The Semi-weekly leader., 1922-12-20

The Gulf Refining Co., has num-
bered the Leader among favored
friends with one of its big, practi-
cal calendars. "He who runs may
read" and everybody is running and
rushing these days so the calendar
is very apropos the times and great
convenience.
1t looks like old Santa Claus can
take in the situation better from his
aeroplane than from the old-fashion-
ed sled. Anyway more little child

untoward circumstances are going to
be remembered this year than ever
before around Brookhaven.

KINGS PRAIRIE IDEAS

The farmers in this vicinity are
preparing the soil for the sowing of
the wheat. Most of the farmers are
working the soil from clodded con-
dition to firm undersurface and a
loose top. The idea is to insure
capillary action and a sure stand of
wheat. The corrugated roller are lin
ing the fields with pretty surface.
No doubt that this the time to get
the soil in the proper condition be-
cause Of the fail rains.
The apple crop is fair this year. but
it has been reduced because of the
long drouth. Everybody should ar
range to store some for winter use,
no doubt the price will be higher later
Quite a number of the parents and
other visitors, also were spectators
at the basket bali game Saturday
night. The Kings Prairie Regulars
played the second team which was
aided by some Of the Regulars. There
were nine in the A. Glass that made

favor of the Regulars. The team:
were well matched with the exception
of Drake NJ. who made the scores. His

HOUSE V0TESBONUS.
BUT FEARS SENATE.
Bill Passed, 333 to 10.
Members to Work to Pre-
vent Its Being SheIved.

Passed by the House late yesterday
bonus bill was made ready today for
the Senate. What would happen to
it there was regarded as problemat tical,
but House proponents proposed to use
every effort to prevent it from being
shelved. as was the original bonus
measure.
In the long debate which preceded
the final vote in the House some
speakers predicted that the Senate
would kill the bill, while others ap-
parently were not overoptomistic as
to the chances of its passage in its
present form. Whatever its ultimate
fate. it appeared fairly certain that
the bill would slumber for quite a
while at the other end of the Capitol.
where ,already the calendar is con-
sested with treaties and annual supply
bills. with the permanent tariff bill
yet to be reported.
Senate Changes Expected.
There were those who believed that
the Senate finance committee, to which
the bill would be referred in the natu-
raj course. would make sharp changes
in 1t. Some administration officers
were known to look to the Senate to
pass a measure providing means for
financing the bonus, but they were
not prepared to predicted whether the
means would be taxes or the use of
foreign bonds.
President Harding has been repre-
sented as looking with favor on the
financing Of the legislation with re-
funded foreign bonds, provided they
we're in hand before the bill was
passed. While the measure was in
the making by the House ways and
means committee. the executive, ac-
cording to some members of that
committee. suggested delay of
ninety days. in the belief that the
Treasury would by then be in pos
session of some of the British bonds.
There was some discussion in the
House yesterday as to whether the
President would approve the bill in
its present form, with a conflict in
the opinions expressed. Representa-
tive Longworth, republican, Ohio,
said that while he would not pre-
sumo to speak for the executive, he
had reason to believe that Mr.
Harding would sign the House
measure II it reached him without
change. On the other hand. Repre-
sentative Snyder. republican. New
York, who said he had talked with
Mr.. Harding last week, declared he
would be Exceedingly surprised" if
the executive signed it.
Approval of Legion.
Confidence that the House bill
would meet with general approval of
former service men was expressed
today by Hanford MacNider, national
commander of the American Legion.
''The overwhelming majority given
the adjusted compensation bill in the
House yesterday" said MIR. MacNider
in a formal statement. shows that
the representatives, close to the
hearts Of the people, realize the JUS
tice of the measure. and in spite of
highly organized propaganda in op-
position, know the great mass of

CONFER TOMORROW
ON DISTRICT BILL
Members of Congress to Seek
Agreement on Added Items
Involving 1886, 1854.
Chairman Davis of the House sub

Chairman Davis of the House sub
committee in charge Of the District of
Columbia appropriation bill has ar
Senate conferees tomorrow morning
at 1880 o'clock.
While it is probable that the major
portion of the s3.536.164 added to the
bill by the Senate. bringing the total
up to $23,933.943. will be agreed to by
the House conferees. the conference
promises to be long -drawn-out and
closely contested one.
Most Important Issue.
The most important matter on which
the House conferees will clash with
the Senate conferees is on the pro-
posal to abolish the time-honored
definite proportion of participation by
expenses of the National Capital. The
Senate proposes to entirely disrupt
the fiscal relations, establish 4 fixed
tax rate for the District and to make
all the revenues of the District appli-
cable to the expense Of the National
paying only whatever deficit there
may be
The House conferees go into the
conference determinedly set against
this proposal. As it is new legisla-
ton, any action that the conferees
may take will not be binding but sub
ject to a separate vote in the House
on this proposition. where 1t is as
sured that this proposal will be re-
jected,
Increased appropriations for the
public schools of the District totaling
$616,1S0 put into the bill by the Sen
ate, will for the most part be ap-
proved by the House conferees.
Chairman Davis, accompanied by his
colleagues on the subcommittee,
which framed the District appropria-
tion bill. made an inspection trip
through the parkway system today in
preparation for opposing some OF the
Senate's proposals, especially one for
100000 for Rock Creek and Potomac

JAPAN FLANS TO DO
MORE THAN REQUIRED
IN SCRAPPING NAVY
BY CHARLES Il. HOGCE
BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
(CopyriRht, 1922


BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily New
Copyright, 1921
TOXIC, March 24.-Japan is TAX
ing the policies of the Washington
conference to heart. She will not
only reduce her navy as stipulated
by the treaty. but, as the navy de-
partment now intimates semi
officially. will make a still further
slash when the naval holiday ends.
While this announcement is not Of
fcially made this time it Is based
on unquestioned authority.
The scrapping Of the old war.
ships has already begun without
waiting for the ratification of the
conference treaties and reSoiu-
tons. The policy adopted is to
show the world that Japan does
not doubt the sincerity of the con-
ference. and is confident that the
pledges made by it will be re-
spected.
Congressional jingoism against
the ratification of the four-power
and other teraties is not alarming
Japan, the people here believing
that politics alone are debating
the attacks upon the agreements.
Instructions are being prepared
to. scrap the battleships Fuji.
1wami and Fuso soon. They will
probably be used as targets. They
are semi-obsolete. but in excellent
condition. The shipyards are al
ready remodeling the battle crius-
ers Akagi and Amagi for airplane
carriers. and are preparing to de-
stroy the kaga and Tosa. recently
launched.
