REPUBLICANS SEEK TO MAKE POSITION PLAIN By Their Action Majority in Senate Gives Sign to Country on Bonus Bill. HOURS OF MANEUVERING WASHINGTON, Juno 21.—8 y their action Republican eupporters of the soldiers' bonus bill have sought to make plain to the country that as soon as the tariff bill shall have passed, the bonus legislation would be considered to the exclusion of all measures excepting those which could not be postponed. They were unable to dispose of that question until after about five hours of debate, explanations, political by-play, and sharp maneuvering. , The votes taken demonstrated that any attempts to wreck the program could be squelched easily. It was apparent that the sharp disputes and counter efforts leading up to the final roll call severely taxed Senator’s nerves. Those opposing the Watson motion to make the bill a “special order of business’ included four democrats and four Republicans, as follows: Democrats— Dial, South Carolina; King, Utah; Myers, Montana, and Williams, Mississippi. Republicans—Edge, New Jersey; France, Maryland; Pepper, Pennsylvania, and Wadsworth, New York. The supporters of the resolution included seventeen Democrats among whom were the leading advocates of the soldiers’ bonus and these who favored displacing the tariff bill. They also included those Republicans such as La Follette, Wisconsin, and Norris, Nebraska, who insisted that the motion be modified so as Ht to forbid new efforts to lay aside the tariff bllL MOTION PROVOKED BY ROBINSON. Mr. Watson’s ->tion was provoked by the charges of St -r Rcblnson of Arkansas, that the pa„ ,ge < the soldiers’ bonus bill was imperiled t r the decision not taking action on the measure until after the tariff bill had passed. The vote was taken on a motion to "lay on the table" the proposal of Mr. Walsh for immediate consideration of the bonus was supported by all Republicans except Senators Norris, Nebr-ska, and La Follfctte. Wisconsin, send opposed by all Democrats except eight. After giving assurances that the decision of the Republican conference as to precedure on the soldiers’ bonus bill would not be abandoned, "Senator McCuinber, North Dakota, expressed the opinion that the President should yield on measures overwhelmingly supported by Congress. The action by President Harding of a year ago In asking the soldiers' bonus bill to be recommitted to the Finance Committee, and to which the Senate acquiesced at that time, was denounced by Mr. Robinson as a precedent “vicious in every possible way.’’ He charged that Mr. Harding used “the unlimited political powers of the executive to impress his will upon Congress." To demonstrate that "the bonus bill will not be disposed of without a fight," Mr. Robinson asked unanimous consent that it be made the order of business after passage of the tariff bill. Senator Borah, Idaho, ohjected. Later Senator Wadsworth. New York, objected to a like request l> Senator Pittman, Nevada. The measure has less support now than a year ago. said Mr. Robinson, and will have even less support in the future. Mr. Watson’s resolution outlining procedure on the two measures was blocked for several bofiira by bickering over its form and long speeches for and against the mbonus. Senator Williams, Mississippi, denounced the measure for “commercializing patriotism.’’

Many Devices to Stop Car Stealing, Still They Disappear

Until some surer Jaw, appliance, method or principle against automobile stealing is devised than exists at present a large share of the cost of upkeep will go Into theft Insurance. That the automobile theft situation Is even more serious than ever is proven by the fact that automobile Insurance companies hare been assuming only 75 per cent of the risk incurred. And jet Inventors have come forth with many varied devices, more or leS9 effective, that would hinder the motor car thief. States have been considering, and some have passed, laws requiring an abstract of title with the sale of every new and used car. In the busy sections of large cities mounted police keep watch over parked cars. And the federal Dyer law has been directed against Interstate traffic In stolen automobiles. WHAT IS WANTED. What is wanted, however, Is something that can effectively stop the business of automobile stealing. Some system also Is sought that will keep the financially em-

barrassed automobile owner from *‘sellIng” bis car to the insurance company. Insurance underwriters have found that the more popular the automobile the more liable It is to theft, no matter what anti-theft device it may have attached. It is therefore the discovery after theft, rather than prevention that the thief seems to fear. For the less popular car can be more easily recovered. SOLUTION. The solution lies In some sure method of recovering stolen automobiles. Abstra<t of title laws are devised with this in view. In England every motorist has to display his Individual license, which Includes all information about him and his car, In some conspicuous place. It has even been suggested that the owner s photograph accompany the license. Licensing of garage men and used car dealers Is another way suggested for controlling the exchange of automobiles. But protests arise from all sources that might be hit In any way by anti-theft laws. And the problem of curbing the auto thief remains.

PREDICTS GOOD BUSINESS, BUT HIGHER PRICES Writer Sees' Crops Cost Less This Year and Sell for More. COTTON QUOTATION UP Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY RICHARD BPILLANE. PHILADELPHIA, June 21.—Signs point to a good fall trade. At the same time It would not be surprising if there should be a slight Increase In the cost of living In the coming six months. The farm has coma lack. Yields of grains and meats promise to be good. Prices at primary markets appear very low, when compared with those of a few years ago, but they do not furnish a good Index. Even at present prices the agriculturist of the West afid Middle West should have a moderate profit, for his crops thin year have been planted and cultivated at the lowest cost of any In perhaps seven years. Conditions In the South look more promising for the man of the soil than In the North. Cotton at this time last year sold around 12 cents a pound. Now it is around 22. Last year there was a tremendous surplus overhlnging the market. This year the surplus has been reduced so much it Is questionable whether with this year’s yield there will not be an approximation to n shortage before the 1923 crop Is harvested. As with the growers of wheat and corn of the West and Middle West, the cotton farmer has been forced to rigid economies this year, and if he markets bis cotton on the basis of present prices or higher ho will be in fair shape financially. Construction Industries are active. The demand for steel and general commodl ties Is Insistent. Foreign trade is Improving. Despite the coal strike, unemployment figures ere not abnormally high. But for the coal strike and the threat of a railroad strike the situation nationally would be satisfactory, all things considered.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company. ,

TO promote the safety first movement, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has created within its own organization 24 separate and distinct inquisitorial bodies to investigate accidents involving Company motor equipment. These bodies are called “Safety Courts.” The primary purpose of these courts is to reduce the hazard of automobile accidents on the public highway. This is directly in line with the policy of the Company to help the employee to a better understanding of his obligation to his fellow citizens. The Court meets weekly and before it must appear any employee, whether manager or truck driver, who has been involved in an accident during the preceding week. The employee comes into court as defendant with his immediate superior as his attorney. The Chairman of the Safety Council is the judge. Other members of the Council serve as jurors. When the investigation shows that the employee has been guilty of carelessness in observing traffic laws, penalties are fixed and punishment assessed by the jury. The punishment is often as novel as the plan itself. For instance, a truck-driver recently convicted of carelessness was removed from his position and sentenced to work for two weeks in the Company warehouse as a common laborer. The plan is in operation throughout the 11 Middle Western States served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and has been responsible for reducing automobile accidents approximately 50 percent. The spirit which pervades the “Safety Court” is to inspire employees with a sense of their responsibility to the community. As in the case of the Annuity System, which gives the employee a feeling of security regarding his future, and in the case of the Stock Investment Plan to promote the desire to save, the “Safety Court” has as its object the making of better and more responsible citizens who will render continuous and greater service to society. • The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is continually studying methods for improved service through adjusting its organization to the constantly changing needs of the people of the Middle West.
