COMPROMISE PLAN
IN BONUS TANGLE
SERVICE MEN ENTITLED TO S6O
OR LESS WILL GET CASH
BONUS PAYMENT
CERTIFICATES FOR OTHERS
Men Will Receive At $1 Daily Rate
For Domestic Service And
$1.25 Oversea*
Washington. —A compromise sol
diers- bonus plan under which the
cash feature would he eliminated
where the former service men would
be entitled to more than SSO adjusted
service pay was agreed upon tenta
tively, but unanimously, by a special
subcommittee of the republican mem
bers of the house ways and means
committee.
In the nature of a substitute, for
the discarded cash feature there would
be added to the adjusted service cer
tificate title a provision which would
enable the men selecting the certifi
cate option to obtain Immediately
from banks a loan equal to one-half
of the adjusted service pay to which
they would be entitled on the basis
of $1 a day for domestic service and
$1.25 a day for overseas service.
In announcing the compromise j
agreement, Chairman Kordney said it |
probably would be a week before all I
details of the loan provisions would j
be worked out and the original bill 1
amended to conform to it. He ex
pressed the opinion that the plan
would be so well received by house
members generally that it would be
unnecessary to submit the new hill
to a party conference, thus speeding
up the time of its submission to the
house.

' WOULD REORGANIZE
J I
U.S. NAVY RESERVE
_—
TENTATIVE BILL IS FORWARDED
RESERVE ASSOCIATION BY
SECRETARY DENBY
ENLISTMENTS FOUR YEARS
Bill Would Abolish All Existing Naval
Or Marine Corps
Reserves
Washington.—Complete reorganiza I
tion of the naval reserve is proposed
in a tentative bill prepared by the
navy department and forwarded tc
officials of the naval reserve associa
tlon by Secretary Denby for comment
before It Is presented to congress.
Included in the proposed act is the
provision for a merchant marine re
serve section and for certain mer
chant ships to fly a reserve emblem.
The bill would abolish all existing
naval or marine corps reserve and es
tablish a naval reserve as a "compo- J
nent part’’ of the navy, consisting oi
three classes, the fleet reserve, the
merchant marine naval reserve and
the volunteer naval reserve. A sepa
rate section provides for reorganiza
tion of the present marine corps re
serve in conformity with the new
plan. It would have two classes cor
responding to the fleet reserve anl
the volunteer reserve of the naval e»
tablishment.
All present members of the various
classes of naval reservists, both of
ficers and men, and the naval militia
would be brought into the new sys
tem, officers not to be above the rank
of lieutenant-commander except for
"a small percentage” in the rank ot
commander of captain, “for the re
cruiting, organization, administration,
training, inspection and mobilization
of (he naval reserve.’’ Enlistments
in the reserve w r ould be for four year 3
while officers would hold their com
missions "during the pleasure of tha
president.’’
W’liile on active duty, except train
ing, they would receive the pay and
allowances of their rank or grade in
the regular service and a SIOO cloth- j
ing gratuity would go to each officer !
when commissioned in the fleet re- j
seve, with an additional SSO allow
ance for each succeeding your years
of service. In time of war every re
serve officer would receive $l5O for
uniforms.
Fleet reserve officers below the rank
of Ueutenan-commander and enlisted
men attached to a division would re
ceive one-thirtieth of the monthly base
pay of their rank of rating for not
more than five drills or equivalent
training a month. Those not attach- '
ed to such organized divisions would
receive four-thirtieths of their base !
pay for “satisfactory performance" oi
duties assigned to them. Division
commanders would receive $240 a year |
in addition to the prescribed training |
Pay.
To fill up the fleet reserve, author- '
ity would he given to require a four
year fleet reserve enollment as a part
and extension of each man enlisting j
in the regular navy, assignment to
the reserve to be made unless the
the sailor re-enlisted. No active duty
j without their consent would be re
j quired of men in the fleet reserve
I and they would receive $25 a year.
Officers and men of the merchant
! marine reserve, not on active duty
with the navy would receive a month’s
base pay a year for performance oi
appropriate duties and would be trans- !
ferred to the volunteer reserve or dls
! charged within a year after they
ceased to follow the sea. Officers
would be eligible to honorary retire
| ment without pay at 64 years of age.

RULING IN WISCONSIN CASE
i
Decision Establishes Supremacy Os 1
C. C. In Regulating Matters
Pertaining To Railroads
Washington.—The supremacy ol
the interstate commerce commission
j over state utilities commissions and
; similar state bodies in matters per j
taining to the regulation of railroads
has been established by the decision
of the United States Supreme court
in the Wisconsin rate case.
The court, in an unanimous decision
| handed down recently, declared that
, states cannot establish freight or pas
j senger rates which interfere with in
! terstate commerce, and cannot estab
lish rates within a state which are
discriminatory.
The spirit of the decision is con
tained in the declaration that "com
merce is a unit and does not stop
at state lines.”
The decision upholds the vital sea- !
ture of the transportation act of 1920, 1
which provided broader federal control
of carriers than heretofore had been
attempted. It greatly curtails powers
which had been claimed by the state
regulatory bodies, validates rates with
in states which had been ordered into
effect by the commission, and prob
ably precludes action by the states to
fix passenger fares an in pre-war days
when the two-cent fare was generally
mandatory.
A long-disputed problem is settled,
because there has been conflict for
years as to just what rights were
exercised by the federal government
as opposed to the states. The state
of Wisconsin was joined in its suit by
42 other states, while the contentions j
of the government before the court !
were supported by the largest car- j
riers.
When the interstate commerce com- ;
mission ordered higher rates into es- j
feet under the act of 1920, Wisconsin
adhered to rates established by the [
state. The commission, after an in
! vestigation, ordered rates within Wis
consin to be increased in amounts cor
responding to the general increase.
The commission in its investigation
found “undue unreasonable and un
just discrimination against persons
traveling in interstate commerce and
against intertsate commerce as a
whole.”
But the state obtained an injunc
| tion in district federal court, from
which appeal was taken to the high
, tribunal.

Achy After
Every Cold?
Do You Have Constant Backache? Feel Old and
Lame and Suffer Sharp, Rheumatic Pains ?
Then Look to Your Kidneys!
F)OES every cold, chill or attack of grip leave you
worn-out and utterly miserable? Do you feel old
and lame, stiff and rheumatic? Does your back ache
with a dull, unceasing throb, until it seems you just
can’t stand it any longer?
Then look to your kidneys! Grip, colds and chills
are mighty hard on the kidneys. They fill the blood
with poisons and impurities that the kidneys must
filter off. The kidneys weaken under this rush of new
work; become congested and inflamed.
It’s little wonder, then, that every cold leaves you
with torturing backache, rheumatic pains, headaches,
dizziness and annoying bladder irregularities.
But don’t worry! Simply realize that your kidneys are over
worked at such times and need assistance. Get a box of Doan’s
Kidney Pills and give your weakened kidneys the help they need.
Assist them, also, by drinking pure water-freely, eating lightly
and getting plenty of fresh air and rest. Doan’s Kidney Pills
have helped thousands and should help you. Ask your neighborJ
