PRESIDENT OPPOSES
DEBT USE FOB BONUS
Dependence on Foreign Bonds
Held Unwise. .
FINANCES BIG PROBLEM
Confidence Expressed That Cnde
fcired Provision Will lie Ex
cluded From Bill.
WASHINGTON. D. C Feb. 7. Word
went out from the White House to
cay taat President Harding wal
irong'r opposed to the writing into
the soldier bonus bill of a provision
for the use of the refunded foreign
bonds in helping finance the adjusted
compensation programme.
Confidence was expressed that no
such provision would be included in
the measure.
The president was represented as
akin? the view that since the re
funding negotiations would be In
complete when the bonus bill was
passed, it would be unwise to depend
upon the foreign bonds as a source
f revenue to meet compensation
payment a. In bis talks with congres
sional leaders, he is understood to
nave Insisted that the bonus legis
lation provide definite and certain
revenue sources.
FtaaaciBs; Casiea cerm.
The ' problem of financing the
bonus Js givina; congressional lead
ers much concern. With the house
ways and means committee hearings
ended today, majority members of
the committee and the senate finance
committee plan to attack that prob
lem soon. One difficulty in connec
tlon with the drafting of the bill is
the lack of definite information as to
the cost of earning out the "five
way" plan.
This will depend upon the nam
ter of former service men who
choose the various plans. If all
take cash the cost would be approxi
mately $1,500,000,000 within two and
one-half years. The basis on which
the committeemen will work In solv
ing tha financing problems probably
will be that 50 per cent of. the men
will take cash.
Cut Payments te lie Spilt 1st.
Since the cash payment would be
ifiistributed over more than two years
with each quarterly payment during
that period equally one-tenth of the
total to be paid each applicant, many
members of concress believe a large
majority of the men will elect one of
the other lour plans. Insurance, voca
tfonal training, land settlement and
home aid. Officials of the American
Legion who have appeared before the
Jiotise committee also share this view.
Fisc&l officers of the army, navy
and marine corps have submitted
estimates to the committee that the
total 'cost of the bonus would be ap
proximately 12.600.000,000. This Is on
the basis that 60 per cent of the men
who served with the army and 75 per
cent of those serving with the navy
and marine corps will take cash.
Kavy and marine corps officers told
the committee today that the 75 per
cent figure was arrived at oi the
theory that men who served at sea
were less tied to the land than those
who served in the army.

BETTER SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
HELD CITY'S GREATEST NEED
Ten Citizens Each Ready to Contribute $10,000 Each for Five Tears,
Would Solve Problem, Says Singer.
BAIL WAGE HEARINGS

BT JOSEPH MacQL'EEX. .
ryHB om thing that Portland needs
I to make life better is to find 10
citizens who will contribute
$10,000 each for five years for a
larger, better Portland Symphony or
chestra. This opinion was expressed last
night at tha Multnomah hotel by
Madame Helen Stanley, soprano, Jfew
Tork city, who is soloist at tonight's
concert of the Portland orchestra
She has had much experience as a
soloist at concerts of the New York
Philharmonic, and the Detroit, Cleve
land and Chicago symphony orches
tras, and was keen to note general
symphony conditions, and jot only
now artistic growth was attained,
but how eastern symphony manage
ments secured the requisite funds.
- ".Symphony orchestras are not
luxuries merely for the rich." said
Madame Stanley, -but are necessary
for all citizens as a part of the fine
art that every city should have. If
we have a city wiat is noted only for
its warehouses, wharves and fac
tories without fine art features
that city is lop-sided. Take Boston.
Mass.. for instance. Whenever Bos
ton is mentioned, we think of the city
that had the magnificent symphony
orchestra in this country made pos
sible by the good citizenshiD and
munificence of the late Colonel Hig
ginson. His habit of giving taught
otner lioston men with means a les
son, and although he is dead, his ex
ample of riving for the sake of fine
arts stimulates other Boston citizens
to follow his example.
Detroit Mam Convinced.
Once at a banquet in Detroit I
happened to be seated next to a man
who happened to be one of the firm
of Dodge brothers of auto fame. I
talked music and also symphony to
him. and he declared he was pro
foundly interested. He said he saw
it was his duty to give for such a
worthy cause. Now, I don't mean to
assert that I made a symphony con
vert of Mr. Dodge, but the fact is
that shortly afterward the Detroit
symphony orchestra as we know it
today headed, by the great Gabrilo
witsch came into being through
gifts by. Detroit men Mr. Dodge
among them.
"Take St. Paul. Minneapolis. Kansas
City and Omaha four cities with
much in common which one stands
apart in education and the finer arts
of kfe? Minneapolis. Why!- Because
it is a city whose citizens have made
possible a superb symphony orchestra.
"Los Angeles also sets a glowing
example in giving for fine art. When
Dos Angeles Is mentioned, people
think of its fine symphony orchestra,
made possible by the gifts of one
man, its founder, Mr. Clark. Sym
phony in Los Angeles has raised men
tal culture and education.
Incident Sooth Recalled.
"Not long ago I was soloist at one
of five concerts, at a special attrac
tive rate, given at the Hollywood.
CaL, high school, and when about
1200 children came into the concert
hall and faced me I felt a curious

