HARDING SHIFTS
ON BONUS BILL
CONSIDERED LEADING DOMESTIC
ISSUE BEFORE COUNTRY.
ESTATES WOULD PAY BONUS
Presidents Friends Advise Him to
Take Initiative in the Matter OF
Adjusted Compensation for
Soldiers of World War.

Washington.-Proh and SOL
der bonus were of sufficient lmpor-
lance in the last elections as TO pc
considered by political Washington as
the leading domestic issues before the
country at present. President Hard
ing has limited that there is shifting
of views on prohibition and there are
rumors that he himself will do some
shifting on the bonus,
Authorized spokesman for the pres
ident say he will veto any bill passed
by congress dissimilar to the one put
up to him earlier this year. But be-
fore that time comes something con-
crete in the way of bonus proposal
may be expected from the executive.
Whether mention will be made of the
subject in the message to be read to
congress at the regular session in De-
cember is not yet determined, but
there are many among the presidents
friends who advise him to take the
initiative in the matter of adjusted
compensation for the soldiers and pro-
pose that his party can unite on:
The latest suggestion which has
quarters, though it cannot be said
that Mr.. Harding will be won over
to it, is one that looks to the federal
government and the states to enter
into a combination of a sort OF $3.50
proposition just as has been the case
with good roads. The federal govern.
ment appropriates on condition that
an equal sum is raised by a state and
the quotas are divided to the needs OF
the states.
Thirty-seven out Of the 4S states ct
the Union are willing to give. Re-
Gently Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kan
sas, Montana and California voted sol.
der bonuses. Seventeen states acted
earlier, namely, Maine, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Ore.
gon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Yer
mont, Washington and Wisconsin, In
addition Colorado voted 5000 each to
ex-service men for vocational training.
New York state went on record in ia
vor of $45,000,00O bonds, but 1t got
tangled up in constitutional Difficult
ties. The Pennsylvania legislature in
1921 authorized submission of con,
stitutional amendment involving $685.
600 900, but this is expected to be sub
mitted again by the new legislature.
Twenty-seven out of As represent
majority, but it doesn't reflect the
true effect of the bonus sentiment be-
cause many states have been waiting
on the federal government and the Do-
nus movement hasn't received the i'm
petus it would otherwise receive II
the states were to know they were re-
quired to cooperate with the federal
government.

NEWBERRY, G. 0.P.
MILESTONE QUITS
RESIGNS BECAUSE OF COL
LEAGUE ToWNsEND's DEFEAT.
SAYS HIS NAME IS CLEAR
Senator, Long OBJECT of Controversy
in Senate, Declares He Has
Fought the Fight and Has
Kept the Faith"

Washington.-Tru H. Newber-
ry of Michigan, whose right to
place in the Senate which has been
a subject of long and bitter contro-
versy, has submitted his resignation
with a request that it become effect
i've Immediately.
In a letter to Gov. Groesbeck, Mr..
Newberry said he had been impelled
to retire voluntarily because of de-
feat of his Republican colleague, Sen
ator Townsend, in the election of Nov.
z. The turn of events, he said, would
make it futile" for him to attempt
to continue his service, since he
would be continually "hampered by
partisan political persecution"
Reviewing the outstanding features
of the controversy which grew out
OF his election four years ago over
Henry Ford, his Democratic opponent,
he declared his right to seat in the
Senate had been fully confirmed"
He added that if, in the future
there seemed to be opportunities for
public service, he would not hesitate
to offer himself to his state and his
country. The resignation brings to
an end a fight which already has
been political history and which It
appeared would be resumed early In
the session of Congress.
Convicted in Michigan of con-
spiracy to violate election laws, Sena-
tor Newberry appealed to the SUI
preme court, which declared uncon-
stitutional the statute under which
he was accused. The Senate itself,
after long investigation, finally con-
firmed his title to seat by margin
of five votes. In the campaign just
closed the case was an issue in many
states.
A copy of the resignation sent to
Gov. Groesbeck was delivered to Vice
President Coolidge by Walter r. Der
sey, Mr.. Newberry's secretary. Mr..
Newberry himself is at his home in
Detroit. The letter to the governor
was as follows:
81 tender herewith my resignation
as United States senator from Michi-
gan to take immediate effect.
IT am iHpelled to take this action
because at the recent election not
withstanding his long and faithful
public service and his strict adher-
ence to the basic principles of con-
structive Republicanism which l hold
In common with him, Senator Town
send was defeated. While this fail
ure to re-elect him may have been
brought about in part by over four
years of continuous propaganda of
misrepresentation and untruth, affair
ANALYSIS of the vote in Michigan and
other states where friends and polit-
ical enemies alike have suffered de-
feat, will demonstrate that general
feeling of unrest was mainly respon-
sihle therefor.
"This situation renders futile fur
Their service by me in the United
States Senate, where | have consist
emily supported tie progressive poll
cies of President Harding's admins

would continue to be hampered by
partisan political persecution and
therefore cheerfully return my COM
mission to the people from whom
received it.

CORN MOST IMPORTANT
CROP GROWN IN AMERICA
Gift From the Red Man Our Best
Offering to Rest OF
World.

Washington. Nov. 22.--Corn. the
red mans gift TO the white man, has
come TO be the nations most import
ant farm crop. Consumed either di-
rectly OF in the form of meat and
other animal products. 1t is the
principal source OF the nations food
supply. The 1921 yearbook of the
Department OF Agriculture shows just
to what extent the three billion bushel
crop forms the basis OF the livestock
industry. Forty per cent OF the crop
is fed 10 swine on farms. 20 per cent
TO horses and mules on farms, and 15
per cent to cattle on farms. Only ten
per cent is used direct for human
food.
Corn was one Of the most import
ant gifts America made to the rest
of the world. The United States now
produces about three-fourths OF the
worlds corn crop. That corn also is
an important crop in Argentina,
Brazil, Mexico and some OF the south
ern European countries, is shown in
the report.
Weather, insects and plant diseases
have a great deal TO do with regulat-
| ing the size of the crop in the United
| States. The estimated loss caused by
common smut alone during the period
1917-l920 was placed 81 about so mil
lions of bushels annually. OF insect
pests the corn-ear worm, where
abundant, causes a loss of at least
per cent OF the grain on the ears at
tackled. The European corn borer
also threatens to take a heavy toll.
1t is stated that the production OF
the corn crop is financed with less
borrowed capital than is the case with
other staple farm crops. The reason
for this IS that the farmers income
is distributed throughout the yeal
more evenly than is the case in many
other sections, and because the direcr
investment in the crop consists more
of the farmers own labor and less OF
purchased material and equipment
than is the case in many other crops
The yearbook, which is obtainabl,
through Congressional representa-
tives from the department, contain.
much data of interest and value L
producers, including chapters OF
production costs and figures, financ
ing, and advice on production accord
ing to seasonal supply and demant
to act toward preventing futur
crisis for the corn grower.
