Senator W. B. Allison of Iowa, chairman of the senate finance committee, in an interview here discussed the pressing business to come bo fore the forthcoming session of con gress. ' , ' One object of the session, he said; must be to ft void an extra session, and therefore he thought the first businesi of the short session should be to take up and pass the regular appropriation bills, including the river and ; harbor bill, which did not pass the last session. Then," he said, "an army bill must be passed. Exactly what Ido not know, but the condition confronts us of the army reduced by law to an extent not equal to the national necessities. The first of July, 1W)1, by a stroke reduces the army to 37,500 men. Prudence, at least, suggests that under existing con ditions some measures be taken against that date. "In my opinion the stamp taxes gen erally should be removed. To repeal the tax on beer alone would mean a re duction of from $25,000,000 to $30,000, 000. Such a reduction is obviously too large and a bit of legislation will be necessary at the short session.
