Soliier bonus legislation promises to be a thorn in theside of the legis lator judging from present indica tions and the unofficial expressions of various members of the legisla ture. In the first place the American Legion is widely divided over the question with in its own ranks. From what may be gleaned of the general state of. mind of the i members of that organization the older and mat conservative members are i opposed to the state providing for or assuming the burden of a cash bonus while the younger members of the or ganization want a bonus to be paid them and; in a lump if it can be so arranged WltL MEET TONIGHT Tonight a meeting has been called at which the members of the house. Repre sentatives Marsh, Hammond.

The Portland post started the bonus controversy some time afio by going on record in favor of such a plan and ap pointing a committee to put the ques tion up to the Multtiomiah delegation, not as an expression of j the sentiment of the state, organization, but of the Multnomah post. The tate association lias not consid ered the matter and it is scheduled that the state executive committee will be called to meet in Salem in the near fu ture to determine its stand, and to com municate its findings to the military committee of the senate and house. . - There are two divergent views now being expressed.

Harding Plan Simplicity In Inaugural To Be Followed By Jack Itojio Marion Ohio,- Jan. 11. I. N. S.) Confidence, was expressed at Harding headquarters todays that the request of President-elect Harding Tor a simple inaugural celebration j would be complied with immedi- j ately. The message sent by Senator Harding toSenator Knox and Edward B. Mc Lean, chairman of the congressional in augural committee and the national in augural, committee, left no doubt aa to the decided stand taken by the next, president against any extra -preparation or expenditure for this event. It is known that Senator Harding has felt considerable concern, as the plans for the inaugural celebration have de veloped and that his own preference, many times expressed, has always been for an exceedingly simple atid unpreten tious ceremony.: . la addition he has felt keenly "it is asserted, that any undue - expenditure either by the federal government, the states or by individuals, would ill-con form with the plans for economy and elimination of waste, on which he has" laid so much stress. To these considerations were added reports of exorbitant charges planned for accommodations and points of vant age In Washington. His wishes in the matter, it was pointed out at headquarters, were made perfectly plain in his message to Sen ator Knox in asking orni&sion of the parade and ball. He said : "It would be most ' pleasing to me to have this ceremony take place-within the capitol or on the east jjprch with out a single extra preparation for the occasion. This will require no expense and we will be joint, participants in an example of economy as well as sim plicity which may be helpful in the pro cess of seeking j our normal ways oni, COMMITTEE CANCELS ALL PLAXS FOR INAUGURATION Washington,' Jan. 11.
