RESUME OF THE
IN IASI SESSION
(Continued from I’age 2)
world were authorized. On the new
dreadnaughts, monster 16-inch guns,
the most powerful naval cannon, will
be mounted.
Though U. S. coast defenses were
reported by all experts as the best in
the world, the appropriation was
quadrupled—from $6,000,000 to $25,
000,000. duns larger than Germany’s
famed 42 centimeter Black Berthas
will be mounted at N’ew York and
Cape Henry, the latter of which
guards Washington and Baltimore. i
For three-fourths of a million dol
lars Congress contracted wi"> John
Hays Hammond, Jr., for his invention,
by which, it is claimed, the course of a
torpedo can be controlled by radio.
Drawing lessons from the Kuropean
war, congress laid special stress on
field artillery; kept many U. S. army
officers as observers in foreign trench
es; appropriated $1.'1,000,000 for aero
nautics, and laid in a supply of armed
cars and motor trucks.
Government ownership advocates
pushed through two projects; a $20,
000,000 plant for the manufacture of,
nitrates for explosives and fertilizer,
and a $11,000,000 government armqr
plate plant. The nitrate plant is de
signed to extract nitrogen from the
air by hydro-electric power. Chilean
nitrate beds have been the United
States’ sole commercial source of sup
ply.
I Naval officers are to be promoted,
in grades above commander, by exam
ination and selection rather than
length of service. U. S. navy yards
t are equipped to build battleships. En- \
I listed men in both army and navy are !
to be given increased help and oppor- :
tunity to rise to commissioned officer- i
ships. For those who wish but one I
enlistment, trade schools are to be es-1
tablished with officers and specialists!
as teachers.
Both Annapolis and West Point !
were enlarged, and the number of ca- 1
dets to be appointed each year in
creased by over 50 per cent.
The need for heavy revenues was
seen early. Sugar was stricken from
the free list. The supreme court hav
ing validated the income tax, the
heaviest burdens in the general reve
nue bill were laid on incomes, muni
tions and inheritances. An unsuccess
ful fight was made to make public in
come tax returns, to prevent alleged
extensive “dodging.”
5 At President Wilson’s instance, a
5 tariff commission was created; a pro
jj tective tariff on dye-stuffs levied; and
j a law passed to prevent traders of
| foreign nations from selling products
* in this country more cheaply than
5 they did at home.
jj Just after the democratic caucus
jj had agreed to lay the national child
jj labor act over until next December,
a President Wilson paid the capitol an
3 unannounced visit and declared he had
jj no intention of beginning his cam
j paign until the measure was passed—
s it having been a part of the party
3 platform. The caucus hastily revers
< ed itself, and the bill was passed by
3 a by-partisan vote.
5 Filipinos all but won their immedi
i ate independence. The senate approv
l ed a bill giving them their freedom in
four years at the most. But house
l democrats—mostly Tammany men—
] baited the party caucus and with re
i publican aid, defeated this. A meas
i ure was passed granting larger self
11 government in local affairs, and prom
■ | ising freedom when “a stable govern
;I ment shall have been established.”
! The Moss-Hollis rural, credits law,
! creating a system something similar
! i to the federal reserve, and guarantee
:; ing loans to actual farmers at not
! | more than five per cent was approved
i | by tremendous majorities. As high as
!: 36 years are given to repay loans.
I Though voting for it, republicans de
i dared the bill faultily drawn.
' The Shackleford good roads bill,
appropriating $85,000,000 for federal
aid to states which will contribute
equal amounts, became law. About
$6,000,000 will be spent next year and
j increasing amounts thereafter. This
federal aid to local communities was
i assailed as unconstitutional, but de
fended on the ground that it aided in
; the upkeep of post-roads. Auto orga
nizations backed it strongly.
Late in the session the uanisn gov
ernment's treaty' to sell its West In
dian islands came to the senate for
confirmation. Though $25,000,000 was
declared too high a price, the pur
chase was approved.
