WELCOME QUIZ
BY CONGRESS

to Settle War Con-
tract RoIDs.

Washington, April 12.-In a for
NAL statement replying to charges
made yesterday on the floor of the
house, Secretary Weeks declared
today that the war department was
doing everything possible" to clear
UP war contract controversies in
such a way as fully to protect the
interests of the federal government.
Cash and property amounting to
many millions already had been re-
covered in the reauditing ordered
by the present administration, the
secretary said, and other contracts
were being reviewed as rapidly as
possible
Denies Outside Connections.
Referring to statements that the
firm of Hornblower & Weeks had
been involved in sale of the Bosch
Magnetic company, Mr.. Weeks said
he had not been connected with
that firm since 1913.
Referring specifically to requests
for an investigation made by Rep
resentatives Johnson, Republican,
South Dakota, and Woodruff, Re-
publican, Michigan, the secretary
said that if congress thought an in
quiry advisable the war depart
ment would welcome it".

ing they were propagandists and
not diplomats.
1t also seems odd for NJ. Rakov-
sky and Premier Bratiano, of Rou-

of peace. Rakovsky was an active

But in four years the bolsheviki
have made more treaties than the
other European states have com
pleted in the last century, so the

Mothers and Children in Five
West Virginia Towns.

Charleston, W. Va, April 12.-Aid
of the Society of Friends in caring
for mothers and children in five
mining towns near here, is practic-
ally assured, it was announced last
night by Frank Snyder, in charge
of relief work in the mine fields.
Investigation of conditions con-
vinced a committee from the go
ciety, Mr. Synder said, that the
mothers and children were in need
of milk and cereals, which were not
provided in the relief supplies be-
ing shipped.
A proposal was made that the
society take over the work in the
five towns and the matter has been
presented to the executive board at
Philadelphia with virtual assurance
that the plan will be adopted.

Washington, April 12.-The dec
laration by Chairman Fordney OF
the house ways and means COM
mittee that the house never would
yield on American valuation has re-
vived discussion of the tariff ques-
ton at the capitol with opponents
and proponents estimating their
possible strength when the bill gets
to conference between the senate
and house.
Chairman Fordney is of the opin-
ion that the conferees will accept
American valuation, but Senator
Smoot of Utah, ranking Republican,
on the senate finance committee,
does not subscribe to this view. AS
the situation now stands it would
appear that the conferees would be
at least seven to three against the
prohibition.
Senator Smoot, who made the
fight for foreign valuation before
the senate committee majority, says
he will not vote for American val
uation in the conference or any
where else. Senator LaFoIIette of
Wisconsin, the second ranking Re
publican on the finance committee,
voted against the valuation in the
committee. Representative Green
OF Iowa, ranking Republican on
the ways and means committee,
says he never has been favorable
to the principle and the four DEM
ocratic conferees, two from the
house and two from the senate, are
counted against it..
Senator Study Bill.
Chairman Fordney is outspoken
for American valuation. Chairman
McCumber of the senate committee
and Representative Longworth of
Ohio, the other two conferees, have
made no statement as to their posi-
tion since the senate committee ma
jority adopted foreign valuation.
Senators generally were studying
today the new tariff bill as report
ed yesterday to the senate in prep
aration for the days of controversy
that are ahead on the senate floor.
Several amendments to rates in
the bill already have been offered
from the Republican side, while
Democratic leaders are preparing
to make a general assault on the
measure as well as separate at
tacks on many of the rates.
Democrats on the finance COM
mittee have been given 10 days in
which to file their minority report

