new Distributing
RATE Big ADVANTAGE

George F. Hardy, travelling freight
and passenger agent for the Spokane
and Eastern Railway and Power
company, and the Inland Empire
Railroad company, was in Moscow
Wednesday, looking after the inter
ests of his companies.
When seen by a representative of
The Star-Mirror. Mr.. Hardy said that
Moscow is to be congratulated upon
securing a reduction in distributing
rates from this point. The result will
be the building up of something of a
distributing center here and con-
siderable advantage for local insti-
tutions which ship their products
from here. The citys distributing
territory will be greatly enlarged as
result of the reductions, which will
make it possible to compete with all
other distributing centers, whereas,
under the old rate it was impossible
to reach out to any extent, the high
er rate restricting Moscows territory.
Mr.. Hardy said as a result of the
reduction, larger stocks of sugar,
syrups, ETC., will be held here by the
wholesale concerns for distribution to
nearby communities.

REINTRODUCES REVISED
BONUS BILL in HOUSE

Washington-(A. P.)-The compro-
mise soldiers bonus bill as finally re-
vised was reintroduced Thursday in
the house by Chairman Fordney.
Fordney submitted the majority re-
port of the house ways and means
committee, claiming these advant-
ages:
The bill does not provide for new
taxation or the issuance of new Sc
curities.
The bill provides the veteran a
method of obtaining aid
The amounts required by the bill
each year are small as compared with
those that have heretofore been met,
and can be provided without any diff
ficulties or arrangement of our fl
nancial situation
The plan tends to promote saving
habits among the veterans and pro-
tects the veteran and his family from
misfortune in the future.
The bill will promote a class of
home builders who will greatly in
crease the mass property of the coun-
try.
