Democratic leaders plan to use committee assignments as leverage to push tariff revision and discipline dissent in the North and West. Oscar W. Underwood dominates the Ways and Means plans, shaping both tariff bills and committee rosters to maintain party unity for the new administration. The caucus may ratify tariff bills early in the special session, with riders on sundry civil and trust regulation likely deferred to next winter.

Democrats Must Thank Us for Well Filled Treasury
Rep Serena E Payne of New York says no administration inherited a fuller Treasury or greater revenues than the present. She cites a March 3 1913 Treasury balance of 149335711.78 with a working balance estimate of 50 to 75 million and a projected year end surplus near 60 million if postal revenue surpluses are realized. She argues current revenue laws will persist and warns against reckless appropriations endangering the Treasury while contrasting with Taft era prosperity.
