Republican President. Many important pieces of legislation have been enacted within that time; investigations of a peculiar significance to the public have been coniucted; and many subjects of general interest have been laid aside without action. The tariff, attacked alike from Democratic and Republican sources twice during that period, has been the subject of attempted revision, but none of the proposed changes iecame effective. The 62nd Congress opened in 1911 with a special session called by Presdent Taft to consider Canadian re;iprocity; it ends with an extra session of the 63rd Congress only a few weeks away, to be called by President Wilson for a general revision of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. National inventions, the birth of a new party, i general election, and a complete :hange of administration have intervened between its beginning and its ;nd. Activities of the short session iow closing have been limited almost mtirely to a routine work, because >f the determination to leave to the lew administration all of the imlortant subjects of a general charicter. Perhaps the most important develipments of the entire Congress are he following: New Federal bureau of labor crested with Cabinet officer at its head. Physical valuation of the proper- * y of railroads and other common ^ arriers in order to form basis for ate making- v Canadian reciprocity law passed, v >ut rejected by Canada.

Investigation made of formation ind operation of the United States Steel Corporation. These comprise but a few of the aws passed, investigations conductid, treaties passced on, and legislate subjects considered during the wo years of the 62nd Congress. The wo great personal struggles, involvng William Lorimer and Judge Archmid, ran throughout the Congress; ind with their interesting personal >hases helped to draw attention from ;he actual legislative work of the wo years. While Congress passed an eightlour law covering all Government :ontracts except on the Panama Calal, it took no action on three imjortant subjects: anti-injunction, vorkmen's compensation, and antirust legislation. Recommendations vere made by a Senate committee vithin the last week, for fadical hanges in the anti-trust law to retore competitive conditions and premt monopoly; and they may bear ruit in legislation under {he new adninistration. The final session, now ending, has witnessed a struggle in the Senate etween Republicans and Democrats, hat prevented the confirmation of he greater part of President Taft's ppointments. With more than 2,000 .ppointments before the Senate, Jemocrats declined to permit action n the great majority, and the restm /ill be that President Wilson, wi\) ill the places after he comes into ffice.- ,, This factional struggle, coupled /ith the internal Democratic con~ est for the organization and control f Senate and House under the new < administration, injected the political quation into the last session's work o an unusual degree. Several bills hat might have become law in the losing days of this session have been eld back because Democratic leadrs preferred to have the subject arried over until a Democratic 'resident, Senate and House, can ave an opportnity to carry out defiite legislative programmes. Important actions in the short sesion just closing include: "Literacy test" immigration bill assed, but vetoed by President Tafv. Single six-year Presidential term mendment passed by senate. Life prisoners in Federal prisons iade eligible to parole. Five-year closed season for fur eals incorporated in the internation1 seal treaty. Federal control of water powers debated in the Senate.

Lincoln memorial authorized to ast $2,000,000. The Democratic majority that took ontroll of the House when the Conress organized insisted on going , head with other features of tariff evision and passed wool, cotton, free st and some other bills. All three > measures with the aid of the Prorpssive Republican forces in the enate reached President Taft. They 'ere vetoed on the ground that the ariff board was conducting invesigations, the results of which must e known before a proper revision of the tariff could be made. Legislative work throughout the pecial session, and the long session unning through last of August, inluded the following: Increase in the size of the House of Representatives, from 396 to 43& Age and service pension law inreasing civil war pensions. v Eight hour law covering Governlent contracts. .Admission of Arizona and New lexico to Statehood. .? 1.
