62ND SESSION OF
CONGRESSCONYENES
Regular Session Opened Mon
day With Prospects of Pro
tracted Meeting.
Washington Tl llmt rrRtilur ses
Ion n (lis Sixty second Congress
opened Monday. IIuvIiik perfected III
orKmiUntlun when It met In extraor
dinary bibhIiiii hint Rprliiit. Congress
was ready to begin work.
iJciiiocriiiB, Republican Insurgents
and Heptibllcan 8tundpntters all ad
mit that the session, on the evs of
the presidential campaign, will be bit
ter and irotrurted.
Thoro aro Tew who think that the
esxlon will end before next June. A
greiit game of politics, with each sldo
sparring for advantage., is to be
played, and nothing except the near
approach of the national convention
nd the necessity for "fence building
will cause the legislators to ceaie
tbelr labors at the national capltol.
President Uphold! Sherman Law.
' President Taft In his message slat
ed that, owing to the number of Im
portant subjects calling for comment,
it was Impossible to Include a discus
sion of them In one message of rea
sonable length and, therefore, he
would transmit a series of messages
between the opening of Congress and
the adjournment for the ChrUtmas
holidays.
His first message dealt with anti
trust legislation. The President stated
that he was strongly opposed to the
repeal or amendment of the Sherman
law, and suggested that the law
should be strengthened by supplemen
tal legislation. He urged the enact
ment of some sort of federal Incorpor
ation act and the creation of a federal
corporation commission.
Must Da Over Extra Session Work.
Much of the work ot the extra ses
sion which President Taft called in
order to pass the Canadian reciprocity
agreement, must be done over again.
The President vetoed the tariff revi
sion bills passed by the Democrats
nnd the Republican Insurgents, and
both factions are armed for the fray
once more.
The Domocrats have a good work
ing majority In tho House, and the
important bllln on tholr program will
be passed nuioKiy .
Tariff and constructive corporation
legislation are the two Items ot gen
eral Interest standing out from the
rest In the Hno of serious business.
As soon as President Taft sends In his
tariff message, following the repo-t
made (o him by the tariff board, the
Democrats of the ways and means
committee will shape their program.
It la practically assured that whatever
the ways and means committee puts
forward, whether wholly en rapport
with the tariff board findings or not,
will pass the House.
Many Tariff Bills Coming.
Tho probability Is that there wilt
be a series of measures revising vari
ous schedules In conformity with the
plan followed last summer. The real
tariff fight will follow In the Senate
with the result uncertain now and
with the Impending complications
wenrylng to contemplate In view of
the balance of power held by the In
surgents and the lack of harmony In
the ranks of the Senate Democrats.
The corporation legislative - prob
lem Is even more vexing than that
pertaining to the tariff. The Presi
dent and his friends are hopeful that
nonpartisan 'public sentiment will
force the parties to co-operate and
place a federal corporation law on
tho statute books.
Panama Canal Legislation.
The coming session Is expected to
develop the first legislation for the
operation, maintenance and govern
ment ot the Panama canal and the
canal sone. Everything that Congress
baa done In the past regarding the
great artificial waterway has been di
rected toward construction. The
question ot tolls for use of the canal
nnd its permanent fortification are
two of the big subjects that It is ex
pected will be embodied In legislation
Introduced during the session. It Is
not believed, however, that much leg
islation will be passed on the future
ot the canal, it being attempted large
ly as a formative precaution to test
tho sentiment toward the different
flans suggested.
Will Do Little Before Holidays.
Hut little constructive legislation Is
expected before the Christmas boll
days. After the reading of the Presi
dent's annual message both houses
settled down to the introduction ot
bills and preliminary skirmishing lo
advance of the real battle that will
begin after the Christmas recess.
The House Democrats will then
plunge at once Into the consideration
of the tariff revision bills and the an
nual appropriation measures. The re
port of the tariff board on the whole
schedule will be submitted shortly
after Congress convenes.
