wilson's Influence Potent.
President Wilson's influence is ex-
pected by Democratic leaders of both
houses to be a potent factor In the
shaping OF legislation throughout the
extra session. The President has
taken an active part in the prepare
tory work on the tariff bill. and viii
keep in close touch with the Senate
and House through the consideration
of the tariff, currency. or other sub
jects that may be taken uD during
the session. He has made 1t known
that ne may frequently upset prece-
dent by visiting the capitol and seek
ing personal conferences with, those
active in the conduct of legislative
affairs.
Important changes in the rules Of
the Senate will be brought forward
during the next few days. These
changes, as advocated by the new
Democratic leaders of the Senate and
approved by President Wilson, seek
to prevent any concentration of power
in the hands Of few senators, or of
committee chairInen. 1t is proposed
to make all chairmanships elective;
to give the members OF each commit
tee the right to call meetings with
out securing the consent Of the
chairman, and to authorize commit
tees to elect members of joint con-
ference committees.
Finance Committees Power.
The latter provision. If adopted,
will leave to the full Democratic
membership of the finance committee
the selection of the three or 1--WE SEN
ators who will confer with a similar
House committee in the settlement Of
tariff disputes, and the final compile
ton of the tariff bill.
The probable length OF the session
that begins today is uncertain. Ac-
tual work upon tariff revision prob
ably will begin tomorrow, with he
consideration of the Underwood bill
by the Democratic House members,
in caucus. Within a week it Is ex-
pected that the tariff debate will be
in full swing in the House. Senate
leaders do not expect Che completion
of tariff work before late in July.
Should currency reform also be taken

probably will remain at work until
