Pension Practices Of France.

France, where it is the custom to
pay pensions TO the descendants Of
original pensioners until the line ex-
pires, still pays pension to the
D'Assas family, whose forefather
sacrificed his life on the eve OF the
battle of Klosterkamp In 1880, to
keep the French army from being sur
prised. 1t also pays rs pensions that
date from the first empire. To La
B0ssiere de ChambOrd was paid 5000
livres a year until his death few
months ago, because dauphin OF
France killed one of his ancestors.
and until recently II paid pension
to the descendants Of Montcalm. But
the tremendous pension list. which Is
the more surprising because of the
traditional thrift of the French, now
has attracted the attention Of econom-
icai legislators and is likely to be
much curtalled.

G. 0. ?. FRAMES
ACT SECRETLY
Democrats Barred From Hear
ing On Provisions in New
Tariff Measure

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE House
policy of assessing tariff duties on
the basis of American valuation OF
imported merchandise was accepted
by Republican members of the SEN
ate Finance Committee today, al
though they failed to reach an agree
ment on details Of the programme.
Republicans acted alone on the
question, the Democratic members
being ushered out of the meeting in
accordance with what was said to
be custom.
Determination of the details went
over to tomorrw, but before further
moves are made the Republican
members of the House Ways and
Means Committee will be called in
for an informal discussion" of the
changes, which the Finance Commit
tee Republicans have approved. This
conference, it was said, was ar
ranged in order to avoid possibp
conflict between the two~bouses.
The decision to establish the COM
mittee policy in Republican confer
ence" brought protests on the Sem
ate floor during the day from Sena-
tor F. Mel. Simmons, North Caro-
lima, ranking Democratic member of
the committee, and Senator William
II. Kin. Democrat, Utah.
Secrecy Is Charged
Ms. Simmons declared his Repub-
lican colleagues were taking testi-
mony in secret, and that no record
was being made so that other men,
bers of the committee would never
know what had happened. He
charged that customs experts were
being heard and that it was "a seri-
Gus matter" to exclude the minority
members.
Mr.. King said the situation called
for 1.-THE severest condemnation"
adding:
1T is well known fact that all
kinds of interests are here trying to
prostitute this bill, / don't want it
written by the dye or other monopo-
lies"
In addition to the customs experts
who, Chairman Boies Penrose said,
merely were carrying out insuruc-
tons of the Republicans in drafting
changes in valuation sections. Sec
rotary Herbert Hoover was before
the committee today.
The latter suggested that an
amendment should be added which
would take care of the countries
whose currency has deprecated. The
customs experts who. Mr.. Simmons
said, were testifying in secret, had
been heard extensively in open ses-
sions, according to Mr.. Penrose.
