HARDING STUDIES
BONUS PROPOSAL
Modified Plan Is Taken Under
Advisement By the
President.
Washington, D. C. President Hard
ing took under advisement the modi
fied house soldiers' bonus plan, pre
sented to him by a committee of sen
ate republican leaders. He told the
senators that he would study the pr
posal and the one to be presented by
Senator Smoot of Utah, ranking re
publican on the senate finance com
mittee, and would renew the discus
sion with them later.
The president was told, senator;
said, that it was the desire of con
gressional leaders that no additional
taxes be enacted in connection with
the bonus and that it would be im
possible to put a sales tax through
congress.
While no specific plan of financing
the bonus was presented to the ex
ecutive, it is the thought of bojhui
advocates that the legislation can b
financed out of the refunded Bntis:
bonds.
The president was asked by hi;
callers whether there was likelihoo,
of the treasury receiving the refunded
British bonds sooner than heretofore
anticipated. He was quoted as reply
ing merely that the refunding nego
tiations are in progress.
LARGE SAVING IN
GOVERNMENT COST
Washington, D. C. Government ex
penditures for 1922 will be approxi
mately $1,600,000,000 less than thf
actual outlay for the, preceding year
congress was informed by Presided
Harding in transmitting the report ol
Director Dawes of the budget on eco
nomies and savings in governmental
business.
The report of Director Dawes, made
public by the White House, is lor
submission to the house appropria
tions committee in connecticn with
pending resolution by Representative
Byrnes, democrat, Tennessee, asking
the president to inform the house in
what ways direct savings of $32,0 .
000 and indirect savings of $104,000,
000, as previously announced by the
president to have been accomplished
by the budget bureau during its first
six months of operation, had been
made.
Actual cost of the routine business
of government, the president declared
in his letter of transmission to Chair
man Madden, has been reduced by
1907,500,000, of which $250,000,000 may
be accredited to more efficient and
economic administration of the go
ernment's business.

HAY (iUOWKHS MEET
The annual meeting of the Board
man district of the- Oregon Hay
Grower's Association was held Mon
day afternoon at the school house
and a large attendance of members
were present.
Ira A. Berger, the present director
for this district made his report, and
dwelt upon the urgent need of a re
arrangement of the present unfair
plan of apportioning directors, one
district has only one member while
Boardman has forty four members,
With only one director, Mr. Berger
refused a re-election and W. A. Cobb
was named to succeed him as dire
ctor. A lengthy discussion ensued
in which nearly all members took
part, and much crltlsm of the man
agement was indulged in. Consid
erable diss ipointment was manifest
ed at the slow method of disbursing
the money for nay. Only fS.OO per
ton has been paid so far this season
and that very recently.
Not what the Association received
for hay but what the growers finally
gel for it, was declared to be the
answer to the question "Is the A. so
elation a success hers at Boardman?
So far as the Boardman members ate
concerned the que.it ion seems not to
have been satslaciorily answered
Every one would like lo see the
Association make good, but much
doubt is expressed as lo the success
im outcome.

Pekin. China's Civil war appears to
have ended with the flight of General
Chang Tso-Lin toward Mukdeu, and
the recognition by the Pekin govern
ment of General Wu Pei-Fu as master
of the military situation.
Chang Tso-Lin, who brought 100,000
troops south of the great wall, is be
lieved to have abandoned any idea of
offering Organised resistance.
Sweeping governmental changes
followed the success of General Wu
l ei l'u in winning the military mas
ti ry at Pekin,
President Hsu Shlh-Chang Issued a
mandate dismissing Premier Liaug
Slrh-Yi and ordering his arreBt.
The defeat Of General Chang is at
tributed to lack of the support he ex
peoted from the southern provinces,
the neutrality of Shantung and the
failure of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. head of
tlie southern government in Canton,
to smid an expedition northward to
operate against General Wu.
Observers here believed Chang's
sudden collapse had ended the hos
tilities. With 50,000 troops General Wu en
circled Chang Tso-Lln's forces outside
I'i kin and after 15 hours of relentless
Cannonading, machine gun fire aud
infantry charges, routed his opponent.
The routed army left behind artil
lery, munitions, horses and loaded
camels, and its wounded and dead.
The struggle was a battle between
militarism In China under the leader
ship of Chang, the most powerful mil
itary governor of the republic, and
liberalism, with Wu as Its standard
bearer.
