The charge is made that State reg

at a standstill.
The investments of millions of
citizens in these properties have
been put in a precarious position
and earnings from the same very
greatly reduced, or eliminated en-
tirely. These great industries have
been made the playthings of politics
under the name of regulation. ~

THE BONUS

Washington believes the House
will pass soldiers bonus bill and
that the Senate win eventually fall
in line. The President will veto the
measure, and probably the House
will override IT,. what the Senate
may do is IN doubt. but that body
