FINANCING THE FEDERAL BONUS
Tremendous Cost Under Alternative Plans Detailed by
Former Secretary of U. S. Treasury Defartment.
(By A. Piatt Andrew, Mem
ber of Congress from Massachu
setts, (Sixth District,) former As
sistant Secretary United States
Treasury; former Director Unitea
States Mint; former "Professor of
Economics of Harvard.)
Several years ago, in a Harvard ex
amination, the question was asked,
'What is meant by the polarization of
light?" And one of the students, with
unwitting wisdom, replied, "The polar
ization of light, as I understand it, is
very little understood. . witn equal
truth a similar reply might be made
concerning the bonus by many of the
financial writers who are opposing it.
One hears extraordinary statements
about the probable expense involved,
and estimates .varying all the way
from one to fifty or seventy-five bil
lions of dollars. I have received many
circular letters from broking- houses,
professing to explain- the adjusted
compensation bill, and to estimate the
burden which it will place upon the
business of the country, but I have
yet to read one such circular letter.
or to read any financial letter in any
important newspaper of the country
which gives anything but a grossly ex
aggerated statement of the probable
cost involved.
In a recent market letter of Jules
Bache & Company it was stated that
it would place upon the taxpayers of
the country a burden of . one billion
dollars annually; in a finanical article
from the public Ledger which was sent
me the other day, it was stated that
the soldiers' bonus will require
two billions -of dollars initially; and
in the last circular letter issued by the
Irvine National Bank of New York,
one reads that it will divert some three
billion, three hundred millions of dol
lars of tax funds. This seemed Dao
enough, but the Washington Star last
week stated the total cost would not
improbably range somewhere between
fifty billions and seventy-five billion
dollars.
Bills are Compared
What ate the facts?
If the bill were adopted in the forn.
in which it. was introduced in the
House by Mr. Fordney, and in the Sen
ate by Mr. McCumber, it might, in
case all veterans choose cash com
pensation, cost $1,500,000,000 in tne
course of the next three years, ana
that would be all that it would ever
cost. If on the other hand all veterans
were to select as their option the ai
toi-naiivH of naid ud insurance, it
at the end of twenty years, when the
might cost a little over ?o,ooo.uuo,uuo
insurance matures.
Those are the maximum, and mini
mum costs involved in the present
bill, and the actual cost will . depend
upon the choice of the veterans as be
tween the different alternatives. Ac
cording to the estimates made by Sec-
rptarv Mellon, based on tne supposi
tion that half the veterans would take
cash and half insurance, it would cost
about $400,000,000 for each of the first
two years, and very little therearter
until the expiration of the insurance.
ThpRe are indeed formidable sums
but taking the maximum payments of
the next "three years, of $1,5OO,OOO',OO'0
on the assumption of every soiiaer
choosing cash, the total would not
amount to half as much per capita for
our people as the bonus which Canada
paid to her soliders involved for her
population.
Pavment Means Described
It should be noted in passing that
he suggestion of levying special taxes
to meet a special expenditure has
never been raised before in connection
with the adjustment of compensation
fnr nnv other war claimants. When
the Dent Act was passed, which ar
ranged for settling claims of war con
tractors, no particular revenue meas
ure was provided, although the actual
compensation paid under that act
amounted to nearly $3,000,000,000. No
nreiudice was created against tnese
claimants and there was little protest
against them, because they were paia
out of the general-, resoufces of the
. Trfnsnrv. and no definite taxes were
ooaio-nrt for their settlement. .The
m is true of the adjustment of the
compensation of the railroads, amount
ing to $350,000,000 for tne losses in
fun-pa under war administration.
It is true also of the $40,000,000
voted to compensate mine owners for
losses incurred merely in getting
ready to produce minerals, for chem
ical warfare, but without actually pro
ducing them. It is true of the many
millions voted for the relief of Ship
ping Board contractors. If, as has been
suggested, we now incorporate now
)9TPa in the act adiustine the com-
non nation of the veterans, we shall
discriminate In a manner quite with
out precedent against the claims of
those who offered to their country not
property, but their youth and their
jives claims amounting to only a frac
tion of those already met for property.
