CALLS ASSOCIATES
IN HOUSE COWARDS
Representative Martin Dies
Voices His Opposition to
Sherwood Pension Bill.
BLAMES BOTH PARTIES
Hopes President Taft Will Use
the Veto; Pension Legis-
lation Certain.
BLAMES BOTH PARTIES
Rv Associated Prcss.

| By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Charactcr-
| iziug his associates in congress as
'political cowards' on the subject Of
pension legislation, and declaring that
the Sherwood pension bill is a f50.000,-
| 600 contribution, Representatives Mar
tin Dies. Texas Democrat, swung the
pension debate in the house of repro,
soutativcs out Of its routine channel for
a half hour this afternoon.
Mr.. Dies declared that members were
not following their convictions on the
pension subject, but were supporting
an increase of pensions for fear OF
losing their seats.
1.-The Democratic party abouuds in
lust as much cowardice on this qUcs-
ton as does the Republican party.
said Mr.. Dies, Some OF my friends
say that if we do not give the soldiers
this money We will not be returned to
congress,
Representative Dies said he appre
ciated the fact that 'ffour thousand or
five thousand pension holders after a
scared congressman leaves no room for
argument.
Says Civil List Coming.
what viii it be when we have
civil list?' he demanded. HThere are
one million employees of the govern.
ment now demanding to be pensioned.
The president has caPitulated. I take
il that our leaders on the Democratic
side Will capitulate as readily as he.
''1t may be that TO he honest upon
these questions would beat us for the
presidency; II may be il would leave
some of our Democratic seats vacant.
| have about come TO the conclusion
that there are great many seats here
on both sides Of the chamber that ought
to be vacant.
81 do not doubt the honesty and in
teCTity Of this body, but ! have lost
my respect for it's courage.
E'Preseutlv we arc going 10 have
good deal of flannel mouthod orators
on the tariff question: said Mr.. Dies.
" Some of our vociferous leaders are
going to talk about free wool. and lower
taxes and lower tariff Do they not
know that in voting for this bill, to-
increase pensions from 100000, 900 TO-
f50000.000 a year, they will vote for
higher tariffs7 ] have not much pa
t,euce for our followers who arc going.
to talk about a lower tariff after hay
ing voted for this bill,'
Not Brave Himself
Mr. Dies added that he was "polit-
ical coward like the balance OF you,
but he expected somebody to rise some
time. ''bravc enough to risk his hide
and stop this notorious legislation.
cit may be President Taft, he
added. He may veto the Sherwood
bill If so, ] say, Strength TO his
arm.
The house gave undivided attention
to the bciligercut Texas Democrat, but
applauded his sentiment sparingly,
With the exception of Representative
Truble of Georgia. all the other dozen
members who spoke or the pension
question during the dav advocated the
service pay increases of the Sherwood
bill or an age limit in the plan of the
Sulloway bill passed by the house las,
spring.
