because tentative arrangements for
renting quarters in the Glacier
apartment building at Seventh

Be Avoided

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a.
(UP)- President Roosevelt
said today he hoped the adj
ministration's detectives for
American agriculture could
be achieved without constitu-
tional amendment.
The president outlined his farm
goal as designed to maintain soil
fertility and TO pass en- to the
next generation a better and more
permanent producing power.
The President outlined his OBJ
jectives as follows:
To manage the physical land
use of the United States so as net
only to maintain the soil fertility
but to hand back to the next gen.
Grafton a country with better pro-
ducing power and a greater per-
rilanency for land use.
I'VE have get to go long way

the past in order to make the
United States as productive as it
was 100 years ago." the president

ident Harrison sent his message dis
approving the measure in longhand.
pointing out that last year he gave
complete reasons for vetoing the
measure then and that my convic-
lions are as impelling today as they

The vote to override was 324 to
81. This compared with a vote of

the house OVERRIDE veto of the
Patman initiation bonus bill.
The senate is scheduled to act
on the bonus veto Monday.
The bill provided for payment of
the bonus in baby bonds which
would be cashed at once or held as
an investment.
The Presidents message read as
follows:
II return herewith, without my
approval, H. r. Bill 9870, entitled an
act to provide for the immediate
payment of World war adjusted
service certificates, for the cancella-
ton of unpaid interest accrued on

"On May %, 1885, in disapproving
a bill to pay the bonus in full i'm
mediately instead of in 1915, I gave
in person to joint session of the
congress complete and explicit reas-
onS for my actions.
Lists Differences
THE bill / now return differs from
last years bill in only two important
respects: First, it eliminated the is
suance of unsecured paper currency
to make the payments required and
substitutes interest bearing bonds
which, however, may be converted
into cash for face value at any time
second, it adds 1868, 100000 to the
total payments by forgiving inter-

borrowed.
