Washington, Feb. 8.-Preparations

This has not been the case before in
twenty years. During that period of
long ago when the Democrats We're 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 10 large extent are men Of
comparatively recent rise to promi-
hence l'ecause 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 Il new generation OF egis-
lators has sprung up. With hut II 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 10y 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 II
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 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.
pletion 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 $1,000 annually Certain members
of congress hold that this sort of levy
would be confined to but compare
lively small proportion of the public

ficient They argue that an inheritance

In the conditions of our economic life

How Tariff Has Grown.
We have seen tariff legislation wan
der very far field in our day-very far
indeed from the field in which our
prosperity might have had a normal
growth and stimulation. No one who
looks the facts squarely in the face or
knows anything that lies beneath the
surface of action can fail to perceive
the principles upon which recent tariff
legislation has been based. We long
ago passed beyond the modest notion
of protecting" the industries of the
country and moved boldly forward to
the idea that they were entitled TO the
direct patronage of the government
For long time-a time so long that
the men now active in public policy
hardly remember the conditions that
preceded tive have sought in our
tariff schedules to give each group OF
manufacturers or producers what they
themselves thought that they needed
