WASHINGTON, Nov. 15—President
Coolidge, for the time being, has
adopted a policy of watchful neutral
ity in the open warfare that has again
broken out between Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon and the American
Legion over the soldier bonus bill.
The President has not placed his o.
k. on Mellon’s program for a whole
sale slashing of income taxes and a
rejection of the bonus bill; neither
has he indicated that he would ap
prove the bonus bill, if it is passed
at the coming session of congress.
The President’s attitude will not be
known until the delivery of his mes
sage to Congress, December 4 or 5.
It is reported at the White House
that Secretary Mellon is outspoken in
his opposition to the bonus, bill de
claring that the nation cannot stand
the amount of the bonus added to al
ready large taxes. The American Le
gion on the other hand, declares that
the amount of the bonus is owed to
the United States by various Euro
pean nations and believes an effort
should be made to force payment.
In case the bonus is defeated by
the administration it is certain that
the total strength of the Legion will
be thrown to McAdoo or some other
candidate known to be in favor of it.

... handles fast, holds steady

Note the hammerless, solid
breech. Nothing can get in to
jam that powerful action. Built
for .22 hi-power; .250-3000; .SO
SO; .300; .303.
You can depend on the smooth, sure
action of a Savage. It functions right.
And accuracy—the most important
thing in any rifle. You can’t beat a
Savage for deadly, lasting accuracy.
And it’s light—a Savage high-power
doesn’t carry an extra ounce—but
it’s proportioned and hung to hold as
steady as a rock.
This perfect balance is always the
same. For the Savage magazine is of
the box type—full or empty—its bal
ance is unchanged.
A Savage for every kind of
American game
.22 hi-power. The amazing Imp—
ideal for woodchuck, fox and wolf.
Accurate at long and unknown ranges.
.30-30. The choice of many sea
soned hunters for deer and medium
size game at moderate ranges,
.303. A hard, knockdown hitter
—has dropped deer, bear and caribou
for 20 years.
.250-3000. An all-around rifle.
Terrific speed and accuracy make it
the gun for mountain sheep, goats,
and deer at extreme ranges.
.300. Delivers a crashing blow
that will drop the great Alaskan
brown bear in his tracks. Powerful
enough for any American game.
And the Savage .22s—the Sporter
—the new bolt-action repeating .22
—the gilt-edge accuracy of the finest
target rifle built into a sporting model.
Or the slide-action, Model ’14—every
feature originally and distinctively
Savage—sturdy and accurate.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—Hiram Johnson
formally announced tonight that he is
a candidate for President. He will
seek the nomination on a progressive
Republican platform. Johnson made
his decision known in a statement is
sued after a conference with his po
litical friends at the Drake Hotel.
In making his announcement John
son said in part: “There is a threat
ened disintegration of the Republican
Party, and the party’s difficulties arise
not because of popular government,
but from lack of it. Reaction and pro
gress must fight it out again in the
Republican Party in the coming pres
idential campaign. It is not men, but
their philosophy of government which
obtains at Washington does not fit our
present day needs.”
Mr. Johnson declared that the Uni
ted States must allow Europe to work
out its own salvation. “We have too
much to look after at home to seek
trouble abroad,” he declared. “I am in
favor of allowing the Allied nations
sufficient time to pay their debts to
America, but pay them they must.”
