EDWARD W. PICKARD
| A T LAST the American ex-service
mm who fought in the World war
seems i ssured of receiving a bonus, or
|is he ^refers to call it. an adjusted
j|oomper sation. The senate on Wednes
day pcssed the bill essentially as it
jlopted by the house, and In
both cases the majority was so great
that tiiere is "no doubt it would he
repass< d over a presidential veto. But
the. bo lus provided for is not in cash,
so it may be Mr. Coolidge can see his
way clpar to approval of the measure,
ce President Harding, was op
to a cash bonus for the pay
of which no special financial
u*as offered.
rding to tl'.e present measure,
1 of cash the former service
ivill receive a twenty-year en
dowment insurance certificate on which
he can obtain a loan after two ye??rs,
to IX) per cent of the current
ralue of the policy. This loan
? obtained through a bank which
will he reimbursed by the government
in the event of a default. The loan
value of a $1,000 policy would be *87.
03 at the end of two years, $153.52 in
five y >ars, and $580.19 in fifteen years.
Senator COpeland of New York,
supported by a number of Democrats,
to have the bill amended to pro
!or a cash option, but this was
fed, 37 to 48, because most of
the senators felt it would mean the
certa n veto of the measure and per
its defeat. However, the
cratlc leaders announced after
ge of the bill that they con
sider* d it an unsatisfactory makeshift
and that next winter they would make
a fight for the cash option. If a
Derm cratic administration is elected in
the full they believe^ they can so amend
the l*w. With several minor amend
ment!? adopted on the floor, the bill
was passed by a vote of 67 to 17. Eight
Republican? and nine pemocrats were
recorded in opposition.
The cost of the bonus under the In
surance plan is expected to be some
wher ? between $2,202,467,420. the
figur? given by the actuary of the
vetei ans" bureau, and $3,631,047,601,
the imount Claimed by the treasury
actuary. The cost the first year would
be considerably in excess of $100,000,
000. T
Udder its terms the basic rate of
compensation is $1 a day for home
service and $1.25 for overseas service,
with! maximums of $.">00 for home serv
ice and $625 for overseas service. The
first] sixty days of service are ex
cluded from the computation. En
listed men of the army, navy, and
marine corps and officers up to and
hicl&ding captains In the army and
marjne corps and lieutenants In the
navy are embraced within Its scope.
Tliose entitled to $50 or less receive
casll. Otihers receive no cash, but are
glv^n twenty-year endowment insur
ant^ certificates, the face value of
which Is the adjusted service credit
plul 25 per cent plus interest at 4 per
cent compounded annually.
Having thus disposed of the bonus,
tho^ senate turned Its attention to the
revenue bill, and the prospect was
that; the discussion of this measure
wtuild continue for several weeks.
Even so, the leaders in congress now
thfck it may be possible to adjourn
eatly in June, before the opening of
thj Republican national convention.
OVEN the most enthusiastic prohl
J-^ bitionist will not deny the intense
arid widespread interest in the hear
ings started last week before the house
judiciary committee which, had under
consideration fifty-nine bills to amend
thfe Volstead act and legalize the manu
facture, sale and consumption of 2.75
per cent beer and of light wines. First
w^re heard those who argued for this
liberalization of the law, and the most
interesting and perhaps most influen
tial of these was Samuel Gompers,
who spoke for the 4,000,000 members
of the American Federation of Labor,
few of his sentences were:
"You ask me whr.t Influence legull-.
zation of 2.75 per cent beer would
have on general prohibition enforce
ment. I answer In. one sentence: It
would transform the people of the
United States from a whisky drink
ing to a beer drinking nation."
"The dissatisfied man is the one
who becomes the drunkard. The satis
fied man becomes the good citizen.
And I say that this prohibition of
today has caused the utmost in dis
satisfaction."
"No one wants the saloon. No one
will be foolish enough to try to re
peal the eighteenth amendment. What
we who plead for 2.75 per cent beer
want to do Is to get the good that lies
in temperance and rid ourselves of the
evils of the present prohibition."
Several eminent psychiatrists told
the committee of the great increase
in insanity from alcoholism since pro
hibition. and at least one minister of
the gospel stepped forward to de
clare that the Volstead act is unen
forceable, unpopular and wrong
ethically, morally and socially. A
large number of samples of the poison
ous stuff sold in Chicago for "hootch"
comprised one of the exhibits.
OFFERS for Muscle Shoals were up
before the senate agricultural
committee and a delegation of Ten
nessee manufacturers appeared to
argue against the Ford bid. Their
statements may be thus summarized :
1. Expenditure of thousands of dol
lars made the South look on Ford as i
its savior if given Muscle Shoals.
2. Some $So,000 for this propaganda
came from Ford friends in Nashville,!
Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Mempnis
alone. How much more, and its source
is unknown.
3. But the South now is waking
up to the fact that Ford in Muscle
Shoals means ruin and not salvation.
npHE house committee on banking
^ and currency, perfecting the Mc
Fadden bill revising the national bank
act, approved dry-wide branch bunk
ing proposals. The committee's de
cision in this Is approved by Con
troller of the Currency Dawes.
*T"*ESTIMONY before the Teapot
A Dome committee lost its ex-parte
character for a few minutes when
James O. Lewis, a consulting pe
troleum engineer, upheld Former Sec
retary Denby's policy of getting the
naval reserve oil out of Teapot Dome
and into storage as expeditiously as
possible. He said :
"If Teapot were rapidly developed
today, the recoverable oil could be got
out In two years. Otherwise, with the
gas pressure exhausted, It would take
twenty to fifty years and be very ex
pensive. The loss of gas pressure
would, In short, unfit Teapot for an
emergency."
Mr. Lewis said the amount of oil
in Teapot had proved "very disap
pointing"? 12,000.000 to 24,000,000 of
barrels instead of the bureau of mines' \
estimate of 135,000,000.
WHILE the Borah committee was
hearing' stories of the alleged
plot to bring about the indictment of
Senator Wheeler In Montana, the same
topic was brought up before the
Brookhart committee. John S. Glenn
of Nashville, Tenn., told the latter
committee the first move to "get"
Wheeler was engineered by W. J.
Burns and Mai Daugherty. Speaker
Gillett of the house appeared volun
tarily before the committee and ex
ploded the sensational testimony of
Capt. H. L Scaife concerning a "trunk
full of whisky" which Scaife had more
than intimated was sent to Mr. Gil
lett's office.
Harry Daugherty, being now free to
talk, made a red hot speech in Colum
bus In which he denied flatly much of
the testimony heard by the Wheeler
committee. His most significant state
ment was that he had given up his
cabinet post rather than "contribute
to a treasonable cause." Files of the
Department of Justice, he said, con
tained "abundant proof of the plans,
purposes and hellish designs of the
communist Internationale."
"Bear In mind," he added, "that the
files which I refused to deliver to the
Wheeler Investigating committee at
the time my resignation was request
ed were demanded by Brookhart and
Wheeler, two United States senators
who spent last summer In Russia with
their soviet friends ? those same soviet
I
and communist . leaders who preach
destruction of constitutional govern
ment, destruction even of human life."
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE traveled
i
to New York lust week and spoke
at the annual luncheon of the Associ
ated Press. The more Important of
his statements related directly to Eu
ropean . affairs. He said he hoped
France would accept the Dawes com
mittee report and that Afmerican capi
tal would join In the loan proposed'
for Germany. He thought that thus
the reparations question might be
definitely | settled, and promised that
he would then try to btflng about an
other world conference) on disarma
ment to carry on the work begun by
the Washington conference and to
take up the codification of interna
tional law with an attempt to estab
lish the rules of warfajre and to de
termine the rights of neutrals.! He
also indorsed the Harding proposal for
American adherence to the' world
court.
The President touched on the desire
for profits and the q|nest for easy
money, revealed in current govern
ment investigations, as symptomatic
of the morbid financial state of mind
brought on by the war, and continued:
"From all of this sordidness the af
fairs of government, C >f course, suf
fered. In some of it a few public offi
cers were guilty participants. But the
wonder Is not that thlp was so much
or so many, rather thjat It has been
so little and so few. I
"The encouraging thing at present
Is the evidence of a well nigh com
plete return to normal methods of ac
tion, and a sane public opinion. The
gravity of guilt of this kind is fully
realized and publlcl^ reprehended.
There Is an exceedingly healthy dis
position to uproot It jaltogether, and
administer punishment wherever com
petent evidence of guilt can be pro;
duced. That I am dol'ng and propose
to continue."
R'
EALIZING that economic relations
? between Japan and America are
far more vital to the former than to
the latter, Japan's privy council is un
derstood to have Indorsed the govern
ment's conduct In the Immigration ex
clusion matter. ThaJt is, continued
protest against the American exclu
sion act but no retaliation. The Japa
nese were still hoping that President
Coolldge would veto the measure, and
this he was asked to do by a great
mass meeting in Osaljra. Ambassador
Hanihara, meanwhile, explained to
congress that the words "grave conse
quences" In his note 'were not meant
to convey anything Irf the nature of a
threat, but Representative Johnson,
chairman of the house committee on
Immigration, replied with a statement
that the actlotf of congress had been
assured before the note was written
and that therefore th'e passage of the
exclusion clause wad not due to re
sentment agaJnst tljie ambassador's
language. |

