Firot Time In Many Year* Democrat! Control. Elements In the extra session of con gress are unusual. President Wilson has called the great body together at a time when his party tins absolute con trol of every branch of the govern ment relating to legislation. This has not been the ease la-fore In twenty years. During that period of long ago when the Democrats were In power President Cleveland called an extra session, but the conditions were vastly different from now. The extra session under President Wilson Is remarkable Itecuuae the law makers to a large extent are men of comparatively recent vise */> promi nence. Because of the fact that the Democratic party Is providing a change from Republican rule for the first time In sixteen years great Interest Is cen terod upon the- doings of congress. Virtually anew generation of legis lators has sprung up With hut a very few exceptions there are no men who figured In congressional doings of twenty years ago who are sharing the responsibilities of the body now. Of only line tiling has the public been absolutely certain, and that is that rhe tariff would be first and foremost among the subjects for work by the legislators, and that revision downward would be the purpose. The legislators themselves have not known Just how the revision Is to be managed, and It lias been well understood that they would not all be pleased over ail the details of the ultimate changes. The subject haa been thrashed over so often and earnestly that Its intricacies have become feared The ways and means committee, which bag had the task of drafting the tentative form of the new tariff mean ore, has been unable to announce com pletion of Its work in advance of the extra session, but the probability Is that the measure will be taken up schedule by schedule. The public has been led to expect that after the tariff is disposed of con gress will consider currency, the In come tax. Philippine Independence and the Panama tolls questions. Much publicity has been given to the proposed national Income tax. The tax will probably apply only to Incomes of i over $5,000 annually. Certain members of congress hold that this sort of levy would confined to but a compara tively small proportion of the public and that the revenue would not be suf ficient. They argue that an Inheritance tax should be added to Insure the need ed revenue. Jiiqe.
