Bonus Bill To FolloW
Tariff Is Agreement
CONTINUED from Page y

would not consent to any such agree
ment.
Launching into an attack on the
bonus bill, Senator Williams, DEM
ocrat of Mississippi, declared this
was measure to commercialize
patriotism. He asserted that what
the American soldiers did in war
could be rewarded only in honor
"The man not worthy of being re-
warded in honor" he said. " is un-
worthy of being rewarded at all"
Senator Williams charged that IL
the bonus could be "out over six
months it would have less votes in
the senate because then the elections
would be over"
This bill he asserted, "wir re-
ceive 20 per cent more votes before
the elections than 1t will after cleo
tions and you all know it."
Ashurst Challenges Williams
This drew a fiery reply from Sen
ator Ashurst, who declared there had
to be a stop TO the impugning of the
motives of senators supporting the
compensation measure. He wanted
to know where opponents found the
ground for their contention that they
were honest in their opposition but
that those favoring the bill were try
ing to get votes by their support OF
the bill
Opposing further delay in senate
action Senator LaFollette, Republ-
can of Wisconsin, attacked the lead
ers of his party in the senate for
making the bonus subject to party
conference action. He declared his
opposition to taking Legislative sub
jects from the floor OF the senate
into party conferences, where, he de-
clared the conscience of senators was
counted upon to bind them into the
support of the conference action.
Senator LaF'ollette said the people
of the country could well afford to
have the tariff bill delayed by action
now on the bonus for they will pay
in tribute to the interests more than
the soldiers adjusted compensation
will tax the country" In this con-
nection the senator gave motive that
he would press for action on the
bonus at every favorable opportunity.
Holding that the passage of the
bonus would require only a short
time, Senator Pittman, Democrat of
Nevada, asked unanimous consent
that there be a final vote on the
measure before o'clock this eve
ming but Senator WadsWorth, Re-
publican of New York, objected.
After some further discussion the
Watson motion was adopted.

CHICAGO, June 20-The great
American beefsteak and the succulent
roast beef are on their way back to
the menu of the ordinary citizen,
according to report made public to-
day by the National Institute of Pro-

The reason is simple, according to
Guy Fl. Hall, director of the institute.

Finish the Hospital.
'In order to be available and ready
to serve in the hour of serious ace1-

hospital must have been previously
planned. erected and equipped. Pres
ident Harding has recently COM
mended the nation on its very nota-
BILE advance in disqualification. His
exact words were: America has lead
the world by long way in the de-
velopment and maintenance of mod
ern hospitals, and in this regard our
facilities are far superior to those of
any other nation
Notwithstanding this great adj
vance, President Harding also cites
the fact that we are a long way
from adequate equipment This un
uuestionably is true of Phoenix, and
therefore the importance of imme-
diate completion of the Deaconess
hospital should be apparent to
everyone.
"This statement recently appeared
in the Literary Digest: 1T is obvious
that all the deaths occurring annu-
ally, one-third can be prevented or
postponed 1t should be readily per-
ceived that the modern scientifically
equipped hospital will make a larger
contribution to this desired highly
important objective than any other
single institution. Thousands of
lives are now being saved in our
hospitals.
'"The service of the new Deacon
ess hospital with the facilities TO
care for 5000 patients each ~ months
should actually mean the saving of
1000 lives, and we of this generation
place higher value on health and
human life than on anything else in
the world. The finishing of this
hospital is comparatively an easy
matter. United effort is the master
key to the problem. The worth of
such an institution is so great that
