Congress to Get Recess Very Soon
President Wilson approves a plan for a brief congressional recess while the war revenue bill is drafted by the Ways and Means Committee. The recess could start late this month or in July and run into August, with prior appropriations and small items settled first. Senators Martin Simmons and Representative Kitchin endorsed the idea, aiming for a recess before July 4 if possible, and August for final revenue bill work after hearings wrap next week. A Nevada Senate committee also reports favorably a measure to suspend annual mining property assessments during the war.
