WASHINGTON LETTER.

THE past week in Congress might be
: described as preliminary week" as
it was devoted to preparation for the i'm
portant bills which are, according to the
program, to be voted upon this week
Monday the House of Representatives
teok up the bill reported by the Ways
and Means Committee abolishing the
war revenue taxes. If the present pr:,-
gram is successful rule will first be
adopted prohibiting the offering of mo-
tions during the discussion OF the meas-
ure and limiting the debate to two days
This is regarded as necessary by the
leaders to prevent Democratic filibuster-
ing and an effort to precipitate the ques-
tion of tariff reform, policy which the
President opposes as strongly as the lead
ers in Congress.

necessary shipping facilities, and
that when cars are secured and
loaded, they are not taken out
and delivered as promptly as
they should be. Speaking of
this subject to the Piayune re-
D rter, Mr.. A. M. Arthur, buyer
Tor the National Rice Milling Co.,
said: s'The rice shippers from
Jennings certainly have a right
to make complaint of the service
given them by the Southern Pa
cific railroad. Some time ago
the commercial league of Jen-
nings took up the matter OF
svi ching facilities with the off
cials of the road, who promised
them at that time speedy relief
and, all the facilities for the move
ment of both rough and clean
rice and Oil. The company did
make some efforts towards
furnishing facilitiesifor the hand
ling of oil shipments, but has
done nothing whatever towards
helping out the rice men. Last
week there were cars Of rice
loaded and paid for standing on
the track for two and three days
without being moved. The SAME
complaint is applicable to cars
loaded Yesterday. 1t seems thai
the Southern Pacific Company,
knowing the growing needs OF
shipping facilities here, would
make provisi IN for the handling
