BANKERS STAND ON
BONUS EXPLAINED

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
Va, May 10.-Thc attitude OF the
bankers of the United States toward
the soldiers bonus was stressed today
in the address of President Thomas b.
McAdams of Richmond, Va, in his
annual report to the American Bankers
Association. He said:
"Thc associations s stand in Opposi-
tior to the soldier bonus has evoked
much favorable comment from the
press and business interests of the
country. 1t met with serious Opposi-
tion from some members of the Legion
and scattered bankers and individuals
throughout the rountry. These prot
ests, as rule, were based upon the
feeling that the men who served had
lost an opportunity to make as much
| money as those who stayed at home
and should be compensated for this
financial loss.
| "If this argument be sound, no one
has as yet suggested any plan by
which this discrepancy could actually
be adjusted or intimated the amount
in dollars and cents which such set
| tlement would necessitate.
"The average soldier is under the
impression the premiums paid for war
risk insurance covered the cost of the
operation of this department and the
only liability in connection Herewith
was assumed and met by the soldiers
| themselves, without any participation
by the American public at large. ~.
"While it is true the soldiers were
called upon and did pay monthly
premium for this purpose, yet, this
premium was a minimum one and did
not take into account the unusual
hazanls of war, which portion of the
liability was definitely assumed by the
American people.
"Latest figures available show that
the government has received 100000
900 in premiums and assume definite
liabilities under term policies for losses
and otherwise aggregating $l,3OO,000,-
600, resulting in Il deficit of $900,000,-
900, which has therefor become a de-
ficit; though cheerfully assumed, debt
of the American people, to be met and
paid by taxation.
"The bill which has passed the.
house, is of direct interest to the bank
ers of the country in that it places
upon the banks tho burden of finapc-
ing such cash advances as may be re-
ccived by the individual soldier.
"Wc cannot lightly consider incrcas-
ing the debt of our people over five
times the amount Of the total indebt-
eduess of the government prior to the
war and congress has no right to put
the tremendous burdenfof from $1,000
100000 to $6,000,000,000 upon our pco
pie, without at the same time making

The attorney general had to be placed
on one side of the president and the
chief justice on the other side.
Roosevelt and Cannon met to try to
solve the problem.

Cannon was speaker, the two were sup.
posed to be bitter enemies, as the re-
suits cf disagfeements over legislative
affairs. Newspapers daily carried long
stories registering the latest news in
the Eoosevelt-C Cannon controversy.
The truth is, the president and Can.
non were on the best of personal terms
and we're spending three or four nights
each week together at the White House.

members, the chief and associated JUS
ticcs and so1Ae 200 more government 5
officials, but left the president out it

Cannon on the phone and said:

"Wcll, replied Cannon, 81 couldn u

WASHINGTON, May 10 The Din
ner to the Speaker, annually one of
he brightest of events at the White
House, was started by President. Roose-
.elt, in his first term, to help Uncle Joe
'annon out of social tangle.
Roosevelt, shortly after his inaugura'
ION, invited Cannon, who was Speaker
Of the House (and at that time the
Speaker was second only to the presi-
lent) to attend cabinet dinner at the
White House.
Cannon accepted, but later found out
hat his daughter, Miss Helen, had SIS
sued invitations for a dinner at the
Cannon home on the same night as the
White House affair.
But if we re invited to the " hite
House, that s command and we III have
20 cancel our own affair."" oaiG Miss
Cannon.

When Cannon told the president OF
tie difficulty, Roosevelt promptly told
him to go ahead with his own party
and said he'd invite HIM to the neat
White House dinner.
But the next dinner Roosevelt gave
was the Diplomatic Dinner and com
plications arose. Roosevelt sent fo1
Cannon and said:
"Look here. 1 can't have you to thi

One of the most sagacious real
estate agents in the United States is
a collie dog, Laddie, belonging to
F. A.. Strout, of New York. Mr..
Strout has sold more farms than any
one else in the country, but he admits
that Laddie was responsible for SELL
ing at least 100 of them.
Enthusiastic dog lovers make wild
claims about the intelligence and re-
sourcefulness of dogs, collie dogs in
particular. Some stories are true and
some are not. But the story OF Laddie
is not only true, but is. one of the
greatest tributes ever paid to a dog.
Here ii is as told by Mr.. Strout:
up in New York State there were
a large number of farms for sale in
a certain section. The choicest farm
of all was advertised, with horses,

This advertisement created little
interest. A second advertisement was
written and the words, everything,
even the collie dog were added.
I'VE were swamped with inquiries
and many took the trip to look the
place over. That farm was not sold,
but nuraber of farms in the section
were. Again the place was advertised
without any mention Of the dog and
again there was little interest, so the
ad was rewritten and the words
everything included, even the collie
dog inserted.

and many came to see. the property
