session which has been expected.
The subject Will not be brought up
until late in the session, If at all,
and then the way viii be left open

and corporation legislation in which
President Taft and the country are in
terested, and in which a large number
Of the members of Congress at both
ends Of the Capitol are concerned.
It viii not be possible for the
monetary commission TO make its re-
port 70 Congress in time for the open
ing of the regular session in Decem-
Der. Senator Aldrich does not expect
it to be made then. He does hope to
have the report ready in its entirely late
i'm the regular session. But in all prob
ability it Will come too late for Con-
gress TO give it any consideration.
1t is a possibility that the President
will call a special session OF Congress
a year from this fall, for the purpose of
considering monetary legislation. Such
a special session almost inevitably
would come Immediately after the No
vember Congressional elections. If call
ed. it viii De for the purpose of making
it possible to get the proposed monetary
legislation put through by the end Of
the short session; in other words by the
end Of the existing Congress. Should
10 special session be called, it will
hardly be possible to dispose Of the re-
port of the monetary commission in the
life Of this Congress.
It is expected that the forthcoming
report Of the monetary commission viii

the German. Any such plan adaptable
for this country undoubtedly would

possible to force Congress to take up
with any central bank plan. Any
such plan will encounter a certain
measure of prejudice which has eN-
listed in the country since Jackson got
rid of the United States Bank, and also
that argument, that is familiar enough,
that a central bank would be certain
to be dominated by the eastern tinan-
ciaI interests and bankers to the detri-
ment Of the Western interests.

The fact that The report Of the none
taTy commission will go over until late
i'm the regular session is Of the utmost
Importance in its bearing on other pro-
posed legislation which will be before
Congress next winter. 1t has been
much talked that the banking and cur
rency reforms proposed by the monetary
commission would be pushed TO the
front for consideration next winter and
most other legislation would have TO 80
by the boft=i. This proves 70 be IN
correct. It looks as if the big feature
of the sessi on next winter would be
whether the railroads are to be Tegu-
lated more stringently and how, whether
there is to be important corporation
legislation, and whether the Sherman
law is to be modified. Waterway mat
tiers will occupy no little attention if the
report Of the waterways commission is
ready for submission, as it is expected

PRESIDENT Will KEEP
ROOSEVELT BIG STICK
Congress tIas Already Had Occasion to Know That
That Famous Weapon Is Not to Serve as Relic.
Taft Saves 7 arff Situation With It,

hands enough votes In the Senate to
send the bill back to conference. He
was extremely anxious to do so on the
ground that the Northwest had been
Disseminated against. The President,
however, would not hear of such prop
Osition. He took the position that notn-
ing could be gained by such action and
that the passage OF the Dill would not
only be unnecessarily delayed. but that
it might be less satisfactory than IN its
present shape.
Speaker Cannon found it necessary to
appeal TO the President TO get the votes
to pass the bill ia the House and senator
Aldrich mace the same appeal when the
combined forces OF the insurgents ana
range" Senators displayed sufficient
strength 20 make possible recommlt-
ment of the bill. The President not
only Gained the dissatisfied Senator'S
bat he broke the backbone of the in
surgency, leaving but seven Senators
who are determined to vote against the
bill. He even made Roadway against
these seven, nearly all of whom have
promised him not to speak at length in
opposition to the conference report.
When members OF the House go back
home and are asked for an explanation
of their votes they win declare that
they voted as the President asked them
