Coolidge Loses Fight
10 Defeat Bonus Bill

The soldiers bonus bill passed the
senate last Monday by a vote OF 50
to rs thus making the measure =
law in the face OF President Cool
idge's veto which he fought to the
last moment to have sustained when
he called a breakfast conference at
the White House to induce several
senators to sustain his veto as a
party pledge.
The measure to compensate world
war soldiers for equitable losses
sustained during their service. as 4
national measure. has been vetoed
by two presidents. The late Presi-
dent Harding vetoed similar
measure during his administration
which the house passed over his
veto. His veto. however was sus-
tanned In the senate.
The measure received the ap-
proval OF the house Saturday by So
votes over the necessary two-thirds
majority.
The last move Of the administra-
tion was to seek delay in the vote
until next Saturday. The senate was
In no mood for deferred action and
when Senator Ashurst of Arizona

action cries of "vote" vote" came
from both sides Of the chamber.
Secretary Mellon said he WAS no,
prepared to discuss the effect OF the
bonus upon the treasury's financial
program but that sooner or later
there must be provision for pay
ment and It can be met only by new
taxes"
White House officials In discus
sing the senate action emphasized
that the Mellon tax reduction pro-
gram was predicted upon the AS
sumption that there would he no
bonus legislation. While they re-
fused to say so directly they left thu
impression that congress having
decided ON q bonus. hope OF material
tax reduction must be abandoned.

FAKE STOCK LOSS
.. IN MIDWEST HIGH
Industrial Regions of Ohio,
Michigan and Indiana
Heaviest Losers.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. December 16.-The
industrial Middle West, Michigan.
Ohio and Indiana. is probably the
heaviest loser in the country by the
operations of the fraudulent stock
promoter, according to a Nation wide
survey now being undertaken by the
national vigilance committee of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World.
The survey is based upon the an
swers to n QUESTIONABLE sent out to
40 better business bureaus and
nearly 500 chambers of commerce in
every State in; the country. Tt re-
vealed that the per capita stock loss
throughout the country is about Sc
and that the group of individuals who
pay the highest toll are mine and
factory workers, chiefly of foreign
birth.
East Loses Heavily.
Next to Michigan. Ohio and Indiana,
the industrial East-Pennsylvania
New York, Massachusetts, and to a
less extent New JERSEYS the
heaviest loser in the country. The
old South and the agricultural Middle
West of Iowa, the Dakotas, Kansas
and Nebraska are relatively immune
from fraudulent stock promotion.
And so also. but to a less extent, is
the Rocky Mountain region. Along
the Pacific coast, particularly the
southern part, and in Texas, Okla
homa and Arkansas, the losses again
are heavier.
The highest per capita loss of any
town or group of towns, $40, was re-
ported by seven adjoining towns in
Pennsylvania. The combined popuIa-
tion of all Of these towns is about
10000. Two cities of 10000 popula :
tion, one in Michigan and one in
Ohio, each reported a loss of $1,000
600, or $50 per capita.
Losses Are Reduced.
1t is a significant fact, however
Lou Il. Holland, president of the AS
soCiated Advertising Clubs of the
World, said in commenting on the
survey and its objective of "Investi-
gate Before You Invest" that al
though 80 per cent of the organiza-
tions reported losses in their COM
munities during the past year
through fraudulent or highly specula-
tive investment, as per cent of this
number believed that their educa-
tional and vigilance methods had
proved effective in reducing them
Only about 20. per cent reported nc
increase in effectiveness and only
about per cent reported a decrease
Mr.. Holland cited examples show
ing how the work of the vigilance
organizations had saved the public
and legitimate business many mil
lions of dollars. In Detroit the Bet
ter Business Bureau in three years
had reduced fraudulent stock losses
from about $4,000 to 5000 600
In Long Beach, Calf, stock promo
tlon schemes aggregating over $685.
600, 900 had been checked in seven
months and their promoters thrown
