Ouc more the tariff question loom , large and compelling. President Taft in vetoing the bills passed In, special session, promised that the tar board would be rpady to report at th opening of the coming session upon several schedules, Including the wool en and cotton items.;. Congress will then have In hand data for that "scientific" revision which has been so long urged by expert students of the tariff. The president will endorse, It Is presumed, any revision measures based upon the board's report What .the democrat majority In the house may think of it is, quite another mat ter. Democrat leaders generally look asance at the Taft board and Its ef forts. Another big subject ready for air ing In congress is the general one oU corporations and their regulation. Exhaustive hearings are under way by the senate committee on Interstate commerce. Recent supreme court decisions In the oil and tobacco cases and the government suit filed against the steel trust gives the whole prob lem new significance. It Is one of - j , .,1 ,the most jmpqrjant and difficult jiuea- tlons on the whole government cal endar. The Sherman antitrust law Is likely to be amended before the session ends.
