Made From Original
Bill
TO HOUSE TOMORROW
Republican Chiefs State That a Veto
is Certain-Must File Application
Prior to January !, l92S-CongresS
Has Little More to do.

Washington. Sept. 12.-The tariff
and the bonus bills, promised to the
country in the 1920 campaign, were
ready for presentation to the House
today for final action.
Adjustment of differences in the
bills be in the two branches Of Con
gress has been completed, the tariff
on Saturday, and the bonus late yes
terday.
Formal action by the House will
not be sought until tomorrow, the
tariff being scheduled to be disposed
Of in a few hours, followed by the
bonus.
This program Of Administration
leaders contemplates having. the
bonus bill in the senate on thurs
day, and at the White House be-
fore the close Of the week.
Conferees on the bonus struck out
both the McNary amendment for re-
clamation and irrigation work and
the Simmons provision 20 pay the
bill out of interest on the foreign debt
This was said to be the desire OF
President Harding, in order tnat the
bill will be less obnoxious politically
TO veto.
A veto, Republican chiefs assert, is
certain. Indications are that bonus
supporters will lose by good mar
gin their fight to override the Presl-
Dental objection.
The bonus provides four-ply op-
ton for veterans, based upon 81 a
day for home service and 5l.25 for
foreign service. Options are: cash,
when the adjusted service pay is $50
or less, adjusted service certificates
with loanabe value at banks and
post Offices, farm and home aid, and
vocational training.
Veterans must make application
for the bonus before January !, 1923.
In the original house bill they We're
given six months to file application,
and in the senate measure, an indefi-
mite period.
With the end of the Legislative
calendar in sight, leaders also plan
ned TO get the reports on the coal
regulation bills out Of the way at
once, and send the bills to the Presi-
dent along with the tariff and the
bonus, late this week.
This will wind up Congressional
business for this session, with the
exception of the Liberian loan, the
anti-grain gambling and the anti
lynching bills.

the city and aiding in every way the
work Of trying to feed the hungry

madly acclaimed by the anti-Christ-
ian portion Of the populace.
