THE FIELD OF BUsINE SIS

Sioux City Journal: It's doubtful
If session OF congress pledged to
tariff revision ever was received mo re
philosophically than the special ses-
sion that convened in Washington q
a week ago today. This may have
been largely to the fact that the dem
ocrats, who are now entrusted with
tariff responsibility, have given two
recent samples of the kind of revis-
ion they have in mind. The sam pies
did not seriously alarm business, and
the expectation now appears to be
that similar schedules enacted into
law will not have a disrupting effect
on trade. President Wilson's mes
sage, while firm, was regarded as
moderate in tone. Efforts to stir up
3 little excitement in the stock mar
ket on the strength of it did not get
very far.
The government crop report got
more attention that the preSident's 4
message last week and its effect Was
diatinetly favorable.

Huron Huronite: During the last

directing the secretary of state to
place on the general election ballot

ed States senator and TO canvass the

This enactment contemplates the

vides a process through which the

tors can be complied with, in the
Judgment of the newspaper experts.
In most of the states no prepara-
tion has been made for compliance
with the terms OF the new constitu
tional provision and in many of
them extra legislative sessions will
have to be call to authorize the pro-
cedure.
