Possible LEGISLATION

Washington, Dec Lit is not prob
able that the house at the coming SEES
sion of congress, which begins next
Monday, can dispose of much of the
proposed legislation which cucumber
its calendars. Little is usually accom-
plished at the short session beyond
the passage of the regular supply bills.
Still the house, with its instrumentali-
ties for the expedition Of business, can
accomplish great deal in a brief time.
The question of legislation for addi-
tional revenues for the government
will depend on the senate, to which
body the house sent the Dingley bill
almost a year ago. Should it be i'm
possible or be deemed inexpedient to
press that measure through the senate.
there is, of course, a possibility that
the proposal to increase the revenues
by an additional tax on beer or the
imposition of duty on tea. coffee. etc.
may take tangible form.
