Moreover, an agreement on the legislative program has been reached, at least tentatively, The wonderful series of amendments to the Sherman anti-trust bill is to be allowed to die in committee. And the anti-injunciion bill will not be passed. There is, however, to be an effort to put through the famous Aldrich financial bill (which the country generally condemns) with amendments which make it practically unrecognizable. Even as amended it will not be satisfactory to the country. We should say that its passage is on the whole improbable. However, the measure is to be forced through if there is power enough to do it. It is proposed also to make an appropriation for a sitting of the ways and means committee during the recess for the purpose of “studying" the tariff with a view to early revision. A child labor bill applicable to the territories and the District of Columbia is proposed, the Beveridge bill apparently having been abandoned. Finally there is a possibility that a law way be enacted enabling government employes to sue the government on account of injuries incurred in the line of service. And this is all. Yet one other bill ought to be passed, and that is the one —which has, we are sorry to say, fared badly—providing for publicity of campaign contributions, and forbidding corporations to pay money to party committees. After the scandalous revelations concerning the contributions made, to the Roosevelt campaign fund by the great insurance companies of New York we should have thought that a bill designed to end this outrage would commend itself to all honest men. But that has apparently been forgotten. “Indianapolis News.
