House Dominated
by the President

The White House domination OF the
House of Representatives. with its top
heavy Democratic majority Of more
than 40, was first shown in the
extraordinary session. called April T.,
1918. to consider tariff legislation. The
President practically wrote into the
tariff bill the free sugar and free wool
provisions, nd only his inhuenc- put
these provisions through.
President Wilson was also frequently
consulted ia he preparation of the
Glass currency bill, the antitrust pro-
gramme. the Federal Trade Commits
sion bill and the railway securities
bill. The securities measure, giving
the Interstate Commerce Commission
supervision over stock issues Of COM
mon carriers, passed the House, but
was not reached in the Senate.
The Jones bill granting qualified in
dependence to the Filipinos was also
prepared under guidance of the Presi-
dent. II pa. sed the House, only TO be
sidetracked in the Senate. The con-
servation programme also failed TO
reach in the Senate.
Three spectacular legislative battles
were fought in the House in the ses-
sion lust ending. One was over the
Mondell resolution TO submit 10 the
states a constitutional amendment for
woman suffrage. This failed of the re-
CURED two-;lirds majority. The Hob
son prohibition resolution brought an
other bitter struggle, and It's. too.
failed 10 muster two-thirds majority.
A third contest came recently over the
Presidents veto of the Burnett immi-
grafton bill. The House tried to over
ride the veto and failed by only five
votes.
President Wilson faced serious in
surgency for a time over the emer-
gency war tax bill. House Democrats
fearing political effects OF additional
taxation. The Ways and Means Com
mittee approved bill 10 raise the bulk
of the revenue neede~ by taxing freight
shipments. This was overridden By
the President. and the committee
brought in bill borrowed largely from
the Spanish stamp tax law OF 1885.
