provided by the McCumber measure.
The Senate only devoted five
minutes to the Bursum project and
voted it down before the New Mexico
Senator could arrange a sheaf OF man
uscript on which was typed a long
address in support OF the scheme ad-
vocated by him. He will probably
have an opportunity tomorrow or at
some future date to point out the
merits of his proposition.
Mr.. McCumber was the star and
almost the only performer in the OPEN
ing debate. His request that Senators
permit him to make his speech was
respected When he finished Mr..
Robinson and Mr.. sWadsworth pro-
pounded question or two.
Queried on n Discrimination.
Mr.. Wadsworth demanded to know
the reason for emitting from the list
of beneficiaries of the proposed bonus
officers below the rank of Major who
were compelled to perform valuable
necessary work of an administrative
or clerical character and who had
Communication privileges the same as
those engaged in actual military
operations. He expressed the opinion
that the discrimination was very un-
just.
Admitting for the sake of argu-
ment," said Mr.. Wadsworth. "that this
is a good bill would like the Senator
from North Dakota to tell us why this
discrimination was observed by the
trainers of the legislation"
Mr.. McCumber did not appear to be
very well informed on the point. He
took refuge in the statement that the
limitation of benefits proposed had
been decided on by the Ways and
Means Committee of the House, which
initiated the legislation presented to
the Senate by the Finance Committee.
Aside from Mr.. Wadsworth's in
terrogation the supporters of the
bonus had the right of way. which
means that Mr.. McCumber was per-
mitted the fullest latitude in explain
ing the bill to the Senate sitting as a
Committee of the Whole.
Antis Are Receptive.
The anti-bonus Senators sat quietly
throughout the speech and subsequent
proceedings with the air Of men who
desired the fullest information and
arguments that the supporters of the
bonus scheme desired to offer. Before

Washington, ID. G., Aug. %.
Senator McCumber. joint author of the
50. 600, 100000 bonus raid, opened the
fight for that measure in the Senate this
afternoon by reading a speech for two
hours. After explaining in detail the
terms of the bill. which already have
been published In THE NEW YORK HER
AID. Mr.. McCumber reviewed the his
tory of the attempts OF Congress to
pass a bonus bill.
He said the present undertaking was
the third effort in that direction. He
attributed the bills opposition to "peo-
pie who reaped millions during the war"
He declared that persons opposing the
bill were trying to prevent "a meager
percentage of their gains going TO the
ex-service men,"
Mr.. McCumber recalled the opposition
of the President to the measure last
year and the Executives reply that ac-
ton should be delayed until the foreign
debt had been funded. on that point
Mr. McCumber said:
ITO be sure, Mr.. President, we have
not yet funded our foreign loans. To
my mind there has been unnecessary
delay In funding these obligations. The
law providing for a commission to set
| tie these Obligations was approved Febru-
airy 3, 1922. and the last OF the appoin-
tees on that commission were confirmed
by the Senate on April II, 1922.
Critical on Foreign Debt.
II. therefore, can see no reason in
the world why we should not at least
have a settlement with our principal
debtors. Great Britain, France and
| Italy, before January /. 1923. But ir-
respective of this funding Great Britain
| Is preparing to meet the interest due
this fall, and if she does, we will have
| in advance a sufficient sum from that
source alone, to more than meet the
| first years obligation under this meas
ure. And. Mr.. President, that assurance
meets the substance, If not the letter,
OF the Presidents request for delay. 1t
answers this query would 1t not be
better to wait the settlement of our for
eign debt?'"
Next Chairman McCumber told how
an effort was made to finance the bonus
through special taxes. and the food OF
protests which swamped Congress by
dealers and users in those commodities.
He candidly admitted the possibility

Mr. McCumber also used this argu-
ment TO take fling at the metropolitan
newspapers, saying: Il called atten-
tion to the extent of the looting of the
Treasury everywhere, of the awful
wastefulness, of the destruction of prop
erty, of the billions that were being
piled up in bonded Indebtedness to meet

