Senator McCumber.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 Enactment
of soldiers' bonus legislation at this
session of congress is demanded by
every precept ot financial justice and
every principle of political honor,
Chairman McCumber of the finance
committee declared today in opening
senate debate on the amended house
hill with Its bank loan certificate pro
vision in lieu of the original proposal
for a cash bonus.
Asserting that the term "bonus" was
a misnomer, Senator McCumber said
the purpose was to equalize in a mea
sure the pay of the men called to the
colors with that received by those who
stayed at home and profited by what
he characterized as a "wild, drunken
orgy of extravagance that accompanied
tho war."
Show Good Faith
The finance committee chairman
told tho senate the time had come for
congress to show that it was not at
tempting to play politics with the
American soldier, that It was acting in
good faith when it passed the first
bonus just before the olections in 1920.
"The president in his campaign of
1020 declared himself in favor of some
kind of a soldiers' compensation bill
he continued, "the republicans both In
the house and on the floor of tho son-
ate have reiterated their intention to
mnke good these promises. They were
made in good faith, and that good faith
will be manifested by the vote on this
measure."
Business Is Better
Referring to the position taken by
President Harding and Secretary Mel
lon last year when the executive asked
tlie senate to defer action on th bonus
bill because of the then financial con
dition of the treasury, Senator McCnm
her requested that they now view the
legislation "in the light of present day
conditions."

Charging that President Harding
had broken faith with the striking

get a Job as constable Or dog catcher

The president, bhUT Mr. Hoaly, after
making his first poaco proposition
nsking the carriers to take back the
strikers with seniority unimpaired
promised a committco of union men
that ho "would use tho big stick" to
niako tho railroads accept. Instead
tho labor leader said, "tho other fel

turned down by tho carriers, offered
a second suggestion that the men be
taken back and the matter of senior
ily left to tho labor board to set
tle. "Ijmt Friday," Mr. Healy continued
"tho president In a speech to con

he was unable to settle the strike.
"Teddy Koosevelt wouldn't have

sion nnd that the mayor und the

An ordinance creating a city plan

Why I.ciiKUo Slartctl
Mr. Turner explained tbut the
birth of Hie Non-I'artlsan loaguo was
a rusult of the dissatisfaction of the
North Dakota farmers with grain
prices which they received nnd which
were regulated by the Minneuiwlls
Chamber of Commerce. The farmers
proposed the construction of a ter
minal grain elevator by tho stato so
that they might hold their grain for a
higher price. lOlghly-threo per cent
ot tho voters of the Btiilo voted for
the elevator In l!ll(i. Tho lill'i ses
sion of tho legislature killed tho pas-
sago of the provision for the elevator
as many of tho members or that body
thought that only one olevator would
havo practically no effect upon the
