SENATOR COUZENS DESERVEDLY
REBUKE

Senator James Couzens was totally ignored by
the Republican State convention in Michigan, his
home state, last week Senator Couzens was un-
doubtedly looked upon by the Republicans of
Michigan as betrayer of his party
man of great wealth he was appointed by
the general of Michigan late President Harding)
to the high position of senator, as a Republican.
AS such he accepted the appointment Just few
few days ago he was upbraided for not adhering
to Republican principles"
He joined in with Gov. Pinchot of Pennsyl-
vania in an attack upon Secretary Mellon, and
has endeavored to discredit and delittle the adj
ministration of President Coolidge
Like Pinchot the Republicans of his home state
have now administered to him deserved rebuke
He stands in the same class as Hiram Johnson and
Gov Pinchot, except that Couzens' fault seems to
be that his suddenly acquired great wealth has
gone to his head and made of him an imperious
coxcomb.

no Montana newspaper that we have seen has
recorded the fact that Mr.. Edwin Booth, assist
ant to the attorney general of the United States,
who was one of Wheeler's star defense witnesses
couple of weeks ago, had resigned within the
past week"
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Wheeler stated
before the committee that he had been employed
by Gordon Campbell to represent that gentle
man solely in cases before Montana courts 1t
was also brought out that Mr. Wheeler had receiv-
ed two installment payments on a $4,000 fee
which Campbell had promised to pay him.
Therefore it is not to be wondered at that
Wheeler squirmed when the following letter was
read before the committee last Friday The let
ter was writer, by Wheeler to Campbell on Unit
ed States stationery four days after he had taken
office as senator
II wish you would have your office send me a
detailed report of the condition of your permit
that we discussed with the Standard Oil of Cali
fornia, in order that when | take it up with the
Department of the Interior | will be able to in
diligently discuss the matter. | have been eX-
tremely busy since arriving here, trying to get
located, and have an appointment this afternoon
with some people from California who signified
desire to hear what have to say with reference
to your holdings near Kelvin"
Bear in mind that Mr.. Wheeler became the le-
gal representative of Mr.. Campbell before he took
office and at the time he wrote the above letter
he had still something like $4,000 coming to him
on the retainer which Mr. Campbell promised to
pay him, and which, Wheeler himself, stated, he
would not go to see Campbell until he had received
That was at the time Tom Stout of Lewistown, re-
quested Wheeler to look after Campbell's bust
ness.
IF Senator Wheeler was not making an effort
to earn the balance of the retainer when he asked
for information which would enable hi INTO talk
about Campbelps permits intelligently when he
went before the Interior Department, what was
he doing?

Now comes Arthur J. Davis of New York and
suggests to the trustees of Columbia University
that they summariy fire DR.. Nicholas Murray
Butler president of that old institution of learn
ing
How many people who read this announce
ment know who Arthur ]. Davis may be?
Most of them know by reputation DR.. Butler,
the noted educator and one of the leading citizens
of the republic.
We will enlighten you.
Arthur J. Davis is the new superintendent of
the anti-saloon league of New York State, sue
ceeding William H. Anderson, who is now resting
quietly in the penitentiary for having defrauded
the league of funds
When Anderson was first charged with this Of
Tense the officers of the League hoWled long and
loud about it, declaring that it was no more than
a wet frameup to get man who had been
active in hunting down violaters of the liquor law
But the assistant states attorney stood his ground
and an unlimited amount Of abuse and finally
landed Mr. Anderson where he no doubt belonged
But why does Davis want Dr. Butler fired?
For no other reason than he had the manhood and
temerity to stand up before an audience and de-
clare that it his private opinion that the pres
ent prohibition laws were impossible of enforce
ment and as they stand they are not representa-
4 tive of the American spirit.
ne uOcS IloI agree Will Vic dCl-oeaoolI lcaS uC
and they would disgrace him forever for his hon
est expression of opinion.
Fanaticism is running rampant in this country
when it attempts to secure the discharge of any
man from his position simply because he does not
agree with the fanatics.
There is not much danger of their being able
to deprive DR.. Butler of his position but to man
of lesser note and attainment they might be able
J to take the bread out of his chdren's mouths by
securing his dismissal from his job
1t is likely that DR.. Butler will long be the tar
get of the fanatics. Already he has number of
shots fired at him. But such work as that only
lweakens the cause which these character assas-
u sins are trying to help

THE BURSUM BILL VETO


Political writer's in the national capital now
believe that Congress will not pass the Bursum
bill over the Presidents Veto The bill originally
passed the senate by vote of 10 to 81 but it ap-
pears that many senator's have changed their
views about paying out large additional sum of
money for pensions and that they will vote to
sustain the veto if they did vote for the bill
Originally. They say now that they will not
permit sentiment to add millions of taxes from
which only one class will benefit
The government is now paying twice as much
annually in claims as it did 20 years ago, al
though there are only half as many beneficiaries
in round figures. 1t has steadily increased pen
sons as the veterans ages increased-the most
recent legislation being in 1920
y 1t has already paid out S6,0OOO000OO in pen
sions. The amount paid out last year was about
$3.50, 100000 This year it will drop to about $3.50,
100000, for death is creeping onward and taking
about 100 veterans each day.
j 1t is paying pensions to 539,756 persons, but
only 1905 of them ever wore uniform and
comparatively few of these ever saw any fighting.
Of the total 278700 are widows about 5000 are
children, and the balance nurses or dependents.
The government spends more than 100000 an
nually in running department to pay these
claims.
. The civil war presents the greatest number of
pension receivers. There are 1894 male sur
vivers of that war receiving from $50 to S72 or
more per month. Then there are 258, $3.50 widows
of civil war veterans receiving $50 month plus
$500 per month for each child. And though it
sounds peculiar to speak of minor child of vet
eran of war that ended nearly 60 years ago.
there are 1888 minor children getting pensions
and 903 other helpless chidren-minor or major
being paid monthly sum- If both parents are
dead the child may receive the full pension until
he is 16
In other wars the treatment has been the same.
Some thirty-five widows of the war of 1872
fought 112 years ago and many, many years be-
fore they were even born-are paid pensions.
Veterans of the Mexican war get pensions the
same as those of the Civil war. Veterans, widows
and children of the Spanish-Amercan war are re-
ceiving steadily increasing pensions as their age
increases.
And, another angle: Only about 10000
American soldiers saw fighting with Spain. But
68,393 are receiving pensions and 13, 167 widows
and children of veterans of this war get pensions
These are the facts that have swung the senate
-apparently-to the Presidents view that bill
adding S412000000 to taxes in ten years to help
single class already fairly treated, it is claimed
should not be passed.
President Coolidge estimated that the extra
cost from the bill the first year would be $4,000,
900.
