News from the National Capital 



Porestry Program Referendum Urged 



The National Fdrestry Program Cuininittee has asked the United 

 States Chamber of Commerce to take a referendum of its mem 

 ber.s for the endorsement of tlie proposed legislation for a national 

 forest poli('3', which includes better fire protection for the forests. 



"This is legislation of the utmost importance to the business 

 interests of the country," said H. S. Kellogg of the American Paper 

 and Pulp Association, who was made chairman of the committee. 

 ■'The proposed referendum will put the questions before the busi- 

 ness men of the country and before the public at large. We have 

 already discussed plans for taking the legislation before Congress 

 and these plans will be concluded at the next meeting of the com 

 mittee. ' ' 



At the meeting were Hugli R. Baker and R. S. Kellogg of New 

 York City, representing the American Paper and Pulp Association ; 

 R. S. Williams of Philadelphia, for the National Wholesale Lumber 

 Dealers' Association; Philip W. Ayres of Boston, for the Society 

 for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests; John Foley of Phila- 

 delphia, for the Association of Wood Using Industries; P. S. Ris- 

 dale of Washington, for the American Forestry Association; E. W. 

 McCuUough of Washington, for the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, 

 and E. A. Sherman of the Forest Service. 



The proposed legislation has been endorsed by the American For- 

 estry Association, National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, 

 Western Forestry and Conservation Association, National Whole- 

 sale Lumber Dealers' Association, T^. S. Forest Service and other 

 interested organizations. 



Financial Conferences On 



l'(illowing tlie departure of I'resident-elect Hariliug, eonferencc!- 

 ;ire in progress at the capitol between the party leaders of the 

 Senate and House in regard to the financial situation of the country. 



Little hope was expressed of any internal revenue tax revision 

 at this session of Congress, despite the recommendations contained 

 in the message of President Wilson and the annual report of Sec- 

 retary of the Treasury HouJiton, which was sent to the capitol as 

 the administration 's fiscal program. 



Questions affecting American finances have been made a funda- 

 mental of Republican policy. They will go over until the extra 

 session next year, to be passed upon by the new Republican Con- 

 press and the Rejinblican President. 



Congress' Accomplishments 



The Senate during tlie second week of the present session vir- 

 tually "took off its coat" and rolled up a record of legislative 

 achievement that has rarely been equalled so early in a session of 

 Congress. It has put through the Oronna joint resolution provid 

 ing for the reestablishment of the War Finance Corporation as a 

 measure of assistance to farmers who desire to increase their 

 export trade. 



It also passed the Capper-Hermans bill, exempting cooperative 

 marketing organizations of farmers from the operations of the 

 Sherman anti-trust law. 



Tlie most astonishing performance of the Senate was the passage 

 of the bill introduced by Senator Poindexter of Washington to 

 prevent strikes on interstate railroads. Without debate, this meas-
