Four Great Measurcs Passed During

Washington. June I'm estimating
the value of the work of the hrst ses-
sion of the F'ifty-sixth congress 1t will
be found that out of about 200 public
laws. more or less. those which leave d
decided Impress on the fortunes of the
United States are only four in number
An immense amount of important
legislation is carried. as usual, in the
great appropriation bills. but an exami-
nation OF the acts signed by the prest-
dent show that the work of congress
which will be most discussed during
the campaign. and which may be con-
sidered really as creative legislation,
embraces:
First--The5 new financial bill, witnits
provisions for refunding the public
debt.
Second The formation Of a complete
territorial government. in many re-
spects unique in its design. for the
Hawaiian islands
Third-'The enactment Of complete
code Of Laws for Alaska. with the cre-
alton of stable government there
Fourth-and perhaps most important
The law creating temporary gov
4 ernment for Porto Rico.
Congress has been in session for over
six months. but the amount OF time
actually given to these four great
measures. which in reality fixes the
]status of the session from a legislative

1t is quite evident that congress has
met and solved more problems in the
i nations mechanism at this session
than has been done. in all probability,

publican leaders 10 break new: ground.
