COOLIDGE SAYS
COUNTRY CAN'T
SUPPORT DRAIN
President Decides to Return
Measure to Senate Where
1t Originated
RIDER WAS ON BILL
Carried Also Cable Provision
Regarding Publicity of
Campaign Expenditures

Washington, June T. (Bv
the A. P.)-The postal salary
increase bill was vetoed by
President Coolidge today with
the declaration that govern
ment extravaganza mus t
stop"
1t was returned to the Sen
ate with a message objecting
to the legislation because it
made no provision for raising
the approximately $68,0OO
from the postal revenues.
Overwhelming majorities
have been given the bill in
both branches of Congress,
the Senate having voted ap-
proval of the conference re-
port without a dissenting vote
or a roll call, and the House
S62 to six.
There was serious doubt,
however, whether time re-
manned to attempt repassage
over the veto.
The President was to return the
measure to the Senate in which it
originated before the final adjourn
ment tonight, with Il message declar-
ing that it would impose an un-
warranted drain upon the public
treasury, it was announced early in
the day.
The measure as sent to the Presi-
dent yesterday carried as a rider the
Gable corrupt practices bill providing
for limitation of expenditures in be-
half of senatorial and house candi-
| dates. The postal pay provisions
were estimated by proponents of the
Legislation to entail an expenditure
of $6s,000,000. Postal clerks, car
riers, inspectors and supervisors and
assistant postmastera would receive
| raises averaging about $500 each.
About 25 employees in the Bis
marck postoffice would have been af-
fected by the postal salary increase
bill passed by Congress. The
measure, hard fought during the
session, finally was given congress
sional approval yesterday. AS
it came out of conference, it is
| understood the bill carried $500
year flat increase for clerks, car
riers, rural mail carriers and others
of similar grades in the postal SER
vice. The total increase in the Bis
marck postoffice would be in excess Of
| $1,000 annually.
