Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
OFF for Burns, the JudBO acting
aa pilot and the commissioner
serving as first mate. This writer Is
supercargo In the back Beat.
THIS la familiar country to the
first mate, for he bought cattle
all over It In the early days. But It
has changed.
"If anyone had told us then." he
says, "that the time would come
when we would travel from Klamath
Tails to Lakevlew In a little or two
hours and from Lakevlew to Burns
In three to four hours, we would have
had him examined for hla sanity."
The world moves, doesn't It? What
do you reckon the next generation
will bring forth?
THE winter of 1889-90, he says, waa
the hard winter to which people
still look back.
He was ranching that year In the
Horsefly district, and after every
storm the enow would drift so hard
the cattle could walk over It. By
spring, some of the drifts were 25 feet
deep.
Last winter wasn't much of a win
ter, waa it?
SPEAKING of" cattle reminds the
Judge of a story.
AH Indian up on the reservation
came Into the atore one day and
wanted to trade a steer for a sack of
augar. The storekeeper agreed, but
first made an excuse and sneaked
out to take a look at the steer. He
found it waa a weazened little runt.
So he came back and put about
five pounds of augar In a Back and
handed it to the Indian, who looked
at it -and grunted: "Damn little
sugarl" M .
Whereupon the storekeeper re
sponded: "Damn little steer."
AND this one Is Bert Snyder's: .
Out in the cattle country, where
men are men, dinner time la a big
event, and when the cook hammera
on' the wagon tire and hollera: "Come
and get ltl" there la a wild rush.
Starting this rush to the chuck
wagon one day, one of the cowboys
lipped in a mud puddle and fell.
He got up, scraped the mud off his
pants, looked hungrily after the rest
of the crew, muttered disgustedly:
"Aw hell, it's no use now I" and turn
ed back.

a lobby sleze on congress for passage
of a measure to pay In full the ad
Justed service certificates of ex-soldiers,

capital.
WASHINGTON. July 13. (AP)
While several thousand veterans clus
tered about the capltol a new bill
was brought forward today calling for
Immediate payment of the bonus to
those in need.
The measure waa prepared by Rep
resentative Patman (D., Texas) and
patterned along the lines of a peti
tion presented yesterday by a group
of bonus marchers from California.
Patman estimated It would require
a billion dollars. The provisions by
which the need of the veterans would
be ascertained would be laid down by
the veterans bureau.

after dawn today and started a
march for the capltol from their
Anacostia camp on the District of
Columbia outskirts.
Police reported that the men. In
Washington for several weeks seek
ing Immediate cash payment of their
bonus certificates, were orderly.
No interference was planned by
the authorities unless an emergency
arose.
The war veterans swung Into their
five-mile march under a sun already
hot to Join hundreds of other former
soldiers who had spent the night on
the capltol grounds.
The men arrived in straggling lines.
For the most part they came in
groups of a dozen and half dozen.
Most of them said they came "to
see what's going on."
There was no Indication that the
veterans planned an organized effort
to enter the capltol Itself.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13. (AP)
Frank H. Buck, president of the Cal

today Informed Paul Shoup, presi
dent of the Southern Paclfio railway,
that California growers and shippers
of fresh fruits were willing to per
mit railroads to Increase the time of
transit If carriers will agree to re
duce freight rates.
The league last month asked rail
roads for an emergency reduction in
freight rates from $1.73 to $1.44 per
hundred pounds. Shoup had Indicat
ed there was little possibility of
granting the request.
"The situation has become ao des
perate for growers and ahlppera of
the state's fresh fruits that we are
willing to offer almost any sort of a
concession In order to make possible
continuance In business," Buck said.

Lower Branch Approves Bill
As Favored by President
Hoover Garner Breaks
Tie Vote On Amendment
WASHINGTON, July 13. P The
house today passed the $2,122,000,000
bill, drafted along lines approved by
President Hoover.
A few minutes before passage,
Speaker Garnet -cast the deciding
vote and broke a tie on the Ralney
amendment to force the reconstruc
tion finance corporation to file
monthly reports on all loans made
under the new relief bill. He voted
for the amendment.
The roll-call on the Ralney amend
ment before the speaker cast hla bal
lot was 160 to 160.
Representative JSfnell of New York,
minority leader, demanded a recapit
ulation of the vote. It was the same.
In passing Its own relief measure,
the house thrust aside the senate's
relief bill, passer last night, because
of President Hoover's objection to
some phases.
The record vote on passage of the
bill was 206 to 46.
The chief difference between It and
the one vetoed Monday by President
Hoover Is that it lacks the provision
permitting the reconstruction corpor
ation to lend to Individuals. Also,
the requirement for the corporation
to make public Its loans was not In
the first bill.
In other essentials. Including the
sections providing $300,000,000 for re
lief to needy states and $322,000,000
for publlo building, the two measures
are similar.
WASHINGTON. July 13. Up) The
Norbeck emergency farm relief bill
was passed today by the senate and

The Norbeck bill was approved by
the senate without a record vote and
very little debate.
The measure provides the farmer
shall be paid, In addition to the do

charge equal to the tariff schedules
on wheat and hogs and five cents

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jul 13. (AP)
Llbby Holman came home today to
seek sanctuary behind w.hat cloak of
privacy her family could throw about
her.
Hurrying from a train at Claire,
Ohio, 13 miles from town, with rela
tives clustered about her, she sped
by auto to the home of a sister In
suburban Wyoming, wnlle a small
crowd of curious waited vainly at the
downtown station.
Although there was no suggestion
as to the plans of the Holman family,
the supposition prevailed that the
widow of Smith Reynolds, slain to
bacco heir, would remain In Wyoming
few days, then go elsewhere, per
haps to the mountains, to seek re
covery from the shock and strain of
her husband's death at Winston-Sa
lem, N, C, a week ago, and the long,
close Interrogation that followed.
It waa a crushed and fearful Llbby
that reached home today. There was
no smiling and bowing to those who
had seen her grow to precocious
youth, and seen her professional de
but on the stage. Instead, there was
Just a glimpse of a heavily cloaked
girl, face covered, head lowered, aa her
lawyer-father half pushed, half car
ried her from the steps of the railway
car to an automobile across the rural
station platform, and then a quick
succession of relatives mother, bro

3ays:
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., July
12. A nap in Chicago cost me
the presidency. Now I find
while I waa down in Texas try
ins to rope a calf my namesake
in Oklahoma brought home the
bacon. Well, I am fqr him. Ho
hag shown more ingenuity al
ready than any candidate I
ever heard of. They are trying
to "hog" him out of it now.
Well, that's politics for you.
They say that he was a Repub
lican eight years ago. My good
ness, the whole state of Okla
homa was Republican just four
years ago, so he saw what was
coming four years before they
did. I tell you this bird is
stnnrt. In fact he will be plum
out of plnco in congress so let's
all get behind "Will Rogers for
congress." Yours,
