UNDONE Pile Of
IMPORTANT WORK
CONTINUED from page one.


ployment for returning soldies; repeal
Of luxury taxes; prohibition enforce
ment; unemployment; army and navy
policies.
The next Congress must decide what
the governments policy will be with
respect to the government controlled
railroads, telephones, telegraphs, cable
and radio companies. With govern
ment ownership and anti-governmenI
ownership advocates equally emphatic
about what ought 10 be done, nothing
was done at the Goth Congress eXccp;
the gathering OF a large amount OF val
liable testimony ON the railroad ques-
tion. This is expected 10 provide a
basis for action next session. These
are the most important Of the problems
Congress passed TO the next one. It's
up 10 President Wilson when the Goth
Congress meets. Unless he thinks the
situation demands It he does not have
TO call an extra session. The next reg
ular session begins next December. II
the President should decide that things
can run along until then without Con
grcss, nobody can make him call IL.
For this reason some Republicans
are advocating a change in tho constl-
tuition providing that a newly elected
Congress shall begin 10 function at
once after its election.
