Principal Items Unless
Tariff Drags Out.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Unless the tariff bill drags into the
regular session, Speaker Longworth be-
lieves that, shorn Of most Of the major
subjects of perennial controversy, the
principal work Of Congress next Win
ter will be the annual supply bills.
Muscle Shoals alone remains of the
most controversial tasks that have
vexed former Cc.--7,---sses for many
years, although inland waterway legis-
lation and railroad problems also fall
to a relatively moderate extent into
the same category.
Both the Speaker and Representa-
tive Tilson Of Connecticut, the majority
leader, however, view the coming ses-
sion now as one which will have as It's
major task the work OF allotting some
$4,000, ,000, 900 to the departments and
other agencies of the Government to
carry on their work.
Farm Relief Transferred.
Farm relief has been transferred
from the legislative to the executive
field after more than a decade Of con-
troversy. Boulder Canyon has been
disposed of similarly. Reapportion-
ment Of the House membership is as
sured. The national origins basis for
determining the immigration quotas of
the different nations will be In effect
next Monday. Taxes have been re-
duced. Tariff revision may remain
for the regular session. but leaders
hope to have 1t out of the way before

The task of allotting more than
$4,000 900 900 to carry on the Govern
ment's work will fall largely to the
House appropriations committee Ex-
perts of that committee, the Treasury
Department and the Budget Bureau
will begin work on it during the Sum-
mer. Before the special session ends
the committee will be organized, and
a month before the regular session
begins. the various subcommittee will
open their hearings.
These will continue far into the regu-
lar session until at least IL appropria-
ton bills have been completed. Nine

The last Congress at its final session
appropriated $4,665, ,236, ,76S, all but
5000, 900 900 of which goes for the work
Of the Government during the fiscal
year of 1880. beginning Monday. The
last amount went to make up defiicien-
cies incurred during the fiscal year now
ending and for claims and judgments.
OF the total $1,376, ,67e, ,735 is a per-
manent, fixed appropriation that goes
to the departments regularly for speci-
ned purposes. The remainder goes in
varying sums, fiuctuating to meet the
changing needs.

at its first session. Altogether it ac-
counted for $e,2ss, ,292, ,906. the largest

the fact that he made no move to at
