Six Year Term for President
TO COME UP AT SHORT SESSION
 OF CONGRESS
WORKS WILL PUSH IT
Considerable Legislative Work Ahead For Congress When 1t Comes in One Week From Today.

Washington, Nov 24.-Congress win reoonvene a week from tomorrow for the last short session of republican control in national legislation. Com paratively few senators and represen- tatives had reached Washington today but discussion over plans for the win ter's work and the prospects for the tariff session next spring when all branches of the government pass tn- to the hands of the democrats.
 Considerable Left Over Business.
 While the vexing question of the tariff is not scheduled for considera- tion this winter, the three months of the short session will be crowded with legislative work. In addition to the annual grist of appropriation bills, congress will be forced to dispose of a quantity of general and special leg islative matter left pending with the adjournment of the long session 1 August.
 Impeachment of Archibald. During the early part of the session the house will be busy shaping appro- priation bills while the senate is dis posing of the Impeachment trial of Judge Robert w. Archibald of the com merce court, set 10 begin December 3.
 Six-Year Term for Presidents.
 Several important measures will be pushed for early action in the senate, among them the resolution of Senator Works of California, to limit the pres ident to six-year term, the Sheppard Kenyon bill prohibiting the shipment of liquor into prohibition states, and the vocational education bill of Sena- tor Page of Vermont. The bill of Sen ator Borah creating a department of labor is also scheduled for early con- sideratien.
 Prohibition Liquor Measure.
 The department of labor bill has passed the house, but that body would still have to act upon the vocational education bill and the six-year presi- dential term measure if they passed the senate. The prohibition lIonor measure will be pushed in the house by Representative Sheppard of Texas, who will succeed Senator Bailey in the next congress.
 To Amend Sherman Law.
 Energetic efforts will be made in | both houses to secure legislation amending the Sherman antitrust law and limiting contributions to political campaign funds. The house Judiciary l committee Is under instructions by l lO COHQuCl du investigation | into violations of the Sherman law with view to preparing legislation and it is preparing to begin the in- vestigation immediately after congress | convenes.
 To Limit Campaign Contributions.
 Senator Kenyon's bill amending the Sherman law, which has been before the senate interstate commerce com mittee, will undoubtedly be brought | up for early action in the senate.
 Meanwhile the committee headed by Senator Clapp will probably formulate a measure limiting campaign contri- buttons, based upon its extensive in- vestigations. Several bills on this subject are pending in senate and | house.
 To Repeal Reciprocity Agreement.
 Efforts will be made during the ses- sion to repeal at least a part of the Canadian reciprocity tariff agreement. The attempts failed last summer, when the repeal was attached to va rious democratic tariff bills. The fail ure of Canada to ratify the agreement left only the clause relating to wood pulp and print paper in operation.
