Taft vetoes wool tariff bill in message to House
President Taft vetoes House Bill No 11019 amending the tariff on wool and its manufacture. He cites lack of reliable cost data, the need for an impartial tariff board, and insufficient information to ensure proper protection levels. He notes prior tariffs and commissions, discusses Schedule K complexities, and describes the Senate compromise as not clearly protective or revenue only.
