OF JUSTICE McCumber Pays Eloquent Tribute to Service Men in Opening} Senate Debate in Amended House Measure; Politics in Co WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—Enactment of soldiers’ bonus legislation at this session of congress is demanded by every honor, Chairman McCumber of the finance committee declared today in opening senate de- bate on the amended. house bill, with its bank loan certificate provision in lieu of the orig- inal proposal for a cash bonus. Asserting that the term “bonus” was a misnomer, Senator McCumber said the purpose was to equalize in a measure the pay! of the men called to the colors with | that recetved by those who stayed at! home and profited by what he char- acterized as a “wild, drunken orgy of extravagance thAt accompanfed the war.” | The finance committees chairman | told the senate the time had come for! congress to show that it was not at-) tempting to play “politics with the} American soldier ,that it was acting In good faith’ when it passed the first bonus just before the elections in 1930. | “The president in his campaign of| Pot ans both in the campaign and floor of the senate have reiterated their determination to make. good these promises. ‘They wee made in good faith and that gqod .aith will be manifested by the yote on this meas: ure.” Referring to the position taken by President Harding and Secretary Mel- Jon inst year, when the executive asked the senate to defer action on the bonus bill because of the then financial condition of the treasury, Senator McCumber requested | that they now view the legislation “in the light of present day conditions.” These changed conditions certainly must appeal to the judgment for a revision of the views of a year ago. he said, adding that the government could meet every dollar this bill will call for without an additional tax levy and without in the slightest degree af- fecting the refunding of-any unpaid short-time obligations. Senator McCumber argued that the funds necessary for the financing of the bonus legislation could be obtained from the refunded foreign debt and that if the refunding were not com- pleted when it became ‘effective, . the }interest from the British debt, which, {he said, the British government al: |ready had planned to. pay, would be | sufficient. | Ini this connection he declared that to his mind there had been an unnec- essary delay in funding the foreign obligations, adding thet there should |be.a settlement with the’ principal debtors, Great Britain, France and Italy, by next January 1. As to the cost of the legislation Mr. | McCumber estimated this at a total of | $3,845,000,000 spread over 40 years. For the next calendar year he placed \the cost at: $77,440,889, increased to $95,177,729 for 1924 and decreased to $73,100,962 in 1925. The cost would ‘run into several ‘hundred millions in { (Continued on Page Four) m pensation Is Flayed recept of financial justice and every principle of politica’ AFTER THE BATTLE (EDITORIAL) Wyoming folks put over a primary election yesterday, but they mixed so much uncertainty with it with refer- ence to some of the results that the official count is likely to be required to clear the situation on the Repub- lican side.

Hinkle and Lucas are trotting a neck-and-neck race down the home stretch for the prize of secretary of state, while Carter and Jefferis are doing the same thing for the au- ditorship. Mrs. Beard and Mrs. Morton are not far apart in the race for public instruction. The governorship nomination, the big. contest, may yet be won by one candidate as well as the other. As case now stands Carey leads by some 700 with some productive Hay territory still unreported. In any event it will be a matter of hundreds'and not thousands by which the winner will secure the nomination. . The friends and supporters oi Carey claim his nom- ination. The friends and supporters of Hay do the same for him. and there the matter rests until the figures that will determine the matter arrive at state headquarters. There is but one thing to be said, even after the spir- ited and even earnest campaign that has been waged for and against the two gubernatorial candidates, which- ever name adorns the Republican election ballot that candidate must have the united party support.
