BONUS PLAN KILLED AGAIN

Washington, May 25.- Forty-nine
Republicans Of the House, to be led by
James r. Mann of Illinois, erstwhile
floor leader of the G. 0. p. in the
lower body Of Congress and defeated
candidate for speaker, will not abide
by the decision of the Republican
conference Thursday night to support
the Ways and Means Committee cash
bonus bill. Their stand will doubtless
be the immediate cause of defeat of
the entire measure at this session of
Congress unless unexpected changes
from today's developments come be-
fore next Thursday That lis the
earliest day set for attempting to
get the bonus bill before the house.
The "bolt' and it is little less than
that, is significant for other reasons
than effect it may have on the bonus
bill. The "boltors" are not the So
called progressive wing Of the party,
which also is dissatisfied with the
bill, but they include the old-time
regulars, such as "Uncle Joe" Can
non, former speaker; Treadway, and
Luce, of Massachusetts and Dunn and
Platt of New York; Good of Iowa
and others.

PRICE CUTTING COMING SOUTH


Price and profiteering campaigns
are coming South. They have already
reached this state, and in several
cities sales are being conducted al
from twenty to fifty per cent reduc-
ton in former charges.
This movement is attributed to o
number of causes. Money is tighten.
ing up to stop speculation in needless
things. The spring season is over
and the summer well along. The
necessary purchases have all been
made, and the fill-in season is at
hand. The commencement season is
over. and the social season is on the
wane. All this volume of demand is
over, and the merchant loaded down
with goods-is unloading at a loss.
He is expecting the future to care for
itself, and he will trail along meeting
the conditions as they are confronted
Then there is another reason. The
people are awake to the purchasing
value of the dollar. They are carry
ing it as far as it will go, and making
it do its utmost. They have learned
that a little inquiry, a little compar-
ison, will save them dollars, and they
arc doing it more and more every
day. They have stopped throwing
money away. The merchant and the
purchaser are adjusting themselves
to the exigencies Of the times. 1t will
soon come that the profiteer will not
be able to get away with anything
more than a reasonable profit. The
public is learning the lesson of COM
parison and discrimination, and is will
ling to pay reasonable profit. The
public will permit no more, and is will
ling for no less.
In an equitable solution of the
great economic problems Of our times,
buyer and seller are getting together.

refuse credits in these fields of in

Morgan to Join in
Good Roads Drive

Steps are being taken in Morgan
county pointing to action similar to
that contemplated in Montgomery
to loan funds to the State to hasten
construction of the roads included in
the New State Primary Road sys-
tenn. West Liberty, in Morgan coun-
ty, is on Project 80, running from
Paris in Bourbon, to Mt. Sterling.
to Frenchburg, in Menefee, and to
West Liberty in Morgan. In last
weeks issue the Morgan County
Courier said, editorially:
THE ROAD SENTIMENT
"Mr. S. s. Oldfield, a prosperous
merchant and farmer, and big tax
payer, has a letter in this issue indi-
eating a bond issue to raise money
to loan to the State to enable us to
secure the immediate construction Of
Morgan county's part of the inter-
county seat roads. The county will
not really pay for the roads. The
State builds them and keeps them
up. The State has not the money to
build all the roads at once, and will
eventually refund TO any county the
money advanced. We would be glad
to have the farmers throughout the
county give their views on the ques-
ton through these columns"
The article referred to in the above
editorial follows:
WANT ROADS IMMEDIATELY
Index, KY, May 10, 1920
Editor Courier,
West Liberty, Ky.
Dear Sir:
The State has passed law by
which the Commonwealth will build
and maintain a system of inter-cou
ty Seat roads. Owing to the immen-
sity of the task and the lack of funds
Immediately available it will require
from 10 to Is years to finish them,
and many counties will have TO wait
for years to see the fulfillment of the
good roads hope.
Under the law any county that
wants to have its roads completed
at once can advance to the States the
money and the State will build the
roads and then refund the money to
the said county Morgan county can
vote a bond issue and let the State
have the money and build the roads
and before the bonds are due the
State will repay the money. This
plan will really not cost the county
anything. 1t is just loaning the
State the money to build the roads
and getting it paid back before it is
due. Why can't we do this and get
the use of the roads now when we are
needing them so badlyG / would like
for the farmers and the business men
of the county to express themselves
on the subject through the eolumss of
the Courier, which, take it, will be
perfectly agreeable to the publishers.
Let's have the roads now, when we
need them!
