Cash Soldier Bonus Not Favored.
The question of a aoldler bonus will
undoubtedly play an Important part In
the proceedings of thio session. A
cash bonus seems to meet with dis
favor among members of the Isglaisr
turn, principally owing to the fact that
they cannot see whore the necessary
money is to bo reload.
Many of tbe legislator*. It was said,
have expressed themselves as opposed
to assuming the responsibility for cre
ating this obligation, and era of the
opinion that the eatlra m atter should
b* referred to tbe voters for final con
sidération.
Under suspension of the rule*, the
•anate passed without reference to a
committee house joint memorial No.
>, memorializing congress to paas the
Fordney national bonus bill for ex-
service men. By the same procedure
the senate passed house joint memorial
No. 1. urging the aatlonal congress to
pass tha M r Arthur-Chamber lain fed
eral aid road bill, appropriating $100.
000.004 for post roads and $10.000.00«
