The elimination os the irritating
bonus proposition from the Congress
sional situation has apparently re-
stored the normal balance between the
two major parties.
The revival of the scheme to confer
Government gratuities on able bodied
ex-service men in the Senate this
afternoon and predictions of a renewal
Of the fight later on were viewed in a
Pickwickian sense.
The Importance OF the bill which
Senator Bursum IN. NJ jauntily
tossed into the Senatorial situation
during the afternoon merely confirmed
the prediction of John Sharp Will
Jams (Miss.) that whether you pass
the McCumber bonus bill or not. the
boys will keep coming back every year
for bonus until they start after
PENSIONS
Humorous Touch to Filibuster.
Mr.. Bursum's bill offered within
twenty-four hours of the time sched-
uled for the adjournment of Congress
was not taken seriously. The tende,
OF 1t provided humorous touch to
the acrimonious filibuster staged by
the Democrats against the Dyer anti
lynching bill.
The measure provides for the pay
ment to veterans who served both at
home and abroad of a bonus of $40 a
month in cash for the length of SER
vice perform I'd. Another provision is
Tor the refund to veterans Of all sums
paid during the war for war risk in
surance. No provision is made in the
bill for. raising the immediate revenue.
Senator Bursum's bill provides that
applications for benefits under his act
must be made by veterans before

Harding and the Senators OF both
parties who united to prevent the
passage OF the bin over his veto made
deep impression on Senators who
fallaciously attached political impor-
tance to the alleged power OF organ
lied soldier voters.
No other act OF President Harding
has provoked so much widespread and
earnest Endorsement as his veto OF the
bonus scheme. His courage and firm
ness In dealing with q most irritating
situation have won him the respect of
party leaders. who were inclined to
attach too much Importance to their
personal influence with him.
shower OF Messages.
kilograms and letters from all parts
OF the country have showered on the
White House during the last two
days. Advocates Of the bonus scheme,
who fiouted his wise counsel, are now
convinced Of the fact that the Presi-
dent will refuse to be swerved either
by political or personal expediency,
but will think in terms OF the whole
country. Also they are convinced
that he is the best asset OF their party
and has done more to supply somc-
thing approaching real character than
can be said of the representatives of
1t in either house of Congress.
In appraising the factors that ulti-
mately prevented the overriding Of
the Presidents veto the leaders on
both sides OF the fight generally agree.
The most important element in de-
termining the result was the firm
poise and consistent courage of the
President in guarding the doors Of the
Treasury against the political raiders
and their military allies.

cECRETARY OF THE TREAS
URy MELLON believes that
defeat of soldiers bonus legis-
lation has removed what threatened
to be very serious inpediment to
the Governments entire program
for financing the nations needs.
and for refunding outstanding in
debtedness.
The Government faces the task of
refunding $4,000, ,OO0. 900 Of Govern
ment securities, which mature by
January /. 1928. The Treasury
plan for these operations is rem
dered much less difiicult now that
the bonus legislation has been de-
feated.
The plan probably will take the
form of long time obligations for
the short time securities. which
mature before the close of the year.
These include $625, ,00o. 900 War Saw
ing certificates, 5000, 900, 900 Victory
notes and $3.50, ,oDo, ,oo0 Treasury GER
tificates OF Indebtedness.

claim any responsibility for the meas
urc, and the Senators who supported
the defeated Fordney -McCumbcr bill
displayed only mild interest in the new
measure.
The Bursum offering is a diluted
bonus affair based on the immediate
payment of cash pittances to limited
number Of ex-service men. 1t pre-
serves all of the bad features OF the
McCumber scheme which was vetoed
by President Harding and finally re-
jected by the Senate under the two
thirds rule yesterday afternoon.
Its reference to the Military Affairs
Committee of which Senator Wads-
worth IN. Y.) is chairman assures its
retention in the pigeonhole Of that
body for some time to come. 1t is
probably the first OF series Of similar
ventures that will find final resting
places In the bill boxes OF the two
houses for several years to come.
Congressional as we'll as political
leaders not only regard the bonus
proposition as dead but generally ex-
press qualification over the settlement
Of the long drawn controversy. The
one outstanding impression among
pros and ants in the bonus fight which
came to an end yesterday is that no
scheme of the sort will find favor at
the White House for the next thirty
months at least. President Harding's
message which has won him as much
praise as was ever provoked by any
recent Presidential act made this fact
Enthusiastically plain.
Congress Weary of scheme.
Consequently the popping up Of the
Bursum scheme and the threats to
keep up the fight OF the promoters OF
the defeated $4,000, 100000 raid, are
more interesting than important or
disturbing to executive officials of the
Government and political leaders. Fur
ther than this members Of Congress
have wearied of the bonus scheme
They console themselves with the be-
lief that they have fully liquidatd the
individual pledges made by them by
voting not only once but twice to put

The defeat OF the measure in the
