Anyway, not enough moisture got through to keep the crowds from continuing their festivities.

Groups of active young folks, with a few adults counselors, began the Fall Festival in earnest Thursday afternoon and evening, as they proceed- ed to decorate and fill booths and to bring in their exhibits. Booths were decorated by three 4-H clubs, one woman’s club, one rural school, the Lincoln school and a number of high school departments. Several commercial booths filled the remaining space.

100 years ago September 22, 1922 National news: President vetoes the soldier’s bonus bill Congress failed to provide the money. Ordinary Revenues Would Not Meet Cost.

President Harding returns the soldier’s bonus bid to congress on Tuesday without his approval. He gave as his reasons: 1 – Congress failed to provide ways and means of raising money to pay the bonus.

2 – The bonus would mean increased taxation which is unthinkable at this time.

3 – That the legislation would win out everything thus far accomplished to reduce government expenditures.

4 – That the payment of the bonus without specific provi sion for raising the money is a perversion of public funds.

5 – That it would increase the national debt by one-sixth and the amount would be distributed among less that 5,00,000 of the 111,000,000 people in the country and would probably destroy the nation’s credit.

He also criticizes the credit certificate plan outlined in the bill as one that would eventually prove more or less humiliating to the servicemen.

The President has made the goat in the bonus legislation. He willingly assumed the role to protect some of the senators who voted for it for purely political reasons, knowing full well that the government could not meet the obligation at this time.

“Because I could not make ends meet on the salary of a member of Congress, I quit,” says Mr. Bowers. "I figured out, and found I was no longer getting any returns from my law practice. I had a family growing up, and found it necessary to make more money, so I went back to law, and I am mighty glad of it.”