Of extravaganza.

are now condemning Congress and

just rights saying at that time? Did a
single one OF them attempt to bring be-
fore the American people any idea Of
what was going on in The United States
in piling up without any tangible result
an enormous indebtedness which must
some day be paid with heavy taxes?

that a future Congress might be called
upon to provide funds 70 meet the OBJ
legations Of the bill. Senators from the
agricultural districts were somewhat
amazed at the declaration that IF II
were necessary for me TO make choice
between paying TO our soldiers S7S,000.-
900, in 1928 and paying out S125,OOo,OOO
for our good roads, / would unhesi-
tatingly say postpone the road ex-
pense."
Chairman McCumber made that OBJ
servation in pointing out the various
economies which the Government might
practice to meet the requirements OF the
bonus raid without imposing any addi-
tional taxes on the people.
Points 10 Gold Hoard.
In support OF his argument that the
granting Of the bonus would not hurt
the financial or economic situation OF
the country, Chairman McCumber told
OF the vast hoard OF gold in this coun-
try and of the billions OF unused credit
which lies in American bank vaults to-
day. according TO the latest report OF the
Federal reserve system"
Then he asked does this look. Mr..
President, as though S7S,o00.000 would
seriously affect the country's credit In
lHe year lJlos AdINiltllB the iONcl :
ing skies in the financial world a year.
/ ssk the Secretary Of the Treasury and
the President OF the United States to
view this proposed legislation in the light
of present conditions, and these changed
conditions certainly must appeal to the
judgment for a revision Of the views of
a year ago. We can meet every dollar
this bill will call for without additional
tax levy and without in the slightest
degree affecting the refunding of any
unpaid short time obligations"
Mr.. MeCumber stressed the great
moral obligation on the part of the
Government to increase the compensa-
tion of those who fought our battles
to make that compensation more nearly
equal to the pay Of those who stayed at
home"
While on that subject he took oc-
casion to score the Wilson adminlstra-
tion for the wasteful use of money dur
ing the war, especially in connection
with the construction of needed build
ings. He declared that during the erec-
tion of buildings around Washington not
more than one third of those on the
payrolls worked at any one time and
that the buildings cost five times as
much as they should have. He scored
the cost-plus contracts. pointing out that
they offered fine opportunity for pad
ded payrolls and heavy cost of con-
struction.

BIG ADVANCE IN NEVADA
POTATO CULTURE REPORTED

Improvement in Nevada crop pro
duction- this year ranges iron
twelve to eighty-nine per cent, the
current bulletin on crop estimates
issued by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, shows.
When the reports of yields came
in, its was apparent that much OF
the Improvement reported in Ne
vada grain crops the last few
months was in appearances only, the
bulletin states. Even at that, the
crop is rather better than last year
Wheat production is greater by
twenty-five per cent; potatoes by
eighty-nine per cent, and hay by
twelve per cent.
The production figures on truel
crops, which are made in per.
centages instead of quantities, show
no material departure from the
average. Fruits are better thar
last year, though still short crop
Pasture and ranges are reported
in excellent condition except in the
northern fourth of the state. In
this section deterioration due tt
drought has been extensive espe.
cially on the eastern and western
edges.
While the area planted to winter
wheat was one-third less than in
1921, production approximates A..
600 bushels, according to the Off
cial estimate. The area planted tt
spring wheat is greater and the
yield per acre is also greater, sc
that the production is $4,000 blu.
shells as against $4,000 bushels
last year.
The production of oats approx.
mates 100000 acres, as compared
with 10000 acres last year. The
1922 tame-hay production is 537,.
900 tons and in 1921 it was 437,.
600 tons. The 1922 production OF
wild hay is $4,000 tons, while in
1921 it was 100000 tons. Potato
production increased from 592,.
600 tons to 1,116,000 tons and con.
dit!on increased from eighty-two
per cent to ninety-four per cent.

