the facts that many parents never nm.

PENSION RlLLIs WAITING.

Upon decision OF the United States
Supreme Court may depend the fate OF
the legislation nov pending before
Congress to add $40, 600, 000to the pen
sion bill of the government. The
amount Of the collection under the cor
poration tax law last year was So,
900, 900, and this year will reach
$50, 600, 900.
The S27 900, 600 already collected is
held in the treasury with string at
tachcd TO it. The government will
keep this money and Use it, il the Sill
preme Court fully sustains the consti-
nationality of the corporation tax law.
But decision Of that court declaring
the tax to be unconstitutional would
mean that this ST, 900, 600 would have
to be refunded to the corporations from
which it was collected.
The elimination OF this S21 900, 600
from the treasury revenues would
make big deficit in last years show
ing and the elimination OF the e1-
pected S57 100000 will leave an i'm
mensc hole at the end Of the current
fiscal year. With such deficit, il
would be impossible to put through a
pension law adding from S45, 100000
to $50, 900 600 to the present annual
payment Of $l53, 600, 900 for pensions.
The SnIloway EiIl for this enormous
Increase in pensions passed the House
some time ago and is now before the
Senate pensions committee, which will
meet next Monday to take final action
on the matter. The Supreme Court,
now in recess, is expected to hand down
its decision in the corporation tax cases
the following Monday, February 20.
Should the law be sustained, an effort,
will be made 10 rush through the per-
sion bill. Should the corporation tax
be held unconstitutional, friends Of the
bill will hardly press it.

A p1srArcn from Washington says

A DISPATCH from Washington says:
Interest in the attitude OF the two Flr-
ginia Senator'S, Martin and Swanson,
upon the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment has been heightened by the stand
taken by Representatives William A.
Jones and Carter Glass, OF Virginia, In
the democratic House caucus two
nights ago. Mr.. Glass, who is cam
didatc for the Senate against Senator
Swanson, made 4 vigorous and open
speech against the agreement IN tbs
caucus. Hc opposed it rs IN nndemo-
cratic measure and will vote against II
Mr.. Jones, who is candidate for the
Senate against Senator Martin, did not
speak in the caucus, but left before the
vote was taken, SO that he did not go on
record and is not bound by the caucus.
It is understood that he shares the views
Of Mr.. Glass on the subject. Senators
Martin and Swanson have given no in
dication Of their stand, but If, III the
caucus OF democratic Senators on FRI
day, they declare in favor OF the agree
ment, the difference between their
attitude and that Of their opponents is
likely TO be made an issue in the Fir-
ginia. Senatorial primaries next Sep

The belief Of The friends OF Senators
Martin and Swanson throughout the
state is that those gentlemen will vote
as they sec fit on any subject that comes
before The Senate, utterly regardless Of
the side taken by either Mr.. Jones or
Mr.. Glass.
