The President has recommended

Presidents proposition is a sound
one.

MacNider Points Out That Plan

The American Legion, in asking
that the adjusted compensation
bill be passed, wants it clearly
understood that this legislation
originated with Congress.
At the request of Congress, the
legion worked out from a great
number of suggested plans the
present five-fold compensation
bill. The Legion feels that by
such constructive features as
those which embody farm and
home aid. vocational training,
land reclamation and settlement,
and paid-up insurance. recogni-
ton from the Government of the
veterans services would add to
the returned service mans ability
to become a more constructive
citizen. The legion still feels
that way.
Cash To Help Jobless.

ture. allowing 40 per cent less than
any Of the other options. was
framed to take care of the man who.
because of unemployment or i'll
fortune. would not be able to take
advantage Of the others. The pay
ments Of $50 once every three
months certainly do not form as de.

This is no extraordinary expenditure

MURDERER TELLS HOW HE PLOTTED VICTIM $ DEATH
Describes Brutal Incidents of Crime; Charges Wife of
 Victim Was Accomplice

BURLINGTON, Iowa, Nov. g. - George Leroy Specs, confessed murder CT of J. V. Shurtz, farmer living near Middletown, Iowa, took the witness stand in district court here today at the trial of Mrs. Katherine Shurtz, jointly indicted with him for the mur- der, and told how they had plotted her husbands death.
 He charged that Mrs. Shurtz engi- neered the scheme after several other plans had been discarded as being too hazardous. He talked freely of his part in the murder and described his actions on the night of the crime in detail. A gruelling cross examination failed to shake his story.
 Dr. E.. E. Kirkendall. a West Bur lington physician, testified that Mrs. Shurtz's pulze on the morning follow ing her husbands murder was only slightly above normal, indicating mild excitement although the the woman appeared to be on the varge of pros tration.
 Specs described how, as a mark of the love he held for Mrs. Shurtz, he blew off the top of her husbands head
 According to Specs story. the de fendant used her physical charms to put the youthful slayer completely un- der her control, and promised to live with him as his wife as soon as John is put out of the way" He told the

FOR WAGE INCREASE WADE
 BEFORE BOARD
Declares Railroad Employees Unable to Maintain Proper
 Standard of Living

CHICAGO, Nov 23.-(By the As sociated Press)- Railroad clerks, freight handlers and station em- ployes are unable to maintain a p-o- per standard of living, E. Ii. Fitz- gerald, president Of the Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Sta tion employees, told the United States railroad labor board today in the hearing of the Application of that organization against Il railroads TOT increase in rates of pay.
 He based this assertion on . the budget compiled in 1920 by the United States bureau of labor sta tistics which placed the minimum for a family of Alive at S1,956.6S a year. This, he said establishes a minimum living wage.
 With the purchasing power of wages eight per cent less than it was in 1895, measured by retail food prices, the average yearly wages of the three classes of railway clerks is S1,39776, or 559.12 year less than the budget cost of living" he said.
 The increase of approximately 20 per cent granted in 1920 virtually has been wiped out by the reductions of July, 1921, and July, 1922, he argued. In addition to this, figures were pre- sented to show that wholesale food prices had increased four per cent between October 12 and November II of this year.

WIDELY KNOWN
 WRITER TALKS
 TO LOCAL CLUB
Atwood Impressed With Bis bees Remarkable Stand
 Against Depression

Arizona, as seen by an outsider, was the theme yesterday of Albert w. At wood, Saturday Evening Post writer, in a talk before the Luncheon Club.
 Atwood prefaced his talk with few remarks concerning the Post, it's edi- tor, George Horace LOrimer, and some reasons for the Posts success. The Post, said Atwood, might be said to represent the achievement of one man Lorimer. The editor. said Atwood as- cribed the Posts financial success mainly to the fact that he, Lorimer, on assuming charge of it, adopted the rule of always paying bills and paying them promptly.
 Atwood said he was impressed with the remarkable manner in which Bis bee, and the entire state, had with stood the recent depression
 You have one great advantage out here over the east" he said. You can see and get acquainted with your big men. In the east the really big men seldom mingle with their employees and are comparatively little known. .'
 Arizona, in Atwood's opinion, offer ed mOra incentive than any other state to young men to try and develop into really big men in their communi- ties
 Arizona is young state compared with many in the east,' said Atwood You have the chance out here to build up your state and build it right You can do things in more straight forward manner than We can in the east
 He commented favorably on general conditions in the state and remarked that Arizona was fortunate in being remarkably free from factionaI differ ences and political strife
 Discussing the old question of capi- tol and labor, Atwood declared that eight years as professional industri al and financial observer had conyinc- ed him that corporations are more than ever servants of the people.
 "The corporations of today" he said ''mmay not be perfect, but they cannot be iproved by being destroyed. They make mistakes, doubtless, but it is my opinion that they do far more good than harm'
 We are rapidly moving" he con- cluded, toward a more unselfish at titude on the part of business"

WAR PREMIER'S $
 POLICIES UNDER
 FIRE IN SENATE
Members Indulge in Frank Discussion of Franco
 American Relations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.- Former premier Clemenceau of France and his mission to America, as well as pol icies of the present French govern ment were subjected to a bipartisan fire today in the senate in a nearly two hours frank discussion of Franco American relations.
 Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, Ne braska, former chairman of the for eign relations committee, and leader of the senate forces which sought rati- fication of the Versailles treaty, was joined by Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, prominent treaty opponent, in the criticism. Both rejected the plea of NJ. Clemenceau for cooperation be- tween America and France for peace as long as present French policies are pursued, but Senator Sterling, Repub- lican, South Dakota, who followed with a brief defense of M. Clemenceau supported the French statesman's as sertion that French fear of German miitarism was justified.
 Senator Hitchcock, flayed the French policies toward Germany, which he said were harsh naming particularly the separations demands and use of black troops in Germany. France, he declared, might have had "a more appropriate spokesman" than M. Clemenceau and he called upon the former to Justify" in future speeches in this country the French policies which he attacked.
 Senator Borah. charging France with being militaristic, also called up on M. Clemcnceau for short state ment as to the French position on dis arament and declared that the distin- guished visitor was 'studiously ob- scure" in his proposals for peace re-

jury that several plans for accomplish ing this end were discussed by him and the defendant; one was to knock Shurtz out with a blow on the head with a hammer and throw him in the stall with a bad horse to give the i'm pression that the horse had trampled him to death; another was to strangle him and hang his body in the barn and give his death out as a suicide. But the most elaborate plan of all was for Specs to hide in the summer kitch en. Mrs. Shurtz to send her husband there Specs to shoot him and prop his body against the door where it was to be found by Mrs. ShurtZ.
 Specs told of how the woman left the window open for him, of how he purchased a shotgun. carried it to the lonely farmhouse, found the window unlocked, as agreed, and ascended the stairs to the room in which ShurtZ slept in one bed while his wife and young son occupied the other. He tes- tified that Mrs. Shurtz went into the room and covered her head with the bed clothing as he placed the gun with inf couple of inches of his victim $ head and fired.
