Harding and Cox Both Doubted
Wisdom of Bonuses.

In connection with the discussion
regarding postponement of action on
the Soldiers Bonus Bill it is recalled
that both candidates for President last
year went on record during the cam
paign as regarding with doubt the
wisdom of voting cash bonuses to ex-
service men. The Stars and Stripes,
a weekly publication devoted to the in
~terests of ~ex-service men, carried in
terviews with both candidates upon
the subject of cash bonuses,-one with
President Harding, under date of Sep
TENDER 4, 1920, and n with Hon.
James M. Cox, under date of Septem-
Der II, 1920. The articles were handled
by Joseph l.. Hefferman, of the Stars
and Stripes, and both articles were
widely reprinted in the daily papers
of the above dates.
The following is an extract from
the article of Sept. A, 1920, which
gave the views of Candidate Hard
ing:
Senator Harding holds the great
American family, known as the gen.
eral public, must be kept in mind
and earnest thought given to any plan
for soldier legislation which may tend
to disturb the financial machinery by
which that great family transacts its
everyday business. Incidentally, Can
didate Harding recalled that at pres
ent there is a floating Indebtedness
of more than $4,000, 900 900 and en-
phasized in we'll considered words the
serious problem of asimilating that
debt. After re%marking that a cash
bonus would perhaps cost So, 0,OOO,-
900 Senator Harding said: Now, with
our present Liberty bonds below par
what would be the result if we pro-
ceeded to issue more bonds? During
war, of course, the people of the coun-
try laid their all on the altar of their
country just as the soldiers laid down
their lives. Can we honestly say that
conditions are now the same? If we
did sell bonds to pay the proposed
bonus and, to meet present conditions,
offered a higher rate of interest than
on our previous Liberty bonds, what
would be the effect on those bonds
outstanding?'"
President Harding, according to
this interview, approved of the pro-
visions for farm or home aid, land
settlement aid and vocational train
ing aid, provided they could be put
into eject in a practical way.
In the following weeks issue of
the Stars and Stripes, Hon. James
NJ. Cox made public his opposition in
regard to the cash bonus. Like Presi-
dent Harding, he, too expressed pre-
ferment for legislation which gave
the soldier land or homes instead OF
cash.-Nat. Republican.

~ COPPER IN THE HOME

Discussing the condition of the Cop
per industry William A. Paine, Pres.
of the Copper Range Co. says:
Cooper always has been a necessity
in industry and will continue to be.
Copper must and will come back,
stronger than evers!'
Speaking of copper in the raw state
and copper in the finished product,
Mr.. Paine stated that there is too wide
a margin between what the producer
receives for the metal and what the
fabricator gets for his output. If this
could be overcome it would encourage
a wider use of copper and prove bet
ter for the producer and the AFRICA
tor.
Large copper producers have been
considering the manufacture of their
copper into finished products for di-
rect distribution to the trade in order
to encourage the use of copper.
Every family in the country should
have at least one copper wash boiler,
a copper tea-kettle and one or two
copper stew pans, not to mention nu-
merous other articles which can be
made of copper and add to the utility
and attractiveness of the home.

