measures ia the isthmian canal hi '

ment together with coinage, currency

Among the other important law,en.
acted are those repealing the war reve-
nue taxes, extending and making more
effective tlie Chineao exclu.ion law,
establhhing a tariff of goods to .nd
from the Philippines; extending file
charter of national tanks for 20 year-'
establishing a permanent cenrus oflny;
restricting the sale of oleomargarine by
placing a high tax on imitation butter;
providing a consular and diplomatic
service for Cuba; establishing an ex
tensive system by which the govern
ment will aid in the irrigation of th*
arid sections of the west.
The repeal of the war revenue tuM
has reduced taxation »73,350,000, »nd
ie said to be the largest single reduc
tion of taxation ever made in thiscoun-
try. Bv this step the last of the tai«

tlie Dingley tariff rates on articles com
ing from the Philippines to the United
States, and also imposes duty on arti
cles entering the Philippines from the
United States. The oleomargarine act
results from several years’ agitation.
It places a tax of 10 cents a pound on
substances colored to imitate butter.
Tbe irrigation act is of social im
portance to tlie West. It creates an ir
rigation fund in tl.e treasury <iepart-
ment into which is to be paid tlie pro
ceeds of the sales of public lands in the
ari l states. This iund in turn is to be
used in storing water and establishing
irrigation systems, the irrigation sec

are to be charged a proportionate share
of the cost of the improvement.

“to the island territories under the jur-
¡■diction of the United States.”
The amount of the appropriations i f
the session will run unusually high,
owing in part to the amount required
to build the isthmian canal. When
Mr. Cannon submitted a general esti
mate of appropriations a few weeks .go,
he made the total up to that time
»691,445,000. Since then the canal bill
has Ixsn passed, carrying a present
appropriation of »40,000,000 for the
