The presidential pension scheme

Of the Appropriations Committee are

ed in Estimates.

In answer to the request Of b. Pick
mann Mann. chairman OF the Board OF
Children's Guardians. and In accordance
with the recommendation Of Alonzo
Tweedale. Auditor. the Commissioners
have included In their deficiency esti-
mates for the fiscal yeaf 1918. an item
Of 5000 for the care Of fceble-mlnded
children. and an item Of $4,000 for the
caro- and board Of children.
For the fiscal year 1912, the board re-
ceived $4,000 for the care Of feeble-
minded. children. and expended &l7s4s3s.
leaving q balance Of 2.l5i.S7. For the
year 1918 It received $1,000. 1t Ii ex-
pected. therefore. that at the same rate
Of expenditure, q deficit will exist be-

BURLESONS PLAN
Of PENSIONS HAS
ROUGH TRIP AHEAD
Provision of Aid for Former
Presidents May Be Slash
ed From List.
By THEODORE ,TlLLER.

When the full Appropriations Com
mktee of the House meets tomorrow
to pass upon the legislative, executive
and judicial budget prepared by the
Burleson subcommittee, one Of the FIRST
things II plans to do is to slash ow. the
item providing a pension forformer
Presidents.
Congressman Burleson has succeeded
in retaining the provision in the bill as
It came from the subcommittee, but the
plan IL scheduled for harsh treatment
from the Appropriations Committee
proper.
Chairman Fitzgerald explained he was
talking for himself and wasn't particu.
lar about being quoted at length. but he
smiled knowingly and said:
Il thought the people had disposed Of
both President Taft and former Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the recent elections.
Tho people seem to desire that these
gentlemen retire to private life, and
don't see the advantage. under tho. cir
cumstances. Of making them life mem.
bers Of the House and thus encourag-
ing them to keep on scrapping."
Calls It "Toadyism."
Which indicates that Congressman
Burleson must do considerable mission
ary work II he saves his schemes to
place former Presidents virtually on q
pension by making them life members of
the House at salary Of 800 per year.
Hard shedding is ahead for the Presi.
Dental pension provision. however. even
II It 10 left In the bill and reaches the
House. Congressman Hull Of Tennessee
and Congressman johnson of South
Carolina are among those who are ready
to make a point Of order against the
item. Mr.. johnson considers It "tosdy-
ism" to pension former President.
Mr.. Burlesons efforts to make retired
Presidents members Of the House. with
the privilege Of debate. but without a
vote, followed the announcement that
Andrew Carnegie was willing to set
aside $4,000 per annum for all Presi-
dents who leave office in the future.
The Texas member held that the Gov.
eminent was able to provide for its own
former. Chief Executives. and that Mr..
CarnegiG's pension wouldn't be needed

As socn as the plan was noised about,
however, a number OF Mr.. Burieson's
Democratic colleagues hoped onto the