looked at me, and eager eyes stared

and women could not send out.
sang of course in Knglish, but also
in Italian and French. At the end
the concert, whole troops of these
children fairly swarmed over me, to
my secret delight.
"Young voices said: Oh, Miss
Stanley. We are in the French class
and were able to follow what you
sang in French and to translate as
you went along." Think of those
words from school children in the
moving picture city of Hollywood a
place that has been in the limelight
for other things.
"I have been in this city several
times. It Is a rich, young city whose
artistic life is yet in the making. If
Portland's art future is a steady
growth, a corresponding good effect
will be noted in the lives and habits
of its young people. A city is foolish
where the people allow their children
to run wild and to get into trouble.
with no fin art life and influence
like a symphony orchestra to guide
them. People who do not like sym
phony music are poor, though they
may have lots of money.
"I hope that Portland right now
is, and will be-, a city of giving for
the good influence of the fine arts.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Hearings on applica
tions for Increases or decreases in
wages for all classes of railway em
ployes except those in train and en
gine and yard service will be started
here March 6, the railroad labor
board announced today.
The hearings will be held simul
taneously, the board announced- for all
carriers and employes who have filed
applications on or before February 20,
At present, the board announced, 45
railroads out of 208 have filed appli
cations for wage cuts in final form
for certain classes of employes, while
15 unions, including the Federated
Shop crafts, have filed applications
ior increases. Other carriers and
other employes' organizations are
about to file applications, the board
said in a resolution passed today fix
ing the date for the hearing.
The resolution calls attention to
the fact that train, engine and yard
service employes are negotiating di
rectly with the carriers and consid
eration of applications for these
classes of employes was postponed for
this reason. It was also pointed out
that rules and working conditions for
these classes of employes must be
finally decided before wage questions
were considered, according to the
board's promise at the time of the
threatened railroad strike last Oc
tober.
The board will be able to decide all
questions of rules and working condi
tions tor the classes of emDloves af
fected by the hearings before the date
nxed ior opening of the cases, it was
said. .

decisions during the last three months

METERS WILL- CONFER TODAY
Programme of Increased Wages
and Shorter Day Billed.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Feb. 7. In
creased wages, a shorter workday and
other changes in working conditions
for soft coal miners will be consid
ered by the wage scale committee of
the United Mine Workers of America,
which tomorrow begins framing the
wage programme to be submitted to
the union convention that convenes
here one week from today.
Ihree hundred resolutions covering
score of proposals are on file at
union headquarters here and will
form the basis for the scale commit
tee's report.
The only Indication of the prospec
tive demands for the soft coal states
comes from the policy adopted' by the
union anthracite miners, whose con
vention declared for a 20 per cent
wage advance and past efforts of the
union forecast a movement to keep
the hard and soft coal fields in step
as to wages. Announcement also has
been made by Mr. Lewis and other
union officials that waga increases
will be sought to be made effective
on April 1, the day the present wage
agreements expire, but the anthracite
demand is the only formal expression
as to the amount.
The resolutions propose various de
mands as to wages a few favoring
policy of no reductions and others
declaring for advances ranging from
10 to SO per cent. A majority of the ;
resolutions, however, declare for the
six-hour day, five-day week.
Modification or abolition of the
penalty" clause of the present agree
ment, which provides for fines for
both operators and miners for in
fractions of working agreements,
also is proposed. Another question,
emphasized by the resolution, is the
granting of a referendum vote by the
miners on all .wage agreements.
association two years ago, and the
betterments made, upon it, created an
indebtedness of $32,000, and that this
now has been reduced to $3700.
It is expected this remaining in
debtedness will be wiped out within
a few months, after which the pro
gramme for a new three-tory busi
ness and lodge building will be
started.
The property comprises a half block
in the heart of the St Johns business
section, on which are five stores and
two halls, all of which-are rented.
These rentals, with the sale of stock
4n the building association, have pro
vided the fundfl with which the in
debtedness has been reduced.
At last night's meeting the former
officers were re-elected. They are;
C. H. Carter, president: E. S. Harring
ton, vice-president; F. T. Drinker,
treasure; A. W. Davis, secretary, and
these, with John M. Blair, form the
board of directors.
