By PAUL MAM.ON.
(Copyright. 1935, by Paul .Mallon)
WASHINGTON, May 8. Recent
confusing moves on the bonus are
likely to become more confusing be
fore they get
simpler.
This because
several of tne
most Influential
forces behind the
bonus have ft
planned strategy.
They have been
working on It lor
the past few
weeks. It calls
for the senate to
pass the Vinson
bill, approved by
the American Le
PAUL MALLON
gion. The house will drop the Pat
man btll, approved by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars. The Vinson bill
will then be finally adopted by, con
gress and promptly vetoed by Presi
dent Roosevelt. His veto wS.1 be sus
tained by the senate, whereupon thu
Harrison compromise will be taken
up. adopted by congress and ap
proved by the president.
It may not work out exactly that
way. but. that Is the scheme. Essen
tially, the Idea Is to make Mr. Roose
velt veto an unacceptabel bill before
congress approves an acceptable bill,
Some of you Innocent people who
do not know politics may wonder
why congress does not . enact the
compromise at once, and save all that
time and worry. Things are never
done here that way.
This strategy Is essentially the
same as that used by Tom SafSfyer
to escape from his aunt's woodshed.
To walk out the front door would
be too easy. An escape, to be digni
fied, must look hard.
Also j'ou must not forget that
political pree attaches to a con
gressman who stands for a bill spon
sored by the active veteransVprgan
aations. Later the same congress
men may stand In with the presi
dent by voting to sustain his eto.
Thus he gets the prestige of sup
porting the veterans and the presi
dent simply by voting both ways on
the same Issue. That has been done
before.
There seems to be some slight dif
ference of Inner opinion as to wheth
er the president will have his bonus
veto sustained by tne senate, a iew
senators apparently believe the Vin
son bill might be passed over a veto.
The exact situation on this was
summed up by a wise old senatorial
owl, who said: "If a president who
controls four billion dollars of relief
expenditures cannot win more than
one-third of the senate on any Issue,
he Is too dumb to be president."
The big third party rally here
turned nut to be a meeting of the
sixteenth or seventeenth party ln-sr-eftd
of the third.
Four left wing congressmen orgar
Ized the meeting, "without public-(..-
BoM tvipv nearlv held It
without publicity also because no
one of political importance attonded0
The official estimate Is that a throng
of 75 persons was present to launch
the new party.
Some of the liberal senators start
ed to attend but decided not to. Six
house members finally showed up.
Including the four who organized the
ne- part- and two congenial friends.
The fiasco does not mean a thjg
politicaliv. The meeting never had a

power like Coughlin, Long. Olsen)
was Identified with It.

TO BE VOTED ON
Chance for City to Make
Saving Seen by Council
Kroschel .Resigns as
Councilman Account Move
A special city election, to take j
place May 24, was CRlled last night I
at a regular meeting of the city
council, for a twofold purpose: To
authorize the council to refund out
standing Improvement bonds al a
low rate of interest to effect a saving
for the city In Interest charges, and
to submit to the citizens of Medford
the question of whether or not the
city should continue to provide un
employment B relief through SERA
work.
At present, It was pointed out by
city officials, interest rates in Mod
ford are very low and the city has
outstanding $250,000 in Improvement
bonds which are callable and which
bear Interest averaging 5' per cent.
Big Saving Seen
The city hopes to refund these
bonds at not more than four per
cent, which should save .the city j
between 2000 and $3000 a year on I
Interest charges. "The special election :
was called to authorize the council j
to. refund these particular bonds and
to confirm present bonds to be re
funded so that no question will arise
on refunding bonds to be issued,"
City Attorney Frank Farrell said.
The action relative to the contin
uation of SERA work was tak,n In
view of the fact that the SERA has
closed all rural relief cases through
out the state.
Under the SERA program the city
Is required to pay workmen's com
pensation for all men employed and
furnish such materials and supplies
as may be needed. The contribution
of the city Is about 15 per cent of
the total amount of money spent
within the city, and unless this con
tinues to be furnished all SERA
work withm the city will cease, of
ficials said.
Averaged S2 2.000 Month
SERA labor has averaged approxi
mately J22.000 a month and pro
vides work for the heads of about
800 families, keeping such families
