SENATOR SAYS ‘DISASTROUS’ TO PAY BONUS New Jersey Member of Finance Committee Opposes Compensation. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, April 4.—-Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey is against the certificate plan for a soldiers' bonus embodied in the House bill now before the Finance Committee of which he is a member. The Senator’s viewe were set forth in an open letter to his constituents. His letter did not make plain his attitude on the principle of the soldiers’ bonus. He said he voted to recommit the soldiers’ bonus to the Finance Committee last July because Secretary of the Treasury Mellon had indicated "it would be disastrous to pay the bonus at that time and this position was indorsed by the President in his message to Congress, in which he stated that he felt its passage would seriously embarrass the Treasury.” “Since that time,” said Mr. Frelinghuysen in his letter, “the measure has been proposed again In the House of Representatives and various methods of taxation considered to meet the obligation which would be incurred should the bill become a law. Asa member of the committee in the Senate which would handle such legislation, I have been unwilling to express my opinion in advance of knowing what form the legislation wouid take and how the funds were to be raised for its payment. “The bill passed by the House provides no ways or means to raise the money necessary for its fulfillment. Ordinarily Congress passes legislation without carrying therewith the provision for raising the funds necessary therefor, but the bestowal of the bonus is no ordinary act. I do not know of any other measure which has ever been before Congress which contemplates taking so large a sum from the public treasury for any given purpose. It Is because I believe In a consistent program that I feel that Congress, in distributing so large a public fund, owes it to itself and the country to make a provision for raising that fund. The certificate plan for a cash bonus contained In the House bill, is, in my opinion, unsound and unsafe, and therefore I can not vote for the measure.” —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

Becker’s Speech Stirs Republican Audience Candidate for Congress Flays Faction of His Party.

Published accounts of a speech made by John W. Becker, candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Seventh district, which, he said, were taken from a manuscript, in which he flayed the Lemcke-Koemler machine, lambasted Congress and declared his support for Albert J. Beveridge for the United States Senate, created a stir among party workers, officeholders and office seekers today. The speech for which the manuscript whs written was made at a meeting of the Irvington Republican Club last night. Just whet Becker actually said In his speech 1' a mooted question. Thomas Carr Howe, president of the club, called time on Becker by rapping with his gavel after Becker, according to his version, had launched into a denunciation of the Lemcke-Roemler political machine. Becker admits he did not say all he was quoted as saying, but that “he covered the subject matter.” LIMIT PASSED SIR. HOWE SAYS. According to Mr. Howe speeches of the numerous Republican candidates at the meeting were limited to three minutes, and time was not called on Becker until he had spoken Beveral minutes overtime. Time was not called because of what might have been considered inflammatory utterances, Becker stated this morning, although he had nothing to recant, he said. “It would have been a better Democratic than Republican speech,” one other candidate, who was on the progr t j, declared today. Mr. Howe when questioned about what was said by Mr. Becker said he was inclined to excuse Borne of the things said on the grounds of inexperience on the part of Becker. “I have been asked whether or not the infernal machine was behind me,” Becker was quoted as saying, “It being Intimated that I should obtain its assistance. I have not that organization, built up from a private tt> captain, of men who were of military age, but deemed their political careers of greater importance than their national duty in time of war—yet this same crowd has made patriotism an issue in this campaign. I therefore do presume that they will oppose openly the candidacy of a soldier.”

D., pastor of the church, Is chairman of the meeting. Ed Jackson, secretary of State, will address the Lions.

The “Infernal machine” was said to have been a reference to the LemckeRoemler organization as it is known. A part of the speech quoted was not made, according to Mr. Howe, the presiding officer, but what was said concerning Congress and the Administration evidently did not receive much approval from the assemblage. "The tone of his speech,” said Mr. Ilowe, "indicated that there should he changes made at Washington in the personnel of the members of Congress. Os course, this did not set well with most of those there. Mr. Becker probably does not realize the importance of the big organization with which he should try to be in harmony." MANY CANDIDATES SPEAK BRIEFLY. The Irvington meeting was attended by a host of candidates, many of whom spoke briefly while others did not have a chance to get on the program because of lack of time. Among those present were Pliny Wolford, assistant secretary of State; Louis H. Wright, former director of the State highway commission; Judge James A. Collins, Edward Robison, Edwin J. Hacker, Fred Davenport, Judge Linn Hay and Henry Cochrane. Mr. Becker is an ex-soldier and a worker for Mr. Beveridge. His platform according to the part of his speech, which it is admitted by ail sides he did make, larnbasts Congress. “I have not consulted Albert J. Beveridge concerning my candidacy. The whole world may know I am for him,” Mr. Becker said. The American Congress has been outgeneraled by the rest of the world, he deela red. “Our ships upon finding a foreign market will cease to decay in port. We should send out commissions and envoys for like purposes as European countries are doing. A foreign banking policy must be established under proper regulations. We must obtain and hold a fair share of the world's trade,” he said. Again In reference to his support of Beveridge, Becker said: “In my view a man may he for whom he likes. If we differ there should be no feeling as between ourselves. I admire such a person for his honesty and frankness.”

LEGION PLANS INTERNATIONAL VETERANS’ BODY Commander MacNideFs Proposal Indorsed by Many College Heads. An organization pledged to the cause of international amity, composed entirely of veterans of the World War from all allied countries, is being fostered by the American Legion. The “Interu-Allied Veterans’ Federation,” the newest (x-servlce men's unit, already has received the indorsement of practically every college president in the United States. These collegiate heads represent institutions of all denominations in all parts of the United States. The indorsement of the legion's plan to do its utmost to make for closer harmony between the allied nations came as the result of a personal letter which Hanford MacNider. national commander of the legion, wrote to each of the presidents. X In addition to gaining the support of the educators, the legion learned a large portion of the personnel of the universities and colleges conslts of former service men. Their sentiment for the new organization, the presidents wrote Commander MacNider, is such they will lend their efforts to promote the ambitions for which the association stands. Among those educators who have given the inter-allied veterans’ plan their approval are. E. 11. Liniey, chancellor. University of Kansas;- President Frank J. Goodnow, John Hopkins University; President Bizzell, Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College: President Coffman, Minnesota University; President Hunt, Bucknell University; President Iletzel, New Hampshire College; 11. P. Talbot, acting dean, Massachusetts Institute of j Technology; President David Kinley, University of Illinois; President Wilbur, j ! Stanford University; President Burton,! University of Michigan and President! Woods of Maryland University. The columns of nearly nil the college \ publieations were thrown open to Com- 1 mandcr MacNider for any message which : he may wish to send to the student body.

ISSUE BONDS OVER REFUSAL County Board Authorizes Financing Michigan Road. Bonds totalling $216,000, over the refused approval of the State board of tax commissioners, will be issued by the Marion County board of county commtsI sloners, it has been announced by Harry I D. Tutewiler, president of the board. The bonds are to be issued for the purpose of obtaining money to finance the construction of a part of Michigan road in Washington and i'ike Townships, j The Issuance of bonds to the amount named was disapproved by the State tax board on the groun that the specifications 1 for the road called for the use of certain sorts of expensive materials which would not produce a higher grade road than wouid the use of cheaper materials. At the time the State board refused to approve the project, delegations urging both that tKc road be improved ami that the Improvement bo deferred nppeared before the board. Concerning the stand of the State tax body, Mr. Tutewiler said, "It is my unj derstanding that the State board of tax j commissioners has no jurisdiction over bond issues upon which less than 5 per cent is paid. We will pay less than 3 per cent on this Issue, but that road is going to be hard surfaced.” Head of Lumber Company Dies Forrest T.
