Soldiers Bonus Bill
May Soon Be Law

Washington, Aug. 28.-Senate de-
bate today on the soldiers bonus bill
centered largely on the land reclaim
alton amendment offered by Senator
McNary, republican, Oregon, but Meth
ments offered came to a vote.
The unanimous consent agreement
limiting discussion on amendments to
twenty minutes to each senator, will
become operative tomorrow and lead
ers We're hopeful that a final vote on
the bill itself could be had before
adjournment. In the discussion to-
day, Senators Wadsworth of New York
and Sterling of South Dakota, republic
cans, voiced their opposition to the
bonus, although Senator Sterling sup
ported the reclamation project. Sena-
tors Nicholson, republican. Colorado,
and Hefiin, democrat, Alabama, sup
ported the bill, the former also argu-
ing in favor of the McNary amend
ment.
Business Men Against Bill
Senator Nicholson alleged the bust
ness men, opposing the bonus, men,
tioning particularly the United States
Steel corporation and the Standard
Oil company. He charged that the
latter company profted through "un-
considerable" prices charged during
the war and declared that ii "ill-be-
came" Judge z. II. Gary, chairman of
the board of the steer corporation to
oppose adjusted compensation for the
veterans when his company had made
great profits" during the war.
Senator Wadsworth was particular
ly vigorous in his attack on the meas
ure. He declared that the bonus could
be- enacted only through taxes now or
later and that the American people
had reached a limit in the burden they
could bear. Also he argued that the
veterans themselves, their wives and
their children would have to work but
the harder in the years to come to pay
back the money the former soldiers
received, which, he contended would
be insufficient to afford any lasting
benefits.
Not An Adjusted Bill
The New York senator argued that
the measure could not be properly
termed an adjusted compensation
bill, because 1t proposed to treat all
men alike, no matter what their pay
in war time and whether they needed
assistance. Attacking the bank loan
provision, he asserted that this was an
invitation from the government to
self-respecting men to borrow from
the banks and then repudiate their
notes, leaving to the government the
payment of the sums borrowed.

bank robberies and other problems
incident to the business made II ap-
pear advisable to organize a b~i-county
association and at the close OF the
meeting steps were taken to effect
such an organization and plans made
to hold similar gatherings in the flu
ture.

hour of informal discussion the meet
ing broke up with everyone voting IL

ST. JOHN OR THE INNER LIFE OF
THE CHRISTIAN


No mans life can be fully account
ed for without the history OF his early
surroundings. The life of the Apostle
John, beth in his young manhood
| when he followed Jesus, aud when in
old age, he recorded the revelations
of Jesus Christ" Is a fit rounding out
and climax to what we know OF his
days Of youth. We, In legitimate i'm
a~gination, can go back to his boyhood
days when, on the shores of Galilee,
he waded in the shallow water, picked
| up the sea shells and pebbles, brought
| with the water upon their colors. or.
sitting upon a rock sngled for little
fish in the shore-water. He had the
fisherman's blood in him. His father
was a fisherman by profession ON the
| treacherous lake of Genesseret, and SO
IL IL not wonderful that both himself
and his older brother James should
have set out TO follow the same occu-
patton.
This same early training helped
Christ's words to be prophetic. Fol-
low me and | will make you to become
fishers of men,"
John was essentially a nan of re-
Election. There is no record OF his
iabors, but there Is of his contempla-
ton. The record of his c~ontempla-
tons is his labor. His writings are
and practical. His gospel is the same
gospel as that Of the synoptics, but he
wrote in a different style and with a
different purpose. And all this came
out of his different makeup. He gives
a phrase of the gospel that is shown
rather meagerly by any Of the other
writer's. It is theological and it Is
| philosophical. The record is needed
for rounding out the complete history
Of Christ.
To this end Johns early life direct
ly contributed. He led an outdoor ex-
| ~;s.eHcc. His was g life of thought and
| quiet. Many of his days were no
| doubt spent alone. But that does not
| mean that he was lonely. He was
| such a character as found companion
| ship in nature around him. He had
| time to think when the nets we're set
| and the catch was coming.
Every mood Of nature prompted him
to moralize and turn to spiritual
things. Life for the young in densely
populated districts is not calculated to
prompt one to inquire into the myster-
les of nature, to say nothing of the
mysteries of eternity. The cities pre-
se!it too many distractions. The ap-
peals to the senses are not spiritualiz-
ing. They are human attractions de-
signed for the body and not for the
spirit. Had John been raised In a city
he would have written a gospel oil
activity. AS it was there r almost
no direct appeals to activity.
1t was fortunate for the memory
of Zebedee, his father, that he raised
these sons in the open. II Is also
fortunate for the devout and advanced
Christian. For 1t is John who gives
that one satisfaction. The gospel Of
reflection is no less necessary thar
the gospel Of action. The spiritual,
minded prize the ascending scale
clear through revelation. Withou
John how incomplete the gospel woult
be.
There is another element In TIN
makeup of John that must not be ief
out of view. His mother was relate'
to the Virgin. Salome vas perhap
Mary's own sister, and you remembe

sion OF one thousand dollar bills float
ing across the state of South Dakota
with n passing under the bridge al
Pierre every As minutes" said w. f.
Lyman of Spearfish in addressing a
crowd on a street corner In Miller last
Friday, there would be great excite
ment about II all over the state and
something would be done to stop at
least a few of this wanted wealth, vet
that Is the value of the available pow
er OF the Missouri in South Dakota,
measured in coal at Sc per ton"
Mr.. Lyman is touring the state i'm a
Ford truck with a bus body literally
decorated with signs boosting Initial
ed Law No. 1, which is to be voted
on at next election. He said that the
taxpayers will not have to pay a nick
Ell to put this plant to work, since con-
tracts for the sale of enough current
to guarantee the success of the enter
prise u be secured before a single
dollar OF the borrowed money is used.
The money could be borrowed today
at Az per cent. The users of the cur
rent would get better service at one
half the present cost and would at the
same time be helping to build this
great plant for all the people of the
state, said Lyman. He said our stu
alton In South Dakota is like that of a
poor man who is buying several quarts
or milk per day at 15c per quart.
There is no substitute for the milk
and his children must have II IL they
are to develop properly. The man
would be doing a wise thing to borrow
the money to buy a COW.
Lyman continued: Here In South
Dakota we pay a higher price per ton
for coal than any other state in the
union. There is no relief from this
increasing burden so far as we can see
for our sons or our sons sons. There
is not n valid reason why the people
OF this state should not put the Mis-
souri, river to work. The vote this
fall Is not as to a choice between two
proposed sites but as to whether we
will &c ahead and build as recon-
mended at Mobridge or whether we
shall not. The plan Is feasible and
In no experimental. We would
be following tried and tested plans
that have been very successful I'm
bringing cheap power to the farms and
towns of Ontario and Switzerland and
the scandinavian countries. The rea-
sons given by the engineers for re-
commencing the Mobridge site are as
follows: Bed rock shale from bluff
to bluff at no point more than "a feet
beneath the sand. Only a mile Of rail-
road spur needed. Only half a mile to
gravel. Less total cost and less cost
per unit than at any other site. The
lands to be overflowed could be
bought Mt this site for less than half
the sum necessary at the second
choice of the engineers"