Almost emasculated of all govern
ment-ownership or operation features,
the shipping bill, creating a $50,000,
000 merchant marine, was passed.
Conservatives assailed it as an un
warranted invasion of private busi
ness; progressives as nothing but a
sham and an appropriation. The ad-1
ministration backed it for alleged use
fulness in war-time and in building .
trade routes.
Against bitter opposition, progress-;
ive senators forced the printing of
the complete industrial relations com
mission's report, and a forestry serv
ice diagram, and a report alleging thp
existence of a huge water-power j
trust.
A last-minute fight by Senator Reed
prevented the printing of the Bethle-'
hem Steel company’s attack on the
proposed government armor plant, as i
a public document, subject to a mail
frank.
National parks were organized un
der one head; a plea for clemency for
Irish political prisoners made; rail
roads made strictly responsible for |
bills of lading; a ‘‘vocational educa
tion” system established in conjunc
tion with agricultural colleges. Con-1
gress incorporated the American acad
emy of arts and letters, with Theodore
j Roosevelt, President Wilson, Nicholas
J Murray Butler, Senator Lodge, and
I many others as charter members;
made it possible for a person to de
posit $2,000 in a postal savings ac
i count; and created an army and navy
> medal roll for soldiers over (>■“> who i
have been von recognition for “f.d
i lantry” and intrepidity out: hie the
line of duty” v\ith $10*a i. oruh extra
pension.
After a lone: fight I.oui I). I’ ancle is j
was confirmed as a mo." her of the su
: prome court John H. Clarke, a Tom ;
Johnson Oilio radical, took his place |
in the court without a row.
Senatorial courtesy was upheld to ;
an extent hitherto unknown when
Federal Trade Commissione Kubleo
was refused confirmation because of
the objection of Sen. Gallinger. Moth i
are from New Hampshire. A rule al- i
ways has obtained that no man shall !
be appointed to federal office within a i
state, regardless of qualifications, if, [
he be “personally obnoxious” to a sen- I
ator from that state. For Gallinger \
the senate extended the rule so it ap- ;
plied to a national office. Gallinger £
said Rubles attacked him unfairly in !
politics. j e
Suffragists and prohibitionists both i
were unsuccesful. House judiciary ’
committee members agreed not to em- j
barrass each other by forcing a floor
vote on either measure. Despite stren- j
uous efforts, especially by suffragists, l
this decision was not changed.
Senators Kenyon and Husting l
fought determinedly the $42,000,000 ;
river and harbor hill, an alleged “pork
I barrel” bill. They lost by only one
vote, on one test roll call in efforts to
lessen it; had they obtained the tie,
vice-president Marshall was all loaded
to vote against the hill.
LaFollette made a spectacular fight
against “secret diplomacy,” which he 2
, said was one of the main causes of the ,
European war. He proposed the con-12
sideration of all treaties in public; a ■
national popular vote before congress £
could declare war; and advocated a £
provision forbidding the use of the ar- £
my or navy to collect debts due pri- £
vate American investors, bankers or £
bond-holders in foreign countrie.-.
He never got more than ten votes £
in favor of any one of these measures. £
On conservation measures the house •
and senate early reached a deadlock. £
In a general way the house was more £
radically conservationist than the sen- l
ate. As a result, no bill on that sub- *
ject passed.
] Senator Gallinger and Representa- ■
tive Humphreys of Washington at- S
tempted to repeal the principal sec- 5
jtions of the Lafollette seaman’s act. S
|The.v met wtih too determined resist-: 1
ance.
; California operators tried to obtain J
| sites within the United States naval 11
reserves but the opposition of Secre- e
tary Daniels defeated them.
The proposed Colombian treaty, j
which would have paid that country 6
$25,000,000 for the United States’ al- S
jleged aid of the revolution by which 2
Panama became independent, died in's
'the lo'fcign relations committ .e.
