DEMOCRATS BEGIN PAIRING
Cut Out Commerce Court and
Ex- presidents Pensions.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The first big sup
ply measure of the present session OF
Congress, the legislative. executive ana
judicial appropriation bill. was reported
TO the House to-day The measure car
ries $34,Ss7,105 so, a decrease or $3ls'-
OF IS from the corresponding bill In the
previous session. The estimates or the
Secretary of the Treasury. $3o,blf'Soo oo'
were cut more than 100000.
As presented to the full committee by
the subcommittee which framed IT the
bill included n provision by Representa-
tive Burleson. Of Texas, making ex-
Presidents members-at-large OF the
House. with a salary Of sl1,5oo. But the
full committee disapproved and 1t was
struck out.
The Commerce Court asked for $4,000
for the coming fiscal year. but the COM
mittee would not allow the item. The
last legislative. executive and judicial
bill gave the court just enough money
to continue 1t to March 4 next year.
President-elect Wilson probably will
get the regular annual allowance Of $685.
600 for travelling expenses.
The bill will be considered on the moor
at once and will be the first supply

Fitzgerald, Carnegie and Pensions.

Numerous efforts have been made to in
duce President Taft to express his views
on Andrew Carnegle's proposition TO pro-
vide pensions for ex-Presidents out of the
Carnegie Foundation, but without sue
cess. In the first place, II is probable that
Mr.. Taft prefers that Mr.. Carnegie shall
be the first 10 learn his view on this gen.
erous proposition. and in the second place
IL may be that Mr.. Taft does not feel
called on al any time to express his views
TO the general public. Those who know
Mr.. Taft, however, should have little diff
ficulty in divining his position. 1t Is a
safe prediction that Mr.. Taft Will not
sanction the scheme and would not accept
a pension from the Carnegie Foundation.
No one in the White House has been more
punctilious about keeping himself free
from embarrassing obligations than Mr..
Taft, and the same scrupulous care which
has always actuated his course will be
sure TO govern his action now. or course.
II may be argued that he might, now that
the end of his administration is so close
at hand. accept a pension from Mr.. Car
negie or his endowment, without scruple,
but those who so argue do not know Mr..
Taft He would. unquestionably, feel that
he was, TO employ convenient British
circumlocution, ''by way of being" under
obligation 10 Mr.. Carnegie during the re-
mainder Of his term and he would have
none Of 1t. Furthermore. sense OF con-
sideration for his successor would pre-
vent his sanctioning the proposal even on
the last day OF his administration, for
even IL Mr.. Taft consented to accept the
pension only on March 3, If the custom
thus became established 1t could not De
gsinsaid that to some extent President
Wilson would be under obligations to the
,ronmaster throughout his term. Under
these circumstances, 1t is probable that

COMMERCE BOARD PRAISED

Walker d. Hines, general counsel for
the Atchison. Topeka Sante fe sys-
tenn and Joint counsel for most OF the
big express companies in the general ex-
press inquiry pending before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. talked on
"The Express Companies and the PUB
lie" before the Finance Forum or the
West Side Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation last evening.
.The commission" he said. has taken
great interest in the development OF the
EXPRESS service and the increase OF us
efficiency, and / believe that not only
the public but the express companies VIII
derive great and lasting benefits from
the attention It Is giving to the. grave
and exceedingly difficult problems which
are now being solved in express trans
portation business.
"The officers of the companies are CO.
operating with the utmost sincerity with
the commission in working out these PROB
lens. and they have derived great help
and stimulus from the work of that oody.
Let me say, however, that the increase
IN the business OF the express companies
has not by any means correspondingiy IN
creased their net returns, but on the
contrary, the returns are very much less
proportionately at present than In the
past"
Mr.. Hines said he believed the Inter
state Commerce Commission and the
companies were going to solve satisfac'
torily to the public the tariff problems

DOLLAR DIPLOMACY WINS
American Firm Gets Large Con-
tract from Rumania.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Dec. Another evidence
of the practical results of the so-called
dollar diplomacy OF the Department of
State developed to-day when announce
ment was made that an American firm
had been awarded by the Rumanian gov

The Rumanian government authorized

which would be used to carry petroleum
between the two points, was placed under
the direction of the government railway
authorities, and the sum Of $500, 900 was
appropriated to defrsy the cost.
In accordance with the principles OF
''dollaf diplomacy" Minister Jackson, at
Bucharest. notified the State Department

compete for the contracts. and Minister
Jackson has just cabled that the United
