CONGRESS
END IN JUNE

Washington. April f3.-Congress
will adjourn before the middle Of
June and possibly by June first, 1t is
believed by President Taft and the

will be in such shape they can be
enacted into law soon after congress
meets in December.

early passage of the five administra-

bank bill. the conservation bill and

surest way to prevent further Demo
cratic congressional inroads is the
passage of these measures.
The postal savings bank bill Ii in

The President has signed the first
of the proclamations providing for
the reclassification of the lands In the

four million acres out of the forest
reserves and make them availe le

ty-thousand acres are ordered out Of