.P|TTMAN CLAIMS
MUCH DID LITTLE
Fight Waged To Get Cyanide On
Free List was Made by Senator
Oddie Who Had to Cope
With Resentment

To those who heard or read
Senator Pittman's speech that he
delivered here in Winnemucca at
the American theatre wherein he
claimed about all the credit due
anybody for placing cyanide on the
free list, it undoubtedly will be
surprising to learn that Buckley
Wells, recognized as one of the
biggest mining men of the country,
gives credit to Senator Tasker L.
Oddie for the achievement.
Pittman, it will be remembered,
asserted in his speech that he
forced free cyanide by threaten
ing to use his influence against
some pet measures that Senator
Lodge and other influential eastern
Republican senators feared they
could not swing" unless he was
favorable to them. But here is
what Buckley Wells wrote to Sena-
tor Oddie in a recent letter:
II desire to express to you my
personal and very sincere apprecia-
ton of the successful fight you have
made for free cyanide. The issues
involved were far more important
than appeared on the surface and
for this reason unlimited credit is
due you."
Of course 1t is possible that Buck
ley Wells is not familiar with the
vast power and influence Senator
Pittman has acquired among the
Republican senators since the Demo-
cratic administration was displaced
The fact of the matter is that
Senator Oddie waged an almost
single-handed fight for free cyanide.
1t is true that Senator Pittman
made one or two speeches in favor
of it. But they were a hindrance
to Senator Oddie, rather than a
help, because Pittman attacked the
motives of the members of the Re-
publican committee on finance,
which had recommended a duty of
ten per cent on cyanide. Instead
of changing the sentiments of any
Republican eastern senators the
Pittman speeches had the effect of
making them more determined to
stand by the committee recommends
tions. The committee first recon-
mended twenty per cent duty on
cyanide but Senator Oddie went be-
fore the committee and succeeded in
getting the recommendation reduced
to a ten per cent duty. He then
carried the fight to the floor of the
senate with the result that cyanide
was placed on the free list. The
Washington correspondents of prac-
tically all the large eastern papers
gave him exclusive credit for it.

The new tariff law certainly does
one thing-it absolutely protects
agricultural products from destruc-
tive foreign competition and as
sures the American farmer of his
nome market. Its flexible provision
guarantees that industry will like
wise have adequate protection.
Protected farm products will result
IN increased purchases by farmers
OF the products of manufacture
and protected manufactures means
steady employment at American
wage standards which will result in
increased purchases of the products
OF the American farm. If the
Democratic party wants to make an
issue OF that, the Republicans will
meet them more than half way, con-
fident of the result.

A phrenologer once examined our
topknot, just after we had been the
center of a fracas in which brick
bats and ballbats were missiles that
did not miss; and the craniologist,
as he rubbed the bumps, was some
what puzzled. AS a diagnostician
that bird was lamentably feeble, but
as he was an adept in the art of
flattery, he said, after recovering
from the shock resulting from en-
countering SO many unique high
spots on one head: "This young
man is going to rise in the world
Right at this moment, folks, I can
feel places onsthe young mans head
that indicate a propensity to push
up" Because, we suppose, that bit
of head-rubbing was one of the
most painful and trying ordeals we
have ever experienced, it indelibly
impressed itself upon our mind, and
every time we enter an elevator
it is made plain to us that the
phrenologer cuss knew what he was
chattering about when he said,
This young man is going to rise."
We have fulfilled the prophecy, time
and time again, with marked aplomb
carefully corked in our pistol
pocket.

AS part of her reparations obi
cations, Germany has paid about
1,50O,O00,000 gold marks in cash
to the allies. That is about $780,
100000 in our money. Recent COM
pilations show that Americans have
paid in dollars over two and a half
times that amount for German
paper marks, practically all of which
is apparently now loss. In other
words, American citizens have fur
nished Germany with enough gold
to pay her cash indemnities to the
allies more than twice over. But
there are some people who still per-
sist that we have not done our full
part toward the rehabilitation of
Europe.
