However, Entirely Lacking

| cincts out of 1854 In the state give
| Carl w. Riddick of Lewistown, present
member of the lower house Of con-
gress, a lead of 1922 over Attorney

17,459; Rankin, 1921.
The returns from 1852 precincts in
the two congressional districts show
that Scott Leavitt of Great Falls has
a lead over J. M. Burlingame of the
same city for the Republican nomlna-
ton in the Second district, while John

probable Democratic nominee, in the
First district. His lead over Byron
.Cooney, of Butte, remains about the
same.

VETO EXCUSE FOUND
IN LAND BONUS BILL

Washington.-All pending amend

length of speeches.
With favorable action assured, the
paramount question in the minds of
friends and foes alike was the recep-

said they gained the impression that

in its original form.
Leading proponents of the bill urged
throughout the debate that the senate
refrain from 'loading down" the meas
ure with additional amendments which
might furnish further ground for n
veto. All proposed changes were re-
jected by decisive majorities. First
the Bursum amendment to pay the
veterans half cash Immediately and the
remainder in five years. was voted
down, A to 27. Then, without a roll
call, the Smoot proposal to pay the
bonus with a manufacturers sales tax
was disagreed to.
Senator Smoot presented and argued
at length in favor Of his plan to give

ence.
The vote was AZ to %, with party
lines wiped out.
The treasury apparently is confident
that the president will veto the bill
If it passes as it now stands. High Of
ficials indicated that the president had
not changed from his announced in
tention to disapprove any bonus legis-
raising the revenue required and the
senate measure, treasury officials said,
does not meet that requirement.
AS amended by the senate the bill
would become effective Jan. /, 1923,
and would provide three optional plans
for veterans of the World war other
than those whose adjusted service pay
would not exceed $50. These would be
paid in cash. The options are:
Adjusted service certificates, pay
able in 20 years or sooner at death, and
containing loan provisions.
Vocational training aid at the rate
of $1.75 a day up to a total of 40 per
cen of the adjusted service credit.
Aid in purchasing a farm or home,
the total amount to range from 100 per
cent of the adjusted service credit if
the money were advanced in 1923, to
40 per cent of the adjusted service
credit if the payment were made in
1928 or thereafter.
Adjusted service pay or adjusted SER
vice credit would be figured on the
basis of 81 a day for domestic service
and S1.25 a day for foreign service,
less the $50 paid at discharge. But in
no event could the amount of credit of
the veteran who performed no overseas
service exceed $500, and the amount of
the credit of the veteran who per-
formed any overseas duty exceed $625.
Adjusted service certificates would
have a face value equal to the sum of
the adjusted service credit of the vet
eran, increased by % per cent plus in
terest thereon for 20 years at the rate
of AZ per cent a year, compounded an
nually.

TALK WITH YOUR LEGISLATORS

Senator l.. R. Thomas and Repre-
sentative George A. Line will keep
open house a tthe court room on
Tuesday afternoon, Jan. from 3 to
5 for the purpose of comforting with
people who wish to express their
views as to what the legislature
should do, and you are invited to be
there.
This meeting is not held for the
purpose of adopting resolutions and
tying the hands of our members
when questions come up in the
house and senate, but to advise
them of the views and wishes of
their folks at home so they may be
better equipped to try for what is
wanted. There are about hundred
members in the house, SO Mr.. Line
understands that he is only about a
hundredth part Of it, and does not
hope. to make himself felt SO very
much. The senate is composed of
less than fifty members, but Mr..
Thomas may be given important
committee work or may be the floor
leader, by reason of long member
ship and familiarity with men and
measures, and he will be more than
one-fiftieth of the senate.
Well, attend the gathering on
Tuesday, and do not be surprised II
your suggestions get enacted into
law or if they are never heard of
again. A legislature is a big mill
and a queer thing.

ing a curve at high speed, and his

HONOR FOR NEWSPAPER MEN

When Governor Davis made selec-
tion of private secretary to handle
the business coming up to him In
the executive office, he chose F. W.
Brown, of Idaho Falls, a man who
had been holding position with the
Idaho Falls Post, and he has served
four years in that position.
Governor-elect Moore has chosen
Ben H. Read, one of the owners of
The Post, and former employer of
Mr.. Brown, and he is now on the job
getting acquainted with its duties.
The governors secretary actually
handles the mass of business for the
governor, and in many ways fills the
larger position himself. A young
woman working in the reception
room or front office, meets all
corners and does some preliminary
sorting to hold those up who are not
in hurry or not on important busi-
ness, and to open the way for those
whose business is important. She
confers with the governors secre-
tary on some of these matters and
he watches the course of other con-
ferences that are in progress and
seizes opportunities to speed up the
slow one, and usher in the next one.
In handling the mail and tele-
grams and telephone calls and many
appointments, the secretary acts the
part of the governor, working in
harmony with his wishes or under
his orders or as he believes the gov
ernor would order it If he were
present or if he could be consulted.
Mr.. Brown has been a very able
secretary, and in his four years of
service, has undergone a training
that should be of great value to him.
He has built up an acquaintance in
Idaho and with many men in other
states, and has acquired knowl-
edge of the larger operations of pub
lie and private business that marks
him as man of considerable school
ing obtained in brief four years
that turn him out into the activities
Of present with an unusual ability.
He is good public speaker, has a
rich strong voice that is worth a ]
fortune in some vocations, has a |
good memory for names and faces,
and is dynamo for work. He has
represented the governor at many
important conventions where mat
ters Of reclamation, drainage and
statecraft were being considered,
and has made an enviable record.
