such as that affecting the mergers of
lines and the regulation of stock and
bond issues. This talk began to flour
ish from the moment that the smoke of
President Taft 5 train steaming away
into the West, began to darken the
horizon. If those sections should be
dropped from the railroad bill little
would be left of it except the com
merce court, which the President is
very anxious to obtain, and such ac-
ton, it is suggested, Will likely be fol
lowed by the shelving Of the raiIroad

From the political standpoint, some
action by congress is generally prefer
able to no action at all. After the long
campaign the President has made for
ais bills, his party would be hammered
in the contest for the election of a
national house next autumn if It shouId

enact only small portion of the Presi

Little wonder that such a feverish

to keep its mind upon legislation and

already firing up with politics. The big
Republicans find some difficulty in
sticking to their places here. They all
want to be ateld, engaged in the really
serious business of furtheTing the cam

While the President is travelling far
into the Southwest as the first official
willing to 90 to the people in his Off
cial capacity because of the physical
impossibility of the people going to
Washington, he is none the less inter
ested in the political observations,
which his trip will afford him the OPP
portunity to make, incidentally he is
defending the tariff and speaking for
the legislation he wants congress to

Work of Day in Congress

Washington, June Following is
a summary of the proceedings of the
two houses of congress yesterday
taken from the official records:
SENATE-The senate made material
progress with the railroad bill, adopt
ing several amendments and rejecting
others. Among the provisions accept
ed were two by Senators Simmons and
Burton prohibiting railroad companies
from reducing rates to destroy water
competition. An amendment suggested
by Senator Burton imposing a penalty
of $4,000 upon carriers for divulginE in
formation concerning shipments also
was accepted. An amendment by Mr..
Bailey reenacting the commodities
clause of the Hepburn act was reject
ed. Mr.. Bailey freely criticised the su-
preme court. Senator La Follette's
physical valuation amendment also was
voted down.
HOUSE - The entire session of the
house was occupied by a discussion of
the administration bill providing for a
new civil government for Porto Rico.
Democrats opposed the measure, claim
ing that il provided a less representa-
tive government than was now enjoyed
by the people of Porto Rico under the
Foraker act. Resident Comm issioner
Larrinaga declared that majority of
the Porto Ricans preferred the present
law governing the island to that pro-
posed by the administration bill. The
bill will be considered again next We'd
neSday.
