SAYS HARDING
EARNED PRAISE
FOR BONUS VETO

Del Monte. Cal. Oct. s.w-Presi-
dent Harding deserved the nation
vide commendation be received
for the honesty of purpose and po-
iitieal courage he displayed in
Tetoing the bonus bill, Howard
r. Beebe. New York. president of
the Investment Bankers agaoeia-
fi0n of America. told the associa-
ton Ut the opening here today Of
ita eleventh annual convention.
Delegates representing many mil
lions In municipal and other in
vegtmenfs are present from all
parts OF the country.
the convention will end Thurs
day with the election Of officers
and the consideration OF invita-
tions from cities desiring the 1928
convention.
Mr Beabe charged that union
labor had refused to accept Its
share Of the readjustment bur
den" and that the federal and
state legislatures rush forward
with measures designed to con-
troll business, but seem 10 be re-
luctant TO insist that labor shall
be properly organized and held tc
account for It's actions"
Discussing the bonus, Mr.. Beebe
said:
Without attempting 10 express
an opinion as 10 whether a bonus
should be paid and If SO. to whom,
ii is clear that the bill which was
vetoed failed specially to provide
means Of paying the obligations
assumed. The bill as passed would
have burdened the banks OF the
country to the detriment OF regu-
lar business and would have made
II well nigh impossible for the
treasury department to arrange q
comprehensive budget"
The efforts OF congress on the
tariff have apparently met with
little approval from men Of sound
business judgment and unpreiu-
dice view" Mr.. Beebe said. tAc-
tiyities in this direction certainly
point strongly to the advisability
OF permanent tariff commission.
despite the MANY valid objections
which may be raised against that
method of handling the situation. Z

Principal Purpose to Combat
Unfavorable Impressions
Prevalent Regarding the
State Many Former
Wheelingites Are Members.

The West Virginia Association OF
New England, successor TO Inc
j West Virginia Club Of Boston, was
formed this year through the desire
OF Vest Virginians in this far OH
! section to get together for the ecu
cation OF New England in what west
! Virginia really Is, and for the very
delightful social advantages OF meet
ing and learning to know one an
other.
The association is trying in a moo
est way to minimize the feeling, pres
ent all over the country and partlcu'
/ larly In New England, that West VII
ginia is absolutely the worst place 10
live In, the worst piece OF land TO i've
on, and inhabited by the worst KIND
| of people Imaginable. West virgins
ians love their state and are OF the
tyne that do not like to sec 1t done
an Injustice. So. they have oanoeo
together, students, professors ana
! residents, to try to overcome TINS
widespread talk Of West Virginia IN
the same breath with Mexico anu
other uncivilized countries.
Then the social part OF the associa'
ton is a very big part OF 1t. Inc
