DEMOCRATS REACH WASHING.
TON FOR EXTRA SESSION.
Interest centers In Democratic Camp
Where Tentative Program Is
Slowly Assuming Shape.

Washington, Marcn 22-New mem.
bers OF congress are arriving for the
extra session. Holdover senators and
representatives who went out of town
for a brief vacation are returning In
the Democratic camp a tentative pro
gram is slowly taking shape.
Interest centers In what the Demo
Gratis are doing rather than in the &C
tivities Of the Republicans for the rea-
son that the legislation of the session
will nearly all be initiated in the
house. The Democratic members of
the ways and means committee expect
to be prepared to submit definite
program TO the caucus of the house
Democrats which has been called for
Saturday, April /. The members of
this committee are inclined TO believe
the caucus will ratify their actions.
The program as 1t stands provides
for the consideration Of the Canadian
reciprocity as an Independent subject
and for revision at the extra session
of the wooden schedule, the cotton
schedule and the iron and steel sched'
ule of the present tariff law. Mem
bers OF the committee are not dis
posed to look with favor on the sug'
gestion from the White House that no
attempt to revise any of the schedules
of the existing law shall be made be
fore the tariff board shall have re
ported fully on these schedules. The
committee holds to the view that the
people want the relief and want Il
now. One member of the committee
said that Democrats certainly could
not do less than insist on correcting
at this session the inequalities in the
wooden and cotton schedules plainly
pointed out by Senator Dolliver when
the Aldrich- Payne bill was under con
sideration. Unless the Democrats
change their minds they will not sup
port legislation for the creation of a
permanent tariff commission.
