HARDING KILLS
VETERANS' BILL
President Emphatic in Dealing Blow
to Measure for Service Men's
Compensation.
CEDAR CREEK HERE SUNDAY
While the game last Sunday on
the local lot was supposed to be the
official closing of the season, the
fans will have the opportunity on
next Sunday of seeing: the Cedar
Creek team piloted by Manager Bob
Stivers in action at the part east of
the Burlington station. The Cedar
Creek team ha3 made. an excellent
record for the past season - and
should give the fans an exhibition
of real baseball in their tangle with
the local swat kings.
VERY SERIOUSLY ILL
The condition of Mrs. Fred Wynn
at the Immanuel hospital in Omaha
continues very serious and the pa
tient has shown but little improve
ment if any.' Mrs. C. S. Forbes, moth
er of Mrs. Wynn, is with ner daugh
ter every day and doing all possible
to assist in her care and the friends
are hopeful that a change for the
better may take place.
W. C. Barton and A. II. Trammell
of Eagleville, Mo., who have been
out in Wyoming for some time en
joying a visit and looking over the
land, came in yesterday for a short
visit with Rev. and Mrs. A. O. Holl
owed," who were former residents at
Gillette, AVyo. u" - V
Washington. Sept. 19. Exercising
his veto power in emphatic manner,
President Harding today dealt the
soldiers bonus bill what appears to
be a death blow. He not only reject
ed the bill, but in his message ex
plaining his act. questioned the pol
icy of awarding patriotic service
with cash.
Nothing short of a political mir
acle can save the bill. Its supporters
enthusiastic in their optimism for
two years, have now practically giv
en up hope of miracles.
The house of representatives un
doubtedly will override the veto by
a wide majority tomorrow, but in the
senate the anti-bonus forces appear
to have control by a slender majority
of two or three votes. Tonight there
appears to be no present prospect of
a break in their ranks.
Senate Behind Harding
Only 33 votes, counting pairs, are
needed to sustain the veto, and the
careful canvass today indicated that
there would be 35 or 3 6 votes to sup
port the president.
President Harding vetoed the bo
nus bill and sent it back to congress
for two main reasons which he sot
forth at the outset of his message.
First, because it failed to provide
the revenue to defray its expense.
Second, because, he said, "it estab
lishes the very dangerous precedent
of creating a treasury covenant to
pay which puts a burden, variously
estimated between $4,000,000,000
and $5,000,000,000, upon the Amer
ican people, not to discharge an ob
ligation, which the government al
ways must pay, but to bestow a bo
nus which the soldiers themselves",
while serving in the World war did
not expect."
Perversion of Funds
He further declared that a "peace
bestowal on the ex-service men, as
though the supreme offering could
be paid for in cash, is a perversion
of public funds, a reversal of the pol
icy which exalted patriotic service in
the past and, suggests that future
defense is to be inspired by compen
sation rather than consciousness of
duty to flag and country."
