regulated until they were crippled.
Capitol had been driven away from
investing in them. This had reference
probably more to the small Investor
than the large one, because the small
investor looks out more for the rate
of interest on his investment, while
the large investor considers the rate
of interest secondary and the security
of the principal the first point to be
looked after.
"LaFollette's Seaman's Act, while it
primarily looked like law to protect
human life, has succeeded in driving
American ships from under our flag.
People took the lower freight and
passenger rates, offered by the for
eign vessels, and our vessels had to
register under a foreign flag to eS,
cape the restrictions and extra ew
pense imposed by the Seaman's Act
Many are advocating ship subsidy
to balance the extra overhead cost
imposed on American ships by the La
Toilette Seaman's Act.
"Stalwart" Not Bad Name, -
II never thought that belonged to
tn stalwart wing of the Republican
party. Stalwart is not bad name,
look in your dictionary. / would like
to be thought progressive, but in these
times conservative is the better name.
If were driving along a new and UNI
kept road / would want to progress at
such moderate speed, that l could
stop when wanted to. For instance,
If found a culvert washed out, or a
bog in which fellow traveller was
stuck. | had rather stop than rush in
| with him and on top of him. Lenine
has been the most progressive charac-
ter of the day, but we find few in this
country that admire his progress.
What made me think of Lenine, is La
Follette's advocacy of overthfowing
the constitution in favor of mob rule.
We have our Congress to make or
draft our laws, then the President to
weigh and approve or disapprove them
and then the Supreme court to see if
they are in line and harmony with
our foundation law-the constitution.
Now Mr.. LoFollette wants to give
Congress the power to call law con-
stitutional whether it is or not, and
Congress has not the best of names
today.
His Fight on Newberry.
Gone of the big cards that is being
played for LaFollette today, is that he
voted against seating Newberry of
Michigan. Newberry has wealth and he
used it to get elected. LaFolIette has
wealth and he is using it to get elect
ed. sNewberry's wealth is in money
or it's equivalent. LaFollette's wealth
is in ry-propaganda. do not
think for minute that he-LaFollette
trained lawyer, would advocate the
reduction of the Supreme court to a
second or third rate place in our gov
eminent, if he thought it would carry.
His advocacy of that measure is sim
| ply propaganda to stir up restless
people who don't think soberly, and are
willing to follow anyone who offers
them something new and exciting, es-
pecially something against the govern
ment or against existing conditions.
Therefore l fail to see where the La
Toilette pot has right to call the
Newberry kettle black. Money used
unfairly, stinks, and propaganda used
to mislead, defraud, misstate the
truth, is not over fragrant"

M'CUNIBER URGES
SOLDIERS BONUS
North Dakota Senator Demands Imme-
date Enactment of Long
Contested Bill.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.l

Washington, D. C. - Enactment of
the soldiers bonus legislation at this
session of Congress is demanded by
every precept of financial justice and
every principal of political honor,
Chairman McCumber of the finance
committee declared today in opening
Senate debate on the amended public
bill, with its bank loan certificate pro-
vision in lieu of the original proposal
for cash bonus.
The finance committee chairman told
the Senate the time had come for Con-
gress to show that it was not attempt
ing to play politics with the American
soldier, that it was acting in good
faith" when it passed the first bonus
Just before the elections in 1920.
Referring to the position taken by
President Harding and Secretary Mel
lon last year, when the executives ask
ed the Senate to defer action on the
bonus bill because of the then finan-
cial condition of the treasury, Senator
McCumber requested that they now
view the legislation Gin the light OF
present day conditions"
Senator McCumber argued that the
funds necessary for the financing
of the bonus legislation could be OBJ.
tanned from the refunded foreign debt
and that if the refunding were not
completed when it became effective
the interest from the British debt
which, he said, the British government
already had planned to pay, would be
sufficient.
AS to the cost of the legislation Mr.
McCumber estimated this at total OF
S3,S45 100000, spread over forty years
For the next calendar year he placed
the cost at $77,440,S99, increased tc
S98,177,7 29 for 1926 and decreased tc
$73,1OO 1862 in 1928. The cost woult
run into several hundred million il
1926 when the veterans could call or
the government for loans on the ad
justed service certificates but the
speaker said that by 1880 the cost
annually would drop to $s1 ,00o,o 900 with
only very few millions thereafter un
Ill 1943 when the certificates would
come due.

