populism." Peffer has
the same whiskers h- has always worn.
