NEW YORK. May 29.-Canadian Pa

market. with sales of 1900 shares at
2661e to 2e7H. compared with yesterday
closing price of 2631. Great Northern

of some good railway earnings, was soon
nuliified by contrary statements Cana

overshadowed by Readings large decrease

Beyond some further recoveries in

pronounced.

LEAVES BIG DEFICIT
Fire-PoIice Pension Bill Gives
$4,000 Revenue.
OFFICIALS DISAPPOINTED
Had Thought That About $88, 900
Would Be Made Avail
able.

Following the explanation of Sena-
tor Gallinger concerning certain pro-
visions Of the police AMI trench 8
pension, bill. recently passed by the
Senate. which was published in last
Saturdays issue Of The Star, District
officials now agree with the senator's
assertion that the measure. II enacted,
will give the District only about $4,000
surplus revenue upon which to draw
to meet it's pension liabilities.
Originally, the District officials were
of the opinion that the bill would make
available about $4,000 surplus revenue
1t Is explained that the difference in
calculation was the result of the fact
that the auditors Office and the United
States Treasury account for all insur-
ance collections under the single item
of insurance licenses.
The bill passed by the Senate provides
that receipts from the sale of insurance
licenses shall, be available for meeting
the pension payments. For 1911, the books
of the auditors office show, the income
from insurance licenses amounted to ap-
proximAtely ssS.OOO. and officials of the
department were of the opinion that
practically this. entire amount If neces-
sary, would be available for meeting the
pension payments.
Only About $40, 900 Available.
Senator Gallinger explained that the
provision in the bill relating to insurance
licenses relates only to the fees obtained
from. the sale of such licenses and not to
the tax collected on insurance premiums.
The latter amounts to about $72,
whereas fees from the sale of licenses
amount. to only about $4,000. although
both are carried in the Districts books
under the single item of insurance
licenses, value of the collections being
given, at about $SS,CO0.
1t is stated that in all probability in
suraflce collections hereafter will be en-
tered in the accounts under the items
OF insurance licenses and tax in insurance
premiums
At the time of the passage of the
Senate bill. which has now gone to con-
ference, Auditor Tweedale state that, al
though the expected excess funds that
would be available for meeting the pen
sion payments would amount to $SS,OO0
the growth. of the pension fund, together
with anticipated reductions in Police
Court fines, would make the amount in
sufficient for meeting the Districts pen
sion liabilities within the course of six
or eight years.
Obligation of the District.
The auditor expressed himself in favor
of plan whereby Congress would recog.
nize the Districts pension liabilities as
possessing equal merit with its other OBJ
legations and appropriate annually for
meeting them. -t%
Already the District faces a deficit
in it's pension payments of approx
mately $4,000. The bill passed by the
Senate does not provide for extin-
gushing this deficit, and it is the be-
"
the situation can be adjusted will be
to carry out the suggestion Of Senator
Gaf1inger by inserting an item in one
of the appropriation bills.

national legislation, but in affairs tina,
more closely and intimately affect this
district, has he shown himself to be
the right man in the right place
While Mr. Stevenson has been In
Washington, the people have felt that
in him they have friend at court,
one whom they have confd ence in and
can depend upon, at all times, to
guard carefully the many and varied
interests of this great district Little
criticism, if any mas or can be made
on his vote upon any legislative meas
ure. Like President Taft, he is not
a blind partisan, but a man of indie
pendent turn Of mind, and does what
he believes to be right, regardless OF
how majority Of his party may feel
about it. Yet Mr.. Stevenson is a
Republican OF the truly progressive
type. For these reasons and many
others that could be mentioned, Mr..
Stevenson deserves to be reelected.
1t is possible that troublesome, yes
turbulent times may lie in store for
the United States during the next few
years. Owing to Republican dissen-
sion, the election of Democratic
president and complete reversion of
Republican policies, are not imposs1-
bilities at all, but very strong proba-
bilities. In such contingency, it will
stand the people of this district we'll

A BASELESS FEAR

There is just one really respectable
ground of opposition to the parcels
post. That is the fear of the rural
merchant that full-fedged parcels
post will injure him or put him out of
business fear that is being worked
Tor all it is worth by the express com.
panies, which form the real backbone
OF the opposition to the parcels post.
This fear, we believe is entirely
baseless. The parcels post will bene-
fit the rural community and the rural
merchants quite as much as it bene.
fits anybody, and it will do them no
harm.
Even if it were certain to harm the
rural merchant, the position of any in
terest which stands in the way of a
project of admitted benefit to the peo-
pie as a whole, opposing it because of
it's own selfish interests, is utterly un-
tenable. 1t may prevail for while,
but the common good is certain to
win in the end.
But there will be no harm to- the
rural merchant in the parcels post,
and as it will be open to him as much
AS it is to the large city houses which
he fears, there is no reason why he
should not profit by it as much as
they do
A very good example of what the
parcels post will not do to the local
merchant is furnished in the case. of
any large city surrounded by large
number of suburban communities. The
large city houses, department stores
and the like, invariably maintain a
thorough free delivery system through
all these suburban towns. Does
this kill the local merchants? Most
decidedly it does not. In every, such
suburban community there will be
found thriving and prosperous local
business enterprises that seem to get
along just as we'll as though the city
department stores were not making
free deliveries to their customers
Probably if any country merchant
who is permitting himself to be dis
turbed by the fear that the parcels
post will put him out Of business could
visit almost any suburb outside
large city, and look over the local
business enterprises there, he would
revise his ideas.
1t will be we'll for him to change his
mind anyway, because the parcels
post is coming, and while we are GER

PRESIDENT TAFT AND TRUSTS

PRESIDENT TAFT AND TRUSTS
The Republican Party under Pres
ident Taft, could have no alliance or
affiliation with great trusts or com
binations Of capital, seeking to unlaw.
FULLY restrain trade and create and es-
tabl1sh monopolies, if they wanted to,
and they certainly do not want to. The
administration of President Taft has
so continuously, forcefully, and sue
cessfully, prosecuted combinations of
capital in restraint of trade that in
their fury they rush to the support of
the Democratic nominee or the third
term party candidate, whichever
seems to them to hold out the best
promise of defeating the Republican
Party and President Taft. Every re-
source OF money and influence will be
used directly and indirectly to defeat
the President for reelection, and it is
difficult at this time to say in which
direction the greatest efforts will be
made to accomplish this purpose,
whether through the Democratic or
the third term party.
1t ought to be clear to the dullest
understanding that the only hope of
the people in their battle for the sup
preston of monopoly is in the support
OF the party and the candidate which
has been and is at this time vigorously
enforcing the law against illegal COM
binations. 1t ought to be equally clear
that the Democratic candidate and
party are not and can not be clear
from alliances with great corporate
wealth, and certainly no one can be 50
poorly informed as not to know that
the third term candidate and his Or
ganization has as it's principal prop
and support the officers, the benefici-
aries, and the friends of great trusts
and combinations seeking to monopo-
lie the industries of the country

sentative Monden, of Wyoming.
