IN B bONUS BILL
Republicans on the Com

Five on the Proposal to
Amend House Measure.
(By The Associated press.1

Washington, May 24.-Demo-
cratic members of the senate fl
nance committee may be called
upon to break deadlock among
the republicans OF the committee
over soldiers bonus legislation,
The subject was brought up today
at meeting Of the majority, ana
1t developed that there was 5-to-5
division on the so-called Nc
Cumber plan--to amend the house

who has had several conferences
recently with President Harding on
the bonus question.
The only action taken today by
the majority was the appointment
OF a subcommittee consisting of
Senators Curtis, Mclean and Suth-
erland to hear Representative Mon
dell OF Wyoming, the republican
house leader, relative to submitting
the pending reclamation bill for
the land settlement feature of the
bonus measure which the senate
committee republicans have agreed
to strike out of that bill.
Members of the house from somo
of the western states have con-
ferred with Mr.. Mondell and mem
bers of house steering committee
in an effort to get preference for
the reclamation legislation. M.
Mondell suggested that IL it could
be incorporated in the bonus legis-
lation. it probably could be enacted
at this session. While the recla-
nation measure is general legisla-
ton, it proposes preference rights
for soldiers in reclaiming and set
tling arid lands. 1t would provide
a revolving fund of S3J0,000, 900
for reclamation, the idea being to
keep the fund active until all arid
lands have been reclaimed.

pending reclamation bill-known
as the Smith McNary measure

Republicans and democrats Of
the west alike have perceived the
enormous importance of reclama-
ton legislation, Senator .Ashurst
said. calling attention to a resolu-
tion just adopted by republican
newspaper editors in Washington

be an ineScusable failure of the nd
