DROP CONTROLLER BAY.
Charges Against Richard S. Ryan Are
Dropped.

A formal report to the house from
the committee on expenditures in the
interior department dismissed from con
gressional consideration the Controller
bay charges, the keynote of which was
the widely quoted "Dick to Dick" let
ter and the accusation that Richard s.
Ryan was acquiring monopoly of val
liable Alaska harbor rights.
The committees action was based on
the recommendation of Louis D. Bran
deis and Amos Pinchot, counsel for the
committee.
"The government, the committee
report says, "should not part with the
title to any coal, petroleum, natural gas
or mineral land which it now owns in
Alaska.
The government should construct, ac-
quire, own and if necessary operate, at
least one railroad there.
eff Alaska is to be developed that
development must come either through
outside syndicated wealth or through
individual energy and enterprise, slim
ulated and aided by government con
struction of necessary railroads."

ANNUAL.REPORT OF
POSTMASTER GENERAL.

Washington.-In his annual report,
Postmaster General Hitchcock says
Now that the successful operation of
the postal savings system is assured, it
is hoped that congress will promptly
authorize the establishment of a parcel
post. The benefits of this service are
widely enjoyed by the people of foreign
countries and should be provided in the
United States. The department not
only renews its recommendation of last
year for legislative authority to start
a parcel post on rural routes, but asks
a similar authorization for the intpodue-
tion of such service in cities and
towns having delivery by carrier

pace with the extension of the system.
Amounting at the end of the first
month to only $60,252 in the 48 expert
mental Offices, they increased in half
year to $679,31O, and now, after II
months of operation, have reached a
total of $11, 100000.
Change Portage Rates
Next to the question of establishing a
parcel post, the most important postal
problem to be considered by congress
at the coming session viii be that of
readjusting postage rates.
AS the first step in that direction the
department suggested that the postage
rate on second-class mail be increased
cent pound, thus making fiat rate
of cents a pound, which charge should
be regarded as merely tentative, how
ever, leaving for future determination
such additional increase as may be
found necessary to meet the cost. 1t
lis hoped that the commission will took
with favor on this recommendation, and
that the legislation providing for it's
adoption will be enacted by congress.
1t is asked that the ranking priv
ilege be discontinued, but that special
envelopes and stamps be provided for
free transmission of official mail. Also
that reimbursement of the pay of rail
roads for carrying mail should be deter
mined on the basis of the amount of
, space required in ears for the handling
= of the mails, making proper allowances
of course, for the extent and frequency
!, of the service performed.

CONGRESSMAN DIES DECLARED
In RECENT Speech THAT
MEMBERS ARE AFRAID.
Colleagues Want Votes More Than to
Vote Own Convictions-Says Over a
Demand Big Pensions-Hopes Taft
Will Veto Sherwood Bill.

n.-Characterlzlng his asS0-
ciates in congress as political towards
on the subject of pension legislation,
and declaring that the Sherwood pen
sion bill is $50,O0O,00O campaign con-
tribution, Martin Dies, a Texas demo
crat, swung the pension debate in the
house of representatives out of its rou-
tine channels for half hour the other
afternoon. Mr.. Dies declared that mem
beers were not voting their convictions
on the pension subject, but were sup
porting an increase of pensions for fear
of losing their seats.
Both Parties Alike.
"The democratic party abounds in
Just as much cowardice on this question
as does the republican party he said.
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 appreci-
ated the fact that ''four thousand or
five thousand pension soldiers after a
scared congressman leaves no room for
argument"
"What will it be when we have a
civil listq' he demanded. "There arc
1000, 900 employees of the government
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
cit may be that to be honest upon
these questions would beat us for the
presidency; it may be it would leave
some of our democratic seats vacant
/ have about come to the conclusion
there are great many seats here or
both sides of the chamber that ought
to be vacant.
''Lost Respect for It's Courage
''I do not doubt the honesty and in
y tegrity of this body, but have lost
my respect for its courage.
"'Presently we are going to have {
good deal of flannel-mouthed oratory OF
the tariff question:" continued Mr.
Dies. "Some of our vociferous leaders
are going to talk about free wool anC
lower taxes and lower tariff. Do the,
not know that in voting for this bill
to increase pensions from $20,000,OO'
to $50,OOO,OO0 a year they will vote TO
higher tariffs9 I have not much pa
thence for our fellows who are goin'
to talk about a lower tariff after hav
ing voted for this bill
Mr. Dies added that he was "politi
cal coward like the balance of you,
but he expected somebody to rise som
time, "brave enough to risk his hid
and stop this notorious legislation
cit may be President Taft h
added "He may veto the SHERWOOD
bill. If so, 1 say, Strength to hi

The Tramp's Quick Reply.

The speaker was Champ Clark, the

subject was a bill which Mr.. Clark
disapproved, says the Tombigbee Clar-

Yes" he resumed, the argument
for this bill is plausible and uncon-
vincing-just like the argument of the
intoxicated tramp.

shady seat under a tree one hot June
afternoon and hailed an old lady driv-
