SICK, HE QUITS AS
HIGHWAY OFFICER

Because OF continued I'll health
following pneumonia and an abscess
on the left lung. Charles ]. McGar-
gle. state highway patrolman, has
sent HIS resignation to c. d. Buck.
chief engineer Of the state Highway
Department, to take effect at once.
Mr.. McGargle has been on the force
for about three years and had an
excellent record.
Mr.. McGargle was taken sick
in April and was in the Hahne-
man Hospital in Philadelphia for
several weeks. during which time he
waged a hard battle to regain his
health with the odds heavily against
him.
Since leaving the hospital McGar-
sgle has been recuperatlng at the
home OF his sister in Wayne, Pa.
His friends strongly condemn the ac-l
tion OF the State Highway Depart
ment in cutting off his salary a few
weeks after he was taken sick. They
point TO the fact that the officer
worked long hours. frequently
seven days and four nights at a
stretch. and according to his physi-
clans contracted the illness in the

the bonus claimants as soon as pos
sible deny they have any intention
OF abandoning the measure which
bears the name Of the North Dakota
Senator. Their attitude during the
debate clearly reflected the deter
mination TO put through the scheme
as reported by the Finance Commit
tee.
Most OF the day was taken up by
a discussion OF the McNary amend
ment. which will probably be adopt
ed on the theory that actuates a
small boy to tie a tin can 10 a dogs
tail. The McNary project is in the
nature OF a substitute for the land
option feature of the bonus bill
passed by the House but eliminated
by the Senate. Secretary Mellon
estimated that II all the veterans

Western States. and the whole coun-
try Is TO pay the bill.
Mr.. McNary painted a, glowing
picture OF the great advantages OF
his scheme to humanity when the
bonus was called up yesterday morn
ing. He declared a large number
or ex-service men had expressed
themselves In favor OF the plan TO
give them preference In settling on
the land after its Improvement. He
pointed out that the provisions OF his
bill would apply to 2O.0o0.000 acres
of arid land In the West and 10000
900 acres OF swamp land in the South
and Southwest. All OF the Senators
from the far Western and South
western States which would profit
at the expense of the other states
naturally rallied TO support OF the
McNary scheme.
They privately admitted Il would
be a good thing" for their respec-
tive States. although Senator Dial
CS. c. dryly observed that the cut
over lands OF the South will be more
suitable for homes FOR soldiers than
swamp lands filled with tadpoles,
insects and crocodiles.

Senators to proceed to a vote on the
most irritating measure that ever
harassed the Congressional mind in
tent on recollection has naturally
pleased their colleagues. who un-
warrantedly attach political import
ance to the friendship OF bonus
claimants. The sole desire of the
majority of Senators who will vote
for the McCumber bill despite the
condemnation Of It by the Presi-
dent, Secretary Mellon and the lax
payers OF the country. is, OF course,
TO record themselves worthy OF the
political support OF the prospective
soldier beneflciaries.
Buck Passing Is the Aim.
Mr.. McCumber and his bonus as
sociates therefore. plan to put
through the bill bearing his name as
per schedule. What happens TO II
after that is something else again.
The deal with tho political leaders
of the American Legion will have
been consummated. The buck will
have been passed 10 the President.
How much effect the debate in the
Senate will exercise on the final vote
Is a matter OF conjecture. Probably
not much. Bonus Senators predict
that there will be more than sixty
votes for It and not more than twen-
ty against II. A canvass Of the SEN
ate indicates that an excess of thirty
votes will be cast against IL in the
first instance and more than forty 10
sustain the Presidential veto.
II President Harding has any in
tention of intervening in the bonus
controversy as he did last year he
has not taken any OF his Senatorial
friends into his confidence. They do
not expect him to do so. on the
contrary, they believe he will avail
himself of the opportunity. which
the panic stricken supporters OF the
bonus bill provide, and return It
with a message OF condemnation
that will add greatly TO his reputa-
tion for political prescience and GER
tainly to his popularity among the
people OF the country.
The supporters of the President
in Congress as well as outside OF Il
are extremely sanguine that in the
end he will emerge from the bonus
conflict with flying colors. Mr.. Nc
Cumber and some Of the leaders Of
the American Legion still cling to
the flimsy chance of changing the
viewpoint. They do not
really believe he can be brought 10
approve of II. but by subtle in
nuendo broadly hint at It.
The politicians in the American
Legion who are subjecting the exec
utive TO the full pressure of their
machine held the same
belief At least they say they do.
The fact is some of them have urged
their Senatorial supporters TO take
the teeth out Of the McCumber bill
by eliminating all provisions for
cash payments. They believe II this
Is done they will have better
chance OF getting what they want |
at the hands OF the next Congress. !
OF course, they will take anything !
they can get in the way Of a bonus
bill.
Of Bonus Principle.
Some Of the more sagacious OF 1
the Legion politicians have recent /
Iy expressed the opinion that a sub
stitute' for the McCumber bill. mere |

the superior material advantages en-
joyed by the patriotic young men
who carried the Stars and Stripes

He praised their unselfshness and
loyalty. He said the "paltry sum
of money which veterans would get
under the McCumber bill was moth
ing less than reflection on their
patriotism. He frequently referred
to the Mccumber measure as a

Senator Wadsworth derided the

cribed this maneuver as Iaughable

there was no other way, and the
trainers of the bill knew II. He
charged the sponsors OF the measure
were lacking in courage In not pro-
posing further burdens OF taxation
on the people which In the end
would be necessary to raise the
money for the bonus. Mr.. Wads-

some OF the friends of the measure.

He pointed out that instead of
being an adjusted compensation bill
the McCumber measure treated the
beneficlaries to the grossest inequal-
tiles, as II gave the same amount to
all men coming within its provisions
regardless Of the character of their
service or needs.

demning the certificate loan pawn

He concluded his speech. which was

pressing the opinion that the pros
