NX7ASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The

summer business boom, but after
the money is spent by the vet
Grams the normal course will be
resumed, if a study of the effect
on business of the bonus loans
made early in 1881 is safe prece-
dent.
The bill for increasing the loan
value of certificates to so per cent
was enacted over President Hoo
ver's veto on Feb. 81. 1881. Loans
thus made available were esti-
mated at around $3.50, ZOO, 900.
Within two weeks more than 100
millions was lent, and by the end
of the month more than 300 mil
lions BY May %, 1881, the total
rose to $50 millions, although the
amount lent in that week had
fallen to Is millions.
This advance of cash to the vet
Grams had marked, but only tenn
porary, influence on business con-
ditions. Throughout 1880 the Fed.
eral Reserve Board index of in
dustrial production had fallen, and
it stood at 83 in January, 1881.

Funeral Bills
THE death of Senator Huey P.
l. Long has focused attention
on a little-known fact-that for
years the government has paid
the bill for burying members of
Congress who die in office.
Ordinarily Senate funerals cost
about $1,000.
But when the bill arrived for
the burial of the assassinated
Kingfish, it totaled $500.
Apparently Huey's henchmen
spared no eXpense-and then sent
the bill to Uncle Sam. Chief item
on the account is $4,000 for
bronze casket. The balance is for
flowers and incidentalS.
Some members of the Senate
audit and control committee are
indignant over the size of the eX-
pense statement, and there was
talk of demanding that it be cut
in half.
But since the designation of
Huey's widow as his successor.
the proposal has been dropped.
Tie total $500 will be paid.
