BONNER'S IDEA.
Ex-Presidents Should Not Be Compelled
to -Practice Law.
New York. Jan. i J3. L. Bonner, of
Montana, In the course of a conversxtlea
made the suggestion last night :hait every
e president of The Vnt'el States should
be sent to the senate. Mr. Bonner
who i on his way to Italy, is one of the
wealthiest crtiiwis of Montana, where
he has large mlnln?, agricultural and in.
dustrial Interests, said:
"There fs one thing tha.t should be set
tled, and that (s the term of presidents
and the treamme-nt of them when their
terms expire. I Oiiink a president ought to
be elected for a term of eight years, and
then be ineligible or re-election. ITpoa
his retirement I Think 'he should be placed
upon a pen-"ion ertal to one-half of tne
Jaliiry he drew vs president. Thus he
wwul.l e,nt-r Into oftk-e practically unfet
tere.1 and would not have to trim poltN
ically or otherwise, toward the future.
It dies not seem ro m- that an ex-presl.
.lent should be comp!l.il to go to it small
town land practice laiv for a living. I
think he shou'.d be s-nt to the senate to
r main aa long ad he lives. His knowi.
exlg of the affairs of .he nation would be
extremely beneflctnl lo that body."
