In explanation of the brevity of
this months honor roll published in
this issue, the extremely wet days for
a large part of the past month have
occasioned an abnormal amount of
hardness and absences. Some of
these may have been unavoidable and
it is regrettable that pupils making
the fine grades as Miss Ada Perrin,
for instance, should be deprived from
a place in the Hall Of Fame, when
only Jupiter Pluvius was to blame.

RETURNS FROM
 NEEDLES CALIF,

Miss Sue Thomas who has been in Needles for the past few months, returned to Holbrook Saturday. Every one was glad to see her re- turn as was testified to- by the warmth of her reception at the depot. It does flatter us when they return to Hol- brook. She recommends the climate of Needles to the editor of this sheet as a wonderful place in which to reduce. She herself proved it's efficacy, as she left fiji teen superfuous pounds be- hind her.
 Miss Thomas will re-as- sume her duties in the office of Atty. c. H. Jordan in this city.

WARN AGAINST BONUS AS HANDICAP TO PROSPERITY
LEGION COMMITTEE
BARS A REFERENDUM
New York Body Is Denied
Vote on Bonus.

The New York County Committee of
the American Legion decided last night
not to grant the request of the City
Club Of New York post that feferen-
DUN on the ex-service mems bonus ques-
tion be taken. A motion that the sec
retary of the county. committee write
the City Club post to this effect and
that the latter organizations letter
containing the request had been filed
was carried, As to %.
There was much discussion, princi-
pally by those opposed to acceding to
the referendum suggestion concerning
the method of rejecting the idea. There
was never any chance of the City Club
posts request being granted. The per-
picking question appeared to be that of
denying the request in a manner that
would carry with it no suggestion that
the American Legion in New York
county was lodging the issue because
it feared the outcome.
Richard Il. Bell spoke of the majority
when he declared the City Club posts
request an unfair one.
"The letter from the. City Club post
said Mr. Bell, calls for a vote of paid
up members. There is no question that
a tremendous majority of paid UP men,
bers would vote for the bonus, but such
is the financial situation that but one
fifth of the members are paid up.
Therefore even If every one of these
paid up members of the American Le-
gion voted in favor of the bonus, the
opponents OF the bonus would cry aloud
that but one-fifth of the membership of
the American Legion favors the bonus" Z"
At first the committee was about to
decide to table the letter and take no
action. But Carl ii. Getz, adjutant of
the City Club post. asked that some
action be taken that he might report it
to his organization. In the ensuing ar
gument concerning methods of pro-
cedure, the question of the expense of
referendum was raised.
''We'll pay the expenses" shouted one
delegate from the City Club post.
Harold A. Content opposed granting
the referendum, saying that inasmuch
as the bonus question was a national
and not local one. he considered It
rather waste of effort and more or
less silly to go TO the trouble and ex-
pense of a county plebiscite.
The City Club of New York post op-
poses the bonus and Mr.. Getz declared
before the meeting that no matter what
action the county, State or national or
ganization took, his post would continue
to oppose the plan. He said that sew
eral other posts had taken the same
stand. but that there was no doubt that
they formed a minority in the State.

gency" officers of the American forces

under il some disabled officers would
receive almost ten times the Govern
ment payments to privates.

members of the Ways and Mean
Committee are at work every minute

sent it to a conference of Republican
members of this House within ten
days. That is what we will do. We
are using every honorable effort to
prepare that bill, so that when it is
presented to the House Republican
members of this House will agree with
the committee; if not, we want the
Republican members to direct Repub-
lican members Of the Ways and Means
Committee how to prepare that bill
and how to bring it in here for final
motion"
Macarthur Against Bill.
While the debate over the secret
meeting OF the Ways and Means Com
mittee was in progress Representative
McArthur Republican (Oregon), told
that he would not vote for the bonus
bill. He says he voted for it two years
ago when the conditions of the coun-
try were vastly different from those
that exist to-day. The American peo-
pie simply cannot stand additional tax
burdens at this time. said Mr.. Nc
Arthur, because they are already stag
gering under an enormous burden OF
indebtedness.
Further taxation now would mean
more unemployment, more industrial
depression and more economic disor-
der" he said. "The country is be-
ginning to see prospects of better
business conditions, but these will dis
appear if Congress passes additional
taxes. am not attempting to pass
Judgment on the justice of the bonus
legislation. But / am unalterably op-
posed to its consideration under the
present circumstances"
The protests against the adoption OF
a sales tax were piling up on Senators
and members tonight in increasing
volume. T. c. Atkinson, the Washing
ton representative of the National
Grange. personally led the fight against
the Presidents suggestion in the lob
bies Of both houses. rarYo ,nIoy
"The National GrangeT Mr.. Atkin-
son said. "is unalterably opposed tc
the sales tax or to any form of direct
consumption tax for the soldier bonus
or for any other purpose. If it is
worth the cost of a bonus to get the
sales tax fastened on the pocket
books of the people, as said by Senator
Edge of New Jersey. who should pay
the price? The answer is that it is
worth il to those best able to pay
taxes--the larger and largest income
earning people who spend but part
of their income and accumulate the
rest of it in places where it will not be
subject to n sales tax, or any Other
tax. The National Grange suggests al

Inquiries among Regular Army men
and in naval and Marine Corps circles.
developed the fact to-day that the regu-
lar services of the country are largely
opposed to the bonus raid en- the Treas
ury Many of the men in the regular
services who were questioned are MEM
bers of the American Legion. All saw
service in the late war and would be
entitled to the bonus up to and includ-
ing the grade of captain in the army
and Marine Corps and lieutenants in the
navy.
In their opinion the demand for a
bonus does not represent the viewpoint
of the great body of the membership of
the American Legion. but is the result
of political agitation. They recognize
accept the bonus il granted. but do not
place the stress upon it that timid poll
ticians in and out of Congress believe.
Representative service men in the
regular establishments declare they see
in the present bonus agitation a vicious
debauchery of that fine spirit of patri-
otism which actuated the nation both
before and during the war. They contrast
1t with the spirit which prompted men
to give up their time for service in the
training camps and which resulted in
building up the huge army in the face
of the lack of preparedness which pre-
ceded the war.
Ex-service men, they point out, feel
irritated because while they were serv-
ing in the ranks men in shipyards and
other industries were receiving suppos-
edly higher wages.
In spite of this view the regular
service men believe the eX-service men
will realize that by accepting the bonus
they will be sacrificing the place OF
advantage they occupy in the public
estimation because of disparity in the
remuneration. often more imaginary
than real. For the ex-service men now
to insist upon a bonus they believe
would be to exchange their proud herlt-
age for a mess of pottage.
Their belief that the rank and file or
the ex-service men are not so anxious
for the bonus as the politicians believe
is the result of Investigations by them
among the various skeleton military or
ganiZations which are in touch with the
ex-service men everywhere.
The regular service men point out
that the American army was paid bet
ter than any other army in the field,
that generous alotments were paid TO
dependents and that splendid provision
has been made to care for the disabled
veterans
