BRITISH VI. P'S. HAVE NO SALA-
RIES

In his cable letter to the Chicago
Tribune this week, T. p. O'Connor, NJ.
p, referring to the intention of the
government to Introduce a measure
for the payment of mebbers of the
House of Commons, remarks on the
present system as follows:
1t is strange that such a measure
should have remained so long delayed,
seeing that there are now so few coun-
try that do not give q salary to their
parliamentary representatives. There
is not, for instance. single British
colony in which the parliamentary
members are not paid a salary. I
have been for more than thirty years
a member of the House of Commons,
and l have not during that time re-
ceived one penny of public money. II
is necessary to repeat again and again
that there is no remuneration for the
British members of Parliament, be-
cause, in America and even in Eng
land itself. there is still the idea that
legislators do not work for nothing.
No Pay For Committee Work.
To this day there are people in
England, even, who imagine that a
member of the House of Commons
when he sits on a committee which
has to investigate the demands Of
and other corporations for
receives on to five guineas
per day for his time, but he doesn't get
a single penny.
Others believe that there are pen
sions for the members after a certain
period of service has passed, when, as
a matter of fact, there are only about
eight or ten pensions all told. And
these are confined only to those who
have held offices as ministers a certain
length Of time.

OUTLINE OF POLICY FOR
LONG AND SHORT HAUtS
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Hearing Suggestions on
Laws Administration.

With a view to the formulation and es-
Establishment of a policy respecting the ad-
ministration of the long-and-short-haul
provisions of the interstate commerce
act. the interstate commerce commission
today conducted hearing on the sub
ject. Shippers and railroad onicials gen.
orally participated in the hearing.
The law provides that no greater
freight charge shall be enacted for q
short haul than for a longer haul on the
same line and moving in the same di-
rection. This measure, however, is heds-
ed about by several provisions, which, in
certain circumstances, confer upon the
commission discretionary power to grant
railroads the privilege of charging more
for the shorter than for the longer. haul.
Rule Governing Privilege.
Application for the privilege must be
made by the roads, and the commission
before granting II, must determine that
the request is reasonable
Innumerable requests probably will be
made for the privilege. Manifestly. it
would be physically impossible for the
commission to conduct hearing on each
application. With view, therefore. to
obtaining information that would enable
i to adopt general regulations respect
Ing the administration Of the long-and-
short-haul section Of the law the hearinv
today was held
