Congress Will Go On Record

It will, however come up for discus sion and Congress will go on record on the proposition, for ;n the Senate Sen ator McCumber has introduced a meas ure providing for eX-Presidents and their widows, and it is understood that similar bills will be introduced In the House.
 Pensions for eXpresidents have been the cause of much criticism and com Q ment al the capitol ever since the an- nouncement of the presidential pensio n plan of the Carnegie fund and the bur den of criticism has been directed against the United States for not hav- ing provided already for them, and thus answer the question what shall we do with our ex-Presidents2"
 Many of the leading democrats. how ever, are strongly opposed to the idea and will fight any attempt to put such a bill through very bitterly, and so formidable has this opposition become it Is exceedingly doubtful if the meas ure ever becomes a law.

 It is quite evident, however, that this view is not entertained by a great number of the representa- atives in Con- gress. In fact so much opposition to the plan of pensiohing ex-Presidents has developed that the provision for , so doing has already been stricken iron, the executive. legisla tive and judicial appropriation bill in the committed and if the measure comes before the House at all, it must do so in the form of an amendment to this bill, or be intro duced as a separate bill by some mem ber
