Calls Act Unconstitutional.

Mr. Stone also argued that the rates
interfered with interstate commerce. and
claimed that the McChord act, creating
the Kentucky railroad commission, was
unconstitutional, because il did not pro-
vide for judicial review of its orders
Justice Holmes suggested that this
might not be a serious objection, as the
railroads could go into the courts to pro-
tect constitutional rights whether the act
provided for a review or not.

CONSIDERS PENSION BILL
Senate Committee Discusses
Cummins Measure, Pro-
viding Retirement.

Members Of the Senate committee on
civil service today discussed the Cum
minis bill DIR the retirement of veteran
employees Of Uncle Sam, but no action
was taken. 1t is believed several meet
ings will be required for discussion be-
fore the members will be ready to vote.
And Senator Cummins. who is chairman
Of the committee, announced at the con-
clusion of today's session that he hoped
to get the members of the committee to-
fgether for night session within the next
few days
Senator Cummins explained the features
of his bill to the other senators present
and the reasons for their adoption were
outlined by the author. There was no
expression of opinion as to the merits OF
the plan.
From accurate statistics gathered from
the present working force of the federal
government it has been ascertained by
Senator Cummins that the expenditures
from the federal Treasury for retirement
self-supporting will be Sal, 102, 400. After
twenty years the system will be SELL
supporting and will involve no further
appropriations.
Under the Cummins plan civil service
employees of the government are divided
into two classes-one class to consist OF
railway mail clerks, city letter carriers.
rural letter carriers and mechanics; the
other to include all other employees;
Those in the first class are to be retired
at the age of sixty-five, those in the
second at the age of seventy.
For employees in the service at the Tune
the act takes effect it is provided that
the government shall give $1,000 to those
retiring within one year, and $3,OVO less
$50 for each year that elapses between
the time of the passage of the act ana
the date of retirement to others retired
after one year.
1t is the cost Of retirement of these EN-
ployes already in the service, and VINO
would reach the retiring age OF either
sixty-five or seventy years. to. Wh1ch op-
lection has been made. And accurate sta
tistics have been gathered as to the cost.
How Employees Will Profit.
Among the class of employees who are in
the group that will retire at the age or
seventy years it has been found that 1.662
would be retired Immediately and would
receive 81 $50, 600; that a year later 4O4
would be retired, and would receive
ST. 10000. and so on for twenty years
with reduced expenditures. To provide
for the retirement of those employees I'M
der the Cummins bill $22. 419, $50 would be
required in appropriations

Nothing to Sustain Rates.

COURT TAKES EXCEPTION
TO PLEA OF Mr.. STONE
Counsel for L. & R. Railroad
Spends Unpleasant Half
Hour With Justice White.

Protesting that the claim on which the
court was asked to, annul the Kentucky
state rates on distillery supplies went far
beyond any case ever decided by the
Supreme Court of the United States,
Chief Justice White caused Henry l..
Stone, for the Louisville and Nashville
railroad. to spend an unpleasant half
hour today.
Mr.. Stone was contending that the fed
eral courts should set aside the rates,
not because the rates Were confscatory
and thus deprived the carriers of their
property, as was commended in the Mis-
souri, rate cases, but because the rates
did not allow enough profit.
The Chief Justice insisted upon what
authority the attorney had for this state
ment.

THOMAS FOR

Among the several candidates
for Speaker of the next House OF
Representatives we believe that
Hon. L. E. Thomas Of Shreve-
port is best fitted because of ex-
perience and ability for that re-
sponsible position. Mr.. Thomas
has been a member of the Legis-
lature for a long time and has
been one of its leading and most
active members. He is without
doubt the best posted on lnan-
cial affairs of the State, which IS
especially valuable as the 6nanc-
ing of the State debt must be
considered at the coming ses-
sion. Besides as an active and
able and strong leader in the
Good Government league his
services deserve this recognition.

IN to his House position.

on to his House position.
Mr.. Broussard's victory was
due, without question, to the
courage he showed when he an
nounced himself a candidate for
the United States Senate in 1910,
against the combination OF the
Governor, the machine and the
ring. Had he been elected then
he would have had to give up
his seat in the House, and would
now be serving in the Senate.
He was not chosen then, al
though his fight won him the
respect, confidence and support
of voters throughout the State,
and secured for him also his
nomination in the recent pri-
mary. From a district he be-
came a State candidate, making
speeches, soliciting support in
all the seven districts of the
State.
The voters from the other dis
tricts who supported him, who
made him their candidate, have
as much right as his old consti-
tuents of the Third District to
ask him to take them into con-
sideration in this matter, and NOT
to belittle in any way the high
Office they have given him. He
received as heavy a vote in the
First Congressional District as in
his own, the Third; he received
5O28 more votes in New Or
leans than in all the parishes OF
his district. Four-ffths of his
votes, or 38,619, came to him
from outside his district, because
they regarded him as a candidate
of the whole State, not of a small
part of it; and these voters now
ask him to represent them, the
whole State, and not a portion
of it. W. believe that Mr.. Brous-
sard will, after mature delibera-
ton, recognize that no one can
fully release him from the OBJ
legation he undertook when he
became a candidate for Senator
and promised to do all in his
power for the whole State; and
when the people having conf
dence in him nominated him to
that office.

Congress now that he is Sel,a-
tor-Elect? That is a question be
irg discussed. The Times-De ,n-
ocrat thinks not and says:
There will be contests in the
Louisiana Democratic primaries
this fall for most of the congress
sional seats from the State. The
promotion of Mr.. Ransdell to
the Senate will, OF course, Gre
ate a vacancy in the Fourth Dis
trict, for which several candid
ates are mentioned. The case
of Mr.. Broussard, similarly pro-
NOTED, is somewhat different ;
and the question of his success
scr is affected by that difference.
Although elected in 1912, Mr..
Broussard does not take his
seat as Senator until March 4.
1915, so that there is a consider
able interim between the expira-
ton of His House term and the
beginning of his senatorial ser
vice. It is natural, therefore,
that many of his old constitu-
e1ts of the Third, with whom he
is personally very popular,
should ask him to continue in
Congress, until he is ready to
take his seat in the upper house.
Mr.. Broussard has not yet given
any decisive answer to this prop
osition, beyond saying that he
would be guided by the wishes
and advice of his friends.
The Times Democrat hopes,
IS we feel confident a majority
Of Mr.. Broussard's supporters
hope, that he will recognize and
appreciate the promotion they
have given him in making him
the representative of the entire
State, not one only of his dis
trict, OF one-seventh or eighth Of
Louisiana. 1t will 10 k strange
to have a Senator elect beco.ne
q candidate for a smaller and
practically local position. and to
fill this minor post while he is
waiting for the other. 1t will be
strange, for the excellent and
proper precedent has been set
that the Senator-elect shall not
be playing politics in the inter
val between election and taking
his SCAT, or taking Office, but shall
be qualifying himself for the
place he is about to fill.
