COMING TOMORROW America's distinguished actor JOHN BARRY in the record-smashing' New York sensation i "The Lotus Eater" NOW SECUR R I ALTO MORE The Strange story of a man who never saw a woman v . until he was 25. With an All-Star Cast including ''...'.,.. WESLEY BARRY ANNA Q. NILSSON m COLLEEN MOORE DOG RESPONSIBLE FOR DRIVING OFF B Mrs. F. Hoy Dart, wife of the United States comnusssonT. uninten tionally swiped John F. While's au tomobile while shopping yesterday afternoon and drove to the garage at her home, thinking all the time that the car was her own and for F. Hoy to clean and oil up once every few years. Within a half hour after Mr. White discovered that his out had been stolen, as he and. everyone else thought, there was much excitement down town and Chief of Police Tim othy, at the behest of the local insur ance company agent, had wired the Yreka, Ashland and Rosebun? au thorities to be on the look out and head off the auto thief. Even as late as this morning John F. was swear ing dire vengeance on the villian who stole his car if he ever got his hand on him. and Ralph Woodford was peeking out his drug store window and snickering at White's plight, thinking W.'his own Velie ear which was stolen two weeks ago and has not turned up since. When F. Hoy Davis, who has been exceptionally careful what he does ever since last summer when he ac cidently dropped his revolver in the post office lobby, and the weapon discharged and nearly blew the left pants leg off of C. M. Thomas, went into the garage this morning to tune up the car. as usual, he came back into the house puzzled, and said to his wife: "Are you sure that is our car? It looks like it to me. but yet it don't. There is something strange about it." Then they went out into the ga rage and made a further examination. Mrs. LlavU again related that she had parked her car yesterday afternoon on the north side of West Main su. but did not find it there when she got ready to go home. On looking around further she saw what she thought was the car standing fr. front of Mordorff & Wolfs store. The little black scroot of a dog of the Davis family also was deceived and at once jumped on the running board. Mrs. Davis then drove home in the car. Mr. and Mrs. Davis finally decided that the car was not their own and notified Chief of Police Timothy that some mistake had been made. The chief recognized it as the missing White car. Then the question arose as to where the Davis car could be. The chief advired that they look for it where Mrw. Davis had first parked il. Sure enough il was there. . w hat helped to fool me." ex plained Mrs. Davis to the chief, "was the eager manner In which that dog Jumped onto the car when we hunted it." The mistake arose easily as the White and lavis cars were just alike, both I!uh k care, and well kept. Paxson Dahlias More Beautiful Than Ever The wonderful display of dahlias at the fair by Mr. and Mrs. It. H. Pax- son was one of the big attractions of the woman's building and were ad mired by everyone. The Paxson dahlias have a big reputation all over the coast as well as In many other slates. They always have an abun dance of beautiful blooms in season, but those shown at the fair this year were exceptionally fine. A visit to their garden at Central Point will be a treat to those who love flowers.

RETAIL FOOD COST i WASHINGTON", Sept. 19.

In addition to celebrating the mar riage of their daughter today, Mr. and Mrs. Sweni are celebrating the recurrence of their own wedding day, today being their golden anniversary- BODIES OF MINERS FOUND (Continued from page one) and Ticinity, was one of the 4 7 men whose lives were snuffed out in the Argonaut mine tragedy. He was a nephew of Mrs. V. H. Pelker, who lives In Polk county, near Salem. About 15 years ago Miller was en tombed for several days in a Mon tana mine. , $100,000 in Checks Mailed SAX FRANCISCO, Sept. 19. Thirteen checks, each covering four weeks' compensation, are to be mail ed today to as many widows of min ers who perished In the Argonaut mine disaster, it was announced by Claud W. Fellows, manager of the state Industrial compensation fund Checks will be mailed to the depend ents of the miners as soon as the ex tent of their dependency has been es tablished. The total compensation will exceed UOO.uOO, the weekly checks ranging from $17.50 to 151.50 each, and the individual compensation ranging from S 4.000 to $5,000. The Argonaut mine officials paid the victims' de pendents on a "three shift" or 24 hour basis for the whole time that the men were entombed. Fellows was informed. As a result the dependents of each man drew three times his usual daily pay. In addition, the company gave $10,000 to the Ama dor county Red Crc-ss for relief pur poses. '"The Argonaut disaster represents the biggest single claim on the state compensation fund in the history of the fund." Fellows said, "it leaves the fund virtually unimpaired, how ever, and as well protected as ever." VETOES BONUS MEASURE (Continued from page one) dent Harding's bonus veto message is ia part as follows: To the House of Representatives: "Herewith 5s returned without ap proval 11. R. 10.S74. a bill 'to pro vide adjusted compensation for the veterans of the world war and for other purposes." "W ith the avowed purpose of the bill to give expression of a nation's gratitude to those who served in its defense in the world war. I am in ac cord, but to Its provisions 1 do not subscribe. The United States never will cease to be grateful; it cannot and never will cease giving expr slon to that gratitude. In legislation for what is called adjusted com pen sation congress failed, first of all, to provide the revenue from which the beslowal Is to be paid. Moreover It estahhshea the very dangerous prece dent of creating a treasury covenant to pay whk h puts a burden variously lions upon tho Aiucricau poople.

