HARDING AY<
RECONCILED TO A
SOLDIERS BONUS

view. Secretary Mellon has emphati-
cally opposed this scheme and said
hat any payments received from the
allied war debt should go toward
paying OF existing Liberty and Vict-
ory Bonds.
The question will therefore soon
arise as to whether the Secretary of
the Treasury will be upheld or over
ridden by the President. Once before
when the revenue bill was first draft
ed, Mr.. Mellon pointed out that a
deficit would occur unless a certain
scheme of taxation was followed but
Congress went ahead and wrote it's
own bill with the consequent effect
that the predicted deficit is material
izing rapidly.
Mr.. Harding must decide whether
the judgment of the Treasury De-
partment is right or wrong. Mem
bers of Congress claim that the diff
ference of opinipn>is entirely mat
ter of conjecture as to what the
American people will absorb in the
way of securities and they claim that
the Treasury department is too con-
servative in it's estimates and that
unquestionably a new bond issue
could be floated without serious en-
barrassment. They point to the float
ing of new bond issues by private
concerns and the rapid increase in
investments throughout the United
States. One Senator said that fully
seven billion dollars private credits
had been advanced since the armis-
tice by the American people in bond
issues
The bonus is coming. Congress will
not take chances with the political
influence of the soldiers this autumn.
President Harding bows to the in
evitable and stands ready to approve
a bill which provides the money. The
White House is changing 'front.'
Whether this is because the Chief
Executive thinks the economic con-
dition of America has been vastly
improved since he opposed the bonus
last summer or because he is be-
ginning to believe the country will
lend it's money again for a patriotic
purpose, it is too early to tell. The
fact is all hope of seeing presiden-
tial veto is vanishing

banks doors were closed, and de-
positors have about exhausted their
patience.
Unoficially the story is heard that
the commission has called upon r..
G. Allen, former president of the
bank, and now principal stockholder,
to fork up with the $29O,OOO due the
depositors. Mr.. Allen has countered
with the proposition that he might
be able to clear things up at so
cents on the dollar. A series of con-
ferences between the commission and
Mr.. Aliens rather imposing array Of
counsel, three in number including
Josiah w. Bailey, have been held be-
hind closed doors during the week.
Today Commissioner George p.
Pell of the commission declared ''ev-
erything is up in the air." This may
indicate that Mr.. Allen has bucked
the commission and will fight it out
in the courts, or it may mean that
the commission is within the next
few days.
Raleigh, Rocky Mount and Green's
boro have the best fire records for
the month of January, according to
Col. Andrew Joyner of the State De-

these cities having encountered any
serious loss since the first of the near
year.
Greensboro and Rocky Mount have
not had a single fire while Raleigh's s
two small blazes represented loss of
only $185. Other smaller commune
ties have also perfect records but
these three of the larger cities sets
the pace, the records show.

new ANGLE GIVEN TO
AUTO ACCIDENT STORY

The story of the deaf and dumb
man as rels&ed by him in Tuesdays
Pioneer is now told by eye Witness
es and gives an entirely different
angle to the situation. Here is the
story:
The driver had a loaded car and
honked his horn long and loud as ne
approached the man. Just as he was
about to pass, the man looked over
his shoulder and ,bolted across the
road in front of the car. The driv-
er turned his car into the, ditch in
an; effort to keep from striking the
man but could not prevent the ac-
cident. f*'
I He Immediately jumped out of
his car to learn how badly the man
was hurt. He then stopped another
car bound for Bemidji and ordered
the driver to take the man to doc
tor, Which was done. After dispos-
ing Of his load, the driver of the
first car rushed to the doctors office
where it was learned the victim re-
fused medical attention. The driver
then took him over to Nymore, where
the injured man advised he lived.
I The Pioneer is pleased to publish
this version Of the story, in fairness
to the driver and occupants of the
car, as we'll as to those otherwise
concerned.

SPRUCE BUDWORM DOING
DAMAGE IN LAKE STATES
Budworm is Rapidly Spreading
Westward; is Now Active
Even in Minnesota

New York, Dec. 20.-How to stop
the ravages of the spruie 'budworrn
in the forests Of the lake states is the
subject of a special bulletin issued
to foresters. Of the paper industry
in the middle west, by the Wood
lands Section of the American Pa
per and Pulp Association, this sec-
ton being the forestry department
Of the paper mills of the United
States.
That the budworm, which has
killed vast areas Of spruce and bal
sam forests in Quebec, New Bruns-
wick and Maine is rapidly spreading
westward and is now active in the
forests Of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan, is the statement made in
this bulletin. In the east some esti-
mate the insect, has done more dam
age to pulpwood in the last few
wears than all the forest nres which
have occurred. -..< -. g.. :, =.
The bulletin takes. up technical
forestry methods Of combating the
peril after outlining the manner in
which the activities Of the budworm
are followed by other, insects, and
the dead timber thus killed, form a
serious fire peril.
In brief, the recommendations OF
the section, based on the consensus
of opinion of entomologists and for
esters who have studied this question
are as follows: (

concentrate logging operations where
the greatest amount Of dead or. dy-
ing timber is found. "

FRANCE PLANS TO SPEND
VAST AMOUNT FOR POWER
Electrification of Farming Re-
gions Planned to Take
Place of War Loss

Paris, Dec. 20. GU. P.)---A vast
project for the clectrilicatlon OF the
agricultural regions Of France is be-
ing prepared by the Government.
Under the scheme, as outlined by
Minister of Agriculture Cheron, the
State would arrange credits and aid
in placing electric power at the dis
Fposal Of every farmer.
Under the projected law the ma
tion would advance TO individuals and
regional syndicates the sum Of GOO
100000 francs. The syndicates and
individuals would furnish an equal
amount---making total Of l,20O,-
100000 francs.
{ The basic object Of the scheme is
to intensity domestic farming pro-
duction, to mode,nize the machinery
on farms and thus alleviate the short
age of manpoWer resulting from
Frances war losses. If the scheme
is successful, within few years the
countryside would be a network Of
electric power lines reaching tens of
thousands of farms and furnishing
them with power for labor-saving
machinery.
Cheron's idea is that France must
garner from her own soil the means
Of rehabiliating the country and rem
dering France economically indcpen-
and the only method is to modern
ize and intensity production.
According to the tentative plans
the State loans would be for period
of under thiryt years at rate not
to exceed four per cent.
Agricultural authorities predict
that such electrification would inn
|, ,mensely increase Frances production
of food stuffs and enable her to be
come big exporter, because at
present, despite the fertility of the
soil, and toilsome labor by the peas
ants, production is unsatisfactory
owing to the use of old-fashioned
farm machinery. In many places OK
en- are still used in blowing with the
: same style of plows th..t were Isl
hundred years ago.
