CARNEGIE ESPURSU.S.
CONGRESS EXPECTED TO PRO-
VIDE MAINTENANCE FOR
FORMER PRESIDENTS.
HAS LONG BEEN TALKED
Retired Executives May Be Given
Seats in Congress or Paid
Annuity, According to
Reports.

Washington. Nov. 25. Congress
will consider in the coming session
two proposals in reference TO caring
for all former presidents of the United
States.
The first will contemplate granting
them a straight pension.
The second will call for their con-
tinued service In the senate or house
OF representatives at the salary of
1880 paid members OF congress.
The consideration of provision for
former presidents will he the direct
result Of the proposal of the Carnegie
have served the people in the White
House.
The suggestion that a private insti-
tuition, founded by a millionaire. pro-
vide for the future Of men who have
filed the highest Office within the gift
of the American people has aroused
resentment among public men in
Washington. They regard it in the
nature of an impertinence. At the
same time they are brought face to
face with the fact that nothing is done
with a man who has served the people
and such service has handicapped him
from earning a livelihood.
Taft Hampered by Service.
For example. President Taft. who is
a lawyer. cannot, with an observance
OF the proprieties. practice before the
supreme court, majority of whose
members are his personal appointees
or other federal judges who owe theii
positions TO him.
The president has not large for
tune. not more than $4,000. and mus
work. II is his intention to avoid the
embarrassment OF court practice anC
to act largely in an advisory capacity
Even in this way, however. he will bs

even the appearance of impropriety
This will force him to refuse case.

which he appointed.

ferent from that Of Mr.. Taft He ha,

expenses Of himself and his family
The colonel is not lawyer. He earni
a modest salary from a weekly papel
and consequently has no relation

office.
Future Easy for Wilson.
In some respects. also, Mr.. Wilson,
case is different from that OF Mr.. Taft
The next president is a college pro
fessor. When he returns to privat,
life he will not find IL necessary to ap
pear before any OF his appointees. III,
will seek a position with universit,
or college and probably will find n,
difficulty in getting a place suitable I,
his experience and dignity.
Andrew Carnegie is inspired only b.
patriotic emotions in his offer to Civ,
pensions of $4,000 a year to forme
J presidents and 10 their widows, b,
said. He is grieyed that criticism
should come from high government
officials who say that his offer is al
insult to American patriotism.

1t is common belief that men of

But Clarence D. Hillman, of Seattle,

Court OF the United States has re-

now he will have to serve three years
on McNeill Island, for some sharp
practice he employed in amassing the
fortune OF million or more that he
has. Hillman has always been en-
gagged in large real estate manipula-
tons. He used the mails extensively
and that's how he got tangled up with
Uncle Sam. During the past year, he
has been at liberty on 100000 bail
bond, trying to get new trial. He
has spent his money lavishly to get
free, but in vain. He is now defend
ant in suit brought against him for

For fair exchange l cannot heal the pain.
