When tiie committees of the senate
pnd house, appointed to inform the
president that the extraordinary ses
sion was ready to adjourn, called at
the presidents room, the bill had not
t>een signed.
"Well. I have not signed the bill
yet," said the president. "Do you think
that I ought to adjourn congress before
1 f=ign it?"
The announcement had been made
by Aldrioh on the theory that nothing
stood in tlse way of adjournment. There
having been a great deal of talk about
the possibility of a veto, everybody in
the room caught the significance of the
president's jocular remark.
•1 certainly do not," hastily replied
Fenator Aldrich.
The delay in laying the bill before
tii* president was due to Representa
tive Payne's desire to convey the docu
ment to the president personally.
Signs Philippine Tariff
After attaching his name to the gen
eral tariff bill Taft signed the Philip
pine tariff bill.

Address by Cannon
Before adjourning the house Speaker
Cannon said in part:
. 'The majority is responsible from
time to time for our legislation. We
have performed our duty to the best of
our ability. At times the contests have
been warm, but there is one good thing
about representing the American popu

the legislation is complete, unless it is
quite objectionable, the people of the

legislation and we move on."

Downward Revision Has
Been Effected, Taft Says
While Not Perfect, President^Believes New
Tariff Substantially Redeems Pledge
WASHINGTON*. Aug. 6. — President
Taft tonight gave out a statement em
bodying his views of the new tariff act.
He supported it as a sincere effort for
downward revision. The statement fol
lows:
"I have signed the Payne tariff bill
because I believe it to be the result of
sincere effort on the part of the repub
lican party to make a downward re
vision and to comply with the prom
ises of the platform as they have been
generally understood and as I' inter
preted them In the campaign. ' ,
"This is not a perfect tariff bill or a
complete compliance with the promises
made strictly interpreted, but a ful
fillment free from criticism in respect
to a subject matter'' involving many
schedules and thousands of articles
could not be expected. It suffices to say
that except with regard to whisky,
liquors and wines and in regard to
silks and. to some high classes of cot
tons, all of which may be treated as
luxuries and proper subjects of a reve
nue tariff, there have been very few
increases in rates.
"There have been a great number of
real decreases in rates and they consti
tute a sufficient amount to justify the
statement that this bill Is a substan
tian downward revision and a reduc
tion of excessive rates.
•This is not a free trade bill. It was
not intended to be. The republican
party did not promise to make a free
trade bill.
"It promised to make the rates pro
tective, but to reduce them when they
exceeded j the difference between the
cost of production abroad and here,
making allowances for the greater nor
mal profit on active investments here.
I believe that while this excess has not
been reduced in a number of cases, in
a great majority the rates are such as
are Necessary to protect American In
dustries, but are low enough in case of
abnormal increase of demand and rais
ing of prices to permit the possibility
INSURGENTS OUSTED
FROM COMMITTEES
Cannon Carries Out Threat to
Depose Rules Solons Who
Formed Opposition
WASHINGTON. Augr. s.—Representa
tives Fowler of New Jersey, Gardner
of Massachusetts and Cooper of "Wis
consin, thrge of the "rules insurgents"
who held chairmanships in the last
session of congress, have lost their
committees.
Vreeland of Xew York succeeds Fow
ler as head of the committee on bank
ing and currency, and Rodenberg of
Illinois succeeds Gardner as chairman
of the committee on industrial arts
and expositions. Cooper was replaced
by Olmsted of Pennsylvania. David
son of Wisconsin is retained as head
of the committee on railways and
canals.
These members participated in the
fight on the rules at the beginning of
this session and thus incurred the
speaker's displeasure.
Although "Wanger of Pennsylvania
was the ranking member of the last
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, Mann of Illinois, who has
been most active on that committee,
succeeded to the chairmanship. Gard
ner of New Jersey also was the rank
ing member of his committee (post
offices and postroads), but Weeks of
Massachusetts has received the chair
manship of that important committee.
Alexander of New- York succeeds to
the position as head of the committee
on rivers and harbors, and Parker of
Xew Jersey 13 made chairman of the
judiciary committee.
Dwight of Xew York, the republican
whip, gets Crumpacker's place on the
ways and means committee. Ellis of
Oregon was appointed to fill the va
cancy on the same committee caused j
by the death of Cushman.

"The authority of the president to.use

PLAN MORE BURDEN
FOR SAN FRANCISCO
State Tax Equalizers Would In»
crease Assessment Roll to
Aid Other Counties
'Notwithstanding the fact that San
Francisco pays more than a third' of
the taxes of California, the state board
of equalization proposes to increase
the burden.
A formal notice to tills effect was
received late yesterday by John Behan,
clerk of the supervisors. It-was a
printed notice with the name, place
and. "date of protest stamped in. All
objections must be made. at_Assessor
Dodge's office between' the hours' of 10
a. m. and 4 p. m. "Wednesday, August
25. * This announcement gives "prop
erty owners an opportunity to make^a
protest.
The present tax roll of San Francisco
is for $492,000,000. The valuation of
Assessor Dodge was thus settled by the
supervisors sitting as a county board
of equalization. The supreme court
has decided that no individual assess
ments can be raised after the -county,
board has fixed the rolls. The sttlte,
however, can raise the figures of the
whole. ', \u25a0'-. . ,
STATK'* SHARRAOT FIXED f;
The state receives about 40 cents on
each $100 of the county taxes.. If it
increases the roll it is able to take
not only its regular share, but 40
cents.of the amount of its raise, which
is lost by the county. The state's share,
however, is not fixed until September.
! Taken from the year of ISS2 the
board has raised the San Francisco
valuation in the rates of S, 15, 10, 12,
30, 20, 15 and 20 per cent respectively.
If stood at 20 per cent until 1904, when
it was raised to 30 per cent. The
board now proposes, to make it more
"than 30 per cent.
JVOTICE FROM EQUALIZERS t
The tendency of the state equalizers
to pile up San Francisco's burddri- has
long been a cause of protest." Its pres
ent formal notice reads:
Please take notice and inform the
board of supervisors of the county of
San Francisco that' the state board of
equalization, having examined the as
sessments upon the assessment roll or
book for the year 1909 for said county,
proposes to increase the entire assess
ment: roll, or book of said county for
said year, except property; exempt from
taxation increase, for the purpose of
making the assessments conform to the
true value in: money of the property
contatnftd In said roll, so as to equalize
the value of the taxable property of
the several counties in the state for th«»
purpose of taxation.
The board will- consider nil objections
that may be made to. such increase at
the assessor's office, in San Francisco,
on "Wednesday, the 25th day of August

