THE SPECIAL SESSION.

When the present administration took hold of the reins of government there vas a demand for the institution of a humber Of reforms that called for new legislation. Almost within a month there was called together a special ses- sion of the new congress and it was set Co work to remedy the conditions. For the past seven months they have been laboring with the vast amount of leg islation. some of which was enacted quickly and some of which was long drawn out. The special session has been busy one and while 1t has developed peculiarities it has nevertheless felt the spur of Dublio demand
 Not until almost the last minute did [, complete the tax revision bill, one O, the most important matters of the session. It was legislation that involved vast amount of work and in it's com pleted form may not be regarded as ideal but it Is certainly an improvement over the old tax measures and means the relief to the country of over 1885, oo0,000 in taxes for the next calendar rear. of which something like s7O,000,- Oo0 win be directly removed from the taxes of heads of families while in the elimination of the excess profits tax, transportation tax, the luxury taxes and the various other taxes from that on non-aicoholic beverages to chewing gum. candy. toilet articles and thermos bot tles large number of the people are bound to experience relief. Features of the bin have been subjected to severe criticism but there is evidence that they Snow the effect of public clamor even though they may not be economically sound
 In other matters the session was much more speedy. It required little time to dispose of the Colombian treaty, the im- migration hili. the budget legislation, regulatory and credit bills and the peace resolution. Such matters as the lartf. the bill for hastening payment to Inc railroads and, the Panama canal tolls went over to the next session without detrimental effect.
 At the ending of the special session it k impossible to overlook the effective stsnd that was taken in behalf of econ- ony and reduced government expenses as one Of the needed steps for the cut ing of appropriations and therefore taxation
