VOTERS OF

CONGRESS
What'n They Say? How'll
They Vote? Are Un-
answered Queries.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1922, by The Argus

Washington, D. c., Sept. 21.-
Congress is going home wearied
and apprehensive. What will the
people say? How will they vote on
Nov. Z? Many G member Of the
senate and house would give good
deal to know. For the record is
not easily explained to the average
voter and it is more easily picked
to pieces by critics.
Congress was convened in special
session originally to pass the tariff
and revenue bills. This has been
done at last. The bonus bill was
passed but failed to become law
over the presidents veto. TAI
measures are never popular and
the reduction of the burden was sc
slight as to be politically little ol
an asset. AS for the tariff, it will
not be in operation soon enough tt
hurt or help from a political view
point. What does it leave, there
fore, as the outstanding achieve
ment?
Budget is Big Thing.
Though budget legislation is no
specta cular or simple Of explana
tion, it stands out as the beginnin.
of an epoch in government finance
The Democrats helped pass it ant

the fact remains that a budget sys

publican administration and the ke,

forts, more or less successful, t.
ignore the budget. The passage o
the bonus bill was outside the bud

dealt a body blow if Presiden
Harding hadn't killed the measur

senate HAS
CAST BONUS
IN DISCARD
Vote Is Four Short of
Needed Two Thirds to
Override Veto.

Washington, Sept. 21.-(By the
Associated Press.)-For third
time the soldiers bonus legisla-
ton has failed of enactment.
The senate, late yesterday, sus-
tanned President Harding's veto OF
the Fordney- -McCumber bill, the
vote Of A to 2S falling four short
Of the two-thirds majority that
would have been necessary to have
made it law without the execu-
tive's signature. Five hours before
the senate acted, the house over
rode the veto, 258 to 54.
The action of the senate makes
impossible veterans compensation
| legislation at least until the next
session of congress, which will be-
gin early in December.
Meantime, however, 1t is the pur-
pose of some proponents to con-
tinue the fight. and the bonus may
become an issue in some of the
congressional and senatorial cam
paigns this fall.
The first bonus bills were intro
duced in the house and senate ear
ly in the special session Of the 66th
congress, which began May 10
1919. So many different propos.
ais were offered in the house that
all were referred to the ways and
means committee, which begar
hearings on Sept. 20, 1919.
No spokesmen for veterans or.
ganizations appeared, and actor
was delayed.
Fails In 66th Congress.
Hearings were reopened by the
committee on March 2, 1920, and
continued for three weeks. The or
ipnal "fve-fold" plan was drafted
and theNbil reported to the house
on May 21. 1t was passed eight
days later by a vote Of 289 to 3
and was sent to the senate, which
referred it to the finance commit
tee. That committee reported oul
the bill on Feb. 28, 1921, but i
failed with the adjournment of thu
66th congress.
After the present congress wa!
called in extra session by Presiden
Harding. convening on April II
1921, numerous new bills were of
iered and on June 20, the finance
committee reported out the five
fold" plan with the cash bonu'
feature. The senate sent this bacl
to the committee, however, on Jul,
Il, at the request Of Presiden
Harding.
Vetoed Last Tuesday.
Last Jan. 81 the ways and mean
I committee began new hearings ant
after some discussion and confer
ences with members of the finance
committee and President Hardini
the bill yesterday was drafted. l

No allied vessel has offered to
salvage this last wreckage of hu-

population except the American de-
stroyers. Deportations continue
and Turkish soldiers are beginning
to carry off Greek and Armenian
girls. leaving their parents in "a
frantic state.
Burn Human Bodies.
Sporadic shooting and thOfts
continue. Smoke is still emerging
from the ruins. The Turkish au-
thorities explain that is due to the
burning of human bodies. DR.. Will

rector of the Near East Relief, has
urged the Turks to bury their
dead in order to prevent pestilence.
He also has appealed to them to
vaccinate everyone, in order TO
guard against cholera and small

Interviewed by The Associated
Press today, DR.. Post said:
1T is regrettable that the allied
ships did not do more in salvag-

ART WORK FORGERS
FACE PROSECUTION
League of American Artists
Win Give District Attorney
Evidence Against Fakers.

The League Of American Artists Is
about TO take criminal action against
art dealers who have been forging
works of living American artists. Names
os several New York dealers will be
presented to the District Attorney with
evidence the league has obtained by a
prolonged investigation. Julian Bowes.
managing secretary, said yesterday
american dealers have surpassed
these of Europe in brazeness not only
by forging names of old masters, but
by employing ,opyists to initiate PANT
ings of the best artists. Works OF
Emil Carlson and George Bellows have
been the most frequently forged.
The league has formulated code
of ethics and will protect its members
after the manner of the legal. medical
and architectural professions. More
than 1000 artists are enrolled and the
membership extends from coast to coast
The 10000 artists listed in the 1920
census are being canvassed.
Only a comparatively few art dealers
are dishonest Mr.. Bowes said. The
honest dealers are aiding the league
to put the dishonest ones out or business.
Some are going to Jail for forgery II
they can be convicted. and Mr.. Bowes
thinks they can.
One Fifth avenue dealer has pub
lished an art catalogue containing re-
productions OF faxed paintings. two OF
which are poor limitations of George
Bcilowss work.
II wouldn't mind 20 much II they
were good" Mr.. Bellows said. but 1
hate to see my name signed to such
poor things. The only part that looked
genuine was the forged signature.
A legal committee will be appointed
to establish standardized relations be-
tween artists and. clients, which Will
eliminate misunderstanding and serve
as protection to both. Contract forms |
will be printed and sold to members at
cost A directory of dealers in the
United States will be published, con-
tanning information with respect to the
dealers responsibility.
