For the third time the Congress of these United
States has rejected legislation to enact bonus bills in
the interest OF the veterans of the World Warand all
this under Republican administration 1t that
the Republicans have nothing in common with the ex-
service men, and that they will pass the legisla
ton need to give them the recognition to which mora
than majority of Americas citizens think they are
entitled and justly, too.
Last Saturday by a vote of 3S to % the Senate
rejected the Reed amendment to the tax bill proposing
to enact the soldier bonus bill and retain the prof
its tax as of financing adjusted compensatons
for former service men,.
Five Republicans, Capper johnson, Kenyon, Ladd
and Lafoete supported the amendment, and two Demo-
Gratis, Glass and Meyers, voted against it.
President Harding assailed by Senator Stan
ley De. Kentucky, for what ne described as the or-
DER to the Senate to recommit the soldier bonus BILL
Senator Stanley declared there only one
thing earth that could have made the President turn
his back" on the 100000 former service That
thing he said, "the silent nsdiouS power OF mann
mon, the ring of the dollar.
None of the crowned heads of Europe would have
dared do what the President did, Stanley said, adding
that the event would go down as blot on history
Slave Of Money
'sThe Senator from Missouri (Reed)" the
speaker continued "has given you Repubcansl op-
pertuniy to show whether you represent your const
tuences whether you represent Wall street by the
proxy of Mellon and the President lis giving you
opportunity to say whether live up to the proud
traditions of the Republican party that has always been
the friend Of the soldier whether you live up to the
plane of the present organization that the most
erserviceable slave that Mammon had since the
children of Israel broke that froic around the golden
calf in the neighborhood of Sinai
Senator Watson Rep Indiana, replying to Senator
Stanley, said the movement to recommt the bonus bill
not initiated by the President that the President
acted only after he had been urged to do by Senators
who pointed out the federal financial situation to him.
All this gentle reader for the present admin
stration Republican if you please But read the fol-
lowing little ditty, entitled:
Bill Giving Liberty Loan Losers $250,000 Passed
Washington; November 5.-A bill appropriating
$250000 to be used in refundng losses by Liberty loan
subscribers through failure of five banks in which they
had placed partial payments was passed today by the
House and sent to the Senate The banks located
in Pennsylvania, California, Ohio Minnesota and North
Dakota.
1t is not record that the President gave his
ders to recommit, commit defeat this BILL but this
is matter of far different color This bill is for those
who have money, for those who did not go to the war;
who are mostly thoroughly recovered at this time for
any losses that may have been encountered The banks
too have hand in ths-n other words the monied in
they must be protected but the exsolders?
No. once. No, twice. No. for the third and last time
Oh, WELL therell come another election day
Truly the Republicans doing more to defeat
themselves than any other force in America today
Harding, HYDE Hard Times, Hell, what's the use?
