Bation’s Lawmakers Close Their Labors Review Of The Session
Washington reports that despite factional delays in both parties the Democratic minority aided in enacting a wide range of reform measures. Key admin backed laws included railroad revision and a court, admission of Arizona and New Mexico as states, postal savings banks, public land withdrawals for conservation, campaign contribution disclosure, and a $29 million bond issue for reclamation projects. Some administration backed proposals failed, including ship subsidy and Alaska canal zone ideas. The Speaker lost a Rules Committee seat amid procedural shifts. Since this Congress began over 27,000 bills and 9,000 Senate measures have been introduced, a record perhaps unmatched.
