SPECIAL SESSION OF
CONGRESS POSSIBLE
President May Assemble Members on
oct. Much Work
Faces Body.
BY Victor Elliott.


WASH ~ June IA survey
of the important legislation scheduled
for consideration at the next session
of congress, together with a growing
treasury deficit may cause the presi-
dent to call congress in extra session
about Oct. l. Within the past few
weeks the extra session idea has been
growing here, although in March and
April the prospect of such an event
seemed remote.
Here is "a part Of the work cut out
for the next congress, whether il shall
convene in October or December:
The administrations conservation
program awaits enactment into law.
The president is intent upon put
ting through she Philippine independ-
enCe bill.
The agitation for rural credits legis-
lation is on anew and this subject
probably must be considered.
There is TO be a big fight over the
increase of the army and navy.
A treasury deficit must be met,
either by bond issue or supplementary
revenue legislation.
The emergency war revenue" bill,
enacted last session, expires with the
beginning of the new year. The con-
tinuatiOn of the war makes "a re-
enactment of this bill almost impera-
tive and il cannot be done without a
fight

is still the pet project of the admin

VIII BE Long Session.
With this program ahead of it. con-
gress Will need a session extending
over seven or eight months. 1t must
be taken into consideration also that
"A annual appropriation bills are TO
be passed and there viii be many days
devoted TO special and private legisla-
tiOn and discussion of international
If congress does not reassemble
until December. it cannot finish its
work before late in the summer of
1916. Meanwhile. the presidential
campaign Will be under way and the
national conventions of June viii IN
terfere with the course of legislation.
Another complicating circumstance
Will be the desire of practically every
member of the senate and house or
representatives To go home and par
ticipate either in his own or the pTeSl-
Dental campaign
For these reasons it is not improb-
able that the president finally viii de-

that an extra session should be called

enues that there must be emergency

The president has given no indica-
ton Of his views concerning an extra
session. but il is known that at in
tervals the subject recurs 10 him and
Washington would not be surprised TO
see an extra session call issued late
this summer.
