GETTING THE BONUS OVER ? t1 CongresfBnen ere up a tree- Steadi- p and surely pressure is being a brought to bear which smokes them h out, one by one, into the open Some 2 have come out . fearlessly and given n reasons, as they see them, for oppos- £ ing the soldiers' bonus; others, just 1 as boldly, are advocating thai the ex- f serviceman gets some recognition r | his time and annoyance- 3 | The charges off one side paint the b former soldier as little better than a n I bum with a mentality of k six-year- a • old child, or else try to shame htm out of the bonus with patter of 9 "higher motives" than financial remuneration. Some of the opposition 6 a bit fairer and leave the flowers 9 and brick bats out of 'it and try to a show by figures that it can't be done- n Sixteen ways are said to have been advanced for raising the bonus. ^ advocate tax on chewing gum, ^ etc., others bond issues. The main { trouble seems to be that all the many . ways lead to the same source for ul- ^ timate payment— the taxpayer. There ^ is no getting away from that. Mr- f Common People always pays the { freight- V. But the taxpayer also pays for the f expenditures for the "pork barrel," ( and anything else which the Government decides needs paying for, ». that discovery is nothing new or startling. The majority of congressmen fav- J or taking the money out of the inter- 4 est payments, or the inrtalrrtents on - principal of the foreign debts be- 1 cause it will take a longer time and 4 will be after the maturity of the : Bonds- 4 Clever talking congressmen are < talking over time but the issue re- < mains unclouded- Pour million former service men are watching every ' move and the major part of the 1 Legions are "actively waiting " True 1 the American Legion cannot be any- ' thing but non-partisan, cannot enter ' ) politics but the members can watch 1 ; how- their represent] ves vote, and i they bear watching. That may be 1 the reason some of the Honorable® are wiggling about like a fly on a ' pin. That watchful waiting group 1 also includes a few million relatives < of "the former soldier — once the 1 Heroes, but now the "returned soldier 1 element." We will not go into the arguments i 1 and con on the bonus, but when ! we consider what Canada and Aus- • tralia have already <k)ne for their ' soldiers, and considering the fact that ■ the United States admits being the richest country on earth, it appears that something has been overlooked. Perhaps those advocates of the bonus w-ho have pointed out the fact ' j that someone in or about Washing|ton should have had the foresight to prepare for the return of the soldier ! before he landed and was dicharged, has hit <the nail on the head. Or perhaps those who suggest that had the same watch dogs of the country's treasury curbed the reckless orgy of useless spending during the war time, held down the huge sums wasted by contractors on the infamous "cost plus ten per cent" basis, and turned some of the troughs upside down

j where the grafters had snouts and c | feet firmly place,! — had they done ' I those things, perhaps the war debt I would have been reduced by a few f jodd cents ami the present bonus < would not be such a strain on the ^ 'Treasury Department, j Clever. Senator Pepper, of Pennsyl- ' ;vania, recently stated among other 1 things that has ruffled the feathers I of the soldiers, that: — < "Wartime profits were made by those w-ho hail capital to invest"; 4 " | "This measure proposes a waste of j public money"; "1 am aware of all ' that can be said about lost chances 4 jto earn wartime wages ait home and 1 i lost opportunities to make wartime ' I profits"; "This line of argument is i not convincing." ' Neither is Senator Pepper's line of patter convincing, but his arguments 1 are such easy targets that it "would 1 be 0 shame to pick on him. t Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, of ' Nebraska, said in Philadelphia Men- 1 day, that he would support -the Bonus 4 Bill. 1 He said th#i he viewed it, not as f a matter of charity, but as justice- ' He continued, "The bonus will proba- I bly involve extra taction, but I 1 shall oppose any form of taxation 1 ■ which involves a tax on consump- 5 I tion- I voted for the draft law which 1 gave the government the power to 4 I take any young man to war. Every t one of these men was taken from in- I I dustry or agriculture or some other t - occupation and paid $80 a month and v board and clothes- Those who were 1 left behind were given added oppor- f tunitiee. The country is under mor- t ai obligation to equalize this. It is t only justice." ' Asked if he thought the men would I waste the money, the Senator stated I that they would not now, although 1

probably would have done so , years ago. And the last Senator quoted is probably right- The soldier might and many of them probably would ' have wasted -their bonus two years ago. Eut at the present time the major part have places to put all 1 they get and to a good advantage ' have been long enough away from the army and the war to have j recognized the need of thrift and a'- 1 to find out what the hurrahs and < bands amounted to when they . marched away and marched home 1 again. Those pats on the bade wdn't buv|j loaf of bread nor a roof fortWir , heads and the boys are awakened to , the facts of the case- And yet how , strangely interested some folks are , about die waste the ( service man might pile up. No one seemed to la ■ ment the fact when the stay-at-homes j bought fifteen dollar silk shirts and ] $1,500 motor oars- When a man , or gets a few hundred dollars for his services he usually feds that . it's nobody's business what he does with the money so long as he keeps within the laws of the country. That makes it all the more 6trange that folks should worry so much over the fact that the soldier might buy a with his bonus money instead of a house or a farm. BRIGHTS BILL PLEASES Introduction of a bill in the New Legislature on Monday night, sponsored by Senator Bright, of Cape May county, and providing for en ap propriation of $25,000 .toward the construction of a State building at the Sesqui -Centennial, is the first substantial recognition of plans for that celebration outside the limits of our own Commonwealth. Coming from a sister State which nearest the site of the proposed . Flair, and is, therefore, in in- , timate touch witjrthejwtoceedings, it . is an indication (MWmfidence in the ■ undertaking which should go far to , the committee in charge, and I is of value also in setting an exam- , pie to other States of the Union. Nor is the extent of this encouragel ment to be measured by the size of 1 the initial appropriation; the time is 1 early as yet for the definite planning i of State structures, and four annual ■ sessions of the Assembly which will intervene before the opening of the j great exposition will afford ample op1 portunity for the grant of additional . funds- It is to be taken, rather, as r an earnest of New Jersey's interert > in the Sesqui-Sentennial, that she . can be depended upon to do her full i share in making the event a success, and her record in 3876, when the . Legislature subscribed for $100,000 in t stock of the Centennial Commission, . and provided $20,000 for a building, ) in addition to $4,000 for educational r purposes, is simple evidence that the , pledge will be made good. — Bulletin.
