CITY OFFICIAL PAPER NO. 9197 E TODAY IN BOTH INDEMNITY PLAN Ten Thousand Insurance for Each Soldier at $8 Per An num Premium; Generous Compensation Given Wives of Soldier Dead; Additional Pay for Children. LAW IF PASSED WILL COST GOVERNMENT 556 MILLION ! WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. Bearing 'the President's approval and Hecre ; tary McAdoo's plea that it pass the Uong expected war compensation, in demnity and insurance bill was intro duced in both houses of congress. It gives insurance to every fighter and nurse for eight dollars annually per thousand dollars of insurance up to $10,000 as an outstanding feature. The bill is a substitute pension sys tem, it will cost th government for the first two years 55s million. It provides fifteen dollars for each en listed man's monthly pay and $33 is assigned to his wife. The govern ment, if the soldier has two children, gives the wife $32.50 additional. Five collars additional la allotted to each additional child. The bill provides compensation for I total or part disability, t Ten thousand dollar wwrth of in INSORANC surance at $&0 annually as compared with rates of about )32 annually for $10,000 for a man of 27 years pos sible because the government does not require the high prices salesmen and office force. If a man, failing to take insurance is killed, the government presumes he applied for $5000 policy and pay's the widow or estate that amount. The bill provides that a man without de pendents who doesn't allot half his pay may be compelled to deposit half pay with the government at four per- . cent annually. If total disability re sults from an injury or disease, his compensation runs from $40 to $75 monthly, for enlisted men, up to $200 for higher officers. If a man lost both legs or both arms he would receive $40 monthly, if he needed a nurse, $20 more. If he has a dependent mother $10 more, if mar ried later would get $13 more and $10 additional for each child. I When a man dies, his funeral ex penses are paid and the insurance paifl to surviving relatives. Soldier insurance Is non-assignable and free from creditors claims.
