(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Bonus Marchers Officials at Washington are puzzled as to what to do about the bonus marchers who are flocking into that city from all parts of the country and the marchers, if the truth were known, probably are puzzled as to what they should do now they have arrived. The whole spectacle is just another indictment of the manner in which we American citizens are running this “greatest country in the world,” but, even more, is it an indictment of the expensive and fuzzy-minded manner in which the whole question of veter- ‘ns’ treatment has been handled by congress. When the American Legion national convention went on record opposing cash payment of the bonus, following President Hoover's plea a year ago, the country assumed that the matter was settled, at least until the period of economic stress had passed. But re- cent events indicate that the conven- tion did not speak the mind of the veteran. ‘The reason is not difficult to ascer- tain. The veterans were, for the most part, willing to demonstrate their pa- triotism and forbear to assault the treasury until it became clear that this attitude was hardly universal. When the congress, under urging by the ad- | ministration, passed the reconstruc- | tion finance corporation measure, the cash bonus demand flared anew and with increased force. It gave the bo- nus agitators a new and potent argu- ment that discrimination was being | shown; that so-called big business was | being favored and that the war vet- eran was the victim. Rightly or wrongly, a large number of American citizens feel that way, and the number is by no means lim- ited to those who would benefit di- rectly. Many who never lifted a rifle -or served a day during the war feel that way about it. The government Joan to the Missouri Pacific railroad, ‘so it could pay off its financial back- ers in Wall Street, didn’t improve the temper of the veterans any. ‘Add to this the fact that many of them have nothing else to do and no place else to go, and we have the bonus demand and the march on / Washington as a natural result. In addition to a thousand minor errors, congress has made at least two major divergences from sound pol- icy. The first was the natural con- _comitant of a complex political situa- tion, Here were roughly 4,000,000; ‘votes which, because of common ex- ‘perience and viewpoint, might well be; united on certain subjects. Every- where congressional candidates pan- ‘dered to the so-called veteran's vote as though it were a thing apart. It jhas been easy, in recent years, to get. the idea that the veterans were either | above or below the average standard of citizenship, rather than ordinary | citizens with a fine record of service to the nation. The second major failure was the ' who have capitalized their war service to such extent that they have made it produce @ living for the last 10 years or more and probably will make it Jast until they die. It was these men who applied the political heat, to congress which re- sulted in the broadest veterans’ dis- , ability bill any nation has ever known. ‘ Originally provision was made only | for those whose disabilities were con- nected with their service, but later the law was expanded until a veteran ‘who wrenched his back in a lifting contest at the county fair was given ‘@s much consideration as one whose injuries were received in battle. In als of the former class is larger than _ the average paid to the latter. ‘| ‘The result of all these circumstances \4s that the nation now pays out | yielding to the demands of the “pro-/| qa... , eat setdeane.

Who can blame them if, see- ing that everyone else regards the government treasury as an inexhausti- ble gold mine, they should take their | little shovel in hand and demand the money which the government has promised them. And congress is afraid to do any- thing about it, because it apparently doesn't trust the veteran to be sensi- ble and patriotic. If one needs proof of this he needs only count the num- ber of separate bonus bills that have been introduced since 1924. They are legion and most of them were con- ceived by congressmen and offered without pressure from veterans, in an effort to corral that nebulous entity— the veteran's vote. Fifteenth on the List It appears certain, as the congres- sional session nears a close, that we shall see no new legislation regard- ing agriculture this year. This, despite the fact that the farm- ing districts, of which North Dakota is one, are hoping and praying for something in the way of assistance from that source of all light and ben- evolence, the government. i The act which created the farm board has generally come to be re- garded as an inadequate and com- promise answer to a crying need. It suffers from the ever-present malady of politics, the desire to satisfy every- body. One result is that it has gotten nowhere and accomplished little. But this fact makes insufficient im- pression on congress to obtain speedy action and the reason may be found in the explanation that the country at large doesn't regard the plight of agriculture as of major importance. Proof of this assertion is contained in an analysis of a vote recently taken among the membership of the na- tional council of the economic league, in which every state is represented in proportion to its population. Thirty-eight items were listed as problems of the economic situation and the members were asked to desig- nate the order in which they would The item of “agriculture, farm reliet” was fifteenth on the list when the votes were counted. With 14 other items preceding it in the national economic consciousness, how can we expect congress to rank it any nearer the top? Leading the list by rather a wide margin is the question of governmen- tal economy and efficiency, national, state, city, county, school district and township. Next comes taxation, with repara- tions and international debts and banks, banking, credit and financing close behind. In fifth place, much farther back in the balloting, comes reduction and limitation of armaments, followed by tariffs, restoration of confidence, in- ternational tariff conference, unem- ployment and unemployment relief, economic planning, railroads and transportation, over-speculation, in- ternational cooperation to promote prosperity and security, coordination of the production and purchase of power and, in 15th position, agricul- ture, just ahead of “money, the gold standard, silver.” Unless this relative position of the agricultural problem is changed, it may be several sessions of congress before the plight of the farmer draws attention, and this presents a problem in itself. to emphasize, by their votes and in all other ways open to them, the old axiom that “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. ‘They are published with to whether they with Easy Money Is Hard Money (Duluth Herald) trail.” place them, based on their importance. | The only thing for the farming) areas to do is to struggle ahead and | Joseph Weil, better known as “the Yellow Kid” because of his experience in the confidence game, of which he is a veteran player, on being arrested in Chicago admitted that he was “nearing the end of the easy money “Gone,” he said, “are the days when I could sell anybody anything.” think that the time has come when they can’t sell anybody anything. had for good, certainly it has gone.

