DEMAND bE MADE HAVE BONUS BILL
 REPORTED SO0|u

WASHINGTON, Dec 13.-A demand will be made on the House Leaders to have the soldiers bonus bill reported from the ways and means committee within thirty days, it was decided by republican ex-service men who met at the office of Representative Fish of New York.
 Politicians apparently do not real ize that the ex-service men are in deadly earnest in demanding adjusted compensation legislation passed a, this session of congress and that no more evasion will be permitted by the administration. The 4,SOO,OOO ex service men are united in their de- mand and it will fare ill with any po- litical party standing in the way of such legislation" said one of their leaders today. Administration off, cials are said to be seriously alarmed at recent developments in the so-call- ed bonus bill, and are rapidly shift ing plans to conform with the pres sure.

The Anchorage Times is authority for the statement that Judge Ritchie announced before leaving for the south that a term of court would be held in Anchorage in April, with a petit jury in attendance and in all likelihood a grand jury will also be called to convene there at that time.

REPUBLICAN LEADERS FACE |NDEf MITE
 SENATE DEADLOCK

WASHINGTON, Dec. Iz.-Senate republican leaders today face an 1n- definite deadlock over the nomination of Senator Cummins, president pro tenn of the senate for chairman of the interstate commerce commission.
 It is stated that Senator Cummins will relinquish one Or the other ot his appointments in case he secures the coveted nomination as chairman of the interstate commerce commits sion and friends rather expect it to be the leadership of the senate.
 Should MT. Cummins relinquish the chairmanship, Senator Lafollette Of Wilconsin, a leader of the progressive group, will be in line for the senate chairmanship under the age old seni- ority rule. While efforts may be made to break the rule, some of the majority leaders say frankly that this would not be possible if the democrats in- sisted on it's observance.
 If Senator CummYns wItndraws as a candidate to succeed himself as pre- siding officer of the Senate, the field will be open at the senate republican conference to be held Saturday.
 Senator Curtis of Kansas, the repub- Iican whip, and Senator Moses, of New Hampshire, are among those sug- gested for the place. Senator Capper of Kansas, chairman of the farm bloc, came out openly today in favor of Senator Cummins.
 As there is no president, the senator elected president pro tenn will be entitled to the vice presidents salary of s12,OOO per annum instead of the s750O he normally receives and will also receive other perquisites of the office.

 And you'v, ncald of tne Great Nor thern raiiroa | as The Glacier Nation al Park rout, ?
 Then perhaps you know that the Chicago, Gree,. western railroad is called the Corn Belt Route"
 All of which to introduce to you The Mckinley Park Route" other wise known as Ihe Alaskl Railroad. which belongs to your own Uncle Samuel and you and which today is adopting The Mckinley Park +toute" as a phrase for advertising purposes.
 Landis Coins Phrase.
 The phrase was decided upon by Col. Lee H. Landis, general manager of the railroad system, in order to give the Alaska railroad distinctive slogan that would help to convince people that Alaska is not a synonym for ice, snow, polar bears ana other frigid elements and that Alaska mas real national park on the line O. the rail oad.
 Not long ago Col Landis coined with Lne Thanksgiving excursion rates on the railroad that instantly caught the fancy of Alaskan editors. IL was ITO the North Star ill a Pd:i- man Car"
 Chamber May Use Slogan
 With announcement that "The Mo Alaskan railroad stationery, folders, and advertising matter, a movement was started today to have Anchorage firms and business men take up the idea. Mr. Loussac will ask the cham Der of Commerce to officially tccog- nize the phrase adopted by Colonel Landis and members will be urged to place on their business stationery +he words '"On the line of the Alaska Railroad the Mckinley Park Route" Col Landis told friends that he ex- pected to use two pages instead of one as heretofore in the National Rail- ways Guide for the time tables and map of the Alaska railroad. The copy for the advertisement is now being prepared, The map will be typical railroad map and will be twice the size of the map used in the last guide.
 Another plan of the new railroad chief is to name one train "The Nc Kinley Park Limited" when the tour ist season opens next year. This train will be the Alaska railroads crack passenger carrier and will be operated throughout the tourist sea- son.
 This train will carry extra sleeping cars from Curry and will be operated on a faster schedule than the regular | trains.

Capper Is Mentioned

capper Is Mentioned
 In the discussion here of vice presl dential possibilities on the Coolidge ticket, three names stand out, those sf Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas. Senator Capper is progressive ana he is great friend of the farmer His farm paper reaches into thousand of farm homes One task of the rerubii- can party is to pacify the fsrmer and bring him into closer sympathy with republican aims. MT. Capper is believ' ed to be one who could do this.
 Another Kansan stands high on the vice presidential list of much discuss ed eligibes. He is former Governor Henry J. Allen. Gov. Allen has proved his progressism and in many ways he fits into the program of Coolidge and his packers.
 Gov. Allen was a progressive when Roosevelt and Pinchot and Hiram Johnson were progressives, so 1t can be seen that he belongs to branch ol the party which is entitled to consiG- eration.
 Senator Lenroo, Possibility
 The third bit of vice presidential timber being talked about is Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin. It would be piece of irony if Lenroot would be the man chosen. For it is no secret that Lenroot had been discussed by tie men back of Harding to be his run hing mate in 20. If the plans had been carried out Lenroot today would be president of the United States. But the machinery went wrong. The cad CTS let a small handful of CoolldSe boomers walk away with the plum Not even Massachusetts proposed MT Coolidge for vice president. They had wanted the head of the ticket or noth ing.
 The West must figure on the Cool idge ticket as an offset to the cry ol New England domination at Washing ton," which is certain to be the dem ocratic slogan.
 2 Gillett Is Safe in Senate Speaker Gillett of the house of rep resentatives was talked of in the light of a sacrifice MT. Gilleit, however could not see it that way. He has been elected to succeed himself and prefers a sure thing to probability.
 New England is going to flirt witt the broad halted men of the West in the coming convention at Cleveland as she has never flirted before New England, despite her long prominence at Washington has not had president for seventy years until Coolidge was sworn in, and she wants to keep him

BENEFIT IN OWNING HOME.
Man With Stake In the Community
Cannot Help but Be Better
Citizen.

The great value in owning home
is the new outlook the home owner
has on life. Instead of being merely
a renter, a more or less dissatisfied
member of large floating population,
with the signing of the mortgages he
becomes citizen, factor in his COM
munity, the owner Of something in
whose growth and development he can
take honest pride. The result is that
he finds his ambitions clarified and
focused now that ne has definite,
tangible object for which to work. He
has assumed certain responsibilities,
and in their discharge he takes not only
interest but genuine pride.
A great business man, on being asked
what advice he would give the young
man starting out in life, replied "Get
in debt" By this he meant that the
assumption of financial obligations with
definite object in view furnished the
necessary balancing influence which
would steady man and set him a
mark to achieve. There is no doubt
that the purchase of home makes a
man a better citizen and more ambi-
tious to succeed in his business; it puts
him In class to which 1t Is priv
ilege to belong-the class which is the
responsible element in the community
the great and steady growing class of
homecoming citizens.