the deferred payments of 50 per cent
are merely unsecured promises -which
would fall of : realization if I the new
concern did .not succeed in business.
The lack of financial experience of the
men connected with the project and the
absence of conservative principles and
safeguards for success.are*,. are*, to my mind,
unfortunate features of the enterprise.
"There is a wide difference between
the valuation I place upon ; the assets
of the California safe deposit and trust
company and' the value -placed upon
them by Mr. Bartnett. and his; associates.
Mr. Bartnett says they are worth $9,
000,000. Reckoning the 41,500 shares
of Western Pacific stocks at ?30 per
share, today's market value, I value
the total assets at $3,940,429.79."
Not; only have the stock holders rep
resented in the reorganization Bcheme
approved the Bartnett scheme, but they
have shifted the $500,000 originally
subscribed to their . holding, company
"plan into the required fund of $1,000,000
called for by the New York plan. They,
have increased this to $600,000 and are
now circulating a petition to "secure
the remaining $400,000."
Yesterday afternoon about. &0 prom

their attorneys met in newly ; rented
offices in the Kohl building and formed"
an association to take hold of the:ac

The reorganization committee of the

This committee is satisfied, that the property

of a golnjr concern Is worth about $9,000,000,

CRIME A DISEASE
SAYS STOMACH MAN
Bad Digestion Warps Mental
Attitude and Lowers
Moral Tone
Eating Too iWuch More Apt to
Nourish Body Poorly Than
Eating too Little
Is crime a disease? Docs morality
hinge on the mentality, and is a man
good or wicked according as his health
is;normal or .his stomach is out of
order? Cooper, the "stomach man," as
he is callfed in the east, claims ; that
this is true. lie was meeting: callers
yesterday at the Owl drug store, in the
Phelan building. He said:
"I believe; that 90' per cent of all ill
health is caused by stomach; trouble!
And I believe the stomach affects the
mentality and that the condition of a
man's thinking apparatus controls his
conduct as a citizen. Experts on
criminology prove by statistics that
practically, all crimes are committed by
individuals of weak mentality and
poorly nourished bodies.^ Medical rec
ords 'show\ that, a disordered mental
attitude results from' a disordered nerv
ous system. .
"A man doesn't have to eat too little
to have a poorly nourished body. A
poorly nourished body is far more apt
to result from eating too much. A man
stuffs himself with rich food, fails to
take: exercise as nature intended, and
then gets dopey, droopy, tired and half
sick. He wonders w.hy. It's as simple
as ABC. ; With such a mass of food
in his stomach it becomes overloaded,
won't work and he is poorly nourished.
He has bad dreams, gets a- warped view
ot everything. The whole world seems
to be against him. If this has been
going on from his earliest babyhood he
becomes acriminal.
"I have a medicine that I know will
put a stomach in a -..normal, healthy
condition :in four to six weeks' thne.
I have talked with thousands of people
since I have been in San Francisco
many thousands more in the east be
fore I came here. Not one person out
of 20 knew, what was the matter with
themselves. l I know that all this
chronic ill health is caused primarily
by stomach* trouble and nothing else.
I also know that the preparation I came
here to Introduce will tone up the di
gestive organs, and I know that mighty
few 1 persons can be sick with a di
gestive 'apparatus in perfect shape."
One of those who had thanked Cooper
for what his medicine had done for
them was M. Henry Meyers of 948 Mis
sion street. He said:
"For two years I have suffered tor
tures, beyond description. I thought
my trouble was catarrh of the stomach
and I have been ; treated by various
physicians at different times for stom
ach trouble. *-..: I have been told many
times that _ nothing could be done for
me. I have tried everything. I .had
almost. given 'up hqpe when I heard of
Cooper. He gave me some of his
stomach"* medicine and now I am a well
man. I am willing to give all the
credit to this man's remedies. They are
wonderful." --.*.

Belmont - - Cal.
Twenty-flve miles south of San Francisco. Is
trying (and ire think with reasonable snecsss).
to do for the moral, physical and intellectual
welfare of Its boys what erery thoughtful parent
most wishes to have done. Its location beyond
the dlTersions and temptations of town or city.
the fineness of its climate. th« beauty of Its
buildings and. grounds, the range and attractive-
ness of the surrounding country, are most helpful
aids. Ask our patrons, our graduates and. our
boys about us, and write us for catalogue and
speclSc information.
