House to Pass
Bonus Bill AS
Is --- FOrdneV
RGps by Treasury Officials
Will Cause No ALtera-
tiOnS, He Declares.

WASHINGTON, March 11.--There is to
be no change in the plan of the soldier
bonus" bill because OF the opposition
TO Treasury officials or because Of the
reports that President Harding disap-
proves Of the bill in its present form
Chairman Fordney Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, declared today.
The bill. according to the schedule
worked out by Republican leaders, will
be brought from the committee un-
changed and will be passed by the House
without alteration.
FOrdney would not discuss the attack
by Controller of Currency Crissinger and
others connected with the Treasury on
the proposed legislation. He thinks, how
ever, that there exists sharp difference OF
opinion. among Treasury officials as to
the effect Of the bill on the money situa-
tion as applied to banks
Governor W. p. G.. Harding OF the Fed
eral reserve board told the Republican
members Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee when he consulted with them over
the ability Of banks to lend money on
the bonus certificates, that the mem
Der hanks had borrowed at that time only
S70O.0OO, 600 from the Federal reserve
banks. Ihls aggregate or loans to mem
Der banks is very low.
It was understood to have been the
judgment Of Governor Harding that the
banks could make all the loans on
bonus" certificates to which they might
be subjected without mountaineering
their commercial borrowers and without
interfering with the profitable function
ing Of the banks. In fact it has been
stated that demands for cash from bust
ness are so light the banks have been
forced to turn to offerings Of short term
paper to take up their idle money.
Postponement of action by the full
Ways and Heans Committee from today
until Monday on the bonus" bill win not
delay action on it by the House, Ford
ney said. Unless present plans change
the bill will not be called up in the
House for passage before March 20. Sup
port for the present bill is growing stead
lily in the House, the leaders have been
told.

REAL GUARANTEE

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Not
the scrapping of battleships, nor the
. naval holiday decreed by the arms
conference, but the four-power treaty
constitutes the real guarantee of the
peace of the world, Senator Under
wood, the Democratic leader Of the
Senate and a member of the Amer
lean arms delegation, declared today
in his defense of the pact.
"The naval treaty is remarkable, in
that for the first time in the history
of the world nations really have
agreed to limit their ornaments, but
nevertheless their relative strength
remains the same" Underwood said.
The Chinese treaties establishes a
magma charta to protect the sovereignty
and territorial integrity Of China in the
future.
The four-power treaty is the one that
stands for peace by mutual understand
ing and all that peace means
SAYS TREATY WAS
IMPORTANT ISSUE.
OuQerNOOQ6 the IedA dC-
complishment Of the conference was not
a material reduction of armament, its pri-
mary objective, but the Pacific agreement
between the United States, Great Brit
aiu, France and Japan, which was in
tended as a substitute for the Anglo
Japanese alliance was made in the course
Of a prepared speech by him in reply to
the storm of opposition the four power
pact is encountering from his Democratic
colleagues.
Underwood declared the treaty "is not
an alliance, but if it were an alliance in
tended to keep the peace through arbi-
tration rather than through force he
would support it.
1.-THE dangers Of past alliances" Under
wood continued, have not been due to
the fact they we're binding agreements
between the pc Sers that signed them,
but because they contemplated the use
OF force for the benefit OF the signatory
powers.
"The first step in any effort to keep
the peace among nations must be based
upon a mutual agreement to respect the
rights Of others. The four-power pact
does that. Its defeat would be a back
ward step in the life of this Nation"
"If the Senate ratifes it, 1 am fully
satisfied there will disappear, not only
any real cause for war, but there no
longer will exist the opportunity for
war that has threatened us in the last
two decades and peace will be estab-
lished between the four great sea powers
that now control the destinies Of the
Pacific Ocean
Underwood said he regarded the four
power pact as an international agree