BECAUSE of his ^'Interference" In
the senate Investigation of the In
ternal revenue bureau by suggesting
the employment of Francis Heney as
investigator, Governor Pinchot lost
the chance to sit in the Republican
national convention ' as delegate at
large from Pennsylvania. Representa
tive Vare and others turned on him
for what they considered disloyalty
to the administration, and Ralph B.t
Strassburger of Norristown defeated
the governor by a| large majority.
Pinchot blamed the, wets. Pennsyl
vania, New Jersey and Delaware all
elected delegates favorable to Cool
ldge and seemingly fiis nomination Is
an absolute certainty. Reports are
that he wants Frank Lowden of Illi
nois as his running bate, and, failing
*that. wishes Lowdenj to be temporary
chairman and to deliver the keynote
speech. It Is interesting to note that
the Democratic national committee Is
considering the selection of a woman
as temporary chairman of the national
convention in New York.

To Save Damage From
Spilling Acid on Floor
When using a storage battery, dam
age from spilling acid on floor or car
pets can be avoided by getting or mak
ing a small box, about three inchcA
larger all around than the battery.
Paint or stain the outside to match the
furniture. Paint the inside with sev
eral coats of heavy paint, or asphaltum
paint. If possible. Leave no open
cracks. Put casters on the bottom of
the box. It wijl keep the battery safe,
acid off the flobr and afford a place td
keep a receptacle for the hydrometer
and a small bottle of distilled water,
ail together and safe.
This makes It very easy to move the
box to one sld|e In o.der to clean the

"Not long ago I went to visit my