We shall help to turn what is intena
ed to be, and what ought to be, an
exnression of gratitude, into a source
nr fritioiam and disparagement of
thos name veterans. This has, in
fact, already resulted from the agi
tation of such proposals
Back Pay l Problem
But can these claims for back pay
for the veterans be adjusted without
ruin and disatser to the business in
terests, and without over burdening
the tax payers of the country"
-T nm confident that the revenue
ran h nrovided without further bor
rowing. If the results of the recent
Conference for the Limitation of Arm
aments are anywhere near as substan
tial as we have been led to believe,
the resultant economics in the appro
priations for the Army ana wavy wui
amount to at least $200,000,000 yearly
These are economies that were not
contemplated and taken account of in
v-rt vear's budget. The War Finance
' tjoh ,i,inh. according to present leg
islation, will begin liquidation on July
first next, ha8 many minions oi gov
ernment money which wm be released.
We are continually told ot new
economies being accomplished by the
Budget committee; and that there are
other economics in prospect. But even
if these sources did not exist, merely
the interest already accrued, or which
is annually accruing on the British
debt, alone would be suffHceut -to
meet the soldiers' claims.
I mention Great Britain specially.
because her solvency does not de
pend to the same degree as that of
France and Italy upon reparation from
Germany, and bepause the British Gov
ernment has already begun to reduce
its own domestic debt. Within the past
week, in fact, announcement has been
made that payment of $50,000,000
pounds (over $200,000,000) in interest
to the United States has been arrang
ed for in next year's Birtish budget.
In one or another of these ways,- or
by combining several of these ways,
our veterans can be compensated
I without increased taxation, without
increased loans, and without touching
the principal of the debts which are
owing us. Congress ought, in justice
to the veterans, to pass the Adjusted
Compensation Act- without annexing
special revenue measures, and it not
only ought to do so, but it can do so
without fear of serious embarrassment
to the Treasury.
Duty Held Plain.
There is another aspect of the prob-
lem which merits thoughtful attention.
We can very well admit that the debt
which our Government owes to the
veterans is very like all debts for ser
vices long since rendered. The feel
ing of many of our people toward it
are akin to our individual feelings
toward the bills of lawyers' and doc
tors for services which they may have
performed in the past. We face them
perfunctorily, and with a not unnatur
al desire to find some possible means
of escape.butlike all such obligations
long overdue, this debt, if neglected,
wil lonly grow more heavy with the
lapse of time. If we leave our veterans
with this obligation unsettled, and
with the feeling that the country has
dealt unjustly with them, their rest
lessness may grow not only more in
sistent, but more extensive with the
pasage of . the years. Let those who
selfishly and' shortsightedly oppose
the settlement today take warning. If
this debt is not settled now, In time,
instead of pushing the present claim
for back" pay, the effort may be made
td revive the extravagant, much
abused, and unsatisfactory system of
general service pension, which it has
been the worthy purpose of our War-
Risk Insurance and our Compensa
tion Acts to forestall and avoid. It is
not fair and just, but it will be much
more-economical in. the long run to set
tie the obligation now. We have pro
vided insurance, compensation, hospit
alization, and training for our dis
abled veterans,. We have provided aid
for the dependents of our dead. We
have 'adjusted the compensation of
our war contractors to the tune of $3,
000,000,000 under the Dent Act. We
have adjusted the compensation of,
the railroads to the extent of $500,000.
We have settled the war bills of the
Shipping Board for countless millions.
There remains only one more - war
debt to pay. If we pay it now, I can
not see that the soldiers and sailors
(except those suffering from ailments
incurred during the war) will have
any other claim that ought to be
recognized either now or in the future.
