ate sent TO the House about 1000 bills
and resolutions.
, BY no means the least important work
of the House was the changing Of the
rules governing that body. The Commit
tee on Rules, through which the Speaker
Is supposed to have exercised his So
called czarlike power, was enlarged, and
was made elective, instead of appointive,
the Speaker himself being eliminated
from the committee.
A further change in the rules. which
will have marked effect on the procedure
in the House in future sessions, was that
providing for the discharge OF a COM
mittee from consideration of a measure
and paving the way for its being called
up in the House.

President Taft signed the river and
harbor tlIl carrying S52,OOO,OOO. yesterday
afternoon. but in doing so he served
notice upon Congress that 1t need never
expect TO get his approval to another
river and harbor measure drawn along
the old familiar lines.
The President made the shivers run up
and down the backs of some Representa-
tives when they learned from his mes
sage how close they had come to losing
this big pork-barrel measure.
The President said that he had made
up his mind at one time to veto the bill
in the hope of establishing\a reform in
such appropriations, but he had con-
cluded that such action would result in
TOO great damage TO projects already
under way.
Objection to PieeemeaI.
What the President objects 10 chiefly
is the pieeemeaI method Of appropria-
ton for river and harbor improvements,
and he informs Congress that in the
future he will expect it TO proceed
along more systematic lines, first de-
termining what undertakings are feas-
ible and the most urgent, and then MAX
ing sufficient appropriations for these
comparatively few projects to insure
their completion in a reasonably short
time
Mr., Taft believes that the appropria-
ton OF small sums from year to year
lessons the sense of responsibility of
those under whom the work is 10 be
done. and therefore they DO not give the
work the proper attention and care thus
opening the door TO so many Of the evils
Of government work. II was said, more
over. that under the present method of
appropriations the advocates OF any
project ind it much easier TO exact
money from each Congress for the fur
therance of the work
The President condemned. however, the
proposal to have a regular yearly har-
bOrs and rivers bill.
Detrimcnt 10 Commerce.
The message strongly brought out the
fact that the great length of time re-
quired to complete channels, canals, &c,
was a means of discouraging trade and
travel. He said that Congress should
refer the projects to boards of army
engineers for further consideration and
recommendation
Objection was also made TO the pres
ent system of having army engineers
pass on the facility of projects only and
entirely ignoring their relative impor-
tance. It was urged that a competent
board be selected 10 pass on the impor-
tance of the various projects that come
up from year 20 year.

Measured by Character.
II do not think the work OF a Con-
gress should be measured by the vol
ume of business, but by the charac-
ter of the legislation and the care
taken in its consideration. Measured
by that standard the Sixty-first Con-
gress viii take a high place in the
record of legislation.
There have been, however, more
than 5000 Of the 1900 bills considered
and reported from committees, and
about 800 public laws enacted In this
session. as against 900 public laws
for the entire SiXtieth Congress. l

of the House for industry and intel
ligence in their legislative work Of
