"The soldier bonus was the most far-sighted bu.- ness move ever tak en by the people of Oregon. After having inquired into the matter among the ex-service men and busi nessmen of half u dozen Willamette valley towns, as well as at home, I am fully convinced of the fact,” de clared Rev. William S. Gilbert. Rev. 1 Gilbert was commander of the Amer ican Legion in Oregon when the bon us bill it sponsored was approved, i "In a time of business depression Oregon is relieving tile stringency by putting into circulation $30,000,- 000, most of which will ultimately be paid back into the state, with in terest. In this time of shortage, Ore-1 gon is helping those who are feeling the stringency most, those men who.

This I has been paid in sums averaging i about $250. In all the cities where I have been I have only heard o f ' one case where a veteran used his bonus money in what might be called an extravagant way. That man took a portion of his bonus for a trip east to visit his mother, whom lie had not seen for more than 20 years.” ♦ the chaplain went on. “ In almost every case, the men are using the money they receive from ihe state to pay off debiB many of which they incurred upon their return from service. Several mil lion dollars placed in circulation in this way appears to be the best sort of business at this time. W E N O W H A V E A KEY- " I have utterly failed to learn of any case in which the bonus money C U T T IN G M A C H IN E A N D was squandered on a spree or used in a spendthrift way, as was pre dicted by those who opposed any C O M P L E T E STOCK KEY compen-atlon for the ex-service men which would place c»sh in their BLANKS.

Prop erty valued at $1.000 is required be fore any portion of the loan can be granted. However, thousands of the men are taking the loan, with the result that Oregon will certainly see a remarkable boom in building be fore long," said Rev.