At Twelfth street—Wellington’s bus- fest thoroughfare, boasting threo buildings 20 stories high—the flash of green was almost lost in the crash of taxicabs, trucks, Hmousines and small, wheesing vehicles. There was no time now to try to justity her deception, no time for day dreams, The shrill, au- thoritative blast of an officer's whistle sent the swarming mass ahead. The girl in the green car managed expertly to keep abreast of the current. Three blocks more and the roadster swerved to the curb before the Hotel Wellington. Cherry stepped out, surrendered the car to a doorman and ent the gray stone building. She crossed the lobby and mounted the broad stairway leading to the mez sanine. Mazio Cassady whosé glowing titian curls and blue eyes made the cigar stand a highly decorative corner of the lobby tapped the arm of her friend, Joe Kampschmidt, who was leaning over the glass sur- face of the counter. “Well—look what blew in!” Mazie whispered in a tone that belied her indifferent gaze. Kampschmidt concentrated on the slim figure ascending the stair. way. “Some baby!” he said casu- ally, “Who is she?” “Some baby’s right!” Mazie com- mented. “What I wouldn’t give for the dough her old man’s got!

Most of the time she’s away —in Europe or at some swell school ; or something. Gosh—some people have all the luck!” It was 20 minutes after Cherry Dixon's arrival that a tall young man strode into the Wellington | lobby. He wore a gray suit and carried a topcoat.

Phillips!” just before he rounded the bend of the stairs. The young man turned, waved in salute and continued on his way. oe H hyo mezzanine floor of the Hotel Wellington was a rather narrow gallery running the length of the Twelfth street side of the building. | It was thickly carpeted and fur- nished in shades of wood green, bronze and ivory. Groups of over- stuffed chairs, benches and four high-backed lounges were arranged near the iron work railing to over: | look the first floor. Small. desks and chairs stood beside the wall. The lighting was dim because heavy draperies shut out the day- light and only small desk lamps supplemented it. The young man in gray gained the top step and looked about. None of the persons in sight seemed to interest him. There was @ stout writing at the nearest desk. Far ther on two matrons engaged in conversation, one of them gesticu: lating emphatically. At the ex- treme end of the gallery a small boy was bobbing about after a me chanical toy, i The young man stepped forward uncertainly.

The green velour of the chair was @ perfect background for her coloring. The small, rather oval face was creamy ivory except where tinges of rose burned through on each check. Curling lashes made the dark eyes darker. Her lips were crimson, possibly plained by the silver vanity she held. Nature had designed those lips a trifle wide but the effect was charming. The tilted brim of her close ft- ting brown hat revealed a crescent of dark hair over one temple, Bz cept for the brown hat and coral ecart Cherry was entirely in beige —beige suit and sweater, beige nd cobweb hose, gloves and urse of the same shade.

Prevarication No. II for Miss Cherry Dixon that day, but surely she must keep him from guessing at her eagerness. “Then it’s all right.

Say, are you as hungry as I am?” The abrupt change of subject made the girl laugh. “Perishing,” she said. “Positively perishing!” “Then let’s find food!” Phillips snapped two fingers together with @ resounding crack and was on hit feet. Cherry arose and for an in- | Stant they stood there, the ¥ man in dark-rimmed spectacles ; ay ins head only a little above the youth’s shoulder. Her eyes held a dancing’ light of happiness.
