The Bonus Scandal

The bonus situation has developed
into a scandal or near scandal owing
to the rapacity of the super-patriotic
money mongers who declined with
thanks to loan the cash to pay the
boys who had been at the front, the
bonus, the State provided at per cent
interest. They asked per cent and
they have got it which means an addi-
tional rake-off of some 100000. The
patriotism of ,some people seems to
ooze out at their finger ends when the
danger is over.

Happier Days Ahead

On February % last the gross debt
Of the United States amounted to
4,O51 .685. 900, more than two billion
less than during the war time peak.
TO meet necessary expenditures
Uncle Sam is paying out money at
the rate of five billion a year. 81
These staggering figures would be
discouraging except for the fact that
thrift is being successfully applied in
governmental affairs. During the
first eight months of the present fiscal
year, income exceeded expenditures
by more than 1856 million dollars.
Interest on Liberty bonds and GER
tificates of Indebtedness and their Ii
quotation, payments to the railroads
and other abnormal obligations, lar.
gely the price of victory in 1913,
means that continued huge sums OF
money must be spent but the tide has
turned in favor of economy and dur
ing the past few months progress has
been made to tighten Uncle Sans
financial burdens and this is to con.
tinue.
1.-THE nation cannot afford extrava
gance," says Andrew w. Mellon, the
new Secretary of the Treasury, "and
so far as possible it must avoid enter
ing new fields of expenditure. The
people generally must become more
interested in saving the governments
money than in spending it. A thorc
going national budget must be estab
lished and the government expenses
brot into relation to it's income"
Waste must stop and the public

A Bio Week

n big week
The Highway Bill and several others
of great importance will come up as a
special order in the House Tuesday
for final action. The bill relating to
the primary will also be disposed of
in the same manner.
Reactionaries on the Run
The progressive forces especially
in the House have the reactionaries
on the run, as it were, and some bad
will surely be defeated,
while some wholesome measures in
the interest of the common people are
sure to get by and go to the Governor.
It is rather too early to predict just
what these bills will be or what form
they will finally assume, but special
attention will be given to them later.
The Primary
Sensible reactionary House mem.
bers are beginning to see that any
tinkering with the primary will make
excellent League propaganda and are
not pushing the Senate bill to prohib:
it any person from being candidate
at the election who was defeated at
the primary. Many feel that the pri
mary law is good enough as it is and
are not disposed to further agitate the
subject
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1921-03-16
To NuiIify the Primary

The state is all set to nullify the
primary, so far as the Senate is con-
cerned. The Benson bill understood
to have the endorsement of the re-
dictionary Rep. Leaders has been set
as special order" for. Tuesday. The
bill provides for the holding of party
conventions, township, country. dis
trict and states and the endorsement
of candidates and formulating of plat
form. -,I ..-...
A vicious feature of this measure is
a section that requires the names Of
candidates so endorsed to be blocked
at the head of the primary ticket and
not rotated and carry the endorsement
of the convention. It would be, a
rare accident If any candidate having
this advantage should be defeated. If
this bill becomes law the whole pri-
mary act might as we'll be- repealed!
It is sure thing that this bill will
pass the Senate as the reactionaries
control the body. But it's passage by
the House may be questioned. 1t is
certain that the thirty-three League
and labor votes will be cast against
this measure but can an equal number
of progressives outside of these ele-
ments be lined up? This will depend
largely upon the attitude Theodore
Christianson finally assumes. He, as
Chairman of the all powerful House
Committee on Appropriations, has an
nounced that his policy will be to
keep down. expenditures. It may be
that he will make up his mind that
he had his hands full. already in re-
sisting the demands of the army of
benevolent minded patriots who have
a laundering to get their fingers into
the public treasury, and take no act
i've part in this matter. C. H. Warner
is Chairman of the House Committee
on elections and that Committee is
controlled by the reactionaries so this
bill will be promptly reported back
for passage.

Friday to listen to a speech by Gov.
Preus. The Governor called atten:

burglaries and murders in Minnesota
and the number in the United States
as compared to England and Wales
He asked among other things, for
more power to remove officials who
were lax in law enforcement and
