Idle Time for House.

The House, meantime, will be without
occupation. 1t has been suggested that
this might be a good thing, as it would
concentrate the attention of the country
on the Senate and hurry the delibera-
tons of that body. But to others, the
prospect of spending the Intervening
months idling in Washington, adiourning
three days at a time. is not acceptable.
1T is expected to be especially irksome to
the ambitious new members of the. Con-
greSs, eager to win their spurs and make
showing for the folks at home
The advocates of currency reform
propose to take. advantage of this sit
uatlon and urge the administration
and the leaders to bring in currency
legislation. They have the additional
argument of the admitted crying need
of currency Legislation. affected only
by question of eXpediency.
President Wilson has assured callers
that he is not opposed to immediate
action on the currency; he is keeping
an open mind on the subject. His first
wish is to expedite tariff revision If
currency reform can be taken up with
out interfering with that program he
is entirely agreeable to the undertake

EXTRA SESSION LIKELY

President Wiling if Action
Does Not Conflict With
Tariff Revision.

Possibility of currency reform legiSla-
ton at the extra session of Congress APP
pears TO close observers to be contained
in the present plan of the tariff makers
to encompass the tariff legislation in one
comprehensive bill rather than series of.
schedule-by-sche measures.
Under the ironclad rules of the House
anything desired by the majority can be
accomplished within a time set by the
majority; debate can be limited, voting
limited and business expedited. It is thus
possible for the House to rid itself of the
Protracted Debate Expected.
In the Senate there is sure to be long
debate over the tariff. The leaders and
the administration may confer in advance
all they please and frame an understand
ing on the general scope and policy of
the legislation, but when the bill is &C.
tually before the Senate for considera-
ton, paragraph by paragraph, senators
Will have their say, and plenty of it, and

Most of the mining men expressed
a willingness to accept as a Compro-
mise some method of assessing mines
on a combination of gross and net
production Two OF them, however,
spoke against any such plan, declar-
ing that net production alone is the
only equitable basis.
The principal address on behalf Of
the mining companies was made by J..
Parke Charming, consulting engineer
of the Miami Copper company.
Most of AriZOna's mines are differ
ent from those Of Michigan, said Mr..

assessment plan. The veins and shoots
in the Copper Queen, Calumet < Ari-
IONA Old Dominion, United Verde and
many other producers are OF varying
width. Until the ore has been blocked
out on three sides no one can be sure
that il is there. The blanket deposits
OF Ray and some Of the MorenCi mines
can be estimated with reasonable ac-
Curacy-
Mr.. Claiming drew attention 10 the
fact that the value Of a mine decreases
every time a pound OF ore is taken
out. it does not increase in value as
il is worked. as does farm
