TAFT HAS TOUGH JOB
ALREADY sTAKED OUT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Tne next
president Of the United States is going
to have "congrcss on his hands" with
vengeance. Both parties are pledged
to immediate revision of the tariff and
Judge Taft is specifically pledged, in
the event OF his election, Immediately
upon his Inauguration TO caii an extra
ordinary session Of congress 10 begin
work on constructing n new tariff law.
The extra session PROBABLY would be-
gin not later than the 10th Of next
March. Even with the preliminary
work now under way, IL would be well
along in the summer and probably fall
before the measure was ready for the
presidents signature. Even IL re-
publican president and republican
house are elected, there Is such differ
ence Of opinion among republicans as
to how far tariff revision should ex-
tend that the job is going to be a diff
cult one. The election Of democratic
house or a democratic president or
both, with the senate remaining repob
lican, would make il all the harder.
The session to begin the first Mon
day in December Of next year will be
the regular "long session" and an ac-
emulation of matters that were passed
over last winter will make IL unusually
long. As IN always the ease, as little
business as possible was done on the
eve of the presidential election; and
ms there were more of them last winter
than ordinarily there will be unusual
work for the next long session. In ad-
dition to this accumulation, the matter
of currency reform will likely be taken
up Mt the second session Of the 6ist
congress. The commission provided
for in the Aldrich bill IL now in Eu-
rope and has interviewed the Roths-
childs, the Bank of England governors,
and other old world fnanciers. IL pro-
baby win be ready to report by De
cember or next year, ana the legisla
ton expected to follow will be even
more difficult than revision Of the tar
In. The country still has fresh re-
collection Of how hard II was TO pass
the Aldricn bill, which provided only
temporary arrangement for giving
elasticity TO the currency. When II
comes to a complete change in the
financial system, there will be as many
minds as there are men in congress.

Aqua Fria river at that place. Grant
VIII have charge of the work, with viii,
liam stowell, pile driving foreman. II
Is the intention to rush the driving OF
the piles and building Of the bridge
as rapidly as possible. The greater
portion Of the material for the stuc.
ture is now on the ground. Work was
delayed until the close of the rainy
season as il was deemed advisable 10
wait until all danger from foods was
passed.
The main span over the river will be
eighty feet in length. II will be
twenty.four feet above the bed of the
river and will be anchored TO both
banks by two cables. The bridge will
be several feet higher than the old
structure destroyed by last years
floods.
Residents Of Dewey have volunteer.
ed to deliver the material at the site
Of the bridge from the railroad station,
free Of charge. The railroad manage.
ment has furnished the material at
cost, thus reducing the expense Of con.
strnction several hundred dollars. The
rebuilding Of the bridge will mean
much to the farmers and fruit raisers
OF tho Verde valley az well as TO the
miners and mining companies operat.
