The short session, according to the present outlook, can do little but enact appropriation bill for the coming fiscal year and Mr. Coolldge will leave no doubt of hi insistence on adherence to hi doctrine of gov-ernment frugality 1 drafting them. He will make certain recommendation concerning legislation, but. these will be confined to matter pending about which there la tin Hi-eat dlveraenoe of opinion among the struggling factions of the dying Congress.
