HARDING'S VIEWS ON MEASURE ARE WANTED Ultimate Cost of New Plan Estimated by Joseph S. McCoy, Actuary WASHINGTON, May 2. The soldier's bonus problem is to be put up to the president again. l nis was decided today at a meeting of the senate ' finance committee Republicans who agreed .tentatively upon details of new measure embodying sub stantially the house bill plan of bank and government loans on ad- usted service certificates in lieu of the original 'cash bonus pro posal. Harding's View Wanted Senators said they desired to get the president's views on the newest bonus proposal, explaining that it would be a waste of time to go ahead with a measure which the president might disapprove. Full . details of the new meas ure were withheld, but as outlined It' would contemplate no taxes and aside from adjusted service cer tificates, it would provide for vo cational training, farm and home aid, and cash payments to veter ans whose adjusted service pay would not exceed $50. The so called reclamation section of the house bill has been eliminated. Heavy Burdens Denied President Harding will be urged to approve the measure in this form and Will be told that it will impose no heavy burdens on the treasury during the next three years, while the present public debt refunding operations are-in progress. It is the present thought of pro ponents that the ultimate neces sary financing can be done by use of the foreign debt, though there is; a possibility that the : treasury may have to issue certificates of indebtedness to cover eost in the first year or two, unless funds from the foreign! debt I become available meantime. Estimates are Given Estimates given to the majority today by Joseph 8. McCoy, the government actuary, placed the ultimate cost of the new bonus plan at approximately $4,000,' 00,000, with the first year costs 177,090,000; the second year $92,000,000; the third year $73, 000.000 and the fourth year $376,000,000. The large sum necessary In 1926 is explained by reason of the fact that the gov ernment would make loana on the certificates in that yearupto 80 per cent of the amount of the ad justed servlee credit, plus Inter est at 4 1-2 per cent. During the first three years banks would be authorized to loan to veterans holding certifi cates, one-half of the sum of ad justed service credit. William B.

BIG ELECTRIC SIGN FORMALLY DEDICATED Coast Supervisor Cross Ur ges Cooperation by Sa lem Citizens Salem Kiwanls club is patting itself on the head for its Solo monic wisdom in endorsing the Salem Indian school to the Indian service and to President Harding and to the world at large and rubbing itself gingerly on Its ten- derest and most vulnerable part its stomach for having tried to eat all the good things served at the Indian school last night, when the club was the collective gnest of Comrade and Mrs. liar wood Hall. The Indian school is a delight ful place these-days; with the no ble trees and the beautiful lawns and the groves of blossoming fruit trees and the acres of happy. helpful children racing over the landscape after their busy day9 work in field and shop, and school room and kitchen. Also it is a pure and undefiled gem In its ideals and In what it gives to the children who come from so many dark and hopeless homes, to climb up to the light of enlightened Americanism. And it is a place for a square meal fit for the gods. with trimmings. Dinner Was Immense The dinner served the guests. prepared by the domestic science department of the school. Is rated by the fastidious guests to be about the finest thing of its kind in the history of the Willamette valley. That is taking in a lot of territory but it's the gospel truth. The Indian maidens know how to prepare such a spread and they do it with all the charm of artists which wish to be appre ciated for their artistic accom plishments. Some people think that to be great, one must write a wonder ful book, or grow a bushy head -of Circassian hair, or fight or swear or steal in a surpassing manner but the girls who made the soup served at the Chemawa banquet have performed a greater service to humanity, say the Klwanians The Chemawa system , of teacb ing the things that teally eount like making good soup and wear ing napkins and being respectful and clean and delightfully plear ant and growing up to good clti Zens has the profoundest en dorsement of the Kiwanls club. Program Presented Besides the wonderful dinner the guests were given some real thrills by the Indian students who presented several literary and mu steal numbers. An octette of rir' sang Rubenstein's "Spring Song in a manner to make spring seem as real as their own fresh, sweet voices. There are some excellent voices In the number; voices tb" would be the dearest nrlze of many a white eirl. in xy station of life. And they have never hart real training: they have had excel lent teaching as beginners, but the top artistry of voice culture has not been available. That the government could see these girls growln up into womanhood, without the privilege of federal tuition and support higher than the tenth grade, is truly a trage dy. The Kiwanls club has stren uously supported the move to fn crease the course of study at Che mawa, up to at least the full high school finish, and give these In dlas youths a chance to get up to where their talents beckon them Indians Are Musical The quartet of boys, soldierly looking lads in uniform, sang two excellent numbers, their voices showing excellent quality and range. Whoever said that the Amercan Indian is not musical, did not know; they have wonderful capa city for musical interpretation. Rose Grey, who will graduate this year from Chemawa. rendered two Indian dialect - readings that took, the house by storm.