WORKS BOARD
FAVORS HIGHER

Trinidad Asphalt in Pre-

OIL IS 30 CENTS UNDER

Preference for the use OF Trinidad
asphalt upon the permanent improve
ment OF sections Of Eighteenth street
and Parker avenue at a rate approx
mateiy 80 cents higher than the low bids
of 1901 and S3O4 a square yard re-
ceived upon oil asphalt was shown by
the board of public works at its Friday
afternoon meeting. After the board had
decided to make preliminary orders
specifying Trinidad asphalt for the two
improvements, President Charles Il.
Coffin weakened and suggested that per-
haps the board had better make the
order for Oil asphalt, but the board
member, W. II. Freeman, said: I'm not
In favor Of that" In the end the matter
was deferred until Monday.
Mr.. Freeman is a candidate for the Re
publican county chairmHnship. He is
backed by William II. Armitage, chair
man Of the executive committee OF the
Marion County Republican League. Mr
Armitage also IS the agent for the Bar
Der Asphalt Company. The Barber As

The meeting was further marked by q
closed door backroom conference with
approximately thirty contractors from
which reporters were excluded and by 8

cratic member, that he too favored the
use Of Trinidad asphalt over oil asphalt
Mr. Coffin said the board had called the
contractors in TO tell them IN plain Eng

lower. The delegation included sewer
and sidewalk as well as street con-
tractors. He said the construction men

The decision has the effect Of limiting
the power of the board of accounts
merely to the examination of the books
Of officials and takes away from it most
Of the power 1t gradually has assumed
under various chief examiners.
For years the board has taken upon
Itself the power Of passing on the legal
ity Of expenditures and the legality of
various other acts Of public officials.
SO far has the board gone on this basis,
the examination of books has become
almost incidental. IN numerous cases the
board has held certain expenditures IL
legal and has required officials TO pay
back money on this theory without any
Official adjudication.
BOARD WITHOUT
JUDICIAL POWER.
Neither the chief examiner nor his
deputies can allow or disallow. approve or
disapprOve, any item of expenditure, or
adjudicate any question of fact or law {;
for the simple reason neither the depart
ment nor any OF its members has any
judicial power whatever.
Neither the State board Of accounts
nor the department OF inspection and
supervision of public offices had the au-
thority to inspect the highway or to en-
ploy a surveyor or an engineer for that
purpose; nor did the two agencies jointly
have the authority. The action of the
State department in that regard consti-
tutes a plain case Of usurpatiOn."
In fixing the status of the board the
court says:
"The primary question which we are
called upon to decide is, Did the State
board OF accounts and the department
Of inspection and supervision of public
offices, Jointly or severally, have power
to inspect the highway?
Each Of the above named govern
mental agencies is an administrative
body and h1s no power except that
which is expressly granted, plus what
ever further power. II any. which is
granted by necessary inmplicahon.
"The powers and duties Of the State
board OF accounts are so clearly de-
fined by the express provisions Of the
statute that there is no occasion for a
discussion Of them. Those duties are OF
such a character that they may be dis
charged fully and completely without
the aid Of any implied power; and there
is no intimation or suggestion in the
statute that the Legislature intended to
grant that board any power whatsoever
by implication.
CREATED To

THE department of inspection and su-
pervision of public offices was created
for the purpose Of examining the ac-
counts of such public officers as handle
public funds. From the legislation re-

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE four
power Pacific treaty was framed around
the arms conference table from drafts
submitted by Secretary of States
Hughes, Arthur j. Balfour and Am
bassadOr Shldehara Of Japan.
1t Is a composite picture of the drafts
presented by the leaders. No one man
wrote the pact, as has been charged in
the Senate although the treaty In its final
form more nearly resembles the draft by
Shidehara. Its formation was prompted
by Anglo-Japanese suggestions that a
new treaty be drawn to scrap the Anglo
Japanese alliance.
The above Is the answer to the ques-
ton "Who wrote the fOur-power pact ?"
now the center of the stormy debate In
the Senate, which threatens to menace
ratification of the treaty. it is based on
information obtained when the United
Press exclusively gave America the first
news that the treaty had been framed
and approved by "the big three" and on
other information collected since the
conference from reliable diplomatic
sources.
INCEPTION
OF PLAN.
''The inside story" of the treaty's
framing is this:
Prince Tokugawa, Japanese delegate,
made the first public suggestion that
an understanding between the United
States, Great Britain and Japan, be
framed to replace the Anglo Japanese
alliance.
He then, at a dinner, broached the
subject to Arthur Balfour and Sir Auck-
land Geddes of the British delegation.
The British approved his plan, but
suggested there might be some difficulty
in getting it through the Senate. To-
kugawa replied it might be in the form
Of an understanding" not necessitat-
ing Senate ratification instead of a treaty.
