Washington, Feb. s. Especial. =
Evidently there is a desire on the part
OF quite a number OF people to have
President Taft take hold Of the senate
and house, knock their heads together
and force them to pass a number OF
measures which he has recommended.
Notably among them are the Canadian
reciprocity agreement and the bill for
a permanent tariff board.

a procedure on the part of the presi-
dent would be regarded in many quar-
tiers as a most beneficial executive &C

as much will be gained by giving pub
lie sentiment an opportunity to push
these matters as II he should make a
spectacular play OF executive force
The president believes that the SEN
timent liz 80 strong throughout the
country for both Canadian reciprocity
and a tariff commission that it viii
have as much effect as the threat OF
an extra session or any other method
of executive pressure.

SAYS Congressman Kahn, that both
Japan and China win make the most
elaborate exhibits that were ever e
at n exposition and that race preju-
dice will not interfere In any way with
the exposition.
1t Is also known that the Japanese
Chinese merchants who make ex-
hibits expect to sell large quantities
of their goods to their people living in
America, and In this as in other things
the dollar Will cut a big figure.
