DEMOCRATS ASK
FOR MORE TINE

Washington, d. c., March 12-
President Wilson was urged by Rep
resentative Oscar Underwood, the
Democratic house leader, today to
postpone the date of the extra ses'
sion of Congress at least week. AS
result of Mr.. Underwood's sugges-
ton recently, the president had fixed
upon April l.
Mr.. Underwood advised the presi-
dent that the ways and means COM
mittee would require more time in
preparing the new tariff bills.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Wilson has said
he would be guided by the counsel OF
house leaders, it was REGARDED as
practically certain today that the
new congress would not convene be-
fore April 7 or s. Mr.. Underwood
discussed with the president the ad-
visibility of including anything more
than the tariff in his first message to
congress. 1t was expected that the
proclamation calling the new con-
gress would be submitted to the cab
met today.
The presidents proclamation is ex-
pected to point out that the extra
session is called for the purpose of
revising the tariff alone.

APPROPRIATIONS
THIS AFTERNOON

The Public monies bill, senate sub
stitute for senate bill No. "a passed
the senate this morning after consid-
cradle debate and an effort on the part
OF Mr.. Burns to change the rate of in
terest on public funds from a mini
mum of per cent to 3 per cent.
Mr. Burns motion was lost, a ma
tjority of the senate holding that the
rate ought to be reasonably low in or
der to make competition among the
banks for these deposits. The bill
likewise provides that local banks
shall have preference, all other con
ditions being equal.
The bill was the subject of a confer
ence among the Republican members
several days ago The original meas
ure was bitterly opposed by Mr..
Champion and other senators on the
grounds that it was so drawn as to
show gross favoritism to certain "po-
ltical banks" Under the new bill. it
is asserted, political banking is
eliminated in the handling of public
monies.
SUMNER COUNTY BILL
WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION.
The bill for the creation of Sumner
county, which already has passed the
house was reported to the senate this
morning without recommendation.
That means that the bill will undergo
a fight in the senate, but it is said
there are enough votes, both Demo
cratic and Republican to pass it.
The measure was considered in the
committee on county and county lines
where several delegations appeared in
its behalf There are about thirty
Sumner county boosters in Santa Fe
today working for the passage of the
measure and the senate is being bonn
barded with kilograms and letters.
SENATE CAUCUS WAS
LONG DRAWN OUT ONE.
x caucus Of the Republican mem
bers of the senate which began yes
terday afternoon shortly after two
o'clock and which lasted until nine
o'clock last night discussed the vari-
Gus constitutional amendments pro-
posed by various members of the SEN
ate.
1t is understood that the question
of submitting an amendment to the
electorate of statewide prohibition
caused a general row in the caucus
and that there still exists such a
wide division on the matter that this
proposed amendment will never be
submitted by strictly party vote.
1t is said, however, that if the COM
mittee on constitutional amendments
reports the amendment at all, it will
pass the senate with about two or
three majority, and that party lines
will fall before it. Democrats, Re.
publicans and Progressives favor the
amendment while on the other hand it
is said that certain Republicans and
one or two Democratic members just
as bitterly oppose it.
The committee on constitutional
amendments today reported favorably
Senator Pages proposed amendment
to elect county officers for two years
only 1t also reported favorably, the
proposed amendment for the direct
election of senators.
