Representative Dies of Texas and
Tribble of Georgia Deplore
Lack of Courage.

Two democrats. Representatives Samuel
J. Tribble of Georgia and Martin Dies of
Texas, bitterly assailed on the floor of the
House yesterday afternoon the Sher-
wood dollar-a-day pension bill, up for
consideration, with the hearty sanction Of
their party leaders.
MIR. Dies denounced the bill as IAN at
tempted campaign contribution Of nearly
$5O,OOO,OO0." He declared that there was
cowardice in both parties. as advocates
Of the measure feared to vote against the
bill because Of the possible effect upon
elections.
Mr.. Dies declared that members were
not voting their convictions on the pen
sion subject, but were supporting an in
crease of pensions through fear of losing
their seats. FLANNEL mouthed orators
on the tariff question, said Mr.. Dies, will
not save democrats from the charge of
having increased the federal appropria-
tons by passing the Sherwood pension
bill.

MI. Oldfield Optimistic.

Representative Oldfeld Of Arkansas,
another democratic member Of the Dis
trict committee. is optimistic concerning
the treatment the District will receive
at the hands of this Congress.
Constructive and not destructive leg1s-
lation is, what the District needs,' he
said, land / believe this Is what the pres
ent House will try to give it. That moth
ing will be done without due consideration
has been clearly indicated in the atti-
tude OF Chairman Johnson and members
of the House District committee. No
definite action has been taken in mat
tiers of general interest as far as the
public knows. because until the ideas Of
form best suited to bear out this policy

serve TO stir up to greater degree an
already super-heated public spirit.
at is to be regretted that utterances of
an Incorporate nature from unauthorita-
tive sources have been brought to the at
tention of the public and have wrought
an agitation. not surprising when the
causes are known, but abortive when
probable results are considered in the
light of authoritatively expressed opin-
ions

Hopes Taft Will Veto.

Mr. Dies added that he was "pOliti-
cal coward. like the balance of YOU"
but that he expected somebody to arise
sometime brave enough to risk his
hide and stop some Of this notorious
legislation.

ed. He may veto the Sherwood bill.
If so. 1 say: Strength to his arm "

had come for all sections of the country
to object to further increases THE
democratic House cut it's expenses $780,

poses in one act to add nearly $4,000,

Representative Willis (rep.) of Ohio de-
clared no parallel could be drawn be-
tween civil war pensions and the pro-
posed pension for government employees,

Scores Both Parties,

The democratic party abounds in Just
as much cowardice on this question as
does the republican party said i.
Dies. Some Of my friends say that If
we do not give the soldiers this money
we will not be returned to Congress.
There has been a rivalry between the
democratic and republican parties ever
since the war, as to who should give the
most to the soldiers. 1t has not been q
question Of giving them what they want
ed, but Of seeing how much they would
take"
MIR. Dies said he appreciated the fact
that 1000 or 5000 pensionholders after
a scared congressman leave no room for
argument.
What will it be when we have a civil
list?" he demanded. There are 100000
employees Of the government now de-
has capitulated. 1 take it that our lead
ers on the democratic side will capitulate
as readily as he.

| these questions would beat us for the
presidency; it may be 1t would leave
some Of our democratic seats vacant.

my respect for it's courage. There are
tlots Of you here who are not willing
to vote your honest convictions for fear
of defeat. I think decapitation for a
good many cowardly statesmen here
would do this republic good"
Mr.. Dies said that although the son
of a Confederate soldier, he wanted
liberal and fair" pensions for all north
ern soldiers who held the states to-
gether and preserved the republic" Both
parties had gone too far, he said.
presently we are going to have good
deal of flannel-mouthed oratory on the
| tariff question: Mr.. Dies declared. Some
| of our vociferous leaders are going to
| talk about free wool and lower taxes and

voting for this bill to increase pensions
| from $50 600, 600 to $JO,OOO.OOO year they
will vote for higher tariffs? l have not
much patience for our fellows who are
going to talk about a lower tariff after
having voted for this bill.
Now we stand face to face with pen

There is absolutely no reason for the
people of the District of Columbia to

which the District budget for 1913, upon
which hearings will begin tomorrow,
will be handled by the democratic House,
according to Representative Albert Sid

of the measure.
Mr. Burleson says he knows Of no hos

the District has been extravagant In the
past or that the Commissioners estimates
for 1913 are unduly large. In fact. he is
we'll satisfied with them. He promises
that while an effort will be made to ef-
feet reforms and economies. that the ad-
