Washington Letter.
Washington, D. C. March 2.?The
present week brings an adjournment
Gt the 63rd Congress. CP10 closing
days df the session find the legislators !
sitting long and disposing of a pro- j
dlglonB amount of work. It Is1
practically assured that there will ho |
no extra session nB the country seems (
to be tired of the almost continuous '
Congresses of late years. Even though
much of the legislation insisted upon/
by the President has failed of passapc
It is likely the wishes of the pepple
will be beeded and Congress y^etit
home. . One plan recently und<(r con
sideration was to call a special session
of the Senate on March 5tn, for the
consideration of treaties, as at least
. one country, Columbia, is becoming
j somewhat impatient^ the long de
layed ratification of a pending treaty,
! involving the pavrftent of $25,000,000
| by this Government," but owing to a~
i very decided/opposition this plan has
practically/been dropped. In order to
j clear the/legislative boards for the
: next session it is now thought possi
ble that an extra session will bewailed
[about October first. This would allow
a/vast amount of work to be complet
ed before the usual time for convening
I and allow ample time for action on the
I Philippine bill, the conservation bills,
the regulation of railroad securities
and other measures on the administra
tion program, and permit an adjourn
ment early in 1916 before the political
conventions and the presidential cam
paign.
While the naval bill was before the
Senate, Reed Root, senior Senator
from Utah, offered an amendment pro
viding for tfie building of fifty submar
ines in addition to the building pro
gram as outlined in the bill. This
amendment received a surprisingly
large support from both Democratic
and Republicans and the growing
sentiment that this country should be
better prepared for war was freely ex
pressed. It was impossible, however,
to bring this item to a vote as a point
of order was made against it by Sena
tor Swanson, who was in charge of
i the bill. One feature of the Senate
action was the abolishment of the
Naval plucking board. The actions
of this Board, which was required to
retire many efficient officers of tbe I
navy to relieve stagnation in promo
tions, has been much criticised in re-1
cent years. A bill for which seamen !
i end organized labor generally have I
i been fighting for nirny years? lias fln
( ally passed both branches and sent to
j the President for his signature. The
j object of this bill is to better condi- j
; tions of seamen in the American mer
i chant marine and to abolish arrest and
imprisonment for desertion. It pro
! vides several very stric regulations
i which must be complied with by all
foreign ships entering our harbors,
such as having a full complement of
crews in proportion to the passengers
carried and it abrogates all treaties
conflicting with any of its provisions,
1 but allows from a year to 15 months
to negotiate new treaties. This bill
I has been fathered by Senator La Fol
| lette, and bitterly opposed by shippers
j and ship owners. If it Is vetoed it
will probably be on the ground that it
conflicts with several of our treaties
with foreign nations.
The agricultural appropriation bill
has a rural credits rider tacked on to
it that is causing administration lea
ders a bit of worry. This amendment
offered by Senator McCumber, pro
vides for government aid of a far
reaching character and an initial ap
propriation of about $10,000,000. If
this rider is not defeated it will place
the President In the rather embarras
sing position of having to veto the
whole agricultural bill or of signing a
plan for rural credits of which he does
not approve, as can be shown by re
ference to his message to Congress.
Whatever happens . the Republicans
are gleeful for it gives them some
good campaign material.
The Post Office Department has
taken issue with some of the Republi
can Representatives who charge that
the threatening deficit in the Depart
ment is due to Democratic policies.
Third Asistant Postmaster General
Dockery who was at one time a mem
ber of the House and a Treasury
"watch dog" has written a letter de
claring of the reports," says Mr.
Dockery, "shows that during the first
15 months of this administration, from
April 1913 to June 1914. the postal
revenues increased at the rate of 8.25
per cent over the same period a year
previous. The averafc^ yearly in
crease for the-pwt teh yefcrs has been
7.1?? per cent. Postal receipts have
not decreased, therefore, as a result
of the application of the principles of
so-called 'free trade as embodied in 1
the tariff Jr-w under which this govern- ?
ment is now ooerating."
The nominees for the new Federal'
Trade Commission have all passed the
inspection of the Senate Committee on
Interstate Commerce with the except
ion of George Rublee of NejaL.Hamp
shire. A favorable report %as been
made on Joseph 15. Davies. Edward!
N. Hurley, W. J. Harris and W. H. j
Parry. This action was not actively ;
opposed in committee, but it is well
known that Republicans are none too
well pleased with the personnel of the
Board and Intend to express their
views in the Senate when the names
are brought up for confirmation. As the
President has assumed the responsi
bility for their appointment it Is pro
bably that no determined stand will
be taken against the appointees, but
should they fall It is likely the Presi
puv eAnttSojdjd ?m espjaxa in* 1n?P
Aake recess appointments.
