Interest on War Loans Would Pro
Tide Funds Tor Payment of
Compensation
Washington Aug 30 — Without a
record vote the senate approved Tues-
day the use of the interest on the
foreign debt in financing the soldiers'
bonus
Also it substituted the Smith-Mo
Nary 1350000000 reclamation bil
for the land settlement option in the
house measure Then it quit for tho
day with a final vote on the bonus
measure at least one and perhaps
two or three days distant
Siaswsf Make Proposal
The amendment authorising the
payment of the bonus charge with
the interest on the $11000000000
owed the United States by allied na-
tions was proposed by Senator Sim-
mons democrat North Carolina He
and Senator Reed democrat Mia
aouri and other members urged it as
a means not only of meeting Presi-
dent Harding’s requirement that the
bill carry a means of financing but
'also of silencing the talk about the
cancelation of the foreign debt
A roll call on the proposal was de
manded at first but this demand was
withdrawn presumably because' of
the apprehension of leaden that
quorum could not be obtained at the
then late hour division was ’had in
stead thirty-three senators signifying
their approval of the amendment anjl
one Senator New Indiana his dis-
approval - (
Party Line Disappear
The Smith-McNary reclamation
amendment was agreed to by a vote
of 43 to 26 Party lines disappeared
on the roll call' twenty-three republi-
cans and twenty democrats support-
ing the amendment and eighteen re-
' publicans and eight democrats oppos-
ing it All of the senators from the
far-western states voted for the pro-
posal and all of those from the New
' England states voted against it
The Smith-McNary amendment
would provide for the rec aiming of
arid lands in the west through irriga-
tion and swamp lands in the south
and other sections by drainage the
work to be done under the direction
of the secretary of the interior
through federal and state co-operation
Veterans of the world war the
Spanish-American war and the Phil-
ippine insurrection would be given
first opportunity to obtain home-
steads and also in working on the va
rious projects
Opposition to the amendment was
voiced by Senators McCumber repub-
lican North Dakota in charge othe
bonus Lenroot republican Wiscon-
sin and Robinson democrat Arkan-
sas The charge was made that op
ponents of the bonus were supporting
this proposition in the hope that it
would furnish an added reason for the
president to veto the bonus
Senator McNary republican -Oregon
who proposed) the reclamation
feature told Senator McCumber that
the bill would stand a better chance
of executive approval with his amend-
ment attached than it would without
it

different views
' First order proposing "pot luck"

sented Art L Walker third com-
missioner was out of the city at the
time but was supposed to be agree-
able to the new measure His fail-
ure Tuesday to sign the order brought
out a new proposal '
A second order is offered to sup-
plant the "pot luck" proposal of Sat-
urday it is understood The newest
as drawn Tuesday proposes to esti-
mate the gin rates on the same sys-
tem in vogue last year except for
a possible 5 cent raise brought about
by the increase in the price of cAal
Commissioner Walker has signed
this order Commissioner Hughes
and Commissioner Russell have not
All three refuse to disclose their stand
on the latest order --
"There seems to be some friction
but don’t quote me" commissioners

work to find a common ground for

N Ever thing
Muskogee Aug 30 — Local federal
officials are seeking a law which will
protect farm stock pirs horses cat
tie and goats and including chicken

Fanners living in the Prangs vicin-

distillers moving from place to place

farmers came here recently to inter-
view ' federal officials as to ' some
means to stop the mash-dumping

Poor Attendance at Wilson Given
' As Reason For Transfer of
The Games to Duncan
' President McGregor of the Duncan
Ball Club received notice this morn-
ing that the games between the Oil-
ers end Wilson scheduled to be play-
ed in Wilson September ’ 7-8-9 had
been transferred to Duncan This
will give this city four more-games
atlhome as there is a “rained out"
game with Wilson to be played here
After the present series here with
El Reno the Oilers will be on the road
for three games with Guthrie after
which they will be at home for the
remainder of the season
' The games to be played here are:
Orphans — Four games Sept (10)
11 12 ’
Wilson — Four games Sept (4)
5 6
Wilson — Three games Sept 7 8
9
() Sunday and holiday games
There are two Sunday games and
on tl)e Sunday that the Orphans play
here there will be a double header
There fs a double header scheduled
with Wilson- also and if the business
houses close on Labor Day the double
header will be played on that date
otherwise it will be played on the Sun-
day that the Wilson team is here
In all probability Umpire Houser
will officiate for the rest of the sea-
son in Duncan His work with the in-
dicator has given such complete sat'
isf action that he has made a friend
with every fan in the city
There seems to be some sort of a
misunderstanding about this umpir-
ing business There has been no
trouble other thart the inability of
the league management to secure of-
ficiators at the salary of $6 per day
That’s all there is to it

frightened and being unable at that
hour to determine the cause of the
occurrence did not lend any degree of
satisfaction to flustrated nerves
