mediate sacrifice to get bonus law
on the statute books. Senator'S favor
ing the bonus have already started to
prospect the ground in this respect.
They argue that bill legalizing the
bonus can be perfected later on and
give to the boys what they want.
Tho Democratic Senators to-day
provided curtain raiser to the bonus
drama which is to be enacted in the
Senate when the Finance Committee
reports bill relating to the subject.
The secret meetings of the Finance
Committee Republicans provoked Sem
ator Walsh (Mass.) to voice vigor-
Gus protest against such proceedings
on the part of the majority:
II protest against such meetings"
said Senator Walsh, because the sell
fish interests OF these men should be
made known to the full committee and
the people. Suspicion naturally at
taches to any bill prepared under such
circumstances. Such legislation goes
far toward making people lose conf
dence in their representatives. There
can be no justification for secret
meeting to consider bill of this kind
Furthermore this should not be par
tisan measure, and for that reason the
minority members of the Finance Com.
mittee are entitled to all the evidence
submitted for and against it,
In answer to a request by Senator
Walsh for light on the subject. Sena-
tor McCumber declared no regular
meeting OF the committee had been
held. but merely an informal gather
ing.
Senator Watson came to the relief
of Mr.. McCumber by saying that sin
formal conferences had been held with
several officers of veterans organiza-
tons. "Does.the Senator from Massa-
chusetts think j ought to have sent
for him." he asked.
Senator Walsh replied that, he did
feel so. 1T is a very bad and danger
Gus precedent" commented the Massa-
chusetts Senator, "for members of the
committee to meet and hear witnesses
in favor of certain legislation behind
closed doors. If we are to safeguard
the rights of the people and win their
confidence such things should be done
in the open."
After more of this sort of colloquy
the opening furry over the bonus was
wound up by Senator King (Dem..
Utah) who declared "such legislation
is tainted If not vitiated. Such legis-
lative methods are dangerous and dis
credit our parliamentary system"