It .s rtj ! ua denied that the nation 1:13 t-e;ra.n very binding obligations to thf- e of. its defenders who made real sacrifices in the world war and who left the armies injured, disabled or diseased so that they could not resume their places in the normal activities of life. These obligations are being gladly and generously met. Perhaps there are here and there inefficiencies and injustices and some distressing in stances of neglect, but they are all unintentional, and every energy is be ing directed to their earliest possible correction. Spending On Hospitalization "In meeting this obligation there is no complaint about the heavy cost. In the current fiscal year we are ex pending $510,000,000 on hospitaliza tio6 and care of the sick and wounded on compensation and vocational train ing for the disabled and for insur ance. The figures do not include the more than $35,000,004 in process of expenditure on hospital construction. "The estimates for the year to fol low are approximately S470.000.000 and the figures may need to be made larger. Though the peak in hospit alization may have' been passed there is a growth In domicilization and the discharge in full of our obligations to the diseased, disabled or dependent who have a right to the govern ment's care, with Insurance diability added, which will probably reach a to tal sum in excess of $25,000,000,000. "More than S9.000 veterans are now enrolled in some of the 445 dif ferent courses in vocational training. Fifty-four thousand of them are in schools or colleges, more than 38,000 are in industrial establishments and a few more than 6,000 are being trained in schools operated by the veterans' bureau. "Approximately 19.000 have com pleted their courses and have em ployment in all cases where they de sire it and 53,000 have deferred tor the present time their acceptance of training. The number eligible under the law may reach close to 400,000, and facilities will continue to be af forded, unmindful of the necessary cost, until every obligation is ful filled. "Two hundred and seventy-six thousand patients have been hospital ized, more than a quarter of a million discharged and 2 5.6 7 8 patients are in our hospitals today. Four hundred and sixteen awards of compensation lra been made on account of death or disability and 4 SO, 000,000 has been paid to dis abled men or their dependent rela tives. One hundred and seventy-five thousand disabled ex-service men are now receiving compensation along with medical or' hospital care where needed, and a quarter of a million checks go out monthly in distributing the eight million1 dollar payment on disputable obligations. " "I recite the figures to remind the congress how generously and how properly it has opened the treasury doors to discharge the obligations of the nation to those to whom it in disputably owes "compensation and care. Why Aid Ablebodied? "Though undying gratitude is the meed of everyone who served, it is not to be said that a material be stowal is an obligation to those who emerged from the great conflict not only unharmed but physically, men tally and spiritually richer for the great experience. "If an obligation were to be admit ted, it would be to charge the adjust ed compensation bill with inadequac) and stinginess wholly unbecoming our republic. Such a bestowal, to be worth while, must be generous and without apology. Clearly, the bill returned herewith takes cognizance of the inability of the government wisely to bestow and says, in sub stance. 'We do not have the cash, we do not believe in a tax to meet the situation, but here is our note, yon may have our credit for half its worth.' "This is not compensation, but rather a pledge by the congress. while the executive branch of the government is left to provide for pay- WOMAN TOO WEAK TO WALK t Now Works Nine Hoar a Day.

"When the bill was under consid-! era'.ion in the house I expressed the : conviction tfcit arty grant rf t-or.us cught to 1 rovide the mea:is of payir-g it and I was unable to suggest an?" , plan other than that cf a general j sales tax. Such a plan was ucaccept-'. able to the congress, and the bill hasj been enacted without even a suggest ed means of meeting the cost. In- deed, the eo3t is not definitely known, either for the Immediate fu ture or in the ultimate settlement. The treasury estimates, based on what seems the most likely exercise of the options, figures the direct cost at approximately $145,00,i08 for 1923. $225,000,000 for 1924; $114, Ouu.OOO for 1925. 312.000,000 for 1926. making a total of $795,000.0'j0 for the first four years cf its opera tion, and a total cost in excess of $4. 000. 060. 000; , - - ' Cost Can't Be Known "No estimate of the large indirect cost ever had been made. The cer tificate plan sets up no reserve 1 against the ultimate liability. The plan avoids any considerable direct outlay by the government during the earlier years of the bill's proposed operations, but the plans on the cer tificates would be floated on the credit of the nation. This is borrow ing on the nation's credit just as truly as though the loans were made by di rect government borrowing and in vokes a dangerous abuse of public credit. Moreover, the certificate plan is an acknowledgement of the inability of the government to pay which I cannot sanction. Increase Taxes "It Is worth remembering that the public credit is founded on the popu lar belief in the defensibility of the public expenditure as well as the gov- j emment's ability to par. I "Loans come from every rank in life and our heavy tax burdens reach. , directly or Indirectly, every element in our citizenship. To add one-sixth j of the total sum of our public debt ; for a distribution among less than ' five millions out of one hundred and ten millions, whether inspired by graceful sentiment or political expe-j dtency, would undermine the confi-! dence on which our credit Is bnilded. and establish the precedent of dis tributing public funds whenever the proposal and the numbers affected make it see politically appealing to, do so.

This impression ocir.es from the readiness of the pub lic respir.se to the government's ap-I-eal for funds amid the strefs of war. It is to be remembered- that in the war everybody was ready to give his all. Let us not recall the compara tively few exceptions. Persons of every degree of competence loaned and sacrificed precisely in the same ipirit that our armed forces went out for service. The war spirit impelled. To a war necessity there was but one answer, but a peace bestowal on the ex-service men. as though the supreme of fering could be paid for with cash. Is a perversion of public funds, a rever sal of the policy which exalted public Jervice in the past, and suggests that future defense is to be inspired by compensation rather than conscious ness of duty to flag and country. "The pressing problem of the gov ernment Is that of d'minishing our burdens, rather than adding thereto. It is the problem of the world. "I would rather appeal, therefore, :o the candid reflections of congress and the country and to the ex-service sen in particular as to the course better suited to further the welfare of our country.
