That Pension Order.

The Parker constitutional club Of
New York has issued a report in which
II is maintained that the executive
pension order of March II is uncOnsti-
tutiOnal The order thus challenged
directs that in the adjudication of pen
sion claims il shall be considered as an
evidential fact, if the contrary does
not appear and if all other legal re-
quirements are complied with, that
when claimant has passed the age
of siXty-twO years he is disabled one
half in ability to perform manual labor
and is entitled To he rated ut Sc a
month The ratings rise with other
age limitations until the applicant has
reached seventy. After that age he is
to receive So per month.
The report does not question the pro-
priety of pension laws of the country.
1t assails the executive pension order
of March II as an unconstitutional as
sumption of powers confided solely 10
congress. II urges that the order is TO
all intcntS and purposes an amend
ment To the pension laws, is in essence
executive legislation. Similar prOvi-
sion was made for the veterans of the
Mexican war in 1887 by IN act of con
greSS providing that every officer or
enlisted man participating in said war
| who Ind reached siXty-twO years of
| age or who was subject TO any dis
ability recognized by the pension laws
should be entitled to a pension. The
| age limit qualifying the veterans of
the Mexican war was thus established
| by legislation. a safe precedent, action
| which carefully preserved the distinc-
| tons between executive, legislative and
! judicial functions.
| Secretary Hitchcock in defending the
order declared that it merely lays down
| as Il convenient rule of decision and n
| rebuttal presumption of fact that one
| who is siNty-twO years of age is par
| tally disabled from earning a living
with his hands. In other words, the
effect of the order is to cast upon the
government the burden of proving that
the petitioner. if over sixty-two years
| Of age. Is not disabled. To the lay
mind not conversant with the niceties
of legal distinction the challenged or
der looks very much like an amend
ment To the pension laws whose effect
will be to pension all veterans who
have reached the designated age limit
|
guise Of a ruling on Il question of evil
dence to be submitted in support Of
pension claims.
Precedents are quoted for the justi-
| fcation of the order, but this is q poor
answer TO the charge that it is uncon-
stitutional. The safe and conservative
| course with respect to the age limit
order would have been to resolve all
doubts concerning its constitutional
| ity, 50 that the distinctions defining
executive, Legislative and judicial
powers would have been preserved
beyond question. The issue has now
entered into politics. Constitutional
questions are probably debatable in
the political arena. The Parker Con
| stitutional club is forcing an issue
whose discussion Will be educative
and helpful by bringing into clearer
! view the old landmarks of the con-
stitution. which cannot be obscured
! without national peril.

LONDON. June 1.-THE correspond

that the concession of the bandit Rails

ship of 500 miles of additional territory
would mean the bringing of the Euro

communication with Raissouli. whose
post as Governor, were the usual eti-

amicable exchange of visits with the
Ministers. This demand. says the cor
respondent, has not yet become. publicly

Provision for Ballot Is EX-
plunged From Arbitration
Measure at Third Reading

BERLIN, June is. - Upon it's third
reading to-day the Reichstag expunged
from the law establishing mercantile
arbitration tribunals the provision for
a female ballot, which was adopted
against the protest of the Government
on the second reading. The law was
passed. During the debate upon the
measure one of the speakers jOcularly
referred to the sympathetic attitude of
Countess Won Bulow, wife of the I'm
perial Chancellor, and Countess Won
PosadowslIi- Wehner. wife of the Min
lister of the Interior, toward the
women's movement, expressing the
hope that these ladies would soften the
hard hearts of their husbands
Count Won Posadowski- Wehner de-
clared it was a duty born of interna-
tional politeness to extend a hOspitable
greeting to such distinguished women.
some of whom look back upon glorious
achievements, but the extension of
such greetings did not necessitate the
acceptance of their entire programme.
especially their demand for political
suffrage for women.
At the close of the night session the
Reichstag adjourned to November %.
with the understanding that the En-
peror will call a session earlier, in case
the commercial treaty negotiations
render such action imperative.
