PASSAGE OF TARIFF BILL Real Revlalon Downward Currency III H.ld Up by Senate Newlanda Aal Vary Important Abolition of the Cammaraa Court Mexlean Matter. Presidential Addraaaaa ta Congree. y ARTHUR W. DUNN. w 'A81MXUT0N, Nut. 20. -A tar iff law, tlia loweat alu-a IMO and In many reapecla approaching a friHi trad ! aU, ta tlia muat luipurUnt achievement of tbe Drat avaalon or the UlityUiIrd connreaa. Cum lug Into complete leglala tire power for tlia Aral Uiua In tweuty Tears, Uia DeniocraU marked their control of tha government by fulfilling their protutaea on tha main laaua whk-b divided Uia two great political partlaa for mora tliao half a century. It will take aoma tlina for tha people to understand what baa raally boon dona wltb tha tariff and what affect tha rate will bare upon the prices thy pay. Detalla of Uia tariff are somewhat nabuloua to tha average per aon. and area tltoa wbo bar beard the subject debated day aft or day and bare atudled tba echedulee for yean are aoroewhat baiy aa to what baa really been dona, save that there baa teen Tory great reduction a real re vision downward. The moat roarteloua thing about tha new law la the eaee with which It waa paaaed. Ita author, Oarar V. Coder wood, took It Into tha Democratic cau cus, where differences were thraahed out and where temorrata were moral ly plnlged to aland by the waya and uioatia committee. Then the bill waa ' tii ken Into the bouae and paaaud wltb only eurh change aa Underwood and hla lliutinnnta thought neoeaanrjr. A almllnr method waa adopted lu the senate, althoueh Henntor Hlmmona, who wna In charge of the bill, allowed more Intlttido to hla llcutetianta on the finance committee thttn waa given memtier of the bouae. And ao waa paaaed the meaaure for which the aesalon waa called by I'real lcnt Wllaon. Ah, that name recall! something! It may be nieutloned In paaalug that bad It not been for tlia Iron hand of Wood row Wllaon the tariff would have even atoriny time There would bare been no free sugar and free wool, and the ratea generally would have been much higher. Tha prealdent aet hla atakea on free wool and free sugar, hold them In the bill In spite of the efforts of many Democrat ic Bona tore, thus aottlng the erttle upon which many other schedule wore ad Justed. Currency Which Never Came. Nntunilly when the prealdent found that It wna unt audi a dllllcult thing to paaa a tariff bill he felt aura that currency would run along Juat aa amoothly. Somehow It una been dif ferent It aooma to have atruck annua which at tluiea wore about to wreck the measure. The majority In the ooua wore duello. They only had to know that the currency bill suited the adiultiiatrntlon and then gulp It down without Baking quentloua. Oh, of -courae, there were a few Imttilitltlve puraona, follows who thought they knew BotnvthliiR about finance, and they allowed a disposition to kick, but the majority waa ao great that their outcrlca nud kicks cnuacd ouly a alight and niuuivutury disturbance. In the eennte It wna different. The llomooruUc majority la very aniall fjtnitigo to any, there wore three of tha even Democratic members of the banking and currency committee who never would uo, never, never, neve vote for tho administration bill. One of them aloud out till the luat, while the other two gradually yielded to the perHounl Influence of the prealdent and tho lure of the party call. But this did not happen In time to mako tho curreucy bill a law at the apeclnl avaalon. , All thla proved a surprise to Mr Wllaon. When he called congresa In session In April he mndo plana to spend tho auiiitiier with hla fauitly In New Hampshire and a month of the full at rnnanin. Juat the other day the prealdent told an Inquirer that ho thought ho might go to ratiamn In 1015. Ho dlrtu't algn tho tariff act un til Oct 8. He may not ilgn tho cur rency net until April 3. Woodrow Wll aon line learned the ways of congroaa during the special session, and he knowa ho must have patience. Newlanda Aot Vary Important. Although the apodal action of con gress dedicated Itaelf to the tariff and President Wllaon sentenced It to cur rency as well. It did also tnke up leg islation. A law of farrenclilng Impor tance Is the Newlanda act, which waa missed, providing fur mediation, con ciliation and arbitration between the employers and the employed, for a lonir tlmo there wna tho Krdinnn net. which was well enough In Its way, but it did not have very much strength In averting or settling strikes. The New lands net really amounts to something. Already It has averted the tleup of all the eastern rnllronds and not long since was responsible for stopping a Btrlko -on the Southern Pacific. A real board for the settlement of labor disputes has een created, and highly paid mon have boon selected as memlieri of this board. It tnkea a pretty atrong force, whether of capital or labor, to rnalit an offer of mediation from federal board and ptwlpitate a atrlke which may enuae a protruded nwantlon of t)iiliic. Inconvenience the public and mine a loaa of wage to Human lids of men. If the prvaent eoaslnti of con-grt-a. long aa It baa been, had done nothing but pnaa the Newlanda