CONGRESS PASSES SOLDIER
BONUS OVER COOLIDGE

On Monday Congress passed the
Soldier Bonus bill over the veto of
President Coolidge, by two more than
the required two-thirds votes in such
cases made necessary.
Five Senators who supported the
bill on first passage voted against it
on second presentation. They were
Colt of Rhode Island; Keyes of New
Hampshire; Mckinley of Illinois
Phipps of Colorado, and Sterling of
South Dakota.
Among others, Mr.. Coolidge made
the following statements regarding his
position on this proposed measure:
1--WE must either abandon our
theory of patriotism" said Mr..
Coolidge, "or abandon this BILL"
1--WE owe no bonus to the able
bodied soldiers of the World war"
"Patriotism is one Of the high
est and finest of human virtues"
the president continued, land it
cannot be bought or sold. To Of
fer money for it destroys 1t"
The executive declared that
"America as a whole does not
want the bill"
"There is no justification for
it," he said.
Enactment of the measure" the
president continued, would mean
abandonment of one of our most
cherished American ideals" in that it
would sanction an attempt ito make
a money payment out of the earnings
Of the people to those who are physi-
cally we'll and financially able"
Our country cannot afford it," the
president said 1.-THE veterans as a
whole do not want it. All our Ameri-
can principles are opposed to it.
There is no moral justification for it..
"The property of the people belongs
to the people. To take it from them
by taxation cannot be justified except
by urgent public necessity. Unless
this principle be recognized our
country is no longer secure, our
people no longer free"
The president estimated that the
measure would require and appropria-
tion of 146 million dollars for the next
fiscal year in insurance and cash pay
ments, with an additional administra-
tive cost of 61a million dollars. The
1926 appropriation he estimated at
1857 million dollars. To allow the
measure to become law. he said, would
wipe out at once almost all the prog.
ress five hard years have accom-.
phshed in reducing the national debt

Why the President Vetoed
The Bursum Pension Bill
(By Edward Nelson Dingley).

Washington, D. C.-President Cool
idge vetoed the so-called Bursum
pension bill granting pensions and
increases of pensions to certain
soldiers and sailors of the Civil war
and Mexican war, and to certain
widows former widows, minor chill
dren and helpless children of said
soldiers and sailors, and the widows

Indian war veterans and widows and
to certain Spanish war soldiers and
certain married soldiers" simply be-
cause the bill meant an additional tax
burden of S5S, 800, 900 for the first year.
an amount estimated at S242, 900 900
for the first five years and an esti-
mated s415, 100000 for the first ten
years.
The President says emphatically:
mo conditions exist which Justify the
imposition of this additional burden
upon the taxpayers of the nation
1t proposes to add more than 25 per
cent to the cost of the pension rolls.
The need for economy in pub
lie expenditures at the present time
cannot be overestimated. am for
economy. I am against every unneces-
sary payment of money to the tax
payers No public requirement at the
present time ranks with the necessity
for the reduction of taxation This
in authority cease to pass laws which
increase the permanent cost OF gov
ernment. The burden on the taxpay-
ers must not be increased; It must be
decreased. Every proposal for legis-
lation must be considered in the light
Of this necessity. The desire to do
justice to pensioners, however great
their merit, must be attended by some
solicitude TO do Justice to taxpayers.
The advantage OF class cannot be
greater than the welfare of the ma
ton"
Right here is one OF the strongest
planl1s in the Coolidge platform. soon
to be placed before the people. The
platform makers in Cleveland would
do well to incorporate President Cool
idge's words in their economy plank.

THE FARMER AND
THE FREE LIST

Washington, May 22.-"The present
Republican tariff law has not imposed
undue burdens upon the American
farmer but has protected his markets
declares the Republican Publicity as
sociation through it's President, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr. so far as there
was any discrimination at all, effort
was made to favor the farmer by
placing on the free list the commodi-
ties bought by the people of the
country in general.
Nevertheless, there has been per
sistent misrepresentation on this
subject. For instance, the Washing
ton correspondent of the London
Times informs the readers of that
great British daily that the Democrats
in the United States are going to make
an issue of the tariff in the coming
campaign by proposing reduction OF
tariff rates ON virtually all articles
purchased or consumed by the farmer ;
Here are some OF the things purchased
by farmers as distinguished from the
rest Of the people, and the rates OF
duty imposed thereon:
Agriculture implements plows,
tooth or dick harrows, headers, har-
vesters, reapers, agricultural drills and
planters, mowers, horse rakes, culti-
vators, threshing machines, cotton
gins, machinery for use in the manu-.
facture Of sugar. wagons and carts,
nra
than $50 each. and all other agricul-
tural imple lements of any kind or des-
cription, not specifically provided for,
whether in whole or in parts including
repair parts-not on the free list. How
much will the Democrats reduce the
tariff rate?

children on the rolls is 15,643.
The number of army nurses on the
roll is 49,
The number of Indian war soldiers
is 3,469; Indian war widows, 1850.
The number of Spanish war soldiers
on the roll is 1921.
The number on the roll for loss of
both legs or arms, or both eyes, or
total disability is 174.
More than $4,000 pension checks
are paid out each month. Total ex
penditures for pensions in 1928 were
1858, 100000.
The signing of these checks is a
big job. They are printed in sheets
of five with attached sheets, the lat.
ter being kept in books of 1000 for
convenience.
The ten page signagraph is used to
sign the checks with one operation
After they are signed the sheet OF
checks are cut by an electric cutting
machine and then mailed.
They are placed in boxes, 420 in a
DOA, requiring 1,EuV poAes dltosetner.
When filled, these boxes require IL
heavy office trucks to convey them to
the city postoffice.
All pension checks are sent to the
Washington postoffice one week prior
to the 4th of the month when the
pensions are due.

SLAVE GIRL RULED.
Only Person Who Could Sway Mad
Sultan of Turkey.

From the Denver News.
From a slave to Sultan's favorite and
practical ruler of a great empire is the
story of Mihri, Circassian girl, chief
haremite of Abdul Aziz. the mad ruler
Of Turkey, 1861 to 1875.
According to a popular tradition in
Constantinople, Abdul Aziz had formed
a sentimental admiration for the en-
press of France, whom he had met
in Paris in 1867, and made a vow to
find a girl even more beautiful than
Eugene. After securing his whole
kingdom he found Mihri and became
her devoted slave.
Abdul Aziz, who had shown signs Of
mental weakness when he ascended
the throne, became more and more in
sane as time went on, and his mini
sters were unable to do anything with
him. Mihri was the only person who
could persuade him to do anything.
When he became violent she generally
succeeded in calming him. During nine
trying years she handled the refns OF
government with all the skill OF an
experienced statesman.
The Sultan was devoted to Mihri and
lavished all kinds Of gifts on her. Not
content with bestowing on her his own
money, he made such inroads on the
nations treasury that the people final
ly called q halt and Abdul was de-
throned. Mihri stood by him and
shared his prison. After his death.
which, occurred four days after his alb
dication, Mihri was sent by the new
sutton to a government palace in Asia
Minor and was never heard OF again.
