whether any of the bonus army
marches here or not. Those dele.
gates just know they've got to do
something to give nine million
hungry people jobs and something
to eat.
All the delegates know that.
And a lot of them are ready to
come right out and declare for
a $4,000, ,000, 900 job loan to revive
prosperity. Once the convention
gets started on the subject of
hunger, flock of other issues
are going to have to step into the
waiting line.
You know, while all these
delegates were standing around
at the depot, watching the trains
come in. they got another shiver
this morning.
DR.. Nick Murray Butler climbed
off the train and TAXED over to
the Blackstone. That's where
four or five big wet organizations
have their headquarters. And
that's where they're plotting to
turn out this whole wet town OF
Chicago in a parade-yes, wo
parades. And then they're going
to hold a mass meeting and stir
up all the anti-prohibition trouble
they can.
Gibbons to Go on the Air
Delegates looked over DR.: But
Ter. with his white moustache'
and they noticed a bulge
around his breast pocket. Might
have been some examination pa
pers from Columbia University
But the delegates suspected 1t was
that letter from John D. Rocke-
feller, jr., deserting the drys.
So you couldn't exactly say that
a happy day was had by all.
I'll be seein' you on the air, boys
and girls. Yes, sir. right on your
front porch spouting what's go
ing on at this convention through
our old friend, the mike.
Until then, brush the cobWebS

Well. sir. maybe those boys
from Washington thought they'd
get away from the bonus army
by moving out here early.
Maybe they did, in a way
But they ran right smack into
another reminder of the veteran
question.
Yesterday. when the delegates
were sitting around wishing peo
pie would let the G. o. P. alone
long enough to get it's job done
Michigan Avenue just choked up
with bugle and drum corps
Thousands of 'em. Red pants
zouave uniforms, army uniforms
COB clothes. pretty gal nurses in
blue and white-yes, and a gal
drum major-they all came down
that grand old Boul Mich like a
prairie sunset.
All American Legion men. Ban
ners flying. band leaders step
ping high, and every fiftieth man
beating the tar out of a big bass
drum.
Well, they weren't parading for
the bonus. There's going to be a
big military tournament here and
this was a curtain raiser.
But jimminy. those flashy uni
forms were reminiscent Of some
of the tattered ones that Washing.

BUREAU FACING
DEATH IN GUT

A group of employees of the Bu-
reau of Valuation of the Inter
state Commerce Commission to-
day sent to members of Congress
a vigorous protest against the pro-
posed 79 per cent reduction from
the 1881 appropriation for this
single bureau, as stipulated in the
appropriation bill now before the
Senate.
The appeal declared that in re-
ducing the appropriation for this
bureau from $3,554,368 in 1881 to
$3.50 900, as now contemplated by
the Senate committee, 752 en-
ployes of this bureau will of neces
Sity lose their jobs. The protest
adds:
"The work of the Bureau Of
Valuation that will be practical
Iy wrecked by such a drastic
cut, is a vital function of the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. 1t has been unanimously
declared by the commission that
valuation is the keystone of
regulation"
The letter reminds that tht
budget recommendation for the
fiscal year 1882 was $3,233, ,23l
only a per cent cut under 1881
and that the House committee
figure for this bureau, $2,750,000
% per cent under 1881. was itsel
a serious slash. In their protest
the employees explain to the legis
lators the Importance of the worl
of this bureau, and assail the fla
