BANK LOAN PROVISION OF
BONUS IS misunderstood

WASHINGTON, March II. = Pro-
visions OF the compromise soldier bonus
bill relating to bank loans to FORMER
service men have been either misun-
derstood or misrepresented in some
quarters" Representative Green OF
Iowa, ranking Republican member OF
tho ways and means committee who
helped revise the measure, declared to-
Day.
While the Iowa member made no d.
rect comment on the announced inten-
ton OF Comptroller of the Currency
Crissinger to advise banks not to ac-
cept adjusted compensation certificates
as security for loans, it was generally
regarded that the statement was a re-
ply to the opinion of the bills pro-
visions expressed by Mr.. Crissinger.
Mr. Green's views were the first def
finite expression from Republicans OF
the ways and means committee as to
the stand taken by tho currency comp
trolier.
Coinoident with MI. Green's decla-
ration. Republican leaders in the house
declared that despite rumors reaching
the capitol that President Harding was
opposed to the present draft of the
bonus bill. there had been no change in
plans which call for report Of the
Pueblo chieftain., 1922-03-12

measure on Monday by the ways and
means committee and passage Of the
bill by the house a week later.
Representative Mondell, Republican
leader. Chairman F'ordney and other
members of the ways and means COM
mittee. said that to their knowledge,
the president had given no indication
to any member of congress that he
would veto the bill II it were passed
without a sales tax provision.
Two members of the committee. Rep
resentative Longworth OF Ohio and
Bacharach of New Jersey, who have
advocated sales tax to raise the
necessary revenue were not in WASH
ington today and it could not be learn
ed whether they had been able to as
certain tho presidents views.
Chairman Fordney said the bill prob
ably would be amended by the commit
tee before favorable report IL ordered
to do away with the requirement that
a war veteran must decide within six
months which of the options provided
in the bill he would accept.
The chairman said. however. that II
a former service man accepted tnsur-
ance It was to date retroactively from
October l, 1922.
Representative Green in his state
ment said:
When tho ways and means COM
mittee struck out the cash provisions
of the former bill, to which go much
objection had been made. 1t was
thought advisable to make some pro-
visions for soldiers who were or should
become in need and for this purpose
the bank loan provision was inserted.
1T seems to be assured by some
that all of these loans would run to
October !. 1925, but that date was mere
ly inserted as the very latest which
might bc fixed for the maturity of
loans by the banks. in order that trans
actions at the banks might thereafter
be closed. II was not intended that the
banks would make the loan in the first
instance for more than tho time usual
ly given on commercial paper. altho n
savings bank might do so.
The government agrees TO cash these
notes II they arc six months overdue.
THE mere statement Is sufficient TO
show that the ordinary bank holds lit
tie paper so we'll secured or upon which
collected could 20 quickly be enforced

AUTHORITIES BEGIN PROBE
OF SITUATION AT La VETA

The affair Is the elimination Of the
arrest and conviction Of Franklin
Crawford and Henry Crumley on
charge of hunting without state
license and killing a mountain lion
1t is said that Price and Goss work
ed up the evidence in the case and that
they further charge the hunters with
shooting and killing a deer. The hunt
ers claim that the deer was slain by
the mountain lion that they killed.
The charges caused considerable IN
dignation among La Neta residents
and at mass meeting Thursday night
when some OF the most prominent and
influential citizens of La Neta were
present the matter was discussed and
it was decided to ask the deputy game
wardens to leave. They were given A.
minutes to catch the train. Instead
Of following out the orders of the citi-
zens. the two men went to the U. s.
