BONUS NOT FAVORED BY ALL
Ex-Service Man Says Money Hand
Out Would Simply Be Thrown
Away-MOst All Have Employ
ment Who Want 1t.

Flat opposition to financial re-
lief legislation for former service
men, the first to be expressed by
former soldier, was asserted
last Thursday before the house
ways and means committee by
Walter w. Burns, of Green Point,
N. Y, a former artillery captain.
A money handout" to the ex-ser-
vice men, he said, "would simply
be thrown away"
Practically no former soldiers
or sailors are without employment
Burns said, adding that most of
them do not know the effect the
payment of a bonus would have.
Outstanding government obliga-
tions would depreciate if bond
issue was authorized, Burns said.
All soldiers would take a money
grant if congress authorized it,
he told the committee. Represen-
tative Rainey, Democrat, Illinois,
replied that this was true even of
members of congress "who talk
and vote against salaries and
mileage allotments but always
take the money"
Burns contended that the salts
faction of having fought to de-
fend the country was sufficient re-
ward.
"If the war had continued two
weeks longer, every American SOL
dier would have been so tickled
they wouldn't want any bonus,"
he added.
Representative Garner, Demo-
crat, Texas, said not former SER
vice man in his district had writ
ten in favor of the proposed finan-
cial relief.
"They don't know you are in
congress then" representative
of a soldier organization seated
in the committee room interject-
ed.
Even the American Legion is
divided on the question, Burns
said, adding that he was men,
ber of that organization and had
talked with many others opposed
to the Legion's plans. Those who
need a bonus would squander it
and those who don't need it would
put it in a bank, he argued.
Reclamation of arid lands in
the west and south, with preferen-
tial right to all former service

BREVITY

If you desire to make a hit it's
we'll to bear in mind that brevity's
the soul of wit, the wisest scheme
you'll find. Long winded men are
always Stunned, they fill our souls
with care, altho they may possess
a fund of knowledge rich and rare.
We all detest the dreary chump
who tells rambling tale, so long
it reaches from the dump clear to
the county Jail. We are all bored
by dizzy birds who know not when
to stop, who pile up endless words
on words, and other words on top.
How comforting the silent gent,
who makes brief retort, who al
ways said just what he meant, and
cut the saying short! The words
he pushes thru his face are chos-
en- as the best; for brevity's the
soul of grace and sense and all the
rest. The man who lectures for
an hour will make his hearers
mad; he'll see the faces turning
sour that at the start were glad.
Ten minutes are enough, l for
any speakers junk; for nearly all
we say is rot; the rest is mostly
bunk.-Walt Mason.

SCHOOL NOTES
(By d. w. and T. T.)

lOI IIlI &C WCCho'
Now we are about to commence
to start to begin the beginning of
the end of the school year of 1920.
We all feel much more competent
to make it a successful one after
our short vacation-rest having
stimulated our added heads. The
Algebra class in particular, show
great brilliancy and genius, e. g.
the following equations given:
Two per cent inspiration plus
SO per cent perspiration equals
genius. Late hours plus no study
plus too much girl equals funk.
The Seniors have been using
their bright (meaning shiny
brains along the line of class
cards, class colors, class notices,
class plays, the result being
"Some Class"
"Will basketball be eliminated
or resumed for the rest of the
year," is the serious question
now before the athletes. However.
the decision will be left to Coach
Laird. He knows best. But we
are wondering how many people
realize that the success of the
athletics depends largely on the
support of the public. Otherwise
there is not much use in the teams
using their time and labor 20
amuse the walls and empty seats.
Turn out, everyone, and boost! !!
The glorious news has reached
us that Eddie Davis carried away
with high honors the gold medal
in the skiing contest held at
Steamboat Springs last week.
Hail to the hero! It takes the
Freshmen to do things, let me tell
you. They are the pluckiest bunch
of children you ever saw, and oh.
so wonderfully advanced beyond
their years in intellect and-cur-
iosity.
The first "non-fussing" social
of the year will be given by the
athletic association next Friday
evening, March 18th, at the High
school building. Plans for the af-
fair were completed at meeting
Tuesday evening. 1t is planned
to make this affair as much as pos
siblc a hard-time social, so put
on your best overalls and bunga-
low aprons, and enter the spirit
of the thing. A dance will be Civ
en- after the social entertainment.
The admission is ten cents.
Why are the four years of High
school life like four plays of
Shakespeare? Because
The first year is Comedy of
Errors"
The second year is much Ado
About Nothing"
The third year is "As You Like
It."
The fourth year is "All's Well
That Ends Well"

March 9th, 1920, the following
resolution was unanimously ad-
opted:
"Whereas, The direct effect of
the recent great war has placed
an unprecedented premium on all
commodities, with the single ex-
ception of the standard of values
of all commodities, namely Gold,
which has even tho unofficially
and unintentionally, nevertheless,
been automatically reduced below
par, and
"Whereas, This organization of
metal miners, mine owners and
mine managers, to hasten the re-
lief for which we pray, do heartily
concur with that particular resol-
ution of the American Bankers
association, at their 45th annual
convention, October End, 1919,
and to further emphasize a sense
and spirit of concurrence, we
point to a more directly worded
and equally important resolution
by the American Mining Congress,
dealing with Proposing an ex-
else upon manufactured gold and
premium to the producer of new
gold and