NO RECESS
LIKELY IN
CONGRESS
Faces ALI Summer Job in
Tariff, Bonus and
Other Bills.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, d. c., April IL
The resurrection of the Fordney
intense controversy about nearly
every other measure of impor-
tance has made the outlook for an
adjournment of congress this sum-
mer very difficult.
The jam is coming in the senate
If not already here. The demand
that the Republican party keep its
campaign pledge and enact a Ia
riff law will not be ignored by the
party chieftains this time. They
will create a tariff But it takes
time-lots of it, maybe all sum-
mer and a part of the fall. What
becomes of the bonus, of the army
and navy appropriation bills, the
administration merchant marine
program and the regular routine of
appropriation bills which are more
than ever important this year be-
cause of the limited funds available
under the budget system?
Bonus Backers Busy.
Advocates of the bonus are try
ing to get an agreement with the
champions of the tariff permitting
the bonus to be sandwiched in be-
tween the days on which the tariff
debate will rise and fall in public
interest. Anticipating a lull now
and then, the bonus supporters
want to bring the bonus to vote
and pass the problem on to the
president. But when it comes to
lengthy debate, the tariff will be
dwarfed into insignificance along
side of the pros and cons of the
bonus, especially when means of
raising revenue are discussed. And
if the advocates of bonus imag-
inc they will be able to get it
through the senate without much
debate or without executive inter-
vention, they are due for a sur
prise. For example, the president
is being urged to avoid a vote. He
is being advised that if the bonus
gets to a vote and an oyerwhelm-
ing number of senators become
committed to it, the passage of the
bill over his veto will be inevita-
Bile. The opponents of the bonus
therefore are hoping Mr.. Harding
personally will advise the senate
as he did year ago and that the
only vote that will be taken will
be one to lay the compensation
feature on the table thus postpon-
ing action until the money to pay
it actually is in sight
If Mr.. Harding makes a personal
fight for the postponement of the
bonus, he can command much more
support than if he has had to veto
the bill and depend upon his veto
message to act as a deterrent
against passage by a substantial
two-thirds vote over the veto.
"Navy Murder Big Question.
Aside from the struggle which is
inevitable over the bonus and the
tariff, the size of the army and
navy has produced such differences
of opinion among members of both
political parties that lengthy de-
bate is inescapable. The navy is
making fight for its life. The en-
tire influence of the administers
ton is being brought to bear to
prevent what is being characterized
by officials as the murder of the

CITY JOINS
COUNTRY IN
HEAVY VOTE
Rock Island Majority Is
$50; Hard Campaign
Wins.

Rock Island county's long-hoped
for good roads program became a
reality yesterday when voters in
both the cities and the rural dis
tricts united to give the $1,000, 900
bond issue a majority of 2,043.
The city of Rock Island voted
S17S in favor of the bonds and 262S
against, contributing $50 to the
grand majority. In the rural dis
trict the vote was 3125 for and 2647
against while Moline rolled up
1895 vote for the bonds and $3.50
against the issue.
Weather, which for the last week
impressed the people OF the county
with the dire condition of their
highways, instead of keeping the
vote away from the polls seemed to
rouse people to come out definitely
for the proposition
Men who had worked steadily in
the last four weeks in the cause
of the good highways awaited the
first returns with some doubt last
night But as the city precincts
piled up steadily mounting major
800 votes in favor Of the propo-
sition the good roads leaders were
content to accept the rural vote,
whichever way it swung.
Twelve precincts in the country
districts turned majorities against
the issue, but the heavy vote
amassed by the supporters Of the
project in the other precincts
wiped out this opposition and
swung the rural district totals into
the majority" column.
The vote indicated that 1900
ballots were cast in the county on
the proposition. 1t was the great
est and heaviest vote ever polled
in this county when a special prop
osition on the bond issue was sub
mitted.
Ends Long Campaign.
Authorization of the bonds ended
a long and discouraging endeavor
to pull Rock Island county out Of
the mud" Good roads became a
countrywide issue nearly 10 years
ago and in three occasions when it
went before the voters in election
was defeated. This springs can
vass, however. was more determin-
ed, more intensive and directed TO
rouse both the city and rural
dweller to the necessity of road
Improvement than any previous
one. Its results brought joy to the
good roads organization and assur-
ance of the acceptance of the pro
posal started the leaders today on
nIanS for immediate realization OF
the project.
