When Prealdent Tart ratunia from hia Maaas- chusetti summer, home, Monday, he will find lour Important- legislative measures on hia desk or in a fair way to reach htm within a day or two. TTinna are: The resolution providing: for the admis- slon of Ariiona and New MmIco and ner.

mittlna the people of Arizona to say whether the Constitution shall provide for tbe recall of Judaea. The bill providing for publicity of campaign contributions before elections and before primaries.

Before he left Waahlngton for hia weekend breathing; epell the President unofficially declared thai ha would veto, the statehood resolution.

This resolution -was sent to the White House last evening, and the text of It Is no doubt In the hands of the President today. The presumption Is that he will return to Washington with the veto message In his and will send It to congress on Monday. It Is by ho means certain that this resolution can be passed in spite of the veto. The house will t.e able to do this, and no doubt will do it, but unless the situation In the senate undergoes a change an effort to pass it there wilt fail. A rood many of the rearular Renubllran senators who supported the resolution originally "wui atand by the President veto.

May Try to Change It, So it would seem certain that unless congress at the last minute before 'adjournment puts through a new Joint reso lution denying- the territory of Arizona the right to put In her Constitution the recall provision, Jtatehoofl will tail again. No ddubt an effort will' be made to pass a resolution that will meet the President's approval. Botb political parties as represented In congress are taking it tor. granted that the President will sign the campaign publicity bill, if it reaches-him. It is barely possible that the leg-lelators may dodare a vote on tb.e conference report on this bill.

The conferee, have agreed on substantially the same bill, but In congress and In the aenatfl in particular are av good many men who do not want to sea tffia learla- In inn snftrt'rl.

The probability is that his veto measag-e is already prepared, at least in tbe outline. It will not be poBclble to pass this bill over his Teto, Here again th house may be able to override the veto, but the InsurirenU and IiTiocia.ta In tbe aenate caui not com-mand the necessary, two-thirds vote. The President has ptenci patiently and with open mind to I the argruments that have bera presented to hlna during- tbe last two or weeki with respect to a vtto or this Mil.

Adjournment Time Uncertain. The point la being-' made that he can hardly base a veto of this legislation on the tariff board argument inasmuch as he did not make use of the tariff board in arriving at the reciprocity agreement with Canada. However, tbe outlook is that he will veto thia bill on the general ground that it will be wise to wait on the tariff board before enacting any additional tariff learlslatlon. if the revision bill were out of the way congress could fix a day tor ad- JonrnmenL If the insurgent Republican senators, under the leadership of Senator I -a Kolleite. insist on a vote in the senate on this bill, and adhere to their determination to attach to the bin legislation re- vlslng the metal schedule, the sugar schedule and perhaps other schedules, adjournment may be delayed toward the end of tbe mooib.
