in December The first congress met
on March 4, 1872 by virtue of the con-
stitution. From that time until 1920
various times were appointed by law
for the assembling of congress But
in 1920 the first Monday in December
was fixed as the annual meeting day.
AS the term Of the congress begins
March 4 that law means that con-
gress does not meet for nine months
after it is in office. 1t also means
that while there is practically no limit
within a year on the first regular ses-
sion, the second session can last at
best only from the first week in De-
cember to March 4. Thus is established
our system of long" and short" ses-
sions of congress.
The four extra sessions held before
1920 were called for reasons connected
with the war with France and the sec
ond war with England, and had little
work to do. But since 1920 every ex-
ira session of congress has been made
necessary by reason Of the fact that
the regular session does not meet IN
til so long after the new congress
comes into office.
Extra Session Creates Treasury
President Van Buren, called the 18th
congress to meet on September 4, 1887.
to take some action to relieve the
financial panic that oppressed the
country. In this extra session the
house passed the independent treasury
bill, and although it was defeated Ia
the senate at that time. it afterwards
became a law and established the
treasury department as it now exists
Independent Of a central bank
President William Henry Harrison,
on March II, 1S41, called an extra ses-
sion of the 9th congress to meet on
May 81. Before the congress met, and
after he had been in office one month,
President Harrison cied, on April f.
and was succeeded by vice president
John Tyler The congress Was con-
trolled by the Wings, who had elected
Harrison and Tyler. The Wings were
committed to the proposition TO repeal
the independent treasury act and to
establish instead a central bank of the
United States The congress passed
the bill. but Tyler vetoed it with spe-
eific objections. Congress amended the
bill to meet with these objections, and
Tyler vetoed 1t again The extra ses-
sion ended on September 13 with the
Wing party disrupted. every member
of the cabinet but one having resigned.
This was one Of the stormiest sessions
Of congress ever held
The War Extra Session.
President Lincoln called an extra

July 4, 1861 War already had begun
between the north and south, and con-
gress was convened to vote supplies.
The session lasted only little over a

other things 1t had passed the Morrill,
war tariff bill
President Johnson early In his term
became engaged in a bitter struggle
with congress over the question Of re-
construction Of the states lately in
rebellion" He called an extra session

Of congress called by a president in
consequence of the existence of IAN
extraordinary occasion The congress
which will meet Is the 62nd since the
adoption of the constitution, and is
composed of the representatives elected
last November in the house. and of 81
hold-over senators and 80 senator's
newly elected or reelected by their
state legislatures, in the senate.
President Taft called the extra ses-
sion to consider and determine the
proposition of passing legislation to
make effective the reciprocal trade
agreement entered into between the
executives of this country and Canada.
But he knew that the congress. If
called, could and probably would go
farther and enter upon more or less
general revision Of the tariff laws.
Other Extra Sessions.
OF the Is extra sessions held since
the foundation of the government five
have considered the tariff problem. The
war tariff of 1861 was passed by the
extra session called by president Lin
coin to make provision for raising
revenuetto prosecute the military oper-
atoms against the seeding states. In
that case the tariff revision was a.
mere incident. President Mckinley in
1897 called an extra session to revise
the tariff, the result being the Dingley
bill. In 1903 president Roosevelt called
a special session late in the autumn
to pass the Cuban reciprocity bin, but
at that time the Republican majority
was so great in both houses that there
was not the slightest danger that the
general tariff question would be
opened.
The other two special tariff sessions
have been called by president Taft The
61st congress was called for March Is,
1909. 1t stayed in session until it
finally passed the Payne-AIdrich tariff
bill in August Of that same year That
congress was Republican in both
branches, but factionalism in the party
broke the force of the organization
Nevertheless. the tariff was passed by
the Republicans.
House VIII Be Democratic.
Now president Taft, two years later,
calls another congress to pass on an
other feature OF the tariff. knowing
that it Will take up the work of re-
vising the bill passed two years ago.
In this congress the house will be Dem
ocratic.
Only one other president than Taft
ever called an extra session of con-
gress when the opposition party was
in control of either branch of congress-
That was president Hayes, who was
forced to call extra sessions OF both
congresses that held office under his
administration because of the failure
Of appropriation bills. despite the fact
that in the first one the house was
Democratic and in the second both
house and senate were controlled by
Democrats.

ident issued his proclamation, would

er, to protect the interests of their
citizens in Mexico, OF TO compel the
government OF Mexico TO reimburse
their citizens for losses sustained from
insurrecto depredations is no violation
of the principles Of the Monroe doc
trine. The United States is in no way
responsible to any foreign power for
these losses sustained, nor liable d.
rectly or by implication for their pay
ment- The government Of Mexico is
alone responsible. This was fully ex-
planned in 1861 by the demands of
England, France and Spain, when. they
compelled Mexico to pay debts due
their citizens, and when this was done
it was a CLOSED incident" and the
United States did not utter a word.
But when Louis Napoleon launched his
legions for the conquest OF Mexico
and the establishment Of an empire with
an Austrian archduke on the throne,
it was a clear, direct and paIpable
violation OF the Monroe doctrine
which the United States, then head
over heels in war, resented by futile
protests, but when its internercine
conflict was ended it asserted the
principles of the doctrine with a show
Of 100000 veterans in arms. and
Louis Napoleon wanted no second hint
to call his army home.
And so the situation is today. The
United States is not responsible for the
protection OF foreign property in Mex
leo. England, Germany and France can
send troops there to protect the prop
erty and persons OF their citizens, and
collect money for losses sustained by
them, and Uncle Sam can't say a word;
but If any attempt is made at appro-
priation of territory or permanent oc-
cupation of territory then the Monroe
doctrine applies. and if not needed. the
stars and stripes borne by the gallant
boys in blue, would soon be on the
other side of the Rio Grande, not to
subjugate or to conquer Mexico. but
to maintain the guaranteed integrity
of her territory
