with Canada and without providing
for a tariff board, President Taft's
two pet measures, the 61st congress
ended tills afternoon.
The tariff board measure passed
both houses but the Democrats in the
house finally killed it by a filibuster
against the senate amendments.
Reciprocity was ignored in the senate,
the finance committee having report
ed It without recommendation and
then allowed It to die at the foot of
the calendar.
President Taft struck back by Is
suing a call for an extra session of
congress to convene April 4. He was
willing to abandon the tariff board
bill but stood firm for reciprocity. He
now believes that the measure will
be passed at the extra session.
The closing of the' senate was
marked by filibusters which kept that
body In session almost continuously
for the last six days of the session.

the Democrats were for "popular gov

been deserted by his proper follow

In the house the scenes were the
most disorderly in years. Speaker
Cannon pounded his desk violently in
trying to keep order and during the
Fitzgerald filibuster the demoraliza
tion was complete. The minority
jeered wildly when Payne asked
unanimous consent to dispense with
consideration of the tariff board hill.
Then the clock was pushed back an
hour and with Cannon pounding al
most continuously on his desk, the
excitement was finally subdued and
the final hills were pushed through at
the rate of one a minute.
The only, other Democrats who vot
ed with Bailey on the Owen resolution
were Taliaferro and Overman.
