ARE GIVEN HEARING

Higher Rates on March Is and
May Reopen Case.

II was announced at the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday that the
commission would. on March IS. grant a
public hearing to presidents of express
companies. this hearing having been re-
quested by the latter with the object OF
securing a modification of the commits
sion's order which established an eX-
press zone system throughout the United
States and materially decreased rates.
The commission. after an exhaustive in
vestigation, ordered the reductions,
through the mediumship of the zone sys-
TEN prescribed. and the new system
finally went into effect in February, 1914
Since then the revenues of the express
companies have materially decreased, due
to the new rates chiefly. and also the
competition Of parcels post.
After the commission ordered a reduc-
ton Of express rates. the Postoffice De-
partment increased the weight limit of
parcels post packages. and this, II is I'M
derstOod. has cut a very important figure
in the returns of the express companies.
1t is claimed that the express COM
panies are in a position to show that
they are entitled to an increase in rates
Of at least per cent. the amount granted
in January to Eastern railroads, IL not
more. and that their detailed figures to

will induce the commission to reopen the
whole case.

VIOLATES EXISTING TREATIES.
President Signs Seamen's Bill WI ich
May Cause Treaty Abroxatious.

BY signing yesterday the measure
known as the seamen's bill. President
Wilson assumed a large responsibility
in that the new legislation Is in con-
hict with provisions of treaties in force
between the United States and prac-
tically all the civilized maritime ma
tons. pom the executive branch of
the government will fall the task of
rsCOnstracting these treaties in ac-
Cordance with the new law.
The new law upsets what has been
the practice of the United States gov
eminent for nearly a century with re-
gard TO deserters from foreign YES
sells in United States ports Practi-
cally all the treaties of commerce and
navigation provide that upon applica-
tion by an accredited consular officer.
it shall be the duty of the proper
judicial authorities to order the ap-
prehension of deserving seamen of the
vessel of the nationality which the
consular officer represents.
Laws have been enacted by Congress
to carry into effect these treaty pro-
visions. Both the laws and the treaties
become imperative with the new legis-
latiou going into effect.
Most of the treaties contain provi-
sIons for their sbrogation upon one
years. notice. 1t is expected the first
step taken by the United States gov
eminent will be to serve notice to the
governments having such treaties with
this government that the new law is in
Confiic. with the treaty provisions and
that the United States desires, there
fore. to abrogate them.

CONVERSATIONS IN CONGRESS
ARE COSTLY TO TAXPAYERS;
fITZGERALD'S BROW CLOUDS

The American Taxpayer may have been
bored in the past two years with the
avalanche of language let loose by the
Congress that came to an end yester-
day. He will be positively annoyed
when he finds what these Converse
tons" TO employ a diplomatic term,
cost him in dollars and cents. 1t is csti-
mated that the Sixty-third Congress-
which was dominated by the Democrats
authorized appropriations that foot up to
the total of $2.2I0.O0O.O0O. 1t is known
that the first session OF the Congress
authorized an appropriation OF sl116 600. =
900. The general expectation is that
when the figures are tabuiated il will he
shown that the appropriations for the
recent session were about $S.OoOOOo in ex-
cess of that amount. The cost, there
fore, to the taxpayer for every word
uttered in the late Congress was around
SlI.
Representative John ]. Fitzgerald, of
New York, chairman OF the Committee on
Appropriations. appeared to be In a wor-
ried state of mind to this when he was
questioned about the expenditures of the
session. His brow was furrowed like a
corrugated iron cornice as he went over
mass of tables that confronted him on
his office desk. II am not prepared to
say just now how the appropriations will
loot up said Chairman Fitzgerald II
will give out the totals on Friday or
early next week.
The late Congress was prodigal in max
ing appropriations. Such men as Mr..
Fitzgerald. who were responsible for
making the budgets, voiced a word of
warning now and then. but few members
took Mr.. Fitzgerald seriously President
Wilson wrote Chairman Fitzgerald a let
ter congratulating him on trying to keep
a tight hold on the purse strings, but
when the estimates came up they were
bigger than ever
