M'CUMBER DROPS STUNTS
FOR BONUS BILLS ENTRY

the responsibility for acts that are
purely Congressional in character.
The effect of the information brought
from the White House by Senator
who was supposed TO speak with au-
thority greatly disturbed Mr.. McCum-
Der and the other bonus Senators. 1t
further served also to strengthen the
opposition to the scheme to raid the
Treasury.
Just what Mr.. McCumber and the
other bonus Senators will do after his
bill has been reported for action is en-
tirely a matter of speculation. The
legislative situation OF the measure
will be similar TO that of hundreds Of
other proposed acts which are tucked
away on the calendar. To take 1t up
out of it's proper place and progress
it will compel a radical disarrange-
ment of the Senate schedule.
Mr.. McCumber has been informed
by Senators opposed to the bonus bill
that they will negative any request
for unanimous consent 10 lay aside
TIE tariff bill. One objection vetoes
unanimous consent. A motion TO re-
place the tariff can be debated for time
without end. A proposal TO invoke
cloture to limit debate on the bonus
after it is taken up will precipitate
flibuster that will delay action on 1t
for a long time.
All mt Sea Over Procedure.
Wherefore Mr.. McCumber and the
other bonus Senators who want the
raid bill passed with as little delay as
possible to meet their political needs
are manifestly at loss to know how
they are going to do 1t. Still Mr.. Nc
Cumber continues to be most optimis-
tic. He repeated his time honored
declaration to-day that "the bonus bill
will be taken up pretty soon and dis
posed of in two or three days"
A few of his sympathetic associates
are inclined to accept this prediction
at it's face value. Tie majority OF
Senators on both sides of the chamber.
however. find a good deal OF humor
in it. One of the most significant de-
velopments which followed the first
hand information brought from the
White House WIS the pronounced dis
approval of the suggestions that the
Senate pass the bonus bill with the
full realization that the President
would veto it. and that the Senate
then indorse his action by refusing to
override his decision.
The propose! to pass the buck" to
the White House did, not find favor
with most OF the Republican Senators
who would like to vote for the bonus
bill for political reasons. The answer
made by one Republican Senator who
is for the bonus was this:
President Harding is the leader OF
our party. Anything which would re-
fleet upon him would be resented by
the people Of the country. For that
reason + am in favor Of supporting
him to the fullest extent even though
do not agree with his conclusions. If
we express contempt for the President
tie people will express contempt for
u.s." 1865

OTHER MERGERS COME UP

WASHINGTON, June 5.--The Federal
Trade Commission has issued for
NAL complaint against the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation and the I.acka-
wanna Steel Company charging they
have been and are using unfair meth
DDS OF competition. The complaint
grows out of the merger recently eff
fected by the two companies.
The commission made this an
nouncement to-day in report to the
Senate In response to the recently
adopted resolution Of Senator La Fol-
lette (Wis.). directing inquiry into the
merger by the commission and the
Department of Justice
Stating that it had the proposed
merger of steel companies under OBJ
servation prior to Senate action on the
La Toilette resolution and mad fol-
lowed closely developments along that
line, the commission in it's report said
IL now had reason to believe, in the
language of its constituent act. that the
proposed Bethlehem-L ackawanna merger
WHcH Will constitute an
unfair method of competition in that 1t
contains DANCE rous tendency unduly
TO hinder competition and to restrain
commerce and that proceeding by the
commission in this respect is in the pub
lie interest"
The commission emphasized, however,
that the issue of the complaint ex-
pressed no final judgment on the legality
OF the Bethlehem-Lackawan merger.
That is question. the commission said.
to be determined after hearing of the
two companies on July "a.
The commission also referred to the
pending merger of the Midvaie Steel ard
Ordnance Company. the Republic Iron
and Steel Company and the Inland Steel
Company, but said it has not vet been
able to reach a reason to believe either
that the proposed three company merger
will or will not carry the same tendency
and capacity as In the case of the Beth
ehem- Lackawanna merger"
THE details of this plan. however"
the commission added. ARE being care
fully followed and so soon as the COM
mittee is In possession OF sufficient in
formation it will make further report to
the Senate as to the second Of these
proposed mergers"

HIGHEST COURT REFUSES

WASHINGTON. June 5.-The Supreme
Court to-day announced that It would
not determine what is ouija board.
The question was presented in case
brought by the Baltimore Talking Board

taxation OF such boards as sporting
goods and insisted that should the court
refuse TO hold that the board is grade

