A Time for Common Sense.

The comparatively modest
plans for army and navy increase
which Mr.. Taft puts forth in
volve an added expenditure of
$3.50, 600, 900 a year, making the
total annual cost of the army and
navy in excess of $500, 900, 900.
The greatest revenue ever pro-
duced by the Aldrish-Payne tar
if was only $500, 100000. To
carry out Mr.. Taft's suggestions
would involve the expenditure on
the military establishment of the
United States of all the revenue
that could be raised by the high
est tariff the country ever impos-
ed, plus all the receipts from the
present income tax, plus all the
receipts from the corporation
tax.
Yet Mr.. Taft is one of the con-
servatives in the way of military
preparedness. In the minds of
the war-scare lobbyists, he can
be little better than a pacifst.
The program that he proposes
would make the total war expen-
ditures Of the United States
past and wars to come greater
than any nation ever bore in
time of peace. The program that
the war-seare lobby proposes
would bankrupt the United States
treasury, No government could
raise the revenue to support the
kind of military establishment
it demands except at the point of
a bayonet. The impudent insis-
,tence of this lobby increases
from day to day, and its opera
tons by the time congress meets
are not likely to fall short of
national scandal. World.

~ Jr.. of Philadelphia, was chairman.
"a introduced draft OF bill aimed

"a M opening the discussion Mr.. Cola
ssn declared that In his experience of
Zinc years as chairman of the Board of

fsfore the board grew out of contingent
fees
no one" he said, "pretends to ques-
eon that the contingent fee is legitimate
q that there is occasional necessity for
screpting a case on that basis, but no
nan who has any knowledge of human
nature can doubt that It Is a basic evil
snd that out of 1t grow most of the
lroubles of tho legal profession"
NJ II. Larzalere, of Norristown, con-
6rmed Mr. Colahan's remarks. ''The
rontlngent fee matter" he said, has
raised a crop of absolutely dishonorable
men in the law, who, instead of trying
a raise it's standards, are attempting to

sociation had entered publicly upon the
dIscussion of the matter, 1t could not
atop before it had shown itself ready to
safeguard the profession.
r. c. McGirr. of Pittsburgh, hotly
coposed the proposed bill. He declared
that 1t added nothing to the act recently
passed by the Legislature and asserted
that, In his experience of 35 years, there
had never been one complaint of an abuse

that the contract between client and at

sertihg that to do so would give an un-
fair weapon to the opposing attorney.
The discussion closed finally by vote
which referred the report back to the
committee.
A telegram from Governor Brumbaugh
was received this morning, appointing
