Show COKHLL ACT WILL NOT WAIT UNTIL AFTER ' THE HOLIDAY8 TO BEGIN 1 REGULAR WORK. 1 An Effort Will Be Made to Carry Into 1 Effect Recommendations of the President In His Annual S and Special Messages. li Washington. Appropriation legisla . Jjfli tlon will bo undertaken by congress y'j bofore tho adjournment for tho boll- V--' (w days. There has been a general Bup- m position that all measures of any 'If character would be postponed until n after the first of January. m There aro two elements In congress. 1 Ono favors extensive general legisla- a tion. The other takes tho position 1 that, as a general tariff bill was 1 passed in the extra session, congress j should be content to do little moro this session than pass tho appropri- I ation bills. All recognize, howovor, that some effort will bo made prob- 1 ably to carry Into effect recommenda- 1 tions of the presldont whether con- f tained In his annual message or in ' special messages. He Is laying out an extensive program, and nobody believes that It will be possible to. do i all that ho will ask. His recommenda- I. tions with reference to railroad leg- II illation are apt to glvo moro trouble "i than anything else, because it Is ox- f pected that there will bo a public demand de-mand for much thnt he will recommend, recom-mend, and because congress is al- ; ways divided on the policy to bo pur- " shed with reference to the railroads. 1 The conservation policy, postal sav- ings, merchant marines and other ; questions will not attract s6 much attention, at-tention, and may bo more easily put ' aside than the railroftd question. Thero is a general antlpnthy to bond ssucs, and any measure involving such a feature will bo carefully con- I sldercd before It Is adopted. r No one expects any anti-trust legls- J lation until tho supremo court passes on Important cases Involving tho S Sherman law now before the tribunal. f |
