BOUNTY LOANS
NOT So FROZEN
AS PAPER HELD
Currency Chief Passed
Lots of Notes Not So
Good Says Rep. Green

Washington, March 12.-Provisions
Of the compromise soldier bonus bill
relating to bank loans to former ser
vice men have "either been misunder-
stood or misrepresented in some quar-
ters," Representative Green. Iowa,
ranking republican member of the ways
and means committee who helped re-
wise the measure, declares.
While the Iowa member made no
direct comment on the announced in
tention of Comptroller of the Curren-
cy Crissinger, to advise banks not to
accept adjusted compensation certifi-
Gates as security for loans, it was gen
orally regarded that the statement was
reply to the opinion of the bills pro-
visions expressed by Mr.. Crissinger.
No Indication Of Veto
Mr. Green's views were the first
definite expression from republicans Of
the ways and means committee as to
the stand taken by the currency comp
troller.
Coincident with Mr.. Green's declara-
ton, republican leaders in the house
declared that despite rumors reaching
the capitol that President Harding was
opposed to the present draft OF the
bonus bill, there had been no change IN
plans. which call for a report Of the
measure on Monday by the ways and
means committee and passage of the
bill by the house week later.
Representative Mondell, republican
leader, Chairman Fordney and other
members Of the ways and means COM
mittee said that, to their knowledge,
the president had given no indication
to any member Of congress that he
would veto the bill if it were passed
without sales tax provision.
May Amend Acceptance Limit
The chairman said, however, that if
probably would be amended by the
committee before favorable report is
ordered, to do away with the require
ment that war veteran must decide
within six months which Of the options
provided in the bill he would accept.
The chairman salad, however, that it
former service man accepted insur-
ance aid. it was to date retroactively
from October /, 1922
Representative Green in his state
ment said:
when the ways and means commit
tee struck out the cash provisions Of
the former BILL to which so much OBJ
lection had been made, it was thought
advisable to make some provisions for
soldiers who were or should become
in need, and for this purpose the bank
loan provision was inserted.
Guarantees Is Loan Test
1T seems to be assumed by some
that all of these loans would run to
October 1. 1925, but the date was
merely inserted as the very latest
which might be fixed for the maturity
Of loans BY the banks, in order that
transactions at the banks might there
after be closed. It was not intended

BRIEF BITS OF Wit AND WISDOM
Copyright. 1912. by The Great FAN. Tribup.

Copyright. 1912. by The Great Falls Tribune
Washington, March 12.-President
Harding, in running down to Florida
for brief period Of rest and recre-
alton at this time, is following a habit
contracted long before he ever thought
of entering the White House as chief
magistrate. Florida always has been a
great playground for the folks back
home in Marion.
The Indian river particularly has
been favorite with the Marionitee,
including the president. Around the
Marion club one can hear great tales
of former expeditions down the palm
screened river, which is really a bit of
the sea, shut in by coral reefs. Marion
boasts some wonderful alligator hunt
ers-all of them cronies Of Mr.. Hard
ing.
Many of the Marionites have alli-
gator skins to their credit as souvenirs
Of Indian river days and nights, but
the president never was particularly
fond of shooting the reptiles. He would
! rather shoot few par" holes on the
golf links than all the alligators in the
world.

became famous there have been q
thousand explanations as to the origin
of the term. First of all there. were
many efforts to impose other names
upon the American fighters. Some
bright soul suggested "sammies'' as the
proper designation, but when the sol
diers heard that they cried aloud in
the wilderness for some one to pro-
tect them from their friends. There
were several other names invented
but "doughboy" just naturally grew up
in the ranks and ''doughboy' stuck
An American woman travelling in Can
ada recently was asked at tea one aft
ernoon If she really knew where
.'doughboy' came from. She admitted
she did not.

Coal Situation Seems Clearing
This view is shared by other trade
association representatives here and by
the executives of some railroad COM
panies. A reduction IN rates on manu-
factured articles, however, is not re-
garded as likely.
The coal situation seems to be clear
ing. Coal operators and government
officials alike believe, in view OF the
changed conditions in Illinois, that the
soft coal strike will fail. The writer
is reliably Informed that coal oper-
and elsewhere are convinced that there
will be no miners strike in Illinois.
Unless Illinois miners go out, the
soft coal strike is broken before it
starts, in the opinion of observers
here.
Industries Stocking Up
Geological survey statistics indicate
that industrials are stocking bituminous
coal at faster rate than ever before:
BY April /, the date of the threatened
strike, these figures show. consumers
will have on hand from 65,OO0.ooO to
7O.OOOOOO tons. The country's stock
pile probably is almost as large as at
the time of the armistice.
A long strike, however, IS feared
by operators in the anthracite field:
There has been no industrial upheaval
of magnitude there for so many years
that, on general principles, as. some an
thracite operators see it, big strike
is overdue The meeting in New York
next Wednesday between men and op--
orators is regarded as the beginning OF
controversy that may last for months.
Financial Situation Bright
Financially. the stage is set for an
industrial revival. The current state
ment Of the federal reserve BOARD ms
closes the following heartening situa-
ton:
Within a week, the II federal re-
serve banks have increased their gold
holdings by nearly $JO,OOO,OO0. Dur
. ing the same period they have reduced
the amount Of their loans by more
than S7OOOO,OOO. The total of those
loans stands today, according to the
report. at 1892 100000. A year ago
the total was S2,515,O 100000.
$67 1000, 100000 Into Business
In the face of this remarkable show
ing, the chief national banks-SO7 in
number-put an additional $67 ,OOO,-
100000 to work in developing busi-
ness enterprises within the week.
Further, the business men added
SOL 100000 to their accounts with
these same institutions.
The federal reserve system alone al
this time, according to the boards re-
port. could safely extend more thar
IS billion dollars in additional credit.