It is to our interest to pay if now, and
as Washington said, one hundred and
forty years ago of the -bonus propos
ed for the soldiers of the Revlution:
"It is a debt of honor which cannot
be canceled until it is fairly discharg
ed." PUBLIC SCHOOL DAY IS
HELD BY WOMAN'S CLUB
Public school day at the Woman's
Club Thursday-afternoon proved one
of the most popular events of the
year. The address by county Super
intendent Brenton Vedder on "Con
solidated Schools" revealed to many
for the first time the vast extent, of
this movement over the entire Unit
ed States. Everywhere the little one
roomed red schoolhouse of early
days is - giving up to up-to-date union
schools with all the advantages of
modern equipment and trained teach
ers. City Superintendent R. W. Kirk
gave a comprehensive view of "The
Public School as a social center," for
training not only in school books but
in morals and citizenship. He gave
credit to the new gymnasium for - a
marked deprease in juvenile delin
quency and that the tests there made
it impossible for a boy to be a cigai
ette smoker, in fact no smoker can
hope to make his grades and gradu
ate, it so weakens and destroys men
tal activity. He spoke In high praise
of the splendid young men ana wo
men now gathered in the Oregon uiy
schools, about 1400 of them at pres
ent. ,,
snncrintendent Kirk was iouoweu
by a splendid violin quartet from the
High school consisting oi
Catherine Davis, Mildred Hull, and
Kathryn Kirk led by Mrs. William
Stone. .
A tfea i-amieat. of the eaeraieu
aovoral netitions were signed
to send to congress, for independent
;t!.,QTiViir for women and for inter
national control of opium and other
narcotics. Also the club put itself
on record as ready for jury duty un

Horizons
By Howard Hilles
My horizon's narrow,
While my neighbor's stretches wide
For I dwell in the valley
He on "the mountainside.
The bounds that bar my vision"
Grow bitter in my cup,
But I may see as far as he
By simply gazing up!
Horizons are unequal
We vainly question, "Why?"
But they bar our vision little
From he all-embracing sky.
My horizon's narrow.
Yours may know no bars.
Rut I may view as well as you
A heaven strewn with stars.
THE WOMAN-CITIZEN
y -S -S S $ S -
With New Eyes.
This is the time of year when the
feminine population is liable to live
cooped up indoors. Here is motfve to
walk' abroad, taking in the air and the
sights: visit your city, with eyes new
ly alive to civic conditions, new ideals
of civic art, new standards for orderly
streets. Go about over your city from
corner to corner seeing what it is like.
If oganized groups will do this,
comparing what they see, much will
be learned about city betterment. The
first step in reform is a survey of con
ditions. Women are born inspectors.
We are used to nosing about the cos
ners f our households. Let us know
our city home and be prepared in the
spring to enter heartily into the cam
paign for city beautifying. To this end
let us snoop everywhere and take
notes.
Compulsory Physical Education
Virginia leads in requiring physical
education in the public schools. There
in a dioio ouyi iovi rv uv viuwfc
work. Teachers are required to have
had a satisfactory course in physical
education. The state will pay to the
loca physical teacher not to exceea
half his salary, the local board pays
the ether half. If it be true, as Hoover
says, that adequately caring for chit
drea of today would advance us three
gemerations in, civilization, it seems
that Virginia is going after this work
about right. Missouri, Kentucky, Miss
issippi and Georgia are following Vir
ginia's lead .
What To Do
For INGROWN TOE-NAILS
These are generally caused by too
tight shoes, which press the nail in
to the toe. 1. Buy better fitting shoes
with room for toes to spread. 2.
Scrape top' of nail thin with piece of
glass or sharp knife or scirrors. 3.
Raise the grown-in point gently and
press wads of cotton under'lt. Renew
this from time to time. 4. To prevent
Ingrown toenails, cut the nails square
across the top arid wear wide enough
soes. . -
More for Less
Satisfaction and tr.e Family Money
Instinctively we delight to get
something for nothing. We accomplish
it when we attain more happiness
at less expense. This is possible in
almost every home by skillful manage
ment. -
Bookkeeping and budget-making are
two first essentials. We must know
where the money goes and how much
it takes to buy necessities. The book
keeping is easy to begin now. A year s
record of accounts will enable you to
adapt your budget to your own fam
ily's peculiar needs, the following
average budget for a family of four
will serve as a guide, and , it also
should be begun at once:
Rent, 20; light, heat, etc., 5;
food. 35: Clothes 15; education
and amusement, 10; miscellaneous
5; savings "10. '
A practical way to handling the
funds is to place each in a separate
labelled envelope every pay day. At
the end of each period, place what
may be left in any envelope in the
miscellaneous one. This is to cover
any draft from any fund, or to allot
to savings.
