CONGRESS HELD
Iff FILIBUSTER
ELEVEN MONTHS BREAKS ALL
TIME RECORDS IN HISTORY
OF UNITED STATES
REVENUE ACT LAST BUSINESS
Acts Completed Are of Far Reaching
Importance; List of New
Laws That Were
Passed.
Washington.—It appears that unless
an agreement can be reached for a
recess until after the November elec-
tions, congress will stay in session
indefinitely without a quorum of
either house in Washington.
Filibustering of southern democrats,
who are fighting for legislation to re-
lieve financial stress in the cotton
states, upset carefully laid plans for
adjournment of congress. Let by Sen-
ator Hoke Smith of Georgia, the cot-
ton belt members, at the last mo-
ment, prevented action in the senate
on a joint resolution to adjourn sine
die, already passed by the house.
The collapse of the adjournment
program came after every hope for its
success had been held out and su-
preme efforts had been made to ac-
complish the conclusion of the ses-
sion, after adoption in both houses of
the conference report on the war rev-
enue bill.
Begun as an uninterrupted continua-
tion of the special session called by
President Wilson a month after his
inauguration, it is the longest sitting
of congress in the history of the na-
tion.
The work, including that of the spe-
cial session for tariff reform and in-
come tax provisions, represents the
legislative achievement of the first
democratic congress since March, 4,
1895. The chief enactments include
the new currency law, anti-tri^t legis-
lation, repeal of the toll exemption
provision for American coastwise
ships in the Panama canal, the pro-
vision to build a government railroad
In Alaska, and the war revenue bill.
War Revenue Bill Passed.
The last act of the session was the
passage of the war revenue bill by
senate and house conferres, at a sacri-
fice of from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000
in revenue proposed to be derived. At
the last moment the conferees elim-
inated the proposed amendments to
the liquor taxes, rejecting the senate
amendments to increase the tax on
bear from $1.50 to $1.75 a barrel, and
to impose a tax of 5 cents a gallon
on rectified spirits. This action fixed
the estimated annual revenue at ap-
proximately $90,000,000 instead of
$105,000,000 as contemplated in the
senate bill.
Cotton Legislation Defeated,
Cotton legislation met defeat in the
house while the war revenue confer-
ence was in progress, the measure to
provide for $250,000,000 additional cur-
rency through the issuance of United
States notes or Panama canal bonds
being rejected by a vote of 123 to 91.
Lack of a quorum delayed action on
the proposal to issue circulating notes
based on commercial paper up to 125
per cent of unimpaired capital and
surplus and also on the measure to
license cotton warehouses.
The war revenue agreement fixed
the tax on beer at $1.50 a barrel with
the senate amendment for a 5 per
cent rebate for prompt payment elim-
inated. The senate amendment reduc-
ing the proposed tax on bank capital
and surplus from $2 to $1 a thousand
wras retained. The senate proposal to
tax domestic sweet and dry wines 8
cents a gallon with a tax of 55 cents
a gallon on brandies used in the forti-
fication of wines also was retained.
The senate amendment increasing the
tax on tobacco manufacturers and
dealers was agreed to with few ex-
ceptions and the stamp taxes were
not disturbed. Stock brokers will be
taxed $30 a year instead of $50. The
graduated tax on theaters also was
changed slightly, the final rates being
as follows:
Theaters Taxed.
Theaters with a seating capacity of
250 or less, will pay $25 a year; 500
capacity, $50; 800 capacity, $75; more
than 800 capacity, $100 a ye£$r.
The congress was remarkable for
the fact that in less than two year*
it had to deal with conditions arising
from two foreign wars—the revolution
in Mexico and the European conflict
—and was on the verge of facing a, urgeu for ratification but heid up in the
war between the United States' and ?«nat« ^
Mexlco. Both of these situations de- j ilar treaty has been negotiated with Rus-
manded emergency legislation, some s!a to be sent t0 the senate latcr-
of which may have far-reachine effect1 Much time was *lven by the committee

five occasions. He delivered his gen-
eral legislative message December 2.
Subsequently messages were on anti-
trust legislation, the Mexican situa-
tion, pleading for continuation oi
“watchful waiting,’’ the tolls repeal
bill and the necessity for a war rev-
enue MB.
Most Important of the laws enacted
by the congress since December 1,
1913, were:
Federal reserve act creating twelve re-
gional reserve banks and federal resere
board of control and reforming the cur-
rency system.
Federal trade commission act creating
a commission of five members and ab-
sorbing the bureau of corporations to In-
vestigate organization, conduct and prac-
tices of industrial corporations; inquire
into unfair competition and alleged vio-
lation of anti-trust acts; to aid the de-
partment of justice and the courts in the
prosecution of business offenders; to make
public Information deemed to be of pub-
lic interest relating to industrial condi-
tions and to recommend remedial busi-
ness legislation.
The Clayton anti-trust act which pro-
vides for guilt of individuals connected
with corporations convicted of violating
the anti-trust laws, limits interlocking di-
rectorates, prohibits holding companies
which will lessen competition, prevents
exclusive and tying contracts, liberalizes
laws relating to Injunction and contempt
and exempts from prosectition under anti-
trust laws agricultural, hortlculural, fra-
ternal and labor organizations.
