LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM OUTLINE
Eleven Appropriation Bills and Tariff
Jangle Makes Definite Results
Doubtful.
BY WINFIELD JONES.

Washington, Dec. 6,-(SpeciaD-
The first regular session of the Sixty
Second Congress finds itself con-
fronted with the most important
work that has faced a session in many
years. A big game of politics is on,
for both parties are playing politics
from the start.
A serious legislative program has
been mapped out, but with eleven
appropriation bills in the way, and
the tariff the overshadowing issue,
according to the Democratic leaders
of the House, it is doubtful that much
general legislation will go on the
statute books
Birds Eye View of Situation.
A birds eye view of the situation
indicates that the following legisla-
tion will take precedence:
First. Bills originating in the
House providing for substantial re-
duction of the tariff, especially of
the wool, cotton, iron, steel and
chemical schedules of the Payne-Al-
drich tariff law. To put any of
these bills through the Senate, the
Democrats must have the aid of the
insurgents who helped last session to
hn oil orI
the president. The House Democrats
will pay little attention to the re-
port of the tariff board, unless it co.
incides with Democratic views.
Second. Appropriation bills, also
originating in the House, which will
be modelled along Democratic lines of
economy. The Democrats propose to
make substantial cuts in appropria-
tion and to do away with billion-dol-
lar Congresses.
Third. The arbitration treaties
with Great Britain and France. The
Senate will be considering these
treaties while the House is wrestling
with the tariff and appropriation.
Fourth. Amendments to the Sher-
man Antitrust law There is the
greatest diversity of opinion in the
House and Senate as to whether the
Sherman law should be amended or
left alone.
Fifth. A Federal incorporation
act, which the president will sug-
gest as one of the remedies for pres
ent business troubles.
May Last to October.
Sixth. A bill providing for cur
rency reform, drawn probably after
the Aldrich plan.
operation, government and mainten-
Seventh. A law governing the
ance of the Panama Canal.
Trailing along, without such
chance for passage at this crowded
session, will be bills for ship sub
sidy, parcels post, a measure Great
ing a national department of public
health, and bill inaugurating a
pension system for aged government
employees.
There is little prospect that the
session will end before the latter
part Of next June. Representative
Mann, the minority leader, in pes
simistic and caustic interview direct
ed at the Democrats, predicts that
the session twill dawdle along like a
derelict at sea until October" Rep
cratic floor leader in the House, de-
clares that eh hopes to get away in
June.

Southern Senator Admits He Drew
Hanson Bill and That He Will
Stand By New Measure.
N. M. D. A. ON RECORD FOR EXTRA
Resolution Passed at Brainerd Year
Ago Demanding Special Session ..
if Regular Failed to Act.

Two important features today in
the proposition to pass a resolution
at St. Cloud calling for an extra ses-
sion of the legislature are:
Public letter from Senator A. J.
Rockne promising to support a reap
portionment bill at an extra session
and admitting that he was the author
of the so-called Hanson bill.
Attention is called to the fact that
the Northern Minnesota Development
association is on record by resolution
in favor of an extra session, resolu-
tion to this effect having been passed
at the Brainerd convention year.
Senator Rockne's letter to the
Daily Pioneer in full follows:
Senator Rockne's Letter.
editor Bemidji Pioneer: l am in
favor of an extra session and believe
that much good would result there
from. I view, however, with some
alarm as to what might be the real
outcome of such a session at this
time. If we could limit the work to
certain things, such as reapportion-
>ment and few other matters that
need attention it would be all right,
but we are sure to be met with a
large number Of other matters which
in my. opinion should notEbe brou ght t
up at this time. We. would for ex-
ample be sure to be met with the re-
call propaganda over which some peo-
pie in these days seem to have gone
mad. This new doctrine of govern
ment may be good thing, but I
would much rather see it tried out
in other states before we experiment
with it. Should that come up at an
extra session it would no doubt pass,
not because the members would be-
lieve in it, but because they would be
afraid to be termed ''reactionaries'
or Fstand-patters.'
Warns Against Frenzied Legislation.
"All legislation brought about by
a frenzy is generally bad. This may
be an exception, but in any event
no particular harm could follow if
some of these new doctrines were
tried out by degrees. 1t seems to me
at this time that the recall could be
used to drive every poor man out of
public office as powerful interest
could so manage matters as to have

About Railway Taxes.

