CONGRESS MEETS IN
EXTRA SESSION april 4
PRESIDENT CALLED NEW CON.

TREMENDOUS PRESSURE.
TARIFF MAY Be REVISED
Democratic Leaders Realize That
There Can Be No Sudden Re-

Washington. Within the hour fol-
lowing the close OF the Sixty-first
congress President Taft issued proc

Democratic and to senate barely
Republican the reciprocity agreement
with Canada. The Mccall bill, carry.
ing that agreement into effect and
passed by the house, met death at
the hands Of the old senate, which
had been freely predicted for it.
The president, well warned--if not
entirely reconciled to the fate in store
for the measure-was at the capital
to witness the obsequies. The bill
was not allowed at any time to come
up in the senate for a moments con.
sideration.
The permanent tariff board bill
forced to its passage through a re.
luctant senate-was hurried over to
the house, there to be strangled by
Democratic filibuster. The presi-
dent, In the room reserved for him
in the senate lobby, heard the news
with resignation. Congress provided
funds to continue the work of the
temporary tariff board for another
year.
1t was at the request of the Demo
Gratis of the house and senate that
President Taft fixed the date Of the
extra session as April 4.
There is little doubt now that the
Democrats of the house will under.

long as the new schedule does not
tlagrantly violate the policy Of prot9c-
ton, President Taft will not withhold
his approval of it. He has announc-
ed, however, that If general revis-
ion, in violation Of the protective pol
Icy, should be inaugurated, he would
not hesitate to use the power OF the
veto.
How long the extra session will last
Is problematical While the new con.
gress may promptly ratify the reel
orocity agreement, some Democrats
are in favor of Withholding confrma-
ton until two or three new tariff
1cedules are ready. If tariff differ
snces should arise between the new
nouse and the senate, the session un.
questionably would be long one.
In this connection, however, the in
teresting fact was developed that the
president has constitutional right
to bring the session to an end in case
the two houses Of congress cannot
agree upon a time for adjournment.
Such action, 1t is admitted, would be
revolutionary, and there is thought to
be little likelihood that any president
would care to invoke the power vest.
