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

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
time when his party has absolute con-
trol 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 in
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 large extent are men Of
comparatively recent rise to promi-
nence, Because of the fact that the
Democratic party is providing a change
from Republican rule for the first time
in sixteen years great interest is CEN
tered upon this 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 been
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
the revision is to be managed. and it
has been well understood that they
would not all be pleased over all
the details of the ultimate changes.
The subject has been thrashed over so
often and earnestly that its intricac cies
have become feared

which has had the task of drafting the
tentative form of the new tariff meas

extra session. but the probability is
that the measure will be taken up

The public has been led to expect
that after the tariff is disposed of con-
ereSS will consider currency, the In

Much publicity has been given to the
national income tax. The tax
will probably apply only 10 incomes OF .
over 5000 annually Certain members .
Of congress hold that this sort OF levy

lively small proportion Of the public .
and that the revenue would not be suf-
