BILLMAk|NG A RECORD
Present Grind of Lawmakers at
Washington Exceeds That of
Previous Years.
PENSION MEASURES ARE MANY
Greater Leniency Now Because OF
Decreasing Numbers of the
Civil War Veterans.
Washington correspondence

Correspondence
In bills introduced and passed this
Congress has broken all existing rec
ords. Notwithstanding the fact that
Congress has only recently begun to
take real interest in the legislation
demanded by President Taft, it has
cost something to mark time, and the
result is that more legislation has
gone through both houses than ever
before in one session. Added to the
fact that both houses have been labor
out of lack of stable leadership, is
the liberalization of the House rules,
particularly the addition of calendar
Wednesday, which has served to facili-
tate legislative action.
The growth of the legislative bust
ness of Congress since the Spanish
war has been enormous Incidentally,
the growth of the government it>elf
In the number of its employees has like
wise increased in nearly all de-
partments. Up to the seth Congress,
when the Republicans regained control
Of the House, no Congress had been
called upon to pass upon more than
5000 bills. Within recent years, not
less than 10000 bills have been intro
duced in each Congress. The posses
sion of outlying territory, the progress
of railroad building, which necessi-
tates the passage of a bill for each
bridge built over a navigable stream,
the increase in public works of all
kinds, and the general agitation for
q conservation of the national re-
sources and for a moral uplift all
around, has had its effect on the bill
basket Of Congress.
What Congress Has Done.
The record of Congress up to June
is as follows:
Bills introduced in the Senate,
1892; in the House, 26,651.
Of this number about 10000 bills
have been reported upon to the house,
! either favorably or unfavorably, and
about $500 have been passed through
that body, and over 5000 have been
passed through either the House or
Senate. In addition, there have been
1875 house resolutions, 224 joint reso-
buttons and 46 concurrent resolutions
introduced in the House. Among the
measures which have passed the House
are 1877 public bills, rs private bills,
80 public resolutions and private
resolutions. There have been "a ON
nibus bills passed, each carrying from
10 to $50 separate measures.
Probably 5000 of the bills which
have passed this Congress relate to
pensions, corrections of military rec
ords, and war claims. These come up
before Congress in the form OF pri-
vate pension bills, private laws and
private resolutions. More pension
bills have been passed at this Con-
gress than at any recent session, and
this fact is ascribed to a growing
leniency by the pension committee be-
cause the original pensioners are
dying off so fast that the annual PEN
sion charge is showing signs of dimin-
| ishing.

which prevailed in several New Eng

of the deacons to walk up and down
the aisles of the church at the close of
each service and deliver to every per-
son who in their judgment was fitted
to commune a metal check, which en-
titled him at the next celebration of
the Lords supper to join in the sacred

the committee on the judiciary from
the further consideration of the reso-

Notwithstanding the Cherry mine
disaster and the fact that the amount
of coal mined in the United States in
1909 was 10 ger cent greater than in

in the United States were fewer in 1909