EASd1u we mlSHt PASS al act falS-
ing the taxes on railway property of
this state. Many good men are urg-
ing this. No one could afford to vote
against it yet there is a question
whether this would be a good thing.
1t would not take much of. reduc-
tion in either freight or passenger
rates to- more than compensate the
people in the way of increased taxes.
Only one-half cent a. mile reduction
in passenger rates in Minnesota
would save the people many many
times more money than would the
increased tax rate proposed by the
Duluth Herald and a reduction in
freight rates would mean many mil
lions saved to people over and above
the proposed method. Candidly would
we not be better Off if we would wait
until we see what the Supreme Court
will do with the so-called Sandborn
decision? l have no fear that that
Court will take away from the states
the right to regulate the creatures
they themselves have called into ex-
istence. No corporation exists ex-
cept as a creature of state law, ex-
cept the National banks, and no
Court can or will say, in the final
analysis, that a state cannot regulate
that which it, has created. In this
matter I believe we would gain time

COLORADO WILL BEAR
$5,OOO,OOO CROP

Colorado's fruit crop for 1911 will be
worth S., 90, 900 to the growers OF the
State. 1t will be the bumper" year
for this State. These facts were
brought out by the reports which the
members from the different parts OF
the State gave as to the conditions IN
thir respective localities at the meet
ing of the State Board Of Horticulture
recently.
Ira B. Cline. of Paonia, said there
had been no damage from frost to that
section of the State, and that every
thing pointed to the best peach crop IN
five years from the North Fork dis
trict. Double the quantity of fruit
ever sent from that section will be
shipped this year, according to his
statements.
George Harbert, of Manzanolla, re-
ported that the frost in the southern
part of the State had damaged the
crop of Ben Davis apples slightly, and
that the crop Of Missouri Pippinss
would be a little short. The general
outlook, however, is for good crop
and of better quality than last year.
In the Arkansas valley the cherry
crop will be large, and in 0tero county
alone almost 100 acres of new cherry
trees have been planted. Montezums
county, in the extreme southwestern
part of the state, also sent reports OF
splendid prospects for record break
ing fruit crop.
From the northern part of the State,
d. R. Stotler, of Fort Lupton, re-
ported GOOD crops in prospect, while
similar reports were heard from c. Z.

SHORT BASKETS"
ARE CONFISCATED

Three thousand five hundred ''bueh-
el'' baskets were burned Wednesday,
May "a, by Commissioner of Weights
and Measures Walsh in Wallabout,
Market Square, in Brooklyn. OF that
number l, l72 were seized by the city
on March "a from Long Island farmers
and spectators for their failure to
contain full bushel. The baskets
were tested at the time of the raid
with white beans, and a large number
fell as many as ten quarts short OF
requirements.
1t was said by many in Wallabout
who watched the blaze that the farm
ers were only waiting for the city to
destroy their property in order to start
suit for recovery of the money they
have lost. The commissioner, when
interviewed, said his department was
fully protected by law and backed by
the Mayor in the matter. He said he
had given the farmers ample warning.

Missouri Prospects Good.

The State Board of Horticulture is
in receipt of special reports from
every county in the State.
and from these advices the following
summary of conditions regarding the
apple crop up to May 10 is compiled,
On the whole, there promises to be
a good crop of this fruit throughout
the entire State. In the parts OF the
State where orchards bore heavily last
season there was not heavy bloom
this year. Also there is universal
complaint of a light bloom with the
Ben Davis type, and now and then a
few other varieties. Jonathan prom
ises especially well almost every
where. Reports seem to show the
best yield in the northeast counties.
In the southwest the crop is well dis
tributed, although not particularly
heavy. II is believed there is enough
bloom everywhere to insure as much
fruit as the trees should be permitted
to bear. Prospects now are for the
largest crop in years. s.-Frult Trade

Seek BETTER Varieties.

The following paragraphs submitted
by A.. A. Schenck indicate thirty mil
lion apple trees put out of commission
either permanently or for several
yeals. Probably most of them will
never again be in the producing list.
These large withdrawals from existing
old orchards are several times greater
than the paintings of the Pacific
Northwest and indicate that no over
production is possible. When high
grade apple is substituted for Ben
Davis, consumption will be increased
beyond even the maximum production

we are producing only 20, 600, 900 bar.
rels for population in the United
States of over 90,000.000 people. as
against the former $1,000, 900 barrels
when the population was only 10000
900.
"There are probably 80, 900, 900 apple
trees in Missouri" said W. L. How
ard, professor of horticulture at the
University of Missouri. Many of the
orchards are of trees from ten to
twenty years old, and the growers
have hesitated to uproot them and to
wait for a number of years for young
orchards to come into bearing. But
new systems of top grating have been
trieu with success, and the department
of horticulture has taken up the work
of educating orchardists in order to rid
the state of poor varieties.
