IOWA, MONDAY. FEBRUARY

occupy the entire week. He may not
have been figuring on early morning or
night sessions when he said this but
there 10 no doubt that senator's are TO go
on with the.Aatoricad extravaganza un-
til patient republicans will throw up
their hands in despair and give up their
struggle for the shipping measure.
The Nicaraguan canal bill has the
right of way when the shipping bill is
disposed of, and Senator Morgan is not
losing sight of this fact. He said yes
terlay that appropriation bills viii rot
be pressed against his pet measure if
conditions should suddenly favor its
passage. But Senator Allison is known
TO be impatient because Of the delay his
appropriation bills are encountering.
The senate yet has to pass upon dozen
or more Of those billa. and If this week
is entirely devoted to talking on the
shipping bill, but eighteen Legislative
days of the present session will remain
in which appropriation bills can be ta-
ken care OF.
But besides the appropriation bills
there are other measures of such inn
portarce that senators will insist upon
"a hearing. Senator Spooner, whose i'm
fiuence in the senate is very great, has
given notice that he will insist upon
the Grout oleomargarine bill being ta-
ken up in the senate
The war tax reduction bill appears to
have dropped to the rear. Senator Md
|rich, chairman of the senate finance
committee is much Interested in the
fate Of the shipping bill and will not
press the other measure until the decks
are cleared for it. He DOES not want 10
cause the friends of the shipping bill
any concern or embatra ssment. and is
lconsaslnently holding the war tax bill
back.
The senate is to meet at O'Clock
every morning this week and will have
lnight ssass,ions.a as well.
