THE WEATHER-WHAT TO DO?

The weather, as Mark Twain said always is a topic Of conversation but nobody seems to do any tning about it. The past week or two it has been d more popular topic than ever with storms sweep ing the East South, Middle West Far West and even little winter occurring around Juneau
 The Puget Sound country widely known for it's ordinarily mild climate, was first harassed with snow and freezing weather to be followed by a warm wind which sent rivers roaring out of their banks and some 18000 persons homeless Even Cali 1ornia which has never failed to keep the record straight about its climate feels the hand of earth quake and flood from time to time And popular conception often goes as far to put the climatic conditions of the neither regions on a comparative basis
 Residents of Juneau they go about the busi- ness of stoking the furnace, after all have little cause for complaint these long winter evenings Its much pleasanter to haunt the basement heatinp plant than it is to ride a housetop in the flood area.

letter may be interpreted merely as the opening manoeuvre in opposition to a project which, II damned through Congress his veto would either involve direct imitation of the currency or smash his budget plans. He has wisely chosen to make this first manoeuue clear and unimpassioned explanation of the whole question. With such a statement as he puts the case on record, appeals for wider public understanding of the issue and arms his friends in Congress with something more than indignation.
 Without waste of words, MT Roosevelt demolishes the three principal arguments of those who demand immediate payment of the bonus-namely, that the Government now owes something like S20OOOOO to it's exsolders that payment of this sum IS neces- sary to aid those in distress and that the expenditure of the amount thus distributed would hasten the recovery of business
 With regard to the Governments obligation, he points out that it is not due until 1945; that the present value of all of the veterans adjused service certificates now outstanding is only $4lOOO00Oo above the amount already borrowed them and that some ex-soldiers have actually borrowed more than the present worth of their certificates" With regard to the question of relief he notes that all citizens (ex-solders includedD share equally in the generous relief funds distributed by the Government While in the matter of employment "a very definite and distinct preference is given to veterans" In this connection he asks whether the eXsolder would really gain by sacrificing his insurance policy for the sake of immediate payment when the Govern
 
 of it's war veterans, upon death leave no legacy to their wives and children except their service cerfi cates. Finally, so far the stimulation of business is concerned, he points out that no such effect followed the distribution of approximately $1,000,- 100000 to exsoders in 1881, when the loan value of their certificates increased. This is new finding. On the basis of first-hand investigation at the time the Administrator of Veterans Affairs reported in 1892 that most of the money thus paid out had simply assisted in the liquidation of in- debtedness" and had practically effect upon the business situation in the country"
 The President states these points with quiet force. He plainly hopes that they will rally enough sentiment against the bonus plan to kill it early in the session. But he left no doubt, when last confronted by this issue, of his readiness to il through. Last February he wrote this memorandum for the Speaker:
 Naturally, when I suggested to you that
 I could not approve the bill for the payment
 of the bonus certificates did not mean that
 I might let it become law without my sigma
 ture I don't do things that way. What I
 meant was that would veto the bill and I
 don't care who you tell this to.