TODAY'S QUESTION:

What is the first thing that you
think of when you get up in the morn
ing?
ANSWERS:
F. G. Clayton, Elizabeth street,
salesman : Well, if it's Sunday morn
ing / think of church. On any other
day always look out Of the window
to see if it's going to- be nice day;
if it is, l get up right away; if it
looks like rain go back to sleep.
C. ]. Robinson, St. Louis, travelling
salesman 1t all depends on where !
am at the time. If I'm away from
home / think of my wife and kiddies
and when I'm home I'm most always
reaching for the alarm clock to throw
it into the neighbours yard. Outside
of that / think business"
Miss Margaret Tanley, Nash office
clerk - think of lots of things in
the morning. l think that one more
day has approached making it that
much sooner for the time when I am
returning to college this fall. The
time never goes so slow as it does
when you are waiting for some big
event to come around
Miss M. b., store clerk = This morn
ing the first thing l thought of was
whether the water was going to be
warm this afternoon. Last Wednesday
afternoon the rain spoiled perfect
ly good afternoon and hope this day
it'll do all the raining after l get
through bathing. Why don't they get
spring board out there, anyhow?

WOULD FIX STATUS
OF SHIPPING BOARD
Petition Asks Supreme Court of Ma
tion to Fully Interpret It's
Right
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)


Washington, D. C. 4 Asserting there
is an apparent irreconcilable con-
flict between the doctrine" announc
ed by the supreme court in its recent
decisions defining the Emergency
Fleet corporation and "the settle rule
established by the court in a number
of prior decisions, the government has
filed petition asking for hearing.
The opinion had introduced prac-
teal difficulty Of far reaching effec-
tiveness with reference to the admin
istrative action of various government
officials, the petition asserts. 1t asks
whether contracts made by the fleet
corporation are contracts of the Unit
ed States and what authority the ship
ping board or the fleet corporation has
to use further government funds for
the payment of the debts of the fleet
corporation when incurred under con-
tracts made by it. The government al
SO wants to know whether the treas
ury officials are justified in honoring
checks drawn by the fleet corporation
for paying debts or satisfying claims
for damages.
1t is pointed out in the petition
that the fleet corporation in it's own
capacity and not as representing the
United States has no assets, but it has
enormous debts which the court stat
ed "are its debts and not the debt of
the United States" 1t is explained
that there are hundreds of such claims
pending against it, for sums aggregat-
ing more than $1O0,O00,0OO and the
court is asked whether all payments
thereon from treasury funds must be
suspended.
The government also wants to know
whether funds derived from the sale
of ships can be applied by the fleet
corporation to the payment of dam
ages claimed against it, or whether the
money belongs to the United States.
As the opinion will become the guide
for Unites States district courts in
dealing with hundreds of suits through
out the country, the government asks
for re-argument as a. means of pre-
venting "many future appeals and much
litigation apparently now inevitable"

