Washington, Aug. 9.-The taztn, the
monetary question, control OF the
trusts and corporations, and parcels
post are among the questions Of gread
Importance which are going to con-
'front.' the next session Of congress.
Possibilities exist too, Of other mo.
mentous questions playing leading
part In the next session, which will be
the regular long session OF congress
If the ratification Of the arbitration
treaties is not accomplished this ses-
sion it will be a matter of grave con-
sideration for the senate. The appro-
lpriation bills with their hundreds OF
millions Of expenditures, will involve
Legislative questions that will merit
xerious thought.
Remssn Board Doomed.
For Instance, the way the inquiry into
the workings Of the department OF ag-
riculture with respect to the enforce
ment Of the pure food law is shaping
itself, the house is expected to come
to the conclusion that the Remsen
board Is a useless appendage Of the
administration, framed up to block the
proper enforcement Of pure food legis-
lation. 1t is quite likely this board will
be put out Of business when the agri-
cultural bill is passed.
Army legislation which proposes to
overhaul the organization Of the war
department materially, will be UP for
consideration Alaska matters and the
general subject Of conservation will
receive attention.
Reciprocity With Southern Neighbors.
The question Of extending the sphere
OF reciprocity to Mexico and other
countries in the western hemisphere,
may become acute. Senator Gore is
pressing for reciprocity arrangements
with the Pan-American nations and il
Canadian reciprocity goes into effect
an dis seen to work wei, there will be
a strong effort to extend reciprocity to
Mexico and other Latin-American
countries.
Democratic Economy Opportunity.
BY no means the least interesting
question which will be presented the
coming session is that OF the econo-
mics which the democrats will be able
to effect in the running Of the govern
ment. For many years, they have
been condemning the republicans for
extravagance. Next winter. for the
first time in about fifteen years. tho
democrats will shape the appropriation
bills in the house. 1t will be worth
while to watch and see how much they
will cut down the appropriations. Tor
the appropriation bills are shaped in
the house appropriations committee
before they go to the senate. 1t is ex-
pected that an effort will be made to
make a fine showing Of economy. OF
course, the appropriation bills Will
have to be acted on by republican
senate. The senate generally increases
the house bills and 1t may be expected
to do so this time. This might give
the house democrats a chance to es-
cape criticism for high appropriations.
should these be made. The house lead
ers are expected to make much noise
about holding the approprfa tion bills
down to low figure, below the billion
mark. when those bills pass the house.
II in the end the bills mount up to
more than billion. as they usually do.
A. will be:laid to the extravaganza Of
a republican senate.
g Tho Monetary Question.
The utmost interest is felt in finan-
cfal circles in the question Of what the
democrats are going to do about the
solving Of the monetary question. This
lis indicated blythe late circular of the
National City Bank Of New York,
which says:
.4The currency question now seems
certain to occupy large part of the
ltime.and attention Of both houses The
sdenocratic leadership in the house.
which has been markedly successful in
the special session, will not be con-
tent to ignore this question and per-
init the republicans In the senate to
iretrwhatever credit IS ob<ainable In the
;courrtry for attempting to solve It. The
final report Of the monetary commits
sion may be expected early in the ses-
sion, and there now seems to be no
doubt that an attempt will be made

ers have given no indication as yet OF
what their plan may be. but 1t may he

Chance to Play Politics.
While nobody seriously believes that
there can be any currency legislation
before the presidential election. the
house democratic leaders may be ex-
nected, for substantial political reasons
N make it clear they have plans for
Iesislation. It Is frequently pointed
n,,t that for the democrats to show

currency question would so far to Sc
