ARMY BILL is READY
Many Changes Made by Senate
Military Committee.
From The Tribune Burea

Washing ton, March 22.-Tbe army appro-
priation bill will be reported from the Senate
Military Committee early next week. II
will carry some new provisions, although
all the new legislation incorporated In the
bill by the House has been stricken out, in
cludmg the clause reducing the number OF
regiments of cavalry by Ave. 4 saving OF
SSoo.0OO year is provided for by a clause
which reduces the travel allowance OF en-
listed men on discharge to two cents mile.
This arrangement does not apply 10 those
already in service except in cases OF re.
enlistment. Army officers have been much
interested in the retention OF foreign ser
vice pay. which Is cut out by the House.
The Senate Military Committee restored
the provision but eXcep;s from such addi-
tionai pay those officers on duty in the
Canal Zone Certain provisions are inserted
10 impose forfeiture OF pay in the cases OF
officers who do not serve with their organ
iZations at least three years in every six.
The committee refused TO adopt the
House provision that there should be
stoppage of pay In the case OF officers and
men absent from duty on account OF disa-
bility due TO ntemperance or other mis-
conduct This is a provision urgently rec
commended by the surgeon general and APP
proved by the Secretary OF War as a means
OF improving the habits Of soldiers and pro-
viding a check on intemperance. IL will be
a keen disappointment TO those In charge
OF army health. but tho members of the
committee believed the stoppage OF pay
under such circumstances was calculated TO
lead to much controversy and result in ap-
peals from the decision of the medical
officers who must determine the cause of
disability II provided an opportunity, IL
was felt TO impose injustice on individuals.

Mr.. TAFT'S RECORD
A Sort of Civic Physician-Re.
ducing the Public Pulse.

Writing in '"The Yale Review" on "Wul.
lam Howard Taft A. Maurice Low, q wei,
known Washington correspondent. saws tha,
"Mr Taft is not unlike Mr.. Cleveland"
and that the Ten who have been mos,
bitter in their opposition to Mr.. Taft ought
by right TO have been his most ardent sum
porters." Continuing. Mr.. Low touches on
the income tax and observes:
The demand for an income tax spent q.
self In futile agitation, which was very
Characteristic OF insurgency. An income
tax was impossible, but tax on corpors.
tions. the next thing 10 it, was practical.
and Mr.. Taft proposed il, drew the bili
and made the corporation tax a law a long
step in the direction of the federal control
OF corporations transacting an interstats
business. This should have won hin, tha
gratitude of the Progressives; vet far from
recognizing In Mr.. Taft a fellow Pro-
gressiye they recanted their own principles
by embarrassing the passage OF the bill
Continuing his analogy or the careers OF
Mr. Taft and Mr.. Cleveland, Mr. Low
writes:
When Mr.. Cleveland said that the silver
purchase law must be repealed Democrats
told him that his stubbornness would wreck
the party. He was unmoved alike by APP
peals and threats. Would he consent to
compromise that would permit him TO re-
tire with the honors OF war and yet permit
his opponents in his own party TO claim a
victory? Mr.. Cleveland would not; abso-
lutely, positively and emphatically he would
listen to nothing that he knew to be trick
and accept nothing that stopped one inch
short OF unconditional repeal. To every
suggestion that he was playing bad politics
Mr.. Cleveland made the short and uncom-
promising reply that he was doing his duty
and not concerning himself with politics.
Substitute reciprocity for silver and the
scene is acted over again. Against Mr..
Clevelands firmness and courage and hon
esty his opponents were powerless MIR.
Taft carried reciprocity because he was
inspired by the same high ideals.
Summing up Mr. Taft's record as Presi-
dent for the last three years, Mr. Low re-
marks:
Seldom has a man accomplished so much
I'm gIch a short time as Mr.. Taft The leg
islation that has been enacted during ths
last three wears makes his administration
one OF the most Important in recent times:
hut far more important Is the great SER
vice he has rendered in checking agitation
and in bringing the people 10 nave re-
spect for and TO pay obedience to law. =.
Already the effecL OF the work can be seen:
The public Is in healthier frame or mlnd
than * WAS three years ago. There Is stll
TOO much unrest. but IL is gradually subsid-
ing Men are no longer tried on suspicion
and convicted on rumor, but may claim A

but the nerves of the American people have

tions OF William Howard Taft
