ditions, last year was one Of

dent Mark Lansburg stated in

of governors. Despite the de-
crease in prices the volume of
business for 1880 was only 2 per
cent below that of 1929.

advanced to have the District
Government meet the expense of
removing the tracks of the Mount

ington Railway in the triangle
area the association heads recon-
mended that the Federal Govern.
ment reimburse the transporta-
ton company.
They also urged the proposed
appropriation of 100000 for the

from the District appropriation
bill, be included in the deficiency

HOOVER BEGINS
WORK ON VETO
Of BONUS
Presidents Mind Is Made Up
But He Plans to Get Mel
Ions Advice on Message

President Hoover today began
work on a brave, but futile docu-
ment-his veto of the World War
veterans loan bill. 1t will be
submitted to Congress about the
middle of next week, not later
than Thursday, and that body
promptly will re-enact the meas
ure in the face of his disapproval,
thus making it law, regardless.
Wants Time To Think
Mr.. Hoover is delaying trans
initial of his veto message only
because he recognizes the great
political Importance attached to
its contents, and he wants four
or five days for very careful con-
sideratiOn of it. Otherwise, it
would have been returned imme-
diately following its receipt yes
terday.
Advice and counsel of Secretary
Mellon, Under-secretary Mills,
Budget Director Roop and Gen.
Frank T. Hines, administrator Of
veterans affairs, will be sought
by the President in drafting his
message.
Fears Financial Burden
Primarily, Mr.. Hoover fears the
measure-which would increase
the loan value of the bonus GER
tificates from 2212 per cent to
so per cent-will place a burden
of an additional billion dollars
on the nation at a time when it
is least able to bear it.
When, on September 10, 1922,
Warren G. Harding vetoed the
first bonus bill because Congress
had failed to provide the reve-
nue. for it, he said:
"It would place a burden on
the people to bestOw a bonus
which the soldiers themselves,
while serving in the World
War, did not expect"
Calvin Coolidge. on May IS,
1924, in vetoing the present law
said:
1--WE owe no bonus to able
bodied veterans. Our country
can not afford it,"
