Advocates OF reclamation staged a
fight against the adoption of the con-
ference report because OF the elm
ination by the conferees OF the Nc
Nary amendment providing an ap-
preparation of ss50,000. 900 for the
development OF the arid lands of the
West and the swamp lands OF the
South.
Senator Simmons. whose amend
ment 10 pay the bonus by using the
foreign war loan was also rejected
by the. conferees made an impassion-
ed appeal TO the reclamation forces
in the Senate to join with him in an
effort to have the conference report
rejected. He took the position that
the conferees had exceeded their
authority in striking out the rec
lamation provision and that the ref
erence OF the measure to conference
would not delay its passage more
than a day or two. sf--
Senator I.enroot CWls) took issue
with Senator Simmons and declared
that "the bonus bill would be put to
sleep forever II It Is referred back
to conference"
Senator Harrison (Miss.) proposed
that the conference report be refer
red back to conference. new con-
ferees be named and instructed to
re-insert the McNary reclamation
project.
Senator Cummins. president pro
tenn. ruled that the motion OF Sena-
tor Harrison was out or order. Hel
took the same position as Speaker
Gillett TO the effect that the con-
ferees did not exceed their authority |
in striking the McNary amendment
from the bill. He gave It as his
opinion that the land settlement pro-
posal in the House bill and the rec
lamation project contained IN the
bill, were two distinct pro-
posals and that they were irrecon-
cilable.
An appeal from the decision of
he chair was taken by Senator Har-
-ison, which led to considerable de-
bate upon the preliminary proce-
lure. The ruling of the chair was
sustained by a vote OF ss to 21.
During the debate on the McNary
Senator Harrison ex-
pressed the opinion that the bonus
,ill would more likely meet with the
Ipproval OF the President with that
,rovislon in II. Senator McCumberl
ook issue with him on that point.
Replying to a question Senator
IcCumber said ne did not know
what the President would
10 with the measure. but he hoped
o God he would sign st."
80 do T." responded Senator Har-
ison.
Then Senator McCumber made (
n appeal to the Senators ITO remain {
n the Job unti1 final vote is had on !
his issue" He said the Senate had (
assed the bill by more than a 2 to ] ,
ote and in the House the vote in !
avor OF the measure was more pro-
ounced.
'If you Senators will remain '
ere" he shouted. until a final I
ote is had on this measure there c
J no doubt in my mind that It will !
ecome a law" !
On the other hand anti-bonus $
enators made a final survey of the
tuation and they are optimistic over
he results. stating that they have
1ore pledges than are needed TO sus-
hin the Presidents veto of the
