PENSION DECISIONS
By the Assistant Secretary of the De.

this soldier contracted both his first and his
last marriages, he must be presumed TO

Jurisdiction of Secretary Of the Interior
and Commissioner of Pensions to Make
Rules and egulations-Reguations made
by the department in the administration of
the pension laws must keep within the
scope of the statutes under which they are
framed.
There is no statute which authorizes or
permits the commissioner Of pensions or
this department to make any rule or regula-
ton relative to the payment of q fee or
the acceptance thereof by an attorney.

The act of July (. 1884, having been held
to be general legislation and as applying to
all acts of Congress under which pensions
are granted, except when specifically abro-
gated as to particular acts. it is beyond the
power or province of an administrative Off

fifty miles an hour, as it was over an

ton i'll the center Of the rails. and all
efforts on the part Of the peoplv Oh the

Of the letter of my resignation sent 20
the governor, until he has read it. l will
say, however, that l have no reasons
nor made any explanation for resigning.
Mr. Barnes resignation will take effect
on August 1. He will probably remain
in Madison for a time and take a much
needed rest. He has no plans for the
future but may go back to Rhinelander
and resume his law practice there.
Who Will Get the Place?
The vacancy caused by the resignation
will be filed by appointment by Gov.
Davidson. The names of +. W Hall
and r. NJ. Bashford of Madison e
been suggested. 1t mas been state. ale
board shall be a Democrat and there
fore a man of that party must be chosen
to fill the place Of Mr.. Barnes who is
Democrat. But there is no provision
of that sort in the law. In fact, Nels
2. Haugen, Republican, was appointed
for the position by La Toilette two years
ago, but the appointment was not con-
hrmed by the senate and Mr.. Barnes
was named instead.
For a Six Year Term
The term of office expires on the first
Monday in February, 1913, and the APP
pointment will be made for that unex-
expires on the first Monday of February,
1909. and that of Halford Erickson on
the first Monday of February, 1911.
Resented 2-Cent Fare Law.
The resignation is the result of the
passage of the 2-cent fare bill and the
criticism and annoyance encountered by
Mr.. Barnes at the hands of State Chair
man and Lieut.-Gov. w. D. Conner. Mr..
Barnes accepted the place two years ago
under protest, giving up a lucrative
practice in Rhinelander to do so. Under
his lead the commission has been abso-
lutely independent and free from all
political influences and has won the con-
fidence of both railroads and the people,
The great responsibilities placed on the
commission by the original law of two
years ago have been increased many fold
by the public utility law of 1907.
Other Two Will Stick.
Mr. Meyer and Mr. Erickson will
probably not resign. Mr.. Barnes felt
that the attack made upon the commits
sion had been caused by antagonism to
him alone and it was his desire that
the other two members of the commission
remain on duty and they will probably
do so. Mr.. Meyer will, however, prob
ably decline a reappointment at the ex-
piration of his term in 1909 according
to the plans he had made when he ac-
cepted the office. Mr.. Erickson is very
much interested in trying out certain for
mulaS and rules for establishing railroad
rates which have been worked out ac-
cording to his own ideas and which re-
Gently have been accepted by the rail-
roads themselves as authoritative.
