NEU1 AIR SPACE Law.
Senator Lodges Bill for Proper
Care of Immigrants.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington Dec 2o-The so-called air space
bill which Senator Lodge introduced in the Sen
ate q wear ago and which, after encOunterins nu-
v,aro,7a obstacles has finally become a law, is OF
considerably more importance than had generally
been thought. The law is decidedly technical IN
character but its chief effect is to compel the
allotment of greater number OF cubic feet OF air
space to steerage passengers in vessels bringing
immigrants to the United States. BY compelling
vessel owners TO provide more space for each I'M
migrant moreover. the measure may result IN ma
terialIy curtailing the number of immigrants
brought into this country. and. incidentally. will
make fer their arrival in New York and other
ports in better health because Of their travel un-
der more hygienic conditions.
The new law replaces the provision enacted as
part of the immigration bill OF 1882. and obviates
the section of the immigration law of two years
ago popularity known as Section AZ" from going
into effect at all. Section 42 was so drastic in It's
provisions that It discovered Its effect would
have been to drive immigrant bearing ships away
from, American ports Such ships coming from
Europe had its provisions been enforced. would
doubtless have landed their immigrants at some
Nova Scotian or Canadian port The new law
while materially less drastic than Section ~ which
was to have gone into effect on January !, lsOe
will work great benefit to immigrants. In the
words of an expert. the newest ana best equipped
ships are now made the standard up TO which al
others must be brought
Without going into technical details, the effect
on certain ships may be cited, The steamship
Cedric could, under the law OK 1892 accommodate
nS steerage passengers. Under Section 4 she
could accommodate only $780, and under the Lodge
law she will be able 10 accommodate 2,4O3. TAX
ing the case Of twenty-five average ships making
the port of New York, they could bring into this
country under the law of lS2, 1856 steerage pas
seugers- Under the law they will be able to
bring 250C. There many other improvements
in the accommodation and for the protection Of
steerage passengers which Will doubtless be de-
uanded as result OF the Investigations now being
carried on bv the Immigration Commission, but
that an immense Improvement will be worked from
the operation of the Lodge law and that 1t viii in
cidentauy materially curtail immigration seems
obvious from the figures given.

BOURNE'S SALARY PL4N.
Intent on Increasing Pay of PreSi-
dent and Tice-President.
From The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington Dec. Ex-senator Bourne is very
much in earnest IN his advocacy of the measure he
recently introduced in the Senate which provides
for raising the salaries Of the President and Vice
President to 10000 and $500 respectively. He is
devoting much time 70 arguing with members OF
both houses of Congress In favor Of the measure,
and he presents array of facts that seem con-
vinCng to many.
Mr. Bourne says that in every business institution
the salaries the chief officers made somewhat
proportionate TO their responsibility and there is
no reason why the President OF the United States.
at the head of the largest corporation in the world
should not be paid at least approximately much
as the presidents of great business enterprises He
calls attention the fact that the present
pant of the White House has rot been able to
any money during his ncumbency, and that in
electinK Mr. Taft to the Presidency the country
chose d man entirely without private fortune which
is not true of Mr.. Roosevelt He argues that the
remuneration of the Office should be such
leave at least a moderate sum for a rainy day TO
the man who fills the high office of Chief Execu-
tive and that should be compelled TO de-
cline nomination because he could not afford 10
devote his the service OF the country the
remuneration paid.
The President has no sum with which to enter
tain his guests. No matter how purely official his
entertainments may be. the cost comes entirely
OF his own salary. This is different from the pro-
vision made for almost every other head Of a great
nation MIR. Bourne believes that If the President
received a salary proportionate to his services and
the expenses he is compelled incur 1t would go
far to dispose OF the problem OF what do with
eX-Presdents"
All who have considered the subject regard this
as the proper time 10 make the change II any is
10 be made. ii is known that President Roose-
welt will cheerfully sign bill from which he will
gain nothing. but which will so greatly benefit hts
successor. Senator Bourne is most hopeful OF ia
vorabe consideration OF his measure. aud will spare
no pains to effect its enactment.
