Show lAKE fAKE THEM SINGLY I THAT IS DEMOCRATIC PLAN FOR HANDLING ALL MATTERS OF f NATIONAL MOMENT THE WATCH ON THE TI-fE SENATE Or ay T TiPi Method Attention Will Be Se Centered on the Upper House While It Considers Such Things as the Tariff l By GEORGE CLINTON Washington Sharp Sharp intimation has been given to the Democratic Uc leaders by the administration that it seems desirable from a party efficiency I standpoint to undertake no legislation at the extra session except that relating relating ing lug to the tariff If It present plans of ot th the national Democracy are carried to their logical end It seems that all legislative legislative leg leg- matters of t gre great t national moment mo me moment mo- mo ment will be considered by congress singly There are reasons for the present planning of at the Democrats concer concerning ing the manner of ot handling the larger legIslative legislative legislative leg leg- problems It is apparent that the president and the leaders with him him do not wish to have the country's attention divided between the two houses of ot congress when vitally tant matters are up for tor consideration Som one has called this plan the watch on the senate In order to explain clearly just what the plan involves let the subject of ot the tariff be taken The house will consider consider con con- sider skIer tariff legislation will pass the bills and then will send them over to the senate Now if the tho house after it gets through with the tariff should take up some other ther piece of at national legislation the country's country s attention would be divided between the subject under discussion in the house and the tariff discussion in the senate This Is exactly what Mr V Wilson son and those De Democratic leaders leader who are staunchly supporting him wish to avoid To Focus Eyes on on Senate As soon as the house gets through with the tariff bills it if the present plan is carried out it will do nothing except except ex ex- meet often enough to k keep ep within the laws law's requirements and so the country can vatch watch the senate and thereby remind it that I its s tariff tinkering tinker er ing lag I Is under the public eye and that nothing which should not be would be allowed to to go unchallenged If Ie the present plan of the Democratic Democrat Democrat- ic leaders shall be made to apply to the future it will not mean necessarily that the house after completing a big piece of legislation and sending it over overto overto overto to the senate would simply mark time while tl the upper ho house se was giving g th the legislation consideration There are appropriation bills and minor bills of various kinds which the house can de debate debate debate bate and pass while the senate is doing doing doing do do- ing duty on n some matter generally accounted accounted accounted ac ac- ac- ac counted of ot greater Importance The point is that the Democrats want to succeed in their administration tion and if it the truth must be told some of ot them are afraid of at the senate They want the senate to do as well as the house does and to put through the Democratic legislation proposed by Mr Wilson without any amendments of f Importance The They think that this thi can be accomplished if public attention attention attention atten atten- tion is focused on the senate and nd I if the Democratic senators generally are made macic to know that they are exp expected to live ive UI up to the spirit and to the letter letter letter let let- ter o of ot the platform of their p party Now ow