Act repealing provisions of the Panama
canal law exempting from payment of
tolls American vessels engaged in coast-
wise shipping of the United States.
The Alaska railroad law providing for
government construction and operation of
1,000 miles of railroad with telegraph and
telephone lines, from the lower Pacific
coast to interior waters and mineral re-
gion of Alaska at a cost not to exceed
$35,000,000,
Laws placing on a war footing the vol-
unteer militia and naval militia of the
states subjecting them in time of war to
the call of the signal corps of the army.
Law regulating cotton future sales on
stock exchanges, providing for a tax of
two cents a pound on sales for future de-
livery unless actually delivered under con-
ditions and grades established by the de-
partment of agriculture.
Emergency Measures.
Overshadowing much other important
legislation were emergency measures de-
manded by the extraordinary conditions
precipitated by the war in Europe. Such
legislation, enacted or about to become
law Included the following measures:
War revenue law imposing special In-
ternal revenue taxes to aggregate approx-
imate annual revenue of $108,000,000 to off-
st estimated treasury deficit due to loss of
customs receipts during the European
war.
Amendment to Panama canal act ad-
mitting to American registry foreign built
ships of American ownership to engage in
overseas and South American trade.
Emergency currency act permitting
banks of national currency associations
to issue circulating notes up to 125 per
cent of their unimpaired capital and sur-
plus and making available to banks of
the country more than $1,000,000,000 of
emergency currency.
Law creating in the treasury depart-
ment a bureau of war risk Insurance,
appropriating $5,000,000 to insure ships of
American registry against hazards of the
European war.
Resolutions appropriating $2,750,000 for
protection and transportation of Ameri-
can citizens stranded in European war
zones and authorizing the American Red
Cross society to charter a ship of foreign
register and fly the American flag.
Appropriation of $1,000,000 for extra ex-
pense of diplomatic and consular service
in taking over embassies, legations and
consular offices of warring nations in
Europe.
Mexican Problem Solved
Before these unforseen conditions which
demanded decisive action to cope with
the European situation, congress had on
its hands for most of the .session the
threatening Mexican imbroglio which
came to a climax In the act of reprisal
by the government In the seizure of Vera
Crtfe. Many times the situation was criti-
cal, and actual warfare with Mexico was
prevented only by the course of the ad-
ministration and the coo! heads in con-
gress in preventing untoward oratorical
outbreaks and unwise action. Legislation
growing out of the Mexican controversy
was limited to the following;
Resolution expressing congress’ justi-
fication of employment by the president
of armed forces of the United States to
enforce demands for affronts and indig-
nities against this nation and disclaim-
ing any hostility to the Mexican people
or any purpose to make war on Mexico.
Appropriation of $500,000 for transport-
ation and care of Interned Mexican sol-
diers and military refugees and $500,000
for relief and transportation to the United
States of American citizens in Mexico.
Other legislation placed upon the state-
ute books included scores of local im-
provement laws, many measures relating
to land entries, and the following:
Act prohibiting importation of opium
except for medicinal purposes under
treasury regulation and placing prohibi-
tion tax of $300 a pound on opium manu-
factured in the United States for smok-
ing purposes.
Appropriation of $600,000 for treatment
and eradication of hog cholera and dour-
ine.
Agricultural Extension Act
Agricultural extension act providing
for co-operation between department of
agriculture and state agricultural col-
leges in diffusion of information relating
to agriculture and home economics and
providing for an ultimate annual appro-
priation of nearly $5,000,000.
Act providing for government leasing of
coal lands in Alaska and to prevent mon-
opolization of natural resources of the ter-
ritory.
Arbitration Treaties Approved
General arbitration treaties with twelve
foreign nations, upon recommendation of
this committee, were ratified by the sen-
ate, as follows: Great Britain, Japan,
Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Portugal,
Switzerland, Paraguay, Austria-Hungary,
the Netherlands, and Salvador.
Later in the session and in the midst
of the European conflict, the senate, up-
on recommendation of the foreign rela-
tions committee, ratified new treaties
providing for peace commissions of inves-
tigation of international disputes not set-
tled by ordinary diplomacy with twenty-
three foreign nations, as follows;
Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal,
Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua Boli-

DOUBLE TAXATION ON CATTLE
Stockmen Say They Were Assessed
In Doth Atoka County and Texas.
Oklahoma City/—The question of
whether taxes can be levied and col
lected in two different states for the
same fiscal year is presented in ap-
peals filed with the supreme court
by W. S. Thompson & Company, and
Pete Watson from a ruling of W. I.
Bond, county treasurer of Atoka coun-
ty.
In both cases the appellants trans-
ported cattle from Texas into Atoka
county, Oklahoma, where they have
been assessed as personal property,
It is claimed that before the cattle
were brought into Oklahoma taxes
on them were levied, assessed, and
collected in the state of Texas. The
cattle were brought into Oklahoma
prior to April 1, 1909, it is said, there-
fore it is contended they were not
subject to taxation for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1910, the year in
which the taxes were levied.
Approximately $1,000 In taxes are
involved in the case.
