Mr.. Taft became President Taft
Thursday afternoon at 1885, the
inaugural ceremony being held in the
senate chamber, instead of on the
east portico of the capitol building, on
account of a terrific snow and sleet
storm which ragged here for nearly "a
hours. And the day before the
weather man had predicted sun
shine.
Washington for nearly IL hours had
been cut of from all wire commune
cation with the rest of the world be-
cause of the sleet storm which fol-
lowed on the heels of a fall of several
inches of snow.

carried out in the crowded senate

by Mr.. Taft in the senate chamber.

THE EXTRA SESSION
UNDER THE CALL IT CAN DO ANY
BUSINESS IT DESIRES.
PROBABLY PASS CENSUS BILL
This Matter, the Statehood Bill and
Other Measures Are Likely to
Be Considered.

Washington, ID. C.-When congress
meets on the 18th inst, upon the cal
of the president to consider a revi
sion of the tariff, there will be nc
constitutional restrictions upon the
nature of the business that may be
transacted. 1t is generally conceded
that at least two months will be re-
Quired for the representatives to
conclude consideration of all the
schedules involved in this legislation
The house itself will not receive. the
bill for some weeks, as the commit
tee on way and means will require
considerable time to report the meas.
ure. During this long period the
senate will have nothing to do in
respect to the tariff, and even after
the bill leaves the house it will be
in the hands of the committee on
finance for some time before the
senate actually gets possession of 1t,
and the debate begins. Then will be-
gin long wait by the house of rep
resentatives until the state amend
ments can be known and conferees
appointed to bring about an agree
ment upon them.
This procedure will result in each
house having to remain in session
with nothing to do in relation to the
tariff covering period of a couple
Of months. Three days is the extent
of recess that may be taken by
either body.
In view of the extended period of
inactivity that would face each house
should nothing be considered except
the tariff, many senators are consid-
ering the advisability of entering up
on other legislation which they be-
lieve ought to he passed in time to
send it over to the house when that
body has disposed of its bill and will
only have to wait for senate action on
the tariff. The advocates of postal
savings banks have talked of the pos
sibility of such policy being adopted
ever since they became aware of
their inability to secure legislation in
the last session of congress.
There are many earnest advocates
of a change Of date in the Inaugural
ton from March 4 until later day,
when favorable weather is likely to
prevail. Senator Depew took the
first legislative step in favor of such
a change when he introduced a resO-
luton proposing an amendment to
the constitution to change the date
of the Inauguration from March 4 to
the last Wednesday in April.
Advocates of Statehood for New
Mexico and Arizona were greatly dis
appointed that no progress could be
made toward the enactment of an
enabling act during the last session
and they are restless over any propo
sition to delay action until the regu-
lar session Of congress because they
fear that the mass of legislation that
will tnen come up will crowd their
claims to the background.
The presidents veto OF the census
bill make mandatory some action to
provide for the enumeration Of the
thirteenth census, and while legisla-
ton might be delayed until early
next winter, some of those who are
interested in the passage believe that
the extra session would give an adj
mirable opportunity to dispose Of it.
