It had been in almost continuous ses sion since President Wilson's inaugura tion two years ago. Beginning with an extra session called by the President April 7, 1913, the Congress thas worked actually GJ 7 days. Much important legislation was ac complished, but much contemplated, some of it hard pressed by. the Presi dent and party leaders, was left undone. It is the present intention of the Pres ident and his advisees to give Congress a rest. Kather than force au extra session, they would leave the remainder of the administration's constructive as pirations to a new Congress next win ter, wttiich, although under Democratic control, will have a greatly reduced ma jority in the House. Foremost in the enactments of the Sixty-third Congress were: The Underwxjod-Simmons tariiKact, with tho income tax, which reiplacecKthe Pavne-Aldrich tariff law. The Federal reserve act, reorganiz ing the currency system. Anti-trust laws to supplement the Sherman act, including the Clayton law aud Federal Trade Commission act, the former providing for punishment of in dividuals who violate business regula tions and the latter establishing a gov ernment institution to aid in keeping business within the 'aw. Kepeal of the Panama canal tolls exemption for American coastwise sliip ping. Act directing the bu'-lding at a cost of $35,000,000 of a government rail road to the mineral fields of Alaska. Act to regulat * cotton exchanges and to penalize dealings in purely specula tive cotton future sales. A special internal revenue tax, com monly called the "war tax." A government war risk insurance bu reau to insure American ships against the hazards of war, and an act provid ing for t-l.e transfer of foreign-owned or built ships to American registry. Of those measures which failed of enactment or could not be considered for lack of lime, the following arc re garded by Democratic leaders as para mount: Bill for government purchase of charter of transoceanic ships for the es tablishment of an American merchant marine, which encountered the most stubborn filibuster ..i t.he history of the Beuate, created an insurgent movement in the Democratic ranks and held up general legislation for weeks of the last session. The immigration bill, including a lit eracy test for admission of aliens, which passe 1 both houses, was vetoed by President Wilson and failed by a narrow margin to repass the House on a motion to overturn the veto. Conservation measures urged by the President to j rovide n new system for leasing of water power sites and a leasing system to open the mineral re sources of the country. Bill to enlarge the measure of Phil ippine self-government and to extend promise 'if ultimate independence to Filipino people, a measure which passed the House and was approved by a Senate comniitte. Regulation by the Interstate Com merce t/omni!!iion >( the issue of rail -1 road securities, originally a part of the administration 's anti-trust program. Rural credits legislation contemplat ing the establishment of a system of : farm mortgage loan banks, persistently i urged throughout the Congress, j In addition to the foregoing, scores of general legislative bills covering a wide range of subjects died with tlie end of the' Congress, among them measures for Federal road improvement, I general waterway development, reor ' ganization of the civil service, to pro | hibit importation of eonvict-made SALTS FINE FOR ACHING KIDNEYS i , ■ We Eat Too Much Meat, Which Clogs Kidneys, Then Back Hurts and Bladder Bothers Yon Most folks forget that the kidneys, j like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged : and need a flushing occasionally, else i we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, aeid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