act It would have performed a great service. At ellahad tha Cammaroe Court. Three general appropriation lillla were passed during the apes-lnl eeaalon. one of which failed In the abort eon alon and another pf which waa vetoed by Prealdent TafL Tha third was ao urgent dcnviciicy bill, which caused a great deal of dlaruaaton because of two lmmrtaut provlalnna wblcb It con tained. The commerce court, created by the railroad leglalatlon of 1010, waa alHillahed by a rider on the deficiency bill. Thla court waa eatabllabed la the face of bitter opposition. One of tlia Judges waa Impeached, and on account of dlfferencea with the Intaratate com merce cotnmlaalon It became very un popular. It goes out of distance at the close of the preeent year. A bitter conleat between the two bouaea of congresa arose over the question aa to whether the Judges of the court ahould alao be abollehed. The senste finally won, and the Judges remain and will hereafter be circuit Judges. In the same deflvleucy bill waa a much discussed provision wblcb took deputy collectors of internal revenue from under the civil service.' It waa Incorporated In the law, and hereafter those deputlee can be appointed by the collectors. Charge of "spoils,' raids upon the civil service, etc., were made, bat they did not deter the ma Jorlty. The deficiency bill contained another prortalon wblrb received practically nnautmoua support It appropriated Hoo.OUO aa part of a fund of $700,000 to erect In Washington a monumental building to commemorate the service and aacrlflrea of women of the United flute, north and south, wbo cared for the alck and wounded soldiers during the war. The balance of the sum. fcliKl.OUO. bss been donated. The building will be the property of the United Htntes, but occupied and cared for by the American lied Cross. A Csneaaalon te Labor. The aumlry civil appropriation bill waa votoed by Prealdent Taft few moment before bis term expired be cause tt contained a provlalon that of the sum of .KX.000 provided for the enforcement of the anti-trust la we "no part of the money shall be spent In the proaecullon of any organisation or Individual for entering Into any com bination or agreement having In view the Increasing of wages, shortening of hours or bettering the conditions of labor or for auy act done In further ance thereof, not In Itself unlawful." This amendment was reinserted In the bill at the apeclal seaalon. but when approved by Prealdent Wllaon be Bald that the provision need not become operative aa there were other funda available for the prohibited prosecu tions If It was found necessary to be gin them. Panams-Pselfta Exposition. The a u iid ry civil bill also contained a paragraph which provided for and nationalized the Panama-Pacific expo altlon to be held at San Kranclsco In 1015. Unlike former exposition laws It fixea the number of commliwloners nt three Instead of seven or more, II m Ita their pay to $3,000 Inatend of $5,000 and alao place a limit upon the pay of cmployeee and their expenaea. Thla employment will not be simply "aoft snaps" aa In the pnat A subsequent act provided for the freo liiiortntlon of foreign exhibits for the exposition and the protection of their trademarks and designs. An other act untlouallzed a smaller expo sition which la to be held at San Dlego. Cnl.. In 1015. At the beginning of the special ses sion an emergency deficiency bill was punned providing expenses for the sea- Ion, It also made provision for the nuw department of labor, which up to that time had been without pay or quarters. Indisn Commissions. The Indian appropriation bill was talked to death ut the close of the last congress, and after considerable wrau- gllng It was passed at the special ses- J stun. Asuie iroto uie uaum iiruu lo tions, the most Important features wore provision for two commissions, both consisting of members of the sen- ato and house. One Is to Investigate the management of the bureau of In- tllnii nffnlrs In every detail. The oth- or was directed to Investigate Irriga tion conditions In Washington stnte and health conditions in New Mexico, particularly In regard to the establish ment of a sanitarium for tuberculosis mulcted Indlnns. Mexioan Mattara. The situation In Mexico called forth desultory discussion from time to time, but the Inclination was to lenve the matter with the president llowcvor, the deficiency bill contained an appro priation of $100,000 and a special act appropriated $100,000 more to bring destitute Americans out of Mexico. Congress has beeu ready nt all times to make provision for emergencies In Mexico; but. while bills for Increasing the army were Introduced, they have never been taltcn up. A new embassy wna created by an act making the minister to Spain an ambassador. Another act provided for representa tion, of the United States nt the four teenth international congress on al coholism nt Milan, Italy. An net was passed providing for the Increased number of midshipmen at the Naval ncademy until 1010, which allows two designations by each sena tor and representative, ten at large to be appointed by the prealdent Miner Aota ef Legislation. Quite a number of