port" declared the Utah senator, 'and
hope the findings will be accepted by

that wool bill prepared and based on

To Probe "Money Trust"
The house committee on rules has
prepared today to begin its investiga-
ton into the money trust 1t is un-
derstood that Samuel Untermyer of
New York will play an influential part
in the industry.
I'VE shall never be able to solve the

have been made TO realize that this is
the greatest and most difficult prob
lem Of them all and the one that un-
derlies all the others. Those who I'M
agine it is Pigment of the magma
ton, created by the demogague, know
nothing of the dangers of the situation.

confronts the country, but one that is

Expect Long Session of Congress
Most congressman have returned to
Washington with the idea of remain
ing h. re until well in the summer. Both
Republican and Democratic leaders
predict long session which will eX-
tend over both national conventions.
While the Democrats feel there is
much to be accomplished at this ses-
sion, and declare it will take long
time to accomplish it, it is asserted
that nothing extremely radical will be
attempted, and that congress will not
enact laws of character to injure the
average business man.