cradle subconsclous action OF intelli-

ercise his veto power if the Senate
sends to him the measure which he
has repeatedly condemned.
The correctness of this statement
was not challenged by even the most
ardent bonus Senators. whose sole con-
Germ is TO get themselves on record in
favor of granting Government cash
for able bodied ex-service men in
order TO win their political favor.
Another statement made by the Sen
ator was that the President would
publicly announce his determination
to veto the McCumber bill unless the
reports rejecting on his motives We're
discontinued. The President has pre-
served characteristic patience in dis
cussing the plans of Senators and
representatives who attach unwar-
ranted importance to the political
powers or the American Legion. He
has done so because of his sympathy
for any movement designed to relieve
the needs of men who served the coun-
project to prove the gratitude of the
Governmental and people.
Provision for Disabled.
Having these things in mind, the
President has, and will continue to in
sist, that the Government make the
most generous provision for the
MANNED sick and disabled soldiers.
Every measure of this description has
received his fullest approval. The
Government has already expended
more than $500. 100000 in providing
for disabled veterans. and the annual
appropriations for the purpose ex-
coed any other item in the national
budget.
Every Senator and Representative
who has discussed the bonus with the
President knows of his sympathy for
the disabled veterans. They also know
that if the financial conditions of the
country permitted it he would APP
prove a measure to give a bonus to
such service men as are now demand
ing it.
The President has made it unmis-
takably clear that the country is not
In condition to justify such extrava-
gance without imposing a stupendous
burden of taxation. He MAS fully set
forth reasons to justify his opinion in
this respect in written communica-
tons to Congress and oral statements
to Senators and Representatives.
Presidents Patience Taxed.
There is pronounced feeling
among members of Congress that the
Presidents patience has been severely
taxed by the repetition and wholly I'M
justified predictions that he would I'LL
timately be brought to accept a bonus
bill that, fails to meet the conditions
set up by him. His reply to sugges-
tons that he publicly declare his pur-
pose to veto the McCumber or any
other measure that does not meet
these conditions was that he did not
want to be put in the attitude of in
terfering with legislation or to assume

BIG STORM A
GREAT BENEFIT

After a week of continuous storms
this section OF Nevada and California
is buried beneath one OF the heaviest
falls of snow that has occurred in re-
cent years.
Ninety inches OF solid Snow is re.
ported to have fallen at Blue Lakes
while at Marklcville II inches re-
mains on the ground. In Lake valley
the snow has settled down to about
three and onc-half feet, and due to the
fact that considerable rain fell in the
higher attitudes, the SNOW there is
almost solid ice. At Bridgeport about
three feet on the level is reported.
The storm was general throughout
Nevada and a prominent stockman
has characterized it as million dol

while stock feeding and necessary
farm work has been made difficult
the farmers are overlooking the hard
ships of winter because OF the good

reports that the Bridgeport stage is
again running on schedule. the road
between Sweetwater and Bridgeport
having been opened for slcighs. Auto
mobiles are being used between Gard
nerville and Sweetwatcr.
An attempt was to be made to open
the road to Bridgeport for auto travel
with a heavy quad truck equipped
with snowplow. The people in that
section expected to turn out ell masse
to help with the work.
Ed. Frevert, driving one of the mo-
tor trucks for the Minden milling COM
pany, and who was caught in the
storm at Bridgeport, arrived on the
stage Wednesday. William David
son, another driver. who was caught
in the storm at Fale's springs, ar
rived on the stage. and it is probable
that his truck will remain at the
Springs until the spring thaw.
Shecpmen have not reported any
losses of stock although two bands
were grazing in the Pine Nut hills at
the time the heavy snow fell Horses
were used to break the trails to get

called together for further discus
sion OF the proposed consolidation Of
the bitches on the East-Fork.. The
meeting is to be held at the Farm Blu
reau Office in Yerington, at l:30 Sat-
urday afternoon, January 7.
The proposal has been favorably re-

weir, which is TO replace the numerous
flimsy brush dams. which, it is pre-
dicted will be unable to withstand the
heavy flood waters anticipated in the

BURGLAR ENTERS
LOCAL STORE

The stores of the West Hardware
Company and The Toggery were en-
tered Tuesday morning by some per-
son. who, as yet has not been appre-
hended by the authorities.
Apparently nothing was disturbed in
the hardware store, where entrance
had been made by breaking out a
glass from rear window In The
Toggery the theft broke a small hole
in glass door and unfastened the
lock- letting himself i'll. and it is be-
lievcd that some articles of wearing
apparel were taken. The probable
identity of the marauder was estab-
lished by the finding, in the rear of
The Toggery, Of some discarded gar
ments. which the officers say had been
worn by man who recently arrived
from Mono Lake, and who had made
some small purchases at the Toggery
the day before the robbery. He was
trailed to Mason and Wabuska where
it is supposed he made getaway
on the train. There was over $lOO in
the cash register at the Toggery,
which remained unmolcstcd by the
burglar.

RICH ORE IN LUCKYBOY

The most cheerful news that has
come to Hawthorne for number OF
wears is that of a recent strike in the
l.uckyboy mine.
A ledge from two to three feet
thick OF ore running from $500 to
$500 per ton was uncovered last week
by lcasers on block of ground on the
500 level While the general average
of the ore is about $3.50 per ton. num-
Der OF samples have been brought to
town that will run into the thousands.
The lucky leasers are Ed. Haller,
Alvey Miller and Dave Linn. and they
figure there is $4,000 already exposed
with every indication of big ore body
a few feet further west.
j. Fl. Miller informs the Bulletin
he believes the present strike is a con-
tinuation OF the big ore body worked
by the company in 1908 between the
900 and the 700 foot levels At the zoo
the ledge was lost and Mr.. Miller be-
lieves that the present leascrs have now
found it. The company took out
over 100000 between the six and sew
Ell hundred loot levels. and it is not
unlikely that present leasers are
working on the nucleus OF another big
high-grade orc body
