Dixon. H., Oct. 9.-After being
informed today by F. B. Jones,
county veterinarian, that a blood
test on a steer nine years old to
determine its parentage would be
impractical because any anaemic or
tubercular condition in the steer
or either Of the cows claimed to be
its mother would destroy the ef-
fectiveness of any test, and further
because the condition Of a bovine's
blood changes about every two
years, Justice Gehant today decided
the mooted ownership of the ami
mal without ordering a blood test.

HARDING BONUS
VETO is GIVEN
BANKER PRAISE
Beebe Lauds Presi-
dents Political
Courage

Del Monte. Calf, Oct. 9.-Presi-
dent Harding deserved the ma
ton wide commendation he re-
ceived for the honesty of purpose
and political courage he displayed
in vetoing the bonus bill," Howard
F. Beebe, New York, president Of
the Investment Bankers Associa-
ton Of America, told the associa-
tion at the opening here today for
its 11th annual convention.
Delegates representing many mil
lions Of dollars in municipal and
other investments are present
from all parts Of the country. The
convention will end Thursday with
the election of officers and the con-
sideration of invitations from cities
desiring the 1923 convention.
Hits Union Labor.
Mr.. Beebe charged that union Ia
Dor had refused to accept its share
of the readjustment burden" and
that the federal and state legisla-
lures rush forward with measures
designed to control business, but
seem to be very reluctant to insist
that labor shall be properly organ
lied and held to account for its ac-
tions."
Discussing the bonus, Mr.. Beebe
saids
Without attempting to express
an opinion as to whether a bonus
should be paid. and if so, to whoa,
it is clear that the bill which was
vetoed failed specifically to pro
vide means of paying the obliga-
tions assumed. The bill as passed
would have burdened the banks of
the country to the detriment of
regular business and would have
made it we'll nigh impossible for
the treasury department to arrange
a comprehensive budget"
Tariff Not Approved.
The efforts of congress on the
tariff apparently have met with
little approval from men of sound
business judgment and unpre1u-
diced view" Mr.. Beebe said. "Ac-
tivities in this direction certainly
point strongly to the advisabiiity
OF a permanent tariff commission,
despite the many valid objections
which may be raised against that
method of handling the situation >
