HARDING VETO OF BONUS SEEN
President Is Said to Have Definitely
Expressed His Stand

Washington, July 22.-Opponents
Of the. soldier bonus to-day claimed
TO have positive assurance from Pres
ident Harding that he would veto any
bonus legislation presented to him.
Acting on the strength of this as
surance, anti-bonus Senators lined up
their colleagues under a pledge to
support a Harding veto of the bill.
This would give bonus supporters but
a three vote margin, should it be nee
essary for them to override Harding.
The presidential promise to veto
the bill was carried to Senators by
three men who to-day were described
as prominent citizens"
They, according to anti-bonus Sem
ators, asked Harding to tell them
how he stood on the bonus. The
story is that Harding replied:
That he would unhesitatingly veto
any sort of bonus legislation at this
time.
That he would do this because the
treasury was, not in condition nor
the taxpayers in any rood to stand
the drain the bonus would entail.

The Election.

There will be two elections at all
the voting precincts in the county
next Thursday, August 3, 1922. One
is the general election for county Of
ficers: Sheriff, Trustee, County Court
Clerk, Circuit Court Clerk, Register,
Constable. The other is the Demo
cratic primary election for U. S. Sen
ator, Governor, Congressman, State
Senator, Representative, Floater, etc.
There will perhaps be also Repub-
lican primary election. Separate
boxes for each election are provided
with separate officers, judges and
clerks. The qualifications for voting
in all the districts except Nos. Thir-
teen and Sixteen are nothing more
than a poll tax receipt. In Nos. Thir-
teen and Sixteen both poll tax re-
ceipt and a registration certificate
must be produced. Poll tax can be
paid at any time before the primary
election. To qualify for the regular
election for county officers poll tax
was due sixty days before the cleo
ton.

University of Tenn. Summer School.

The first term of the University OF
Tennessee Summer Session is closing
July goth. 1t has been one of the
most successful terms ever held, with
a large student body of the serious,
earnest type of students who come
for real work The graduate students
alone number above forty. Nearly
all students are working toward de-
grees and many of them will there
fore stay the entire session of twelve
weeks.
Seventy-four counties of the State
of Tennessee and twenty-five States
other than Tennessee have represent
atives in the student body.
Each term of six weeks enables the
student to make six college hours of
credit toward degree. The second
term opens July 21st, and at that
time a new enrolment is made so
that persons not attending the first
term may yet enter for the last six
weeks, receiving credits for that
time

McKELLAR SPEAKS
IN UNION CITY
Enthusiastic Supporters and Friends
Have Good Crowd.

The Commercial was not physically
able to be at the speaking by SEN
ator MccKellar last Thursday.
| 1t is the purpose of the paper at
all times to make some report of the
candidates when they come to town,
and therefore in lieu of any other
report we are reproducing the intro
duction of Mr.. McKellar made by
Hon. R. A. Pierce of this city, as
follows:
We'have with us to-day man who
has upheld the traditions of the
grand old Volunteer State in an of
fee which has been filled by such
distinguished sons as Harris, Bate
and Jackson" he declared. II was
in Washington for six weeks or more
during those troublous days OF the
war;" he continued" "and l saw this
man in action in the Senate. | saw
the junior Senator as a man among
men, standing and fighting under
the banner borne by Woodrow Will
son, and no campaign of villification
and abuse can tarnish his bright
name.
"The people of this State know a
man when they see him, and they
know the things for which Kenneth
McKellar has fought. Thy know of
his achievements and they are ac-
quainted with the methods which
are being employed by his enemies.
He deserves an endorsement at the
hands of the Democrats, and he will
get it. 1 take great pleasure in pre-
senting to you the now Senator, and
the next Senator, from Tennessee by
an overwhelming majority"
In acknowledging the applause and
the splendid reception accorded him
here, Senator Mcclellan expressed his
delight at being again in Obion Coun-
ty, which has stood by him so loyal
ly, despite the fact that in his Crigi-
nal fight some six years ago he had
come into the county comparative
stranger. He paid a tribute to the
splendid work of Miss Ruth Isaacs, of
his official staff, who ic Union City
girl, the tribute being acknowledged
with applause by the citizens of her
home town.

months of 1922 we're we'll over the
half-million mark, the exact figures
being 652,261.- also is Q new
high record as it is considerably in
advance Of any previous half-year
period.
July Ford sales are expected to
equal, and probably eclipse June. The
estimated output of Cars, Trucks and
Tractors has been placed at 151,767,
a1tho dealers have requisitioned
more than 100000.
Ford dealers state that every at
tempt has been made to supply their
dealers with sufficient cars to fill
their orders, but that for the past
three months, prompt deliveries have
been impossible with most of the
types. The demand for Ford en-
closed cars has been especially hard
to meet, due to the ever-increaGing
popularity of the Coupe and Sedan
for all-year-arounl use.
A reflection of egeneral business
conditions is seen in the record Of
Ford truck sales, which show an in
crease of eighty-four per cent over
last year. Merchants and farmers
alike have come to recognize tho util-
ity of the motor truck in cutting
transportation costs and speeding up
deliveries, and the fact that they are
buying nearly twice as many now as
a year ago indicate clearly points to
better business conditions.
At the present time, Ford is en-
ploying $4,000 in Detroit.

