Despite the deadlocks in both wings of the national oapitol which marked the closing hours of the Fifty-seventh congress, leaving n wreckage of blasted hopes. dl«’ppoluted ambitious, strangled legislation and thwarted policies, it has to Its credit the passage of not a few measures of high importance to the country. Rarely has a congress had opportunities for more epoch making i. legislation than has fallen to the lot of the two sessions of the congress which has just passed into history. Of some of these opportunities it has taken advantage. The first session was more fruitful of constructive legislation than was the last Two of its acta at least may fairly he considered epochal. These were the authorization of an isthmian canal, which the American people had long demanded as necessary to the growing commerce. ‘ prestige and well being of the country, and the provision for a national system of Irrigation, which will make fertile and fruitful vast areas of arid and unproductive lands of the public domain in the west Aside from the regular appropriation bills the second session of the Fiftyseventh congrKs passed something over a hundred general acts, which were approved by the president, “good, bad or Indifferent” according to the viewpoint of the student of national legislation. ,In constructive legislation one of the most important acts of the second session was the creation of a department of commerce and labor, the need of which was generally recognised and the beneficial effects of which, under wise and judicious administration, npon the development of the country, will, it is freely admitted, be great though the appropriation providing for properly carrying on its work may be regarded as insufficient In connection with the department of commerce and labor was provided a bureau of corporations, which Is the first step of conferess to bring the great industrial combinations of the country under legal restraint While It establishes no code of procedure against trusts and fixes no penalties, it provides for giving publicity to the organization and operation of corporations nnd the gathering of information under which the department of Justice may act in cases of violation of existing or subsequently enacted laws. Another step in antitrust legislation was the passage of the Elkins rebate bilk designed to correct a recognized injustice practiced by carrying companies In making unfair discriminations in traffic rates. This Is thought to be useful legislation, but It touches but one phase of the trust evil. Still another stop in this direction was the bill providing for greater expedition under the Sherman antitrust act and the ap- : proprin ion of SoOO.OOO to the department of Justice for the prosecution of antitrust litigation. In the field of national defense the ■esaion dosed provided for the estabJisbmeuff of a national militia, which

a one f ents sii

mended, and the creation of a general ytaff of the army, which, military men insist, will greatly strengthen this arm of the nation's defense and make it more fit to meet any emergency that may arise. For the nary, provision was made for increasing the number of bluejackets, marines and naval cadets and the enlargement of the facilities of the Naval academy at Annapolis, and the building of five battleships, two training ships and one wooden brig was authorized. Affairs In the Philippines received no little consideration by this congress. A measure providing for the civil government of the archipelago was enacted at the first session, and- at the last was provided a currency system which Is expected to relieve the present difficulties and loss In exchange. Fro vision was also made for the relief of the Inhabitant! from the distress caused by war and pestilence, an appropriation

Senator Wakelee has introduced a bill the provisions of which are idem ! tlcal with the Roosevelt law in New York state In reference to tlie polling of voters by directors of corporations. Under the bill, which is an amend ment to the corporation art, several directors can turn their proxies ovet to another person to vote for them. There now exists a doubt among the lawyers of this state as to whether the New Jersey law permits this to be done. Senator Wakelee says the bill is not in the interests of corporations, but is purely a lawyers’ bilk Nearly all tbe other states have enacted a similar law.
