HARDING STAND ON

THE purpose Of this note is TO call

PreSident Grants of II. r. 3341. An
act to equalize the bounties of soldiers

Union The veto was based on the
ground Of the insufficiency at that

says. The passage Of this bill at this

The bonus bill OF 1875 provided for
the payment to every "non-commis-
stoned officer, musician. artificer,
wa goner. and private soldier, sailor
ana marine. including those borne
upon the rolls as slaves and Indians.
IS I.3 month for all the time served"
during the war.
The bounties previously paid by the
United States or any State were to be
deducted. No bounty was to be paid
to a soldier who served as a substitute
or was a captured prisoner at the
time OF his enlistment.
The measure passed the House Of
Representatives, where IT originated,
and was sent to the Senate shortly
before the end of the short term in
1875. President Grant literally put ii
in his pocket. and when he went to
the Capitol on the forenoon of March
3 to deal with the last legislative work
of the session he sat down in the
Presidents room there and wrote his
veto message. 10.

Jonah Would be-
Amazed at Change


Jaffa, Palestine, Dec. s.-(By tn,
Associated Press).-If the prophe'
Jonah should return within the next
few months to this little atavistic
port, whence he set sail some 1900
years ago on his tempestuous voy.

After all these centuries, modern.

cial encroachments upon this bask-
ing seashore, whose name was Joppa
when Jonah knew it.
For some years, particularly since
the British occupation, a harbor for
Palestine has been talked of. but
only now is this dream of easy in
gress and egress to and from the
cradle of Christianity about to be
realized.
An Italian banking syndicate, hav-
ing satisfied itself that great COM
mercial possibilities are wrapped up
in new-old Palestine, has offered to
advance the necessary capital, sub
ject to adequate governmental guar
antees, and the actual work is soon
expected to begin.
The plan call for the expenditure
of sum ont to exceed $7,00O,OOO, to
be retired with interest within 80
years.
The harbor is to be located direct
ly opposite the section of the old
city of Bible times, making the pres
tent custom house a central point
from which the extension will be
made northward and southwark. 1t
is to comprise three sections, one de-
voted entirely to freight and passen-
ger ships, one to shipbuilding and re-
pairing and one to fishing.
Lack of proper harbor facilities
has been. one of the greatest impedi-
ments to commercial development of
Palestine, and, consequently, the in
habitants are looking with keen an
ticipation upon the time when large

shores. When the weather is stormy
and the sea rough, it is now practi
cally impossible for boats to come
even Within three miles of land,
where even in mild weather all ships
have to be loaded and unloaded with
the aid of small, obsolete craft. Thus
it is estimated at least $1,O00,0O0 a
year can be saved on the LOADING and
unloading item alone, to say nothing
of the inevitable effect better ship
ping facilities will have on the cost
of living, which is now excessively
high.
Commensurate with harbor i'm
provements, the city of Jaffa itself,
is making plans to come out of it's
lethargy and reap rich rewards. In
dependent commercial interests al
ready are laying plans to develp a
miles of waterfront, intending to
build store rooms, restaurants, hotels
and private homes for the benefit of
traders and tourists.