If one fund is chronically short con-
PROBATE COURT NAMES
ESTATE ADMINISTRATOR
Petition for letters of administra
tion of the estate of Arnold A. Eker
son, who died February 28th, 1922, in
Portland. Oregon, have been filed by
his mother, Mrs. Ellen Ekerson, of i
West Linn. The estate consists of
claims against the United States gov
ernment and the state of Oregon. Ek
erson, who was In the navy during the
world war, was Injured, when he fei.
down a hatchway, causing injuries
that resulted in his death.
L. G. Riggs, of Canby, has been ap
pointed administrator of the estate
of William C. Bunke. who died in that
city on February 27th. The value of
the estate is about $6900. The heirs
are the widow, Ethel Lee Bunke, and
two children, Dorris, aged six years,
and Lorraine, aged one year. Mr.
Bunke was the victim of influenza.
Letters of administration have been
Issued to W. L. Mulvey for the estate
of Virginia May Vorhies. who died
February 23, 1903. The petition was
made by Oscar Vorhies, son of the
deceased. The value of the estate is
$600. and the heirs are three sons,
Oscar, Elmer and Ernest Vorhies.
letters of administration have been
issued to Grant B- Dtonick for the
sider which other fund may be re -
duced to cover tne discrepancy. Talk
the matter over freely in the family,
as this will insure co-operation, with
out which the plan will be a failure,
and will bring out helpful suggestions,
and ake each more cheerful in en-
during necessary sacrifices. It is the
right of tne iamiiy as a whole to de
cide what shall be the family stand
ards, and which items they shall value
most." ; ,
The following suggestions may help
curb expenses:
1. In -rent, demand cleanliness, air,
light and wholesome surroundings but
not artiatocracy nor nearness to the
business quarter.
2. Watch the use of light and heat
Regulate carefuly stoves and furnace.
3. Use staple foods and in season.
By skillful cooking and variety in
serving, the inexpensive stand-bys
may be made to satisfy the palate as
wellas provide ample nourishment.
4. Plan menus ahead, cooking sev
eral dishes at one time. Make or buy
a fireless or steam pressure cooker.
Study cookery and dietetics.
5. Supply at least a pint of milk
for each child and half pint for each
adult dally. Butter and sugar are need
ed by the children. Home-made can
dies are cheaper. Fresh vegetables
and fruits must be a part of each day's
menu, but economy may be used in
their selection; cabbage and carrots
instead of lettuce;- home canned fruits

"Who was the king at that time-"
The history question read.
At first Johnny was puzzled,
And scratched his aching head;
But suddenly he thought it out
And calmly he replied,
"At that time there sat on the throne
King Louis, the Cross eyed."
"Why, Johnnie," said the teacher,
"Whatever, under heaven. . ."
"It's right here in the book, Ma'am.'
And he showed hei- "Louis XI."

Women In Industry.
The U. S. Women's Bureau, of
which Miss Mary . Anderson is the
chief, reports that more than twelve
million women are engaged in indus
try in the United States. A study o?
their conidtions and needs is being
made by the Bureau and women every
where are awakening to a keen inter
est in the subject. It is regretable
that women are dividing into two dis
tinct groups ,each working to extend
legislation which is antagonistic. One
group would annul all distinctions be
tween the sexes In industry giving
to each equal wage, hours, conditions,
etc. - The other group would build up
protectional laws to safeguard women
in many respects. The former group
claims that this causes discrimination
and hinders woman's advancement.
Miss Anderson urges all women to
study the situation and arrive at a
settlement of this conflict of opinion
as it handicaps efforts being made to
help women and leads to confusion.

THROWN OUT OF COURT
PORTLAND, March 9. A recent
decision by Presiding Circuit Judge
Tueker to the effect that a divorce
granted outside the county in which
at least one of the parties resides is
illegal was applied by him yesterday
when he threw out of court the di
vorce suit of M. R. Cooper against
Maude E. cooper in the course of de
fault hearings.
Cooper had recited statutory
grounds for a divorce when Judge
Tucker interrupted him to ask where
he and his wife had resided. When
Cooper replied "Oregon City," the
judge called the plaintiffs attention
to the fact that evasion of publicity
and inconvenience by transferring
such a case outside a county wheie
both parties lived was illegal.
