Show IDEA NOT LINED BI THE federal license of corporations Is opposed by many in congress UNLIKELY TO BE MADE LAW enlon pension bill bills introduced providing for volunteer retired lit listl two cit lei lee want exposition marking the canal opening 6 washington the republican lead ere ers in c congress practically have agreed that it it can be accomplished tho the majority of the Imal resident dent a decoln ions shall be enacted into Is law at this session ees eion but there la to growing evidence that among the minority of the recommendation recommendations which bleh are to be overlooked the president a wish that a law legalizing the federal licensing of incorporations may not be fulfilled at this session in telling mr raft that it Is unI unlikely fIrely that his federal license law ig Is to fo ro through irli the tile leaders have made a tic tac il promise that at a future date ably at the next session the becom menda tlona ions shall be taken up and put through in some form it seems that the plan for the lice licensing nging of corpora eions b the federal government has aroused antagonism among some of the republicans and among a major lt it of the democrats it Is understood also that the leading republicans men who ullo ordinarily can get the rest of the party representatives in line are not overzealous over zealous in their desire that this bill shall become a law certainly not at the present time it Is impossible in the absence of any dl di statement of the reasons for their objections to tell why it Is 1 that the leaders apparently are determined to postpone action upon this p piece of legislation but it seems to bo be assured that consideration of it Is to to be postponed until a more con congeni veril ent season it has been pretty generally under stood that ship subsidy was uns to have hard balling sailing through the waters of the lower house of congress and not ery easy balling sailing through those of the up per bouse house it Is impossible of course to Jo cretell or etell just what the fate ot of sub sidy oldy will be but it seems that one senator who in the past has been the champion of subsidy this ear Is not inclined to look with favor faor upon it the senator in pi question estion is mr air arrye of maine who apparently does not think that the measure recommended by tho the president Preel dent and already introduced nto ifie me house goes any anywhere Abere near far to suit the shipping interests president taft has mended legislation of the kind but the feeling is in washington that he will not be particularly disappointed it if it does not go through althO lIgh of course its passage would mould add one more to the administration victories postal savings binks one of the most peculiar situations Is that in regard to postal savings banks much has been written about thia this matter and in the main former opinion was inas that tho the postal savings bank bill might have gleat trouble in getting sanction for itself from the leaders of both houses As everybody knows the members ot of the national monetary commission would prefer that consideration of the postal eav say ings bank bill should be put os off until after the commission has made its re port president dent taft however ho weyer Is to in sistena that postal savings bank legis lation shill sh ill bo be enacted this winter and it lu Is believed today to day that the leaders have bave agreed to accede to bis his elihee ae as they have airo alto agreed to do what be he wants them to do n the he matter of amond

before the military committee of the house of representatives there are eight principal bills intended to benefit the veteran veterans of at the civil war in several of them there la Is a specific provision for the creation ot of what ie Is called a volunteer retired list for or the civil war officers who are still living in the sixteenth congress cong reee representative senta tive beeman 0 dawes cl of ohio introduced a bill which it if it had become a law would have put all the commission d e deere of the civil war on tho t t d t hit list with month ly pay of ri d if that which they received wh they were wearing earing guards in ae the field there I 1 Is a retired list ax tr t r regular officers and the ilea 1 tea of representative dawes wa was to fe ghe to the volunteer officer officers in their old age a recognition in part at least of the value of their services as corn ni officers the question seem d to be it the regulate regu lare are paid after retirement why not do the

officers bae has been ancor borated la in several of the bill bills which am arn now before the military commit tee for action it seems probable that before long congress will pass cue one of these mauree measures and that every nan man who wore li bar a leaf an eagle or a star tar on his boulder shoulder during the civil war and who Is to alive aliv e today to day will be put on practically the same footing as officer officers ol 01 0 regular regulars who ater after long acar cars of service are retired and as a though they pro abill fighting fish ting in he the field substitute for far

of 40 10 per month each all till present pension pensions be ing abolished except in cases of total or almost total disability where here the I 1 resent urn sum paid to the disabled sol diere diers
