CAPITOL CALENDARS
ARE WELL CROWDED
Many Important Measures viii
Demand Attention Soon
After Return From Holidays.

When Congress reconvenes after the
holidays it will have before it n long
program of important measures to be
considered.
! Months of work will lie ahead of it.
and many members see visions Of being
tied up in Washington all summer
However. the fact the Administration
and the Democratic leaders In Congress
have virtually decided not to enact radi-
cal anti-trust legislation may have a
tendency to make the session less
lengthy than expected. Pressure to end
the session in June will be great
Apart from consideration of the trust
question, there are numerous matters
of moment either on the calendar of
House or Senate or under consideration
In committee
Tho Alaska railroad bill is on the
calendar in both houses, and will be
threshed out as soon as Congress re-
convenes. 1t raises tho great question
OF public ownership of railroads and
other utilities, and so possesses an i'm
portance not measured by the bound
aries of Alaska.
District Measure.
Consideration of this bill. of the bill
for appointment of a commission on
vocational education, and of the District
OF Columbia appropriation bill will be
the first thing before the House except
as new matters may be sprung on It.
Some after the Senate gets through the
Alaska railroad bill, efforts will be made
to force a vote on the woman suffrage
measure, the proposed amendment to
the Constitution granting equal suf-
frage. The Owen bill for legislative
reference bureau viii also be brought
up.
In both houses, il is expected there
VIII be insistence on passage of bank
guarantee law, in view of promises
made by the Democratic leaders while
the currency debate was on.
One or the most important measures
which the House has before il Is the
La Toilette seamen's bill, already pass
ed by the Senate, and opposed strongly
by powerful shipping interests.
For Public Health.
The House mas on the calendar for
oy Committee of the
Whole, such pills as the Adamson bill
to broaden the Public Health Service;
the Clapp campaign contributions bill;
the anti-convict labor bill, and the Bur-
nett immigration bill.
The opponents of free tolls through
the Panama Canal are renewing their
efforts and the Adamson resolution TO
suspend free tolls for two years will be
pressed in the House. hard fight at
each end of the Capitol is expected over
this question
Government ownership OF telephones
and telegraphs will not get into law this
session, but will come in for much dis
cussion. Labor legislation of a far
nature is sought, especially
anti injunction legislation.
The appropriation measures alone will
take much time and will carry in them
selves proposed legislation which will
cause ample debate. Because of the
time required 20 spend about a billion
or authorize its expenditure,
numerous important pieces OF proposed

session, that they have been side-track-

Governor Baldwin Expresses Firm Faith in the Ef-
 ficacy of the New Currency Law
NEED GOOD MEN ON FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
His Excclency Has Faith Believe That Such Will be Ap-
 pointed Before Economic Club New Haven
 Senator Hollis Democrat, Points Out Defects of the Law-Senator Weeks Says is up the Administration

New Haven. Conn, Dec. 29.-"The working out of the new banking and currency law will depend upon this administration" said Senator John w. Weeks of Massachusetts tonight in ao- dressing the Economic club 0n the currency question.
 The administration will have to work through the federal reserve board. The less politics we have in that board. the better the law will be. In any case. the success of the system depends upon the character of the board. The men on it should stand as high in the estimation of the busi- ness men of the country as the judges who sit on the supreme bench stand in the estimate of the legal profession; and the same ambitions should inhu- ence the men who sit on the board as influence the justices of the supreme court, which is to serve their coun- try.''
 Senator Hollis Points Out Defects.
 Senator H. F. Hollis. democrat, who also sat on the senate finance commit tee and was the other speaker of the evening, said:
 The two defects which have been pointed out in the bill are that it gives the banks too many advantages, and the danger of imitation. In the fist place, We gave the bankers advantages as we wished to coax them into the system. We gave them every benefit we could; we overdid it a little, in my opinion. But we knew that If we did not get the bankers in there would be no system.
 AS to the danger of inhation. we have copied from the experience of others. There is not one thing in the bill but what has been tried out by others If the federal board is made up of the right men. of men who have courage and can say No when they should say No and are not weak kneed, there will be no infation. If men on the board have no baC1o0ne and can be influenced by those who
Norwich bulletin., 1913-12-30

have schemes. believe that fears that there would be imitation would be well grounded. I do not believe, though, that the board will be without cour- age.
 Want to Keep Politics Out.
 What ambition has President Will son other than to make good before the country? We democrats want to keep politics out of this reserve board The democratic senators got together and decided they would not recommend single man for the board. That is what we are trying to do to keep poll tics out of the board"
 The dinner of the Economic club was attended by bankers from all parts of the state by special invitation extend ed through the Connecticut Bankers association. Governor Baldwin well comed the two senators and President Wilson H. Lee of the club presided.
 Governor Baldwin said
 Governor BaIdwin's Speech.
 This bill means a great deal to New England. Her banks henceforth are to be governed, in some things, by an authority out of New England, into the very constitution of which they will be most of then1-soon Incorporated. Her currency is to be varied in volume from time to time by @ national au- thority working from Washington.
 50 far as I can see, the new banking bin is, for one thing, a pretty good prescription against panics. We arc no longer to be driven to look to some Wall street Colossus to volunteer to pply the funds to tide over period of stress; or to a secretary of the treasury to exercise an absolute and iInplense power towards the same end A board Of public officials, not one, will be looked to for the necessary ac- ton. Who will they be? There is the crucial point. I have faith to believe that good men will be appointed on the federal reserve board, wise, inde- pendent, firm"

Commissioner Quezon Says They Are
 Pleased with Wilson's Policy.

Washington, Dec 29.-Manuel L. Quezon, resident commissioner from the Philippines in congress. returned today from Manila with the declaration that since the announcement of Pres ident Wilson's Philippine policy the FiIipinos are more friendly towards the Americans than they ever were and that they now look to the United States government as well as to it's repre- sentatiyes in the Philippines as their real benefactors. Mir. Queson went to the Philippines with General Harrison.
 The policy of President Wilson, as outlined in his message delivered to the Filipino people by Governor General Harrison has met with the enthusiastic approval of the people of the islands and especially the step giving the na- lives control of both branches of the Philippine legislature. No wholesale removal nor any political appointment of American officials has been made.
