-With the passing
W of an emergency currency meas-
ure and a few remaining appropria-
tion bills, the first session of the Six-
tieth congress has passed Into his-
tory.
What Speaker Cannon calls “the
mill" was well nigh choked with
would-be legislation that was
crammed into the hopper during the
session. There have been bills of all
varieties, shades and sixes. Bills for
the regulation of nearly everything
, under the aun have been introduced.
Notwithstanding the ’diminishing rev-
enues and the warnings that the treas-
ury was facing an almost certain def-
icit there was no abatement of the
clamor for appropriations. If all the
appropriations asked for had been
granted the government debt would
be multiplied tenfold, “if we had put-
through one-third of the bills that
were offered us,” "aid a prominent
member of vse house, "more than a
century would be required to straight-

29,216.
The house members introduced 22,035
and the senators 7,180. A great many
of these measures were private pen-
sion bills, only a small percentage of
which finally became lava. During the
first session of the Fifty-ninth oon-
greas, which continued fire weeks
longer than the recent session, 9,518
bills were Introduced in the house and
8,666 in the sepate.

ty-four treaties were ratified and made
public, most of them arbitration

will disclose that fewer speeches were
made than In times gone by owing to
the fact that John Sharp Williams In-
augurated a filibuster several months
ago. Instead of speeches the record la
filled with roll calls. About 45 min
