THE senate, by practically un-
animous vote, on Monday passed
a most drastic but most meri-
torious measure, providing that no
candidate for congress shall be
entitled to spend in excess of ten
cents per voter in any campaign,
with the additional provision that
no senator can expend $780,
600 and no congressman to ex-
coed $4,000. Provision is also
made that all promises of politi-
cal jobs must be made public. This
measure is in keeping with the
campaign for publicity legisla-
ton, and cannot but meet with
popular approval, even though in
this district it will cut the voter
down to a Wheeling stogie if he
sells his vote at a price. The
measure has gone to the house,
and will pass without doubt.

TAFT EXPECTED TO
VETO PENSION BILL
Sulloway Measure Carries
$45,OOO, 900 Increases,
Making Record Budget.

1t is freely predicted at the White
House today that President Taft will
veto the Sulloway pension bill, If 1t
comes to him as adopted by the House
and as favorably reported by the Senate
Pensions Committee yesterday.
This bill increases the pension budget
of the country S45,OOO,OOO 1t will make
the annual outlay for the old soldiers
nearly 500. 900, and will bring it up
to the highest point pension appropria-
tions have ever reached.
Also this bill, If 1t is finally enacted,
will wipe out entirely all savings the
President has effected during his entire
Administration.
These are the reasons which led White
House callers today to think that the
President would disapprove of the Sui
loway bill. Those who talked to the
President would not discuss his attitude
on the pension budget, but the intima-
ton was freely INDUCED in that the
President would never consent to this
big an increase in pensions in one single
year,
