ment and one for the Arlington monu-
n ent, featured the second days ses-
sion of the convention.
One of the most pleasing features of
the morning session was the %presenta-

v%ention by Mrs. Daisy McLaurin
Stevens.
Miss Blewett, in the following words,
presented a pand-painted picture of the

INTEREST IN THE. SESSION.
For the First Time In Many Years

For the First Time In Many Years
Democrats Control.
Elements in the extra session of con
gress are unusual President Wilson
has called the great body together at d
time when his party has absolute con
troll of every branch of the govern
ment relating to legislation.
This has not been the case before in
twenty years. During that period OF
long ago when the Democrats were III
power President Cleveland called an
extra session. but the conditions were
vastly different from now.
The extra session under President
Wilson is remarkable because the law
makers to a large extent are men OF
comparatively recent rise to prOmi'
nence Because of the fact that the
Democratic party is providing change
from Republican rule for the first time
in sixteen years great interest is cen
tered upon the dOings of congress.
Virtually a new generation of legis-
lators, has sprung up. With but very
few exceptions there are no men who
figured in congressional doings OF
twenty years ago who are sharing the
responsibilities of the body now.
Of only one thing has the public beer
absolutely certain. and that is that the
tariff would be first and foremost
among the subjects for work by the
legislators. and that revision downward
would be the purpose. The Legislators
themselves have not known just how
%I T. 70 hn nd
has been we'll understood that they
would not all be pleased over al
the details of the ultimate changes
The subject has been thrashed over Sc
often and earnestly that its intricacies
have become feared.
The ways and means committee
which has had the task of drafting the
tentative form of the new tariff meas
ure. has been unable to announce com
pIetion of its work in advance Of the
extra session. but the probability is
that the measure will be taken up
schedule by schedule.
The public has been led to expect
that after the tariff is disposed of con
gress will consider currency. the in
come tax. Philippine independence and
the Panama tolls questions.
Much publicity has been given to the
proposed national income tax The tax
will probably apply only to incomes of
over $5.OOO annually. Certain members
Of congress hold that this sort OF levy
would be confined to but compare
lively small proportion of the public
and that the revenue would not be suf-
ficient They argue that an inheritance
tax should be added to insure the need.