PARTISAN ATTACK ON
ADMINISTRATION

The Democratic party is making
good it's recent threat to launch a par
tisan attack on the Administration.
This is evidenced in the piccaunish
attack by the Democratic National
Committee upon President Harding's
effort to keep physically fit for the
tremendous responsibilities of his of
flee by getting physical recreation out
side of office hours and between Sat
urday noon and Monday morning.
1t is also evidenced in the lula
balloo the Democrats are raising owe
the Republican tax bill, as passed by
the House. AS indicated in our news
service, while the Democrats are critl-
Ching the Republicans for the tax
bill, they r opposing every move
made by the Administration in the di-
rection Of economy.
1t should be constantly kept in mind
that by far the greater portion of any
tax bill which will be framed during
the next few years will be used to
pay off debts incurred by the Will
son Administration. Although we had
less men modified than either of
them , and had to make no foreign
loans or buy any raw material from
foreign nations, u per day cost of
winning the war under Democratic
management was four times that of
Great Britain, six times that of France
and ten times that of Italy. 1t is these
debts which the present administra-
ton, and the administration for years
to come, must pay.
The least the Democratic party and
it's leaders could do would be to assist
in raising these taxes as periodically
as the Republicans assisted in win
ming the war. Instead of that they are
opposing the Republican efforts to
find money to pay off the debts of the
Wilson administration.
Probably the Democratic party is
driven to this extreme by reason of its
failure to "put on" a calamity cam
paign. A few weeks ago the Demo-
cratic press politicians were crying
hard times and unemployment, pre-
dieting "soup kitchens" and "bread
riots" and claiming the Republican adj
ministration and it's policies were
bringing ruin to business and idleness
to workingmen. The record of the
business and industrial world during
the past two months has deprived the
Democratic party of what it had hoped
would be a winning issue. Being de-
MED the somewhat peculiar delight
of making merry over a business and
industrial depression, it o hopes to
find an issue in the efforts of the
Republican administration to devise a
sane program of raising money to meet
the obligations incurred by the frenz-
led financing of the Wilson regime.

LOSING ITS GRIP

LET THE WORK GO ON

The present price of crude and the
high cost of drilling has not dis
couraged the Independent operators
of Montana in their relentless drive
for the oil sands that now underly the
many structures of the state. With
a determination which is character
istic of the Montanan, they are driv-
ing on with all the energy at their
command, in their effort to develop
the various promising fields of this
state.
At times the ends may not seem to
justify the means but with that in
domitable spirit which characterizes
them as a class of people that recog-
nizes no defeat and with that tenac-
ity of purpose which has builded great
empires and given right predomi-
nance over wrong and injustice, they
keep ever at the tasks before them
and with an abiding faith that all the
manipulations of finance and all the
influences of the powers that be can
not prevent them from coming into
their own when their labors have Gull
minated in the opening of the states
great pools of oil.
If there is any notion on the part of
some that the operators of Montana
can be subsidized into inaction by
cuts in the price of crude and the
manipulation of inside powers, let
them know their error now. These
men will not acknowledge failure
they refuse to recognize defeat, and
now, after weeks of effort directed
against adverse conditions, they see
the light of that dawn of prosperity
to which they have looked forward.
Already at some locations a bonus
has been added to the price of crude.
Advances of as much as Is cents per
barrel have been reported and the ex-
haustion of the present supply will
bring about additional increases to
that point in price where these indie
pendent operators will be handsomely
rewarded for their tenacity of pur-
pose.
Let the good work go on. Let the
drills keep up that constant drive to
the sands, for the day is coming when
the effort will prove to have been
rightfully directed and the cost wise

WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

That faith in the future of the oil
business is not confined to the OPTIC
mistic operators of Montana, but is
general among oil men of the coun-
try, is evidenced by recent state.
ments in the National Oil Journal
which says editorially:
Strength in the stocks of several
of the big petroleum companies re-
fleets increased confidence among oil
men regarding better earnings for the
latter part of the current year. The
feeling is that recent months were
the worst that the industry is likely
to experience in the present depres-
sion, and that improvement from now
on will take place, probably enough
to start a turn upward in the crude
oil market. There are an exceptional
few that still believe the petroleum
industry will not witness any great
recovery until the Spring of 1922.
The decline in prices necesltated
heavy charge-offs on inventories in
the first quarter of this year and to
some extent in the second quarter,
but this is about over, and the indus
try, is now in a position to take ad-
vantage of lower operating costs.
If the expected improvement dur
ing the remainder of the year takes
place, the reports of the big compan-
les for 1921 will make a better show
ing than has generally been looked
for.
Gasoline is the mainstay of the
petroleum industry, making up a
large proportion of the business, in
dollars. Gasoline consumption has
been the one redeeming factor of this

business. Although domestic con-
sumption dropped from a high month
ly rate of 479, 200, 900 gallons in Au-

February of this year it increased in
May to 395, 900, 900 gallons, a gain of
about 1863, 100000 gallons over Feb

Export business in gasoline has
dropped considerably, although April,