New York City.-American railroad
presidents went into session this af
ternoon at the Yale club to vote on a
resplution to be submitted by a sub
committee embodying the reply to be
made to last weeks proposals by me-
dating brotherhood chiefs for settle
ment of the nationwide shipments
strike. 1t was understood that the
carrier heads at their morning session
had voted unanimously to stand pat on
their refusal to reinstate strikers with
full seniority rights, but that the re-
ply would contain counter-proposals
leaving the door to peace still open.
Thls reply, it was expected, would be
conveyed to the mediators late today.
Brotherhood Issues Statement.
A statement issued by the brother
hoods mediation committee read:
1.-THE mediation committee of the five
transportation organizations has re-
turned to New York to be of any serv-
ice it can in effecting a settlement.
We are holding ourselves in readiness
for immediate conferences with the
executives whenever they may desire
them and are continually in touch with
officers of the union"
'The strike can be settled because it
must be settled, because the public de-
mands a settlement" the statement
continued. "The crews who now OPP
crate the trains form that part of the
public which knows best why settle
ment must come.
"We hope that patience will estab-
lish peace and we believe newspaper
propaganda by either side will produce
nothing but embarrassment for both
sides"
1t later was announced that a meet
ing of the mediation committee and the
committee of executives who drew up
the resolution would be held at the
Grand Central terminal at o'clock, at
which time the answer of the carriers
would be transmitted.
Shortly before o'clock the commit
tee representing the executives left
with their answer for the Grand Cen
trail station and there met the media
ton committee of brotherhood men.

Screams Bring Neighbors.

The next instant the air was rent
with a child's screams, and a woman
neighbor living across the street, who
had just gone to the door to call in
her own playing child, heard the cries
and beheld Amelia in a fringe of
flame. She ran toward the child but
Amelia fed shrieking in the other
direction, calling fearfully Mamma!
Mammal" Billowing skirts of flame
stood out from the little figure, as the
neighbor desperately pursued her,
caught her finally and extinguished
the blaze, but perhaps too late. For
poor little Amelia was mass of tor
tured flesh from her knees to her head.
The hair was singed but not burned
off, and there was some hope that the
small sufferer had not inhaled the
flames. The mother returned from her
shopping just as the child had been
caught and rolled into cloths and the
doctor summoned. Amelia was taken
to St. GATHERINGS hospital.
DR.. Caughey, who is in charge of
the case, said that the little girl had
only one chance in hundred Of sur
viving; that it was very possible that
the injury would prove fatal to the
| little girl.

little Amelia Zuzenic, the fve-year-

Zuzenic, 358 Ounce street, was car

before noon, a mass of burns, ac-
companied by wailing and de-
straight mother.
Because the stores are closed this
afternoon, Mrs. Zuzenic had gone out
to do some belated shopping before
noon, leaving her oldest married
daughter to start the dinner for the
family. Outside Andrew, son aged
about eleven, started to clean up the
yard, rake the leaves and burn the
rubbish. Amelia watched him fas-
cinated, but was warned by her brother
not to get near the fire or play with it.
The girl obeyed, until one moment
when her wtachful brother ran into
the house on an errand, when she
poked a stick surreptitiously into the
fire, to get a lighted blaze at the

FARMERS RAP FRATS
DANCING, ATHLETICS
Whitman County Farmers Union
Adopts Resolutions Asking Insti-
tutiOns of Learning to Take
Remedial Steps

Greek letter societies, extreme ath-
letics, dancing and other agencies
were listed as eXtravagances and
detriments to the students OF state
institutions, normal schools and high
schools by the Whitman County
Farmers Union, in session Tuesday
at Colfax, when the following resolu
ton was adopted following dis
cussion of the question:
Whereas, The expense of eduoa-
ton is growing by leaps and bounds,
and the taxpayers ability to meet
the demands is decreasing in like
ratio;
And whereas. According to DR..
Suzzalo. president of the University
of Washington, too much spending
money is given to a large number of
students, which causes ineffciency,
and which we feel is true of our en-
tire school system,
And whereas, The influence Of
the Greek letter societies, extreme
athletics, dancing and other actiyi-
ties which now obtain are too eXpens-
i've and strenuous for many of the
students, running their health and
making them unable, financially to
continue their school work, which is
detrimental to the average student
and the general public.
Therefore, BE it Resolved, That
the Whitman County Farmers Union,
in session now assembled at ColfaX,
this 31st day Of January, 1922, most
respectfully requests the authorities
of the U. of w, the w. S. c., the
normal and high schools OF the state
to take such action as is necessary
to place all students in an efficient,
healthy and economic atmosphere, re-
lieving the students and taxpayers of
economic burdens
