FEAR PENSION IDEA
WHY PLANS TO CARE FOR OUR
FORMER PRESIDENTS HAVE
NOT BEEN ADOPTED.
CARNEGIE REVIVED QUESTION
Ways and Means Committee Is Ar
ranging for Tariff Revision Hear
InGs and Will Give the Wool Seized
ule First Attention.
BY GEORGE CLINTON.

Neutrality-suspicious. Andrew Carne-
gle proposed his plan to pension ex-
presidents of the United States at the
rate of $4,000 year in order that
they might take life easier and lend
their counsel 40 private citizens to the
lawmakers of the Union, it was strong
can philanthropist had no thought that
the pension plan would be accepted,
but that its suggestion might stir con-
gress to take action looking to the
care of ex-presidents and their fam
lilies.
Almost every day now there Is
some scheme proposed either in bill
form or as mere floor suggestion for
the pensioning Of presidents of the
United States after they leave Office.
Not long before he died Grover Cleve-
land, who had money enough to live
on. but who thought of the predica-
ment in which some other former pres
idents might be If they happened to
be poverty stricken, wrote of the de-
STABILITY of providing some form Of
support for men who had served the
United States in its highest Office, and
who needed money to live in a man
ner in conformity with the dignity Of
their positions as former chief magis-
trates.
Fear Civil Pension List.
The argument In congress against
pensions for x-presidents is an old
one, and In many respects, apparently.
. perfectly proper one, that We should
have no civil pension list It has been
held that If this country once begins
to give pensions to men who have held
civil Jobs under the government, there
will be no end to It, and also that the
pension giving might be much abused.
In way this objection has nothing
to do with the preeent much discussed
plan to pay small anAnities to men
who have served TIE government an
clerks and minor ofBcfals at small SAX
aries for many years, men who have
done their work faithfully and who
have been actually nable TO save
anything against the time of want.
It always hes seemed 70 be the fear
Of congtesarnenEthAt some men with Q
pull or personal popularity who have
held some kind &c go9eEntnent Jobs for
awhile might By their induenee induce
congress to- give them pensions. There
are some civil pensions granted by the
United states. notably those given by
special acts Of congress TO the Widows
Of presidents. As . rule. howeyer,,
civil pensions haye stopped 1T this
point. and while it seems probable nov

Peoples Bank to Foster Hog Raising.


The announcement of the Peoples
National bank that it will give $75 in
gold as a means of encouraging hog
raising in Henderson county will
doubtless be receised with genuine in.
terest by the farmers.
During the past few weeks a num-
Der of fine hogs have been killed in
this county and the Clear Creek farm
ers have asserted themselves in the
way of hog raising.
The self-explanatory announcement
Of the bank follows:
I'm order that the farmers Of this
county may understand that this bank
stands ready to cooperate with them
in every way possible, we have decid-
ed to offer $4,000 in gold as first prize
and $500 as second prize, for the best
hog raised in the county during the
year 1913. Rules of the contest to be
announced later.

The Democratic members of the
ways and means committee already
are mapping out 4 scheme for tarin
hearings In order that revision bills
may be presented to the hous as soon
az the extra session which IL to be cali
ed by President-elect Wilson opens II
can be said on good authority that the
wool schedule will be given first at
tention at the hands Of the commit
tee, and probably win be the first OF
the tariff bills to be passed by the
house in next springs extra session.
Congress has not been long In ses-
sion, and yet already Speaker Champ
Clark has broken two gavels by VIC
lent use in making attempts to bring
representatives to order. There has
been no actual disorder In the house,
but only an overplus of enthusiasm
when popular leaders and popular re-
elected members generally have en-
tered the chamber The speaker feels
that it is his duty to check boisterous
enthusiasm. and so it is that two CAV
els already have been broken.
The deck in front of Speaker Clark
has a special plank let into it which
receives the blows of the gayel. This
plank. has to be replaced at the be-
ginning of every session, for it always
found to be sprung and splintered
under the heavy blows which it has
endured during the seasons ses-
sion.
CaFmi Thompson, who was Presl-
dent Tatfs private secretary during
the time that Charles d. Hilles was en-
gagged in campaign work, recently
was made the treasurer of the United
States to succeed Lee McClung, who
had held the Office for about two
years. Mr.. McClung was a Yale
man and a former football player. He
was Mr.. Taft's special choice for the
position of treasurer of the United
States, but there was a suspicion that
although an official Of the government
Mr.. McClung could take no active part
in politics, he was very kindly dis
posed to the fortunes of Theodore
Roosevelt Since his retirement, Mr.
McClung has called attention to the
fact, in. the hope probably of bringing
about reform, that the treasurer of
the United States is the only employe
of the, treasury who is under bonds to
the government, and who is held re-
sponsible for any defalcation in the de-
partment. The treasurer can be
relieved OF the responsibility for loss
only by an act of congress, and this
I'm face Of the fact that he does not
handle one cent of Uncle Sans mon
ey personally.
