Collins, former judge of the Marion

prepared petition which was pre-

Collins, however, has advised Cole
man to withdraw it. He sees the
case as an attorney-cold facts and
legal knowledge rule his opinion.

mother repeats frequently as she
discusses the case, as if that were
enough to set aside all precedent.

BONUS SCRAP
FACES LEGION
Bitter Battles Loom for
Convention Opening.
By United Press


PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 12.-
Commander Henry L. Stevens pre-
pared to rap the fourteenth nation
al convention of the American
Legion to order here today, with
three outstanding controversial is
sues in the foreground.
The issues are payment of the
bonus, treatment of the bonus ex-
peditionary army at Washington,
and choice of successor to Stevens.
A small but determined anti
bonus force was marshaled Sunday
night by Sam Reynolds of Omaha,
candidate for commander.
The Nebraska delegation of 200,
pledged by state convention rule to
oppose immediate cash payment on
adjusted compensation certificates,
was backed by the delegations of
South Carolina and Florida, SINH
larly instructed.
Opposing them, however, were
some thirty-six state delegations
that had favored bonus payments
Immediately.
Although the Nebraska group will
fight any bonus movement, the
minority group aligned with them is
expected to concentrate on holding
the almost certain resolution in such
form that immediate cash payment
VIII not be demanded-a demand
they declare would wreck govern
ment finances should it be met.
The release by President Hoover
at Washington of the report of At
torney-G General William Mitchell
Iustifying calling out of troops to
rout the bonus marchehs from
washington was received with COM
plete silence by legion leaders from
Stevens down.
War Secretary Patrick J. Hurley
denied that he had been sent here
by the President either to fight the
bonus or to censure resolutions

The Times learned today
Confronted by financial hazards
school officials announced that they
are negotiating with banks in an at
tempt to utilize sinking fund cash
and investments to increase the
borrowing limit.
The plan, if approved by the
banks, may solve the problem of
meeting nearly 100000 in salaries
Oct l.
A. B. Good, school business direc-
tor, who pointed out that the schools
depend on the borrowing margin
which has been affected by tax de-
linquencies and assessment reduc-
tins, will handle the negotiations.
Borrowing Limit Reduced
The borrowing limit of the school
system recently was reduced to
$4,000, when the board took $780,
900 of the $4,000 margin to meet
current expenses during the sum
mer.
The amount remaining would
make but small impression on the
huge salary roll facing the board at
the end of this month.
Board members are opposed to
issuance of warrants or script in
lieu of pay, and have decided that
If the pay roll can not be met, it
must be held in allegiance until taxes
are collected in November
If the wages are not paid the first
of october and November, the school
debt will more than double
Will Confer With Banks
Good said that finances of the
entire school sinking fund will be
laid before the banks, in an attempt
to meet the situation. The school
system has $470,00O in cash in this
fund and $4,000 in sinking fund
investments.
This coupled with the $3.50, 900
would bring $675,OOO into operation
for a margin.
The banks may refuse to counten-
ance support of the proposal because
sinking funds are laid aside each
year to provide for maturity of
previously issued bonds, it was
pointed out.
Teachers have almost a full
months pay due them Oct. l. They
started the fall semester Sept. 6.
Majority of the janitors and office
employees worked through the sum-
mer, and have been paid regularly.
Like Chicago Situation
Nonpayment of salaries would
throw the school system into stu
alton similar to that in Chicago
where teachers were unpaid for
months. That condition was fol-
lowed by inability of the city to pay
police and firemen.
Good and other officials said that
If a plan is effected whereby the
sinking fund finances can be uti-
lized as borrowing margin, the tax
payment will be sufficient to meet
loans and salaries.
Prospect of a payleSS month fol-
lowed closely on additional salary
cuts among school employees.
