Bonus Now Up to Senate.

Passed by the House yesterday by
an overwhelming majority, the soldier
bonus bill still has to run the Santle:
Of the Senate and of executive scru-
tiny, and it is by no means assured
that it ever will be written into law in
its present form. While the vote in
the House was 333 to 20. a wide mar
gin over the two thirds vote necessary
to override a presidential veto, the de.
bate made it plain that great many
members who voted for the measure
are not satisfied with its provisions.
The rule under which the vote was
taken yesterday shut off opportunity
for amendments, but should the Senate
pass the bill in amended form the
House either could concur by a ma
jority vote or send the measure to
conference, and by a majority vote ac-
cept a modified bill agreed to by the
conferees.
There is large body of sentiment
in the House in support Of the view
Of President Harding and Secretary
Mellon that no bonus should be voted
without provision for raising the
money to meet its charges, and the
logic OF this view now is emphasized
by the disclosure that 1922 tax collec-
tions will fall 100000. 600 below the
estimates. The best information as to
Senate opinion is that if a bonus bill
is passed by that body at the present
session: it will be accompanied by some
provision for additional taxation,
either through a sales tax or other
wise, thus eliminating the very serious
menace to national well-being found
in the present measure. That the
House would agree to such an amend.
ed bonus program is generally &C.
cepted.

The Function of the Flea.

A French scientist has found a COM
plete biological Justification of the
hea-except to the minds of those
who would not concede any right Of
life to the dog. In spite of his more
genial qualities, the dog is q moody
creature, unable to keep his mind of
the unhappy side Of life long at q
time. and much given to fits Of un-
healthful introspection. His mournful
bowling at the moon has been noticed
clear back into ancient times. not be-
cause the moon has done anything
to him. but merely because there is
nothing better to howl at in sight.
II it is the dark of the moon when
the At comes over him, and nothing
else is in sight to howl at, he just
sits down on his launches and howls
at random.
And there is where the benign min
istry Of the flea comes in. Left to his
own thoughts and impulses, the dog
might easily howl himself into in
sanity; but hesfinds "a most salutary
distraction" our French scientist as

The Small Loan Bills.

There ought to be no question as to
which Of the two small loan bills now
in Congress should receive Legislative
sanction. These bills represent the
best conception of their respective
authors as to certain public needs and
there ought not to be injected, and
probably will not be injected, any per.
sonal bitterness in the discussion Of
the features Of these bills. They ought
to be. considered on their merits, and
that which comes nearest meeting the
situation sought to be corrected should
be approved.
But this much is plain: One Of these
bills, known as the Commissioners
bill, was drafted in consultation be-
tween the District authorities and
the citizens committee ON remedial
loan law, and it IL perfectly safe to
say that in that committee Is a more
intimate and nearly exact knowledge
Of the history and requirements Of
loan legislation In the District than
is to be found in any other body.
This bill has been approved by the
Board of Trade, Chamber Of Com
merce and the Federation Of Citizens
Associations, and will stand every
form Of analysis that can be applied
to It,, The. main aim of the people
behind this bill, and they represent the

making small loans to persons needing

to protect the borrowers against ex-
tortion and other fraud. These are the
people who drove the loan sharks out
OF the District. convicted them in the
courts. and they want to keep them
out Of the District.
The other bill in Congress, called the
pawnbrokers' bill, has not behind it
the thought. experience and civic in.
dorsement Of the Commissioners bill,
and it contains certain, features, or GER
tain omissions, which the citizens be-
hind the Commissioners bill fear may
permit a return to business in the
District Of men who were convicted Of
loan sharking. The pawnbrokers' bill
makes new law and reopena the
whole subject, whereas the Commits
sioners' bill simply amends the present
law, which has been sustained by sew.
eral decisions in the Court Of Appeals
and two in the Supreme Court Of the
United States. The only change the
Commissioners' bill would make in the
existing law is an increase in the rate
Of interest from per cent to per

this subject say that this rate will en-.

ness in lending money In small sums
on notes and pledges. And it should
be borne in mind that the present low
rate Of interest allowed. which has
extinguished the legitimate business of
nloney.lending and stimulated Illicit
money-lending with extortionate prac-
tices, was not the rate of interest pro.
posed by the loan-shark hunters when
they backed the bill which became a
law February 4. 1918. and which Is
now the law. That low rate Of in
terest was put in the bill by amend
ment against the opposition Of the
loan-shark hunters.
The Commissioners bill has been in
the hands Of the District committee Of
the House for q long time. No hear
ings have been held on it and no ac.
ton has been taken on it. In the Sen.
ate the Commissioners bill has been
reported out Of the District commit
tee, and has been on the Senate calen-
dar since June 90. 1891. The Commits.
sioners' bill should be favorably re.
ported from the House District COM

Gen. Coxey's Threat.

