Review of Work of Sixty-third
Congress.

Review of Work of Sixty-third
Congress.
Washington, March S. The Six
ty-third congress, first under COM
plete domination of the democratic
party since 1895, ended yesterday
at noon.
1t had been in almost continuous
session since President Wilson's in
ansuration two wears ago Begin
ming with an extra session, called
by the president April 7, 1918, the
congress has worked actually
637 days.
Much important legislation was
accomplished, but much contem-
plated some of it hard pressed by
the president and party leaders,
was left undone 1t is the present
intention of the president and his
advisers to give congress a rest
Rather than force an extra, they
would leave the remainder of the
administrations constructive as
piratiOns to a new congress next
winter, which although under dem
ocratic control, will have a greatly
reduced majority in the house.
Foremost in the enactments of
the Sixty-third congress were:
The Underwood-Simm tariff
act, with the income tax, which
replaced the Payne-Aldrich tariff
aW.
The federal reserve act, reorgan.
izlDe the currency system.
Antitrust laws to supplement the
Sherman act, including the Clayton
law and federal trade commission
act, the former providing for pun
ishment of individuals who violate
business regulations and the latter
establishing a government institu-
ton to aid in keeping business
within the law.
Repeal of the Panama canal tolls
exemption for American coast-wise
shipping.
Act directing the building at a
cost of $S5,000,000 of a government
railroad to the mineral fields of
Alaska.
Act to regulate cotton exchanges
and to penalize dealings in purely
speculative cotton future sales.
A special internal revenue tax,
commonly called the war tax"
A government war risk insurance
bureau to insure American ships
against the hazards of war, and an
act providing for the transfer of for
eign.owned or built ships to Amer
lean registry.
Those Measures That Failed.
OF those measures which failed of
enactment or could not be consider
ed for lack of time, the following
are regarded by democratic leaders
as paramount:
Bill for government purchase or
charter Of trans-oceanic ships for
the establishment of an American

the history of the senate, created
an insurgent movement in the dem.
ocratic ranks and held up general
legislation for weeks of the last
session.
The immigration bill, including a
literacy test for admission of aliens,
which passed both houses. was We.
toed by President Wilson and failed
by narrow MARCIA to repass the
house on a motion to overturn the
veto.
Conservation measures urged by
the president to provide a new sys-
TEN for leasing of water power sites
and leasing system to open the
mineral resources of the country
Bill to enlarge the measure of
Philippine self-government and to
extend promise of ultimate indie
pendence to Filipino people. a meas
ure which passed the house and
was approved by a senate COM
mittee
Regulations of the Interstate
Commerce Commission of the issue
of railroad securities, originally
part of the administrations anti
trust program.
Rural credits legislation contem
plating the establishment of sys-
TEN of farm mortgage loan banks,
persistently urged throughout the
congress
In addition to the FORGING, scores
of general legislative bills covering
wide range of subjects died with
the end of the congress, among
them, measures for federal road i'm
provement. general waterway de-
velopment, reorganization of the
civil service. to prohibit importa-
ton of convict made goods and
several measures for reorganization
of the army.
The last session of the congress
was notable. too, for the failure of
two great issues. national prohibi-
ton and woman suffrage. Proposed
constitutional amendments precipi-
tated two of the most exciting leg
islative battles in the history of the
house of representatives, both meas
ures failing to receive a Necessary
two thirds vote.
Foreign Relations Constantly to the
Front.
Foreign relations of the nation
were constantly to the fore al
most from the beginning of the
congress, the Mexican situation re-
quiring close attention from the
outset as has the European war.
Throughout the session the presi-
dent and the senate foreign rela-
tons committee were in frequent
conferences and much was done TO
restrain unusual demonstrations
which might have disturbed inter
national tranquility Early in the
session general arbitration treaties
with several great foreign powers
were renewed for five year periods
and 26 peace commission treaties
providing for investigation of inter.
national disputes before resort to
arms were negotiated and ratified.
A treaty to enforce the regulations
adopted by the London Safety at
Sea conference was ratified last
December. but with an amendment
making reservations which came
too late for other powers to consider
thus preventing enforcement of the
convention. A treaty with Nicara-
qua providing for requirement of
the Nicaraguan canal route and
naval stations for 60 900 600 ,nnn
