C*!^A,. f jh fALia aeoaum ui mc oi-itja second congress attempted JL much, but . owing to people over whom it had no control the results fell short of the effort. The laws it actually passed were Canadian reciprocity, publicity of campaign expenses both before and after election, reapportionment of the house of representatives and statehood with the stinger of recall of judges extracted. The things it tried to pass, but was prevented, were three tariff bills, covering several schedules and parts of other schedules, all of which were vetoed; direct election of senators, which was hung up in conference committee and goes over to the regular session, and the reciprocity treaties with France and England, which were reported out of the foreign relations coihmittee of the senate with amendments, but were not acted on for lack of time. There were minor measures, but there were the most important. In add:lion there were a now in vestigatiou of the Lorimer case, a probe into the election of Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin, inquiries into the steel trust and sugar trust and examinations of the bureau of chemistry of the agricultural department in relation to the execution of the pure food laws, into Controller bay (Alaska) affair, into the expenditures of the state department and into the parcels post and postoffice departments The committees having these various inquiries in charge will presumably report to the regular session. At least none of them has reported yet. While the president called the session to meet solely for the purpose of passing the Canadian reciprocity bill, it was readily recognized at the outset that the legislation would not be confined to that one item. This assumption was confirmed on the open ing day of tlie session, when Speaker Clark laid before the house in a speech the Democratic program. The progress of legislation through both houses of congress during the session plainly indicates that by far the greater portion of the delays has been the fault of the senate.. The house acted with dispatch on its program and by sending much general legislation to the senate early in the session was able to take long recesses in May. June and July while the ways and means committee framed the tariff legislation. The table of legislation follows: Schedule of Legislation.

Signed by th. president Aug. 19. Of the important legislation or legislative action remaining the senate has not acted upon the arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France, which were reported to the senate on Aug. 12. The bone of contention in the bill for direct election of senators is the senate amendment placing senatorial elections under federal control. 'This is the same amendment which defeated it in the previous congress. The chief difficulty in the way of the arbitration treaties is the desire of the senate to retain its control jover what shall be arbitrated and to exempt certain matters from arbitration, such as the MoKfoe doctrine and the admission of AsiaffeS Into the United States. The reason for. the firs"f eefo of the - - "> i ii-iJ A I statenooa Dili, as aireaay iirumaie?i, was the recall of judges feature' ill the Arizona constitution. This was ?limij nated in the second bill. Waiting^For Tariff Board. The chief reasons assigned by President Taft for the veto of the tariff bills were that they were not scientifically and carefully drawn, that they were not in harmony with the protective principle and that the tariff board had not yet reported. He promised that before the next session the beard would report as to the wool schedule ' and that he would then recommend revision in accordance with such report. Trust investigations were begun during the session, and they are still in progress. Constructive legislation to bear on federal regulation of corporations is regarded as certain to come as a result of the inquiries, and pl2ns already have been instituted to revise the anti-trust laws. Special investigations into the United States Steel corporation and the American Sugar Refining company were undertaken to discover whether these industrial organizations operated in violation of the anti-trust and interstate commerce laws. The inquiries have been exhaustive and still are in progress, though the sugar committee, headed by Representative Hardwiok of Georgia, practically has concluded its work and will meet in the fall to draft its report. The Steel corporation inquiry developed many interesting facts, but the predominant feature of the inquiry was the emphatic public declarations of great financiers that the Sherman anti-trust law is too archaic to deal with modem business methods. They ! insisted that there must be new leg| islation to regulate the corporations ! of the country. !

Colonel Roosevelt vol| untarily appeared before the com- i I mittee in Xew York to defend bis | course in approving the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the Steel corporation during the financial panic of 1007. During the inquiry Judge Gary made the startling proposal that the government be given control of great corporations, even to the extent of regulating prices. His assertion that the Sherman lav/ was "archaic" was reiterated bv .other witnesses. George W. Terkins said constructive legislation was absolutely essential to the needs of the great corporations of the country. Publicity of corporation affairs was advocated strongly by him i as one means of eradicating existing trust evils and to retain the. great benefits of trust operation.
