Taft urges amendment to Panama canal bill in special message
President Taft sent a special message to Congress urging an amendment to the Panama canal bill, which has passed both houses for a joint resolution allowing foreign nations to test the free tolls provision under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The steel tariff and wool bills failed to regain Senate passage necessary to override the veto, with steel at 82 to 39. House vote on the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill over Taft's veto failed 158 to 107, as 17 Democrats abstained, blocking a seven year term clause and the commerce court abolition.
