Plan Only in incubation

VjuU OUty III luCuudlIUU
The task of working out the plan
Wednesday was assigned to special
b-committee, which was appointed by
what was described as "a unanimous
consent after the majority members
had failed to agree on $ny method Of
financing the cash payments which it
had been planned should be spread
over a period of two and one half
years from next October /. The sub
committee had its first meeting late
Wednesday and it is understood.

possibly members of the federal re-
serve board for discussion Of the
whole proposal.
Emphasizing that the suggested plan
was in only the incubation stage.
Representative Longworth. of Ohio. a
member of the subcommittee, said it
probably would be a week or more be-
fore the subcommittee had completed
its work. Whatever program is agreed
upon must be submitted to the other
majority members for a decision and
it appeared probable that it would be
at least month before the bill, as
agreed upon, would be ready for the
house.
Gives 3.38 Times as Much as Cash
Committee members said it was not
proposed to change the vocational
training, farm and home aid and land
settlement features of the Fordney
bill. Some of them thought, however,
that the certificate feature would be
so attractive that a great majority of
the men would elect that option of the
bill
Under the plan now contemplated,
the face value of the adjusted service
would be equal to the sum of the ad
justed service pay of the veteran Zone

great power supplies to the eastern

Governor Miller emphasized the cost
of the project and branded the hnter-

worthlessness. The cost, he added.
would greatly exceed the estimate of
$3.50, 900 600 and he declared that the
project ought not to proceed without
further extensive investigation.
Question Of Cost Raised
Cost of the project figured largely
throughout the debate. In conclusion,
Governor Allen declared:
1T isn't a question Of cost. but it's
question of giving to 43,O0O000
Americans of the middle west the. use

Governor Miller had the last word

Allen after all, were "very close to-

REVOLT BEHIND.
LLOYD GEORGES
THREAT TO QUIT
Die-Hard Tories Have
Been Indulging in
Coalition Backbiting.
Meanwhile Asquith and
Labor Factions Have
Been Winning Seats.

London. March 1-(By The Associ-
ated Press) Premier Lloyd George
has thus far made no public threat to
resign, but he has done SO definitely
to Austen Chamberlain and other
Uninoist leaders. His action is in the
nature of a protest against the tactics
that have been employed to undermine
his power in the coalition and In par
lament.
If the prime minister presents his
resignation, it will merely be per
eonal resignation and not the resigna-
ton of the government,
The prime minister's threat of reslg-
nation has been the political sensation
of the day. Hints of Mr.. Lloyd Georges $
resignation have been current ever
since Sir George Younger, head OF the
conservative party organization, en-
gineered a revolt of some % DIE
hard tories against the premier dur
ing the latter's absence at the Cannes
meeting.
No Longer One Banner
One outcome of that revolt was a
virtual split in the coalition and pub
lie abandonment of the system, under
which heretofore candidates, whether
conservative or liberal, entered the
electoral contests under united ban
ner. ,
The attitude of the 'die hards''' IS
that they decline to recognize Lloyd
Georges leadership unless they are
allowed to- dictate the policy OF the
coalition, which would include restora-
ton of the legislative veto TO tne n.
house Of lords and protective tariff.
Chamberlain STAYED 1t Oft
The prime minister is said to have
threatened to resign when he returned
from Cannes, but was dlssuaded by
Austen Chamberlain. Since then, dis
integration in the coalition has proceed
ed rapidly. large body OF the con-
servatives showing a disposition to
support the revolving element: AT the
same time, recent by-eiectlons IN
which the government candidates were
defeated, tended to show that the
country was out of sympathy with the
coalition. while the labor party and
the Asquithian liberals who opposed
the coalition, were constantly gaming
strength.
Elections Going Other Way

the belief that general elections We're
approaching, has overshadoWed al

29 Votes Height OF Opposition
Ratification of the Yap treaty fol-
lowed an all-day battle over reserva-
tions and amendments. during which
dissatisfied senators on the demo-
cratic side, joined by a few repubi-
cans. sought unsuccessfully to attach
qualifications to the ratification reso-
luton. A half dozen proposals. all
presented by democratic senators. were
voted down successively by overwhelm-
ing majorities.
The reservationists made their prin-
cipal fight and reached the high water
amendment which would have declared
that the United States should be the
sole judge as to whether American
radio development on zap is war
ranted. Under the treaty, no American
plant is to be installed there as long
as Japan maintains one adequate to
meet the situation, but proponents of
the amendment argued that contro-
versy might arise over the question

seauent ratification roll calls they ex-
pected to lose very few of the votes

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
htlmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisement.
