$17,900 Premium
Ten million of the $30,000,000
llate bond issue to be used, by the
Mt bonus commission in ad
,acing loans and cash bonuses to
,1-service men of the state, were
(Olj to Ralpn ScbneelocK ot fori
Mdon his bid of 4.48 per cent
with a premium of ?1T.900 this
morning when the bids were open
ed in the office of Captain Harry
jrambaugh, secretary of the state
tan. commission.
The selling of the bonds does
lot mean, however, that the loans

mrk of printing to be done and
It fill perhaps be five weeks at
the least before the first appllca
u'ons received by the bonus com
mission can be issued cash or

Bur Sum Saved State.
Figured on the same basis of
.it per cent at which one-third
ol the total issue was sold this
morning, the commission believes
that by waiting it has saved the
state $7,312,500 over a twenty-
year period in interest alone, pro
viding it can sell the remaining
(20,0 0 0,0 0 0 worth of bonds on
the same basis.
While it was not stated by the
commission this morning as to
what its policy will be in the fu
ture regarding the sale of the re
maining bonds, members were ad
vised by bond house representa
tives that more competition could
be aroused In financial circles- of
fering a smaller issue for sale,
since there are few concerns in
the country who are able to bid
on an issue of $10,000,000.
Bid Sets Record.
The bid- this morning has not
teen equalled in amount by any
other bid in the state of Oregon
since 1919.

To kegotiate
Big Loan Here
Washington, Jan. 16. The
American government has noti
fied Cuba that she may negotiate
a loan of $5,000,000 in the United
States but ' that the conclusion
of the further loan of $50,000,000
suggested by Cuba will depend
upon the ability of the Msland
authorities to reduce further the
Cuban budget, it was said today
at the fctate department.
New York, Jan. 16. A $7,000,
000 temporary emergency loan to
the Cuban government in all prob
ability will be announced by J.
it was learned in Wall Street to-
P. Morgan & company tomorrow,

ington that the state department
had approved such a loan.
American bankers, it was stat
ed, have dropped consideration of
the proposed $50,000,000 loan un
til conditions in Cuba take a more
satisfactory aspect. -
Girls' Glee Club
To Make Concert
Tour of 10 Days
For the first time in the history
of Willamette university the girls
glee club will make a tour. Here
tofore the farthest the girls have
gotten has been to Portland, and
this for a one concert trip. This
year Manager Helen Mclnturf has
secured contracts that will enable
the girla to make a trip lasting for
ten days.
Her first effort was to take the
girls upon a tour south. After re
peated writing to southern towns
she was forced to abandon that
idea and try for contracts north
as far as Astoria. Northern tours
are difficult to make unless the
club can stay on the road long
enough to cover the eastern part
of Oregon and Washington. Dates
were, however, secured, including
one in Portland.
The girls will, leave homo upon
Thursday February 9 and return
Monday, February 20. Thus they
are leaving before the' men's club
gets back.' but the boys return be
fore the girls do. Both clubs will
give concerts in Salem after their
respective tours.

BILL GETS
APPROVAL
Mellon's Objections
Minor Provisions oi
Act Upheld; Demo
crats Opposed
Washington, Jan. 16. The al
lied debt funding bill was ap
proved today by the senate fi
nance committee after more of
the provisions objected to by Sec
retary Mellon of the treasury de

Democratic members of the com
mittee voted against the bill in
its perfected form.
Provisions which were stricken
out called for semi-annual interest
payments and for interest at a
rate of not less than 6 per cent.
Under the provisions, Interest
payments would have fallen due
within six months after the re
funded bonds had been negotiated
where the treasury desires to
have the authority to defer inter
est payments in the case of some
countries not in a position to be
gin making those payments with
in possibly within a year or two.
The provision limiting the life
of (he bonds to be accepted from ;
the foreign goxrnments to 25
years remained in the bill. The
measure set up a commission with
authority, subject to the pproval
of the president to refund or con
vert and to extend the time of
payment of the principal or the
interest or both.

be supreme of the commission,
the other members to be appoint

tion as it has on the financial af

those governments for military
purpose?.
Development of
Oregon Problem
Salem Men Told

from residents of Oregon and
those of her neighbor states, is in

B. Dodson, general manager of
the Portland chamber of com
merce, told Salem business men at
their regular Monday noon lunch
eon at the Commercial club to

worked on for a long while in the
future before a comprehensive
plan for its solution is adopted.

throw him in close touch with the
port of Portland, dwelt briefly on
the shipping activities of Oregon
and Washington.

HOSPITALS GROW
RICH AT EXPENSE
OF WAR VICTIMS
Men Who Might Be Cured Sent to Institutions
Not Equipped, to Care for Them Is Charge
Voiced by Disabled Soldiers In Memorial
Presented To President Harding
Washington, Jan. 16. Asserting that the more than 3,500
mentally disabled former service men now placed in state
institutions were victims of such "gross neglect, indifference
and profiteering as constituted a black reproach on the honor
of the nation," the disabled American veterans of the world
war, in a memorial presented today to President Harding,
urged immediate action by the government looking to the
treatment of all such cases in federal institutions.
Neglect of these oases in
said, is committing to permanent insanity, many of the
victims who by timely treatment probably would be cured.
Describing the condition of"
"contract" cases of this class in
the ; institutions of the state of
Ohio as typical of those in "prac-l
tically every state," the memorial
asserted they had "farmed out
the insane ex-service men of Ohio
to state asylums which are no
toriously over-crowded, under
manned and inadequately , equip
ped to treat and care for them,"
while it has not provided one fed
eral institution tor this purpose
in the state.
Sleep on Floor.
The Longview asylum of Ham
ilton county, Ohio, the memorial
said, "is so over-crowded that 240
inmates sleep on the (i'loor like
cattle every night."
Of the mentally disabled placed
in all the institutions of the state,
of whom, it was said, physicians
believe half might be cured by
treatment, not one, the memorial
asserted, was receiving medical
treatment of any kind for the
mental diseases, and curable case3
are being daily doomed to perir.u
ment insanity."
None of the institutions, it was
said, segregate their tubercular
patients. -
Hake $300 on Each.
An average profit of J 3 00 on
each patient out of the $647.50
annual maintenance fee paid by
the government was shown in
figures for the nine Institutions
of the state cited in the memor
ial. .
In hundreds of cases, it was as
serted, relatives are refusing to
commit mentally disabled veter
ans who might be restored to use
ful citizenship, to conditions in
the "contract" asylums, most of
which the memorial said, "are
nothing more than lockups."
Congress was urged to take
early action' to remedy the situa
tion. Car Is Damaged.
Mother And Son

Mrs. Carl Nehren, 647 South
Commercial street, was badly
bruised and her small son bus

Steel Trust
May Operate
Ships, Report
Washington, Jan. 16. The
right of the United States Steel
corporation and Its subsidaries to
operate steamships by way of the
Panama canal Is upheld in a ten-,
tative report submitted today to
the interstate commerce commis
sion by the examiner designated
to take evidence. The examiner'
report, If sustained by the com
mission, will settle the contro
versy hinging1 about that point.
Steamship lines operating
through the canal attacked the
steel corporation's right to partic
ipate in the business on the
ground that it wa8 also owner ol
a number of railroad lines, somej
of which are engaged In transoon
tinental traffic. Railroad lines 89
engaged are prohibited by lat
from entering Into direct competi
tion with ships in the canal trade.
The examiner decided that
none of the corporations' railroads
could be considered competitors
for transcontinental business and
that the ownership of merchant
vessels by the manufacturing In
dustry had not been forbidden by
congress,
