The first regular session of the
sixty-second congress will begin Dec

the most momentous in recent years.

of what party exigencies may seem to
demand. .
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.
The national monetary commission
will report a recommendation for a
reformation of the banking and cur
rency system which la far-reaching
In Its possibilities. Some of the ablest
men In the nation have spent years
In preparing the report.