MAKES
/ STRONG SPEECH
ives Account Of Stewardship to Fine
Crowd at Dyersburg.

II Dyefsburg, Tenn, July 22.-The
Vargest audience that has gathered
there in months heard Finis J. Garrett
sthis afternoon when he spoke in the
interest of his candidacy for renom-
ination to Congress. The speaking
was held in the Circuit Court room,
which was overtaxed, many standing,
and the audience included all classes
business and professional men,
farmers and many ladies.
Mr.. Garrett was Introduced by T.
G. Gordon, Of the Dyersburg bar.
Mr.. Gordon, in an eloquent manner,
paid tribute to Mr.. Garrett and re-
ceived much applause.
Mr.. Garrett defended his posi-
tions during the recent years he rep
resented this district in an able and
convincing manner. He discussed
the bonus question thoroughly, and
the much -mooted tobacco question.
He declared it futile to depend on
the loans from the Allies for the pur-
pose of procuring funds to finance the
bonus, and stated he was against an
appropriation from the treasury that
would increase the present tax bur-
dens of the people.
Mr.. Garrett gave satisfactory ac-
count of his stewardship and thanked
the people for their gracious favors
to him in the past. He declared that
save for a few personal friends, all
the Republicans in the district were
saying he has been in Congress long
enough.

British Coal to U. S. Markets.

London, July 24.-Active Entry of
British coal into the American mar
kets is under way. Within the past
few days, it was learned, more than
dozen charters have been arranged
for rush shipments from Wales to the
United States and in addition some
shipping companies which are regu-
larly engaged in the transatlantic
trade have decided that the situation
has reached a point where it
would be more profitable for them to
carry coal as ballast to the United
States.
Government agents here expect
within the next few weeks that ship
ments will be moving in considerable
volume and steady stream, whereas
hitherto inquiries from America in
regard to English coal have been
merely tentative and of minor char
acter.
Charters which have been ar
ranged in the London market in the
last day or two have ranged from
$150 to 160 per ton, a figure which
will enable the purchasers to lay
down coal at the American port at
profit as long as the scarcity due to
the strike.

BIG SUM TO BE SPENT ON ROADS
Tennessee Will Receive More Than
a Million Dollars.

Washington, July 22.-Approxi
mately 500, 100000 will be spent fol
good road construction Throughout
the country during the fiscal veal
which began July l. This will bt
brought about by the continuation
of Federal aid for roads under recent
authorization of an appropriation OF
almost fifty million dollars for distri
button among the several States. I'm.
der the conditions of the aid each
State must match the sum allotted it
At the same time, the post office
appropriation bill signed by Presi-
dent Harding authorizes an ap-
preparation of $65,O00,000 for the
same purpose, to be expended during
the fiscal year beginning July l,
1923, and 100000 for che succeed
ing fiscal year. The conditions are
the same for all three years and will
bring the total amount expended dur
ing the period, if the States adhere
to the stipulations and expend like
sums, to 100000. The funds
will be admins stered by the secretary
of agriculture through the bureau of
good roads.
1t is estimated that the $4,000,
600 appropriated will result in the
construction of more than $4,000
miles of road, which, a dded to the
$4,000 miles that are expected to re-
suit from previous Federal appro-
priations, makes total of 71,OOO
miles, or nearly 40 per cent of the
estimated 10000 miles of good roads
on the system of Federal aid roads
now being outlined
With the aid of the $350,00O,O0O
previously appropriated by the gov
ernment 1900 miles of road had
been completed on last May 81 and
in addition, nearly 14,500-miles were
under construction, involving more
than $2S7, 100000 of Federal aid. To
match this sum the States have ap-
propriated approximately $38O,000,-
900, making total of 1867, 100000.
The average cost per mile of all
types of road constructed with Fed
eral aid has been $4,000, of which
43 per cent has been the cost to the
government. The new legislation,
however, reduces the maximum par
ticipation on the part of the govern
ment from $4,000. to $16,25O per
mile for the fret fiscal year, and $751;
900 thereafter. The appropriations
are to be used on construction of a
connected system of primary, or in
terstate, and secondary, or inter-
county roads.
1t is further provided that the
States receiving aid must maintain
adequate highway departments, must
maintain the Federal roads when
completed, must construct roads suf-
ficient to the traffic anticipated, must
match the amounts allotted by the
