probably buve the Job of appointing
other committee during the extra ses
sion. It has been made known that
the powers In this appointing body do
nut want to make the appointments at
the coming session. They realize, rea
Honably enough, that when they name
the committees they will only be stor
ing up a ijrist of new work In the
form of Immediate bills to be prepsred
by their appointees The Democrats
probably will demand the appoint
ments. With reference to the Income tax,
which Is one measure tbat s assured,
much has been wild about the proba
bility of an Inheritance tax also. There
is a strong sentiment In "favor of the
passage of a levy on Inheritances, due
to the fact that the Income tax Is not
adequate to produce sufficient revenue.
About twenty years ago the Demo
crats passed an income tax law. but it
was declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court. The constitution baa
been amended, and now the tax Is con
stitutional. XI plan Is to have all In
comes of over Wi.UlH) levied upon. In
the minds of those who. on behalf of
the government, are turning covetous
eyes toward Inheritances the tax upon
wnly $.1,000 incomes and over will strike
only a comparatively small proportion
of the public. The revenue will not be
nearly enough, they argue.
The Inheritance Tax.
It Is assorted that to take a tltbe
from Inheritance would work no one
uuy lujary and would bring the reve
nue up to the desired volume. Tbls Is
the way these theorists argue: The In
heritance really belongs to no one. since
the person who left It Is dead and the
person to whom It Is left bas not yet
received It nor ever previously pos
sessed It Thus to take a portion of It
sway for Uncle Sam's, use would be
robbing no one. say the inheritance tax
era. There bus been s report from a pret
ty substantial source that powerful In
terests are preps ring tu fight the In
come tax. According to this report, a
number of men who possess wealth
well bp Into the millions and who
would be separated from big sums of
money by the prnpiwed law have com
bined to launc h a lobby ngnlnst the
measure. If such opposition does arise
the country will Is- treated to an Inter
esting controversy
If a few such obstacles to piir;isol
legislation arise the extra session In
all probability will Inst untjl fall.
New Men Control House.
With tKe exception of Champ Clark
there are nw men In charge of things

Virginia and Tallsitt of Maryland are
the only ineinliers who were In con

Sharing swer with Speaker Clark Is
Oscar W. Underwood, who once was a
formidable jssllilllry for nomination
as presidential candidate and who Is
now Hie leader of the Democracy In
the house. Mr Underwood heads the

naturally occurred with the establish
nient of new members In the senate
much bus tieeii said recently about the
old seniority rule. Those compara
tively young, untried, but presumptuous
new senators have absolutely disre
garded tbe old conventionality by
pushing new men Into tbe Important
positions and sidetracking .certain old
warborses who In former times wo? 14
have been utreu uveveoence.
This overturning of convention as
particularly well Illustrated la tbe
case of Jobs W. Kern of ludiana.
Senator Kern, whose name was vir
tually unknown twenty years ago,
when Democrats bad their say. Is now
leader of the senate and chairman of
the caucus. Others wbo are ripping
up old senate Institutions by holding
leadership are O'Gorman of New York,

Missouri. Smith of Georgia. Lea of
Tennessee. Suiitb of South Carolina.
Chamberlain of Oregon. Shlvely of In
diana and I'omerene of Ohio.
.Much speculation has been Indulged
In as to whether President Wilson will
visit tbe capltol and give personal ad
vice on legislative mutters. President
Wilson some time ago expressed bis
disposition toward adopting tbat prac
tice, but since then he has got Into
cloe touch ttlui uiuuitiers of congress
and has learned be can bare access to
tbe members before the sessions eacb
day without going to the capltol.
Wilion Favors Currency Laws.
One measure that President Wilson
Is known to favor particularly tor
early passage Is a new law, or possibly
several laws, on the currency. I-eaders
of congress, bowewer. have expressed
the belief that there will be no time
to take up the money laws question on
account of tbe tariff. It Is feared tbat
If tbe currency question comes up all
the different theorists on tbe remodel
Kig of money affairs will cut loose and
exploit tbelr various beliefs to tbe dis
advantage of tbe tariff law.
The questlou of granting or not
granting lndeendence to the Philip
pine Islands Is looked upon as a per
emptory subject. The last four Demo
cratic platforms have contained planks
j favor I ui; the liberation of the Islam;
On the other hand. President Wilson
has signified his Intention of sending
several representatives to the Philip
pines to iersonally Investigate tbe con
ditlons there and re.oit to hi in.

OVERWHELMING CAMPAGIX OX
Over Fire Hundred March to White
House This Morning.
Washington, April 7. Concurrently
with the opening of congress a great
war began here today. It was the
war of womanhood for the right to
vote, and suffragists by the hundred
were on hand to launch the cam
paign. The first guns fired were at
the mail of President Wilson, which
was so heavy that the letter carriers
complained of overwork, and tele
grams fairly flooded the executive
offices. Each of these communica
tions asked, demanded suggested or
pleaded that the question of suffrage
be taken up by congress.
Before noon, nearly 1000 women
were assembled In a down town
theatre where a "rally" preceded the
first personal work. After this an
informal parade to the Capitol was
planned, with Boy Scouts in line to
help keep order. Then the real cam
paign began. Senators and congress
men found themselves buttonholed at
I every turn, and no member escaped.
Each was besought to advocate suff
rage by voice and vote. This plan,
the leaders declared would be kept
up regardless of rebuffs. Miss Alice
Paul is in charge of the campaign,
but national leaders such as Dr. Anna
Shaw, Charlotte Perkins Gtlman and
others will be here at Intervals to as
sist her.
The parade of 531 suffragettes who
I were accompanied by two bands
' marched to the capltol from the
downtown headquarters and had
plenty of police protection Each
wore a sash and carried a flag show-
tng the congressional district she
represented. On arriving at the capl
tol the women were greeted by a com
mittee of congressmen and were af
terward escorted to a special senate
gallerv.
