The most interesting and signiBcant thing in legislative sessions was the initia! joint conference of the Senate and House Committees on Finance with Chairman Doughton of thd house, presiding. The net outcome is (hat there is unanimous opinion expressed to "sit steady in the boat" or "stand pat" in matters of taxation and ap propriations. AH seemed to agree that in the light of the recent vote on the constitutional amendment, the plan for the revision of the assessment and taxing system of- the state as recom mended by Chairman Travis of the State Tax Commission is a good thing but that in view of the existing con ditions it is not advisable to make these revisions at this time. Indeed, members of the joint com mittee seemed of one opinion that there will be no increase in appro priations at this session and further more, appropriations for permanent improvements at state institutions will have a very great falling off com pared with appropriations two years ago when there was a {500.000 bond issue for permanent improvements. This time it is the declared purpose of the committee to have no bond is sues provided at this session and maintenance provision for state in stitutions that may not stint them in this respect is hinted at as about the best that can be expected. Senate. The Senate voted by a big majority against the joint resoiution to limit the present session of the Legislature to 40 days. This was after two-hours' discussion in which Gardner, Giiiiam and others urged the adoption and Senators Miii, Hobgood and others op posed it as a vain and impossible thing to accomplish. The action of the Senate will probably cause the House to not caii up the resoiution at that end of the Gapitoi at ail. Representative Seaweil in the House introduced the biii recommended by the special commission to investigate Bre insurance companies in this state, giving to the State Department of In surance supervision of the rate-mak ing for the fire insurance and other wise amend the insurance laws, Under special suspension of the rules the Senate passed the resoiu tion from the House felicitating Mrs. Stonewall Jackson and wishing for her speedy recovery from serious ill ness.

The vote was preceded by an stirring debate, a feature of which was a declaration by Representative R. A. Doughton, in ad vocating the bili, that he stands at all times for women being on a thorough ly equal footing with men as their peers in property rights and every other respect "except" he declared, "I want you to understand that I am un alterably opposed to the so-cailed woman's suffrage and other such isms and cisms that are abroad in the iand." me report ana recommenaanons of Commissioner of Insurance James R.

AV)AI!0N WAS DEFEATED ArtOtery Approprtatton )s Greatty )n creased—8ome Funds For At) Branches. Washington.—After two days of de oate on the genera! staff of the nation ei defense the house passed without a roil caii the army appropriation bill, carrying $101,000,000. Advocates of immediate strengthen ing of the military establishment fought to the last for additional ap propriations, but their efforts met with no encouragement from either Demo cratic or Republican leaders. The last roll call on a motion by Repre senative Gardner of Massachusetts to recommit the bill with instructions to report back an amendment carrying $1,000,000 for aviation was defeated 253 to 34. An amendment offered by Represen tative Deitr*ck of Massachusetts and adopted practically without opposition would -prohibit use of stop watches and other "speeding up" devices in connection with so-called scientific management systems in arsenals and ships. Representaties of union labor have been fighting for this prohibi tion for several years. The house also adopted an amend ment by Representative Tavenner of Illionis to require that all munitions of war provided for in the bill shall be manufactured in government piants. The bill which caries funds for all branches of the army during the coming fiscal year, includes $300,000 for purchase of 25 aeroplanes, and $50, 000 for an armored motor-car. These items and efforts to add to them, furnished texts for long discussions on use of the aeroplanes and armored motorcars in the European war. The appropriation for 8eld artillery mate rial was increased from $25,000 to $170,000. Representative Guernsey of Maine urged a stronger coast defense declar ing that if Great Britain should go to war with the United States over ques tions arising from the European war "her plan would be to seize the city of Portland, set Maine off into Can ada overnight and make property and life there worth no more than in Bel gium today." FOREIGN TRADE IMPROVEMENT. Sates of Foodstuffs, Ciothing, etc., Have Been Unusuatty Large. Washington.—Market? improvement in the foreign trade of the United States is reflected in latest reports to the department of commerce, and officMl summary of which, says in part: "Sales of foodstuffs and certain lines of manufactures have been un usually larger in November, the latest period for which detailed information is at hand. In that month exports aggregated $206,000,000, or double the total for August last, when, by reason of the outbreak of war; our foreign trade fell to the lowest level reached in many years. In December there was further improvement, the month's exports being valued at $246,000,000, compared with $233,000,000 in Decem ber 1913 and within four million of the high record established in Decem ber 1912. "An analysis of the trade figures published in the summary of foreign commerce shows that while American cotton, mineral oils, naval stores, lum ber and agricultural implements are in less demand abroad than in former yea s there Is a greater demand in foreign countries for our foodstuffs, meats, sugar, clothing and other man ufactures especially in Europe.
