COOLIDGE VETOES
SOLDIER BONUS BILL
Says Five Years Progress in
Lifting Burden Will Be Wiped
Out if Measure Is Passed.

Washington. - President Coolidge
sent his second veto to Congress when
ne transmitted to the House mes
sage disappearing the Soldiers Bonus
bill.
The Presidents argument followed
closely that of his veto message on
the Bursum Pension bill, and he dwelt
particularly on the inability of the
Government to meet the heavy expen-
diture that would be entailed by the
Bonus bill. He declared that there
was no moral justification for such
compensation after the insurance al
ready provided for the service men
and the provisions made for the
wounded and ILL.,
The message was read in the House,
where it was received in silence, even
by Republicans who are confident
that the arguments of the President
will not prevail to change enough
votes to prevent the veto being over
ridden. They explained that members
had pledged themselves to bonus
two years ago and could not rescind
Friends of the bonus in the House
maintain that the veto will be rejected
by the same ratio in which the bill
was approved on March IS, by vote
of 355 to 81.
American Legion figures have it
that there are four more votes in the
Senate than are necessary to override
the veto. The Bonus bill was passed
by the Senate on April 23 by vote
Of 81 to II.
The insistence of the President in
this, as in other recent expressions.
upon Government economy lent new
color to the idea that he intends to
veto the ta1 bill also. Mr.. Coolidge
has taken the ground that the fnan-
cial system of the Government must
be organized so that the demands
Of the budget will be met, instead of
having it faced with a deficit.

BOTH HOUSES VOTE
TO BAR JAPANESE
House 308 to So, Senate SO to
9, Pass Immigration Bill, Ig-
noring CooIidge'S Plea.

Washington.-By overwhelming ma
jorities, both the Senate and House
adopted the conference report ON the
immigration bill, including the jap
anese exclusion provision, and disre-
garded President Coolidge's request
that the exclusion clause be deferred
until 1925. The act, as passed, will
go into effect on July ! this year.
The vote in the Senate was SO to 8
for the conference report, and in the
House 3O8 to So, in each case much
more than sufficient to override any
veto.
Senator Robinson, the Democratic
floor leader, before the vote was taken
drew from Senator Reed of Pennsyl-
vania chairman of the Senate con-
ferees, the statement that the date
when the Asiatic exclusion should be-
come effective was put at July l Of
this year, instead of Immediately, as
provided in the original Senate bill,
without any thought being given to
the negotiation of a "gentlemen's
agreement" with Japan, and that the
conferees had held that immigration
was strictly a domestic issue.
The opinion was expressed in Adj
ministration circles that President
Coolidge would veto the bill because
of the insistence of Senate and House
on the provision which would make
Japanese exclusion effective July 1.
and thus wipe out any hope of having
the anti-Asiatic clause softened by
diplomatic negotiations. There was
a good deal of speculation, however,
as to what would be the final result
opinion generally being that veto
would be overridden.
There has been no announcement
from the White House concerning the
Presidents attitude, but it is under
stood that Secretary Hughes has adj
vised him to disapprove the bill.

The fact that the club is carrying
$4,000 insurance on the building and
$1,000 on the furniture is an item
of interest included III this report.
The success of the campaign to place
the club on business basis by
raising the dues to cover the run

tke club house debt by issuing non
interest bearing bonds are two i'm
pe1tant items mentioned.
Reporting on her personal aetiv-

mittees of the Ten Thousand Club,

items are found in the other reports,
Due to lack of space these could

Mrs. Tom Gill reported, as chair

special gatherings. This report, like
that of the music committee, mod
cstly gives no indication of the
amount of real work on the part of
the mem bers of the committee, or
the pleasure given to the club at
each gathering. The fact that com
nittees such as these and also Mrs.
