Agriculture.
It was formerly known as the Bureau
of Forestry, but at Mr.. Pinchots sugges-

Some time was spent by the House of
Representatives yesterday in general de-
bate on the white slave bill reported by
Representative Howell, of New Jersey,
from the Committee on Immigration and
Naturalization as a substitute for two
measures introduced by Representative
Bennett. Of New York. and one by Repre-
sentative SABBATH, of Illinois
The principal opposition TO the meas
ure. which differs from the Mann bill,
is in its inclusion Of immoral men in
the stringent prOhibitOry provisions pro-
posed and its strengthening OF the para
graphs with respect 10 detention and
deportation, was from Representatives
Richardson, Of Alabama, and Bartlett, of
Georgia. who claimed that it interfered
with the police powers OF the States.
The measure will be taken up to-day
in all probability. and its passage is as
sured.
Later the Mann bill will be consid-
cred Representatives Bennett and Mann
both say that the two measures. if both
are passed, will not conflict In any es-
sential particular.

Facts of Retirement Plan.

BY unanimous consent, the Senate yes
terday adopted Senator Cummins' reso-
luton directing the Secretary OF Com
nerce and Labor 20 furnish information
to guide the Committee on Civil Service
and Retrenchment in framing a bin for
a retirement fund for government clerks.
Interest IN the proposed reform is
growing daily among members Of Con-
gress. and Il is considered probable q
favorable measure viii be passed al this
session to benefit the employees IN the
public service.
According 10 Senator Cummins, his
committee Will grant hearings on the
subject, and efforts will be made TO In
crease the efficiency Of the government
service as soon as possible.
Tt is evident" said the Iowan. that
either We must abandon the present svs-
TEN OF indefinite tenure OF office Of gov
eminent employees or we must devise
some system Of retiring those Of long
service who may become incapacltated
BY age and physical disability attendant
upon their long service.
Inasmuch as there seems 20 be gen
eral approval Of the system of indefinite
tenure, we must, IN order 10 make the
service efficient, provide a system Of re-
tirement. by which the men and women
who have grown old and incapacitated
can give up their places without facing
the poorhouse."
