which is expected to keep up until members feel the breathless September heat. The emergency tariff measure, substantially as it passed Congress at the last session and failed through presidential veto, will have the right of way in the Senate now, with the expectation that headway will be made this week toward putting it through, the most optimistic legislators believ- ing that there will be favorable vote before the week is over, others fully counting upon a longer wrangle in committee, particularly over the anti dumping and valuation clauses.
 Solemn n-eyed serious minded follow CTS of legislation look forward to the 1 spell of tariff and possibly also taxa tion, as if they were the prime inter ests of the country.

 Senator Kenyon. holding hearings on his bill for the creation of a new well fare department. expects to follow General Sawyer with other importan. witnesses. The discussion so far shows keen interest in the subject, and many of those who are studying the legis- lation confess open mindedness and a determination to be deliberate in their judgment because of the obvious elementary arguments for and against the organization of any additional de- partment of the government.
 Someone at the hearing the other day enlivened the by-play by comment ing upon the similarity between Gen eral Sawyer and General Dawes. Curi- ously enough. General Dawes has be- come a popular subject for comparison around the capitol.

 PENR0SE AT THROTTLE
 Senator Penrose still is holding up the date for beginning the hearings on a general taxation bill, although the announcement is expected within a short time. No less than several months will be required to cover the subject once begun. Experts from the treasury department will be brought before the committee to testify regarding the money needed to run the government and the committee will be the target for an avalanche of taxation problems and dissatisfaction that has filtered in here from all parts of the country
 Hearings will start where the silent power of Senator Penrose Is thrown in that direction and not sooner. Two forceful personalities bear down upon the upper House-the powerful sub merged movements of the senator from Pennsylvania and the finesse and heavy oratory of th6 senator from Idaho, Borah. whose speech against the Colombian treaty this week was masterful.