Gen. Coxey, Of Coxey army fame,
threatens another invasion Of Wash.
ington. This time he has in mind
pressing Congress to consider and
pass certain economic measures he has
prepared bearing upon the unemploy.
ment question. a
The first invasion took place TWEEN.
ty-eight years ago. At that time there
was considerable unrest in the coun-
try, and this Ohio man conceived the
idea Of leading a force of the Idle and
discontented, gathered along a route
from the Buckeye state. into Wash
ington and impressing Congress with
"the majesty Of numbers"
But by the time the force reached
Washington the numbers were lack
ing. Only q weary and bedraggled
squad Of men found the way down
Pennsylvania avenue to tho Capitol
and there confronted g. prominent
warning. Keep of the grass" The
whole affair was a fizzle. and served
only as entertainment Of no high
order.
There is much more unrest In the
country today, and something like an
army might be recruited for spectacu
lar purposes. But would an army thus
paraded on Capitol Hill influence Con
gress in favor Of any measure or meas
ures it was advocating? On the con
trary, would not tho spirit of co
ercion, SO plainly il crudely displayed
be likely to influence Congress out o.

Agreement on Land Purchase.

The conferees on the appropriation
bill for Independent establishments
have agreed to the item Of 81 500, 900
for the purchase of seven plots Of
ground on which the governments
lease is about to expire. and on which
certain war buildings; still necessary
for the transaction Of government
business, stand. The agreement is in
conformity with the comnionest prin.
ciples of common sense. The govern
ment spent 100000 In putting up
these buildings. They are not hand.
torn down as soon as they are no
longer needed. But the government,
through responsible officials. says that
these buildings. with 4 floor space Of
about $4,000 square feet, are needed.
and that il possession Of them Is re-
linquished at the expiration of the
lease on the private-owned land the
government will be under the neces-
sity Of renting q like amount Of ONCE
space at an annual rental OF some.
thing like half q million dollars.
1t has been pointed out that three
years rental at such a figure would
equal the price Of the land on which
the buildings stand, and that the gov.
ernment could use the temporary
buildings for fifteen years. 1t is cheap
er to buy the land and use the pres
ent buildings than to vacate them and
rent other quarters. and above all this
the government will own a large tract
Of land which it can ultimately add to
Potomac Park or use as sites for per-
manent government buildings, the
reed Of which is already felt and will
be felt much more keenly as time
passes. With such facts and figures
before it, it may be assumed that the
House will accept the conference re-
port as in full accord with its program
Of economy and efficiency for the gov

The Coal Strike.

Developments OF the hour In the
situation touching the Impending coal
strike present many serious and
oninous features, forecasting bitter
contest between the operators and the
miners. with possibility Of workers in
other industries being drawn into the
melee. elimination and recrimination
as to motive and intention come from
both sides. No power to prevent the
strike seems possible Of application.
Today the policy committee Of the
miners is meeting in Cleveland to take
steps "to cause the strike to run auto
matically once it is started" The
anthracite miners and operators agree
upon plans for the protection Of the
collieries while the strike is on.
The country meantime is digging
in" for the battle by stocking up in
dustries with coal for q long siege.
President Lewis of the union asserts
that "big business is seeking to
crush unionism. Samuel Gompers Of
the Federation Of Labor promises
"united and effective support" Of his
great organization, and President
Lewis announces that the Fail and
Miners Protective Alliance has been
formed, with a membership Of 275.00o
railway men and miners, to resist the
alleged attempt to break down the
unions.
All is not harmony within the
miners ranks, however. Illinois miners
demand the right to make a separate
agreement with the operators, which
President Lewis opposes. 1t in assert
ed that If Illinois should be allowed to
mine while an otherwise general strike
were on, the coal trade Of Lake Erie
ports, for the upper lakes and the
million dollars a year, would go to
Illinois. This proposition will be taken
up at today's meeting In Cleveland.
What of the governments attitude?
Attorney General Daugherty is quoted
as intin1ating that the Department Of
Justice may have something to say at
one minute past midnight March 81 {,
adding that action by the government
would be q step further than has
been taken by any other govern
ment, a little more drastic and a
little more specific. Commenting upon
the Attorney Generals warning
against violence, William Green, sec-
retary.treasurer Of the United Mine
Workers, charges that the warning
means that the miners will be coerced
in order to insure production, but that
the operators will be the real COM
mitters Of violence by adhering to re-
fusal to meet the miners in conference
on q new contract.
And 50 the controversy goes, both
sides becoming more bitter. the gen.
eral public more certain Of being
caught between the firing lines, with
its only recourse dependence upon the
government to see that production and
transportation are maintained.

HAROLD LLOYD IN AMONG
THOSE PRESENT" AT GRAND

This young and wholly likable CO.
median has added another success to
his laudable list and one that will be
remembered for some exceedingly
clever business. In it Lloyd plays
the part of bell boy whose adlnira-
ton for "the nobility" persuades him
to impersonate his lOrdship, the
prince.
While the innocent imposter is en-
joying The adulation of his fellow
employees he is mistaken by those
higher up for the distinguished
prince, and the complications that
follow before the impersonation is
discovered will simply convulse the
most confirmed crouch. There are
riots of fun in these five reels, in
volving very courageous and
healthy determination.
There is every indication that
here is an artist who is building for
permanence. He is putting sincere
effort into his work-and more than
that, intelligent effort. He is crowd
ing three reels full of action, and he
has built it about a plot that, which
though light, is adequate to give sub
stance and weight to the offering.
1t has some bright bits of new
business that are sure to bring a
thrill; and there are almost as many
hair-raising stunts as Lloyd gave US
in High and Dizzy" Any way you
take it, Among Those Present" is
great entertainment and a decided
advance in comedy of this order. 1t
is a worthy successor to the other
subjects that have established Lloyd
a san artist and a comedian of the
first water.
