a2 PAGE TEN REFUNDING Ot HAY AOAD BOND OoUE DELAYED Engineer’s Report on Chicago-Milwaukee Is Awaited. NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—Plans for the refunding of about $48,000,000 of the bonds of the Chicago, Mil- waukee and St. Paul Railway com- pany, maturing June 1, are being held in abeyance, pending the re- port, during March 15, of the en- gineering firm of Coverdale and Col- pitts, which is making an independ- ent physical examination of the property, President H. E. Byram announced today on his arrival from Chicago. While declining to make any pre- dictions of the form of the refund- ing program, undoubtedly one of the biggest railroad financial problems confronted bankers in re- rs, Mr. Byram declared that well pleased with the condition of the property as he saw it on his recent trip over the sys- tem with the engineers. Mr. Byram is optimistic over the earnings outlook for his road. The January report, which will make its appearance in a day or two, will show a good gain in net over last year. Fet y, 1924, was the best of February on record, he said, and this February's gross business will not equal it, but there has been & substantial saving in operating ex- penses this year, which will permit a favorable comparison in net earn- ings. Frequent criticisms that the elec- trification of 650 miles of the rail road had proved extremely expensive and unprofitable, are answered in a report of the cOmparative cost of electrical and steam operation on the Rocky Mountain, Misoula and coast division, just issued, which shows that the total net sayings in electrical operation for the years 1916 to 1924, $12,400,007 or more than one half the cost of the total electrification investment. The net savings shown are obtained by de- ducting from the savings in operat- ing expenses, the carrying charges of interest and depreciation on the additional investment required by the electrification Bill to Waive Grazing Fees Passes Senate WASHINGTON, Feb, 26.—A bill which would authorize the secretary of Agriculture to waive grazing fees on national forest lands in draught Stricken regions of the west and southwest was approved today by the house agricultural committee.

By DAVID LAWRENCE, (Copyright, 1925, Consolidated Press Association) WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—More and more ‘reasons accumulate daily to indicate to President Coolidge the necessity of vetoing the legislative appropriation bill carrying increases for members. of congress. Letters and messages to the presi- dent reveal that the issue involvel has’ not been lost on the country at large. Business men who do not think this is the time for an example to be set by the government in in- creasing wages think the economy program of thé president will be punctured if he signs the measure, Mr. Coolidge, in wrestling with the problem, significantly sent the bill to the director of the budget. Tho item was not Inserted originally by the budget bureau. Item after item for worthy causes has been rejected heretofore because it was not orig- inally within the budget. The mem- bers of congress not only have gone beyond the budget but they have re- fused to go on record individually so as to indicate the true responsibil- ity of the majority in the senate and the house, Mr, Coolidge does not know wheth- er the Republican party {s standing sponscr for the measure, thus afford- ing a basis of attack by the Demo- crats, or whether both parties are so deeply involved as to prevent a par- ty issue from being made of the sal- ary increase. Some suggestions are advanced that the president might veto the bill on the ground that he did not wish to have the salaries of members of his cabinet increased. This would leave it to congress to decide wheth- er, in re-passing the bill, their own salary increases would be retained. An effort to force a record vote might be made at such a time. The president plainly does not like the salary proposal, ‘but feels that he ought not, in a sense, interefere with what congress dces on such a delicate issue. If, however, there are no-funds for the increase provided in the budget, he has the executive privilege of vetoing the measure on the ground that the funds are not available, Perhaps the, most embarrassing feature of the whole question, as it is said to le in the president's mind, is the era of extrayagance which might be ushered in if the measure is signed. Other appropriations could not easily be opposed by con- gress if its own pay were voted in creased. Mr. Coolidge hopes that the psychology of the country which, at the moment, favors economy will not be adversely affected by what con- gress does. The house has added to the awk- wardness cf the situation by the pro- posal that one of the deficiency bills now pending provide for an increase in the calary of Representative Ever- ett Sanders, who is to become Presi- dent Coolidge’s' secretary after March 4. Mr. Sanders begged the house to reject the proposal as a per- sonal fayor. To veto the legislative appropriation bill, with its salary increase for congress and yet to sign the defictency bill carrying an in- crease in pay for its own private sec- retary would, to use the political ver- nacular, put Mr. Coolidge in a hole. If he signs the legislative appropri- ation bill even with a statement of protest he will be in the same posi- tion with respect, to the deficiency bill shoujd it, on reaching him, con- tain a provision to raise the salary of his own secretary. They are saving money on pencils and erarers at the White House and government departments are being asked to cut down on every kind of expense. Mr. Coolidge thinks mem- bers of congress deserve an increase in pay but he isn’t at all sure that the rest of the country thinks so, especially after the doubtful record of the last.session and present ses- sion of congress.
