ceived 139. while Mr.. Shaw only re-

sition to Isaiah r. Morrell OF BrNns-
wick. who has held the position for the
past half dozen years. Mr.. Morrell

HARDING VETOES
THE BONUS BILL
Executive Outlines Reasons for Action
in Lengthy Message to House
of Representatives
NO MEANS OF RAISING MONEY
House Passes Bill Over President'a
Head

President Warren G. Harding killed
the soldiers bonus bill by, his veto
last Tuesday. In returning the bill
to congress without his approval, the
executive in a lengthy message out
lined his objections, declaring that he
is in accord with the avowed pur-
poses of the bill but could not sub
scribe to its provisions.
The national legislative bodies failed
to provide the revenue from which the
bonus was to be paid. The ultimate
cost cannot be estimated definitely,
but treasury officials figured the total
at $750, 100000 for the first four years
with final charge of more than four
billion dollars.
House leaders had arranged, in the
event Of veto, to pass the bill over
the presidents head. Friends of the
bonus appear confident that more than
the necessary two-thirds majority can
be obtained in the house, but do not
seem to be any too hopeful about the
situation in the senate. Opponents of
the measure in the senate claim to
have two more than the one-third ne
cessary to sustain veto and express
the belief that before roll call at least
two more will join their ranks.
Veto was regarded as certain
by congressman as soon as they learn
ed that Harding was preparing mes
sage, because he would not do this
ordinarily If he contemplated affixing
his signature.
Before meeting with the cabinet
members, with whom the president
discussed his message, Mr.. Harding
continued his conference with sena-
tors, his callers including Senator'S
Cameron Of Arizona, Norbeck Of
South Dakota, Oddie Of Nevada and
Stahfield of Oregon, who voted for
the bonus in the senate.
These four men went to the white
house at the presidents invitation and
, were asked to give serious considera-
tion to figures he intended to present
as to the financial condition Of the
government and the drain which would
be imposed on the treasury by the
bonus.
A radio message received at the
high school yesterday afternoon
; stated that the house had passed the
measure over Presidents Harding'a
veto, the exact vote not being given.