minor acts of leg islation were passed. Including bridge and land bills of local Interest ltecogtilllnn of the Gettysburg semi- ceiitenuiul waa liiude In providing trans portation for Union and Confederate Vetera na of the District of Columbia to that famous battlefield. Tents were loaned to the Confeder ate Vetera na for their reuulon at llrtiiiawlck. Ol. The prealdent was authorized to ap point delegates to the Internstlonal I'urlty federation at Minneapolis. Minn. Provision waa made for congression al representation at the unveiling of the Jefferaoo monument at Kt- Louie and the Congress hall celebration at Philadelphia; alao the opening of the expoaltloB at Knoxvllle, Tenn. The aecretary of agriculture waa au thorised to mske an exhibit at the corn exposition, Dallas, Tex. A number of bills relating to public building were paaaed. The Seaman' Bill. A bill of more than ordinary Impor tance because It make many change in the navigation laws waa paaaed by the ann to, but was not conaldered by the bouae. It la known aa the sea man' bill, although It make provision for greater safety of paaaengera it sea. Tb bill In some form baa been pend ing before congress for nineteen year and has been advocated by represents tlvee of tb aea men's onion. It la ex pected to paaa the bouae during the coming session. Another measure of eonalderable Im portance wblcb paaaed the senate and la atlll pending In the bouse make It unlawful for any member of congreas to aerve on committee or eolldt fund for campaign purpoae. That bill la the outcome of the Investiga tion made during the campaign of 1013, when many prominent wlLneaeee were summoned. The aenat ha agreed to take' np and consider bill providing for the conatructloo and operation of railroad In Alaaka on Monday. Dec. 8. but as no time has been fixed for a tote It Is quite likely that the bill will be dis placed by the currency bill On the senate calendar la bill "re lating to the exclusion of traffic from the streets and avenue of Washington during parades." It Is the outgrowth of Interference with the woman suf frage parade on the 3d of March. Bills Psssad by tha Heuae. Very few hills bave been taken op by the bouse save those mentioned, bnt the Hetcb-lletrby bill was passed and Is pendlngln the senate wltb an agree ment to consider and vote upon It dur ing the Brat week of the regular -alon. A bill to create an additional Judge In Pennsylvania ha been doing the shuttlecock act between the house on account of a provision to create anoth er circuit Judge In West Virginia hav ing been attached to It It now re pose on the bouae calendar. Lobby Investigation. By fnr one of the most Interesting Investigations of the many that have taken place during the past two oi three years was the senate lobby In vestigation which followed a declara tion by the president that a lobby was trying to defeat certain features of the tariff bill. About the same time the Mulhsll disclosures were publish ed, which reflected upon both senators and representatives, and the lobby In vestigation wus turned Into a Mulbnll Investigation, the house Joining wltb ao Investigation of Its own. A special committee of the senate has taken thousands of pages of testimony, and the end Is not yet In sight. No report was ever made, rne investigation was started primarily to get Informa tion Uon which to base tariff action, but the tariff bill was out of the way before the Investigators were near the . end of their Inquiry. Praaidential Addraaaaa. Tbe spevlnl session was notable for the Introduction of -an Innovation lu the matter of delivering presidential messnges. The messages were deliv ered lu person by the president who addressed congress In Joint session In the hall of tho house of representa tives on three different occasions. This revives a custom which existed In the days of Washington and Adams, but has not been the practice since the day of the Bret two presidents. The Brst address related to the tariff, the next to currency and tbe third to con ditions In Mexico. The president has announced that be will continue to communicate with congresa In Oils way. Another Innovation on the part of the president was In visiting the cnpltol building and seeing senators and representatives In his room, which heretofore has been used by a preal dent when be went to tbe capltol on special occasions. ' ' Accept Nlcknamea. Quite a number of congressmen take the names which their friends In young; er days gave them. No one believes any mother ever christened her boy Tom, Dick, Jack or Sam, yet a lot of men have adopted the shorter names Inter In their lives. One thing a mnn can do he can fashion his name to suit himself. Among the men In congress wbo have chosen the shorter names are Ben John son of Kentucky, Champ Clark of Mis souri. Tom Stout of Montana, Dan Ste phens of Nebraska, Dick Morgan of Oklahoma, Sam Sells of Tennessee, Sam rtnybtirn. Joe Eagle and Jack Benli of Texas. Then there Is Wllllnm H. Murray ot Oklahoma, who' adds after bis name Alfalfa Bill In parentheses. He Is proud of the title, which has followed him everywhere. lie attained It by talking on alfalfa as a crop.
