WHAT TH E COUNTRY HAS DONE
EOR TH E V ri'E R A N
Every now and then some congressm an arises
to rem ind the country about the liberal insurance
being given the ex-service men of the world war.
To the casual reader, not a veteran, it would
seem th a t the ex-soldier has his hand out and it
is being tilled with a handsom e insurance policy.
Not so, the veteran is paying a prem ium on
his insurance the sam e way as if he held his
policy in a private com pany.
At one tim e more th an two million veterans
held these w ar risk policies for which they paid
in about $7 a m onth on a $10,000 policy. Today
about 000,000 hold them , o r in o th er words,
1,400,000 have dropped their policies and for
feited the reserve tund built up in the y e a r or
more they were in service. Since the w ar rate s
have been raised constantly and for limited poli
cies the veteran pays $1 per m onth per thousand
and $3 or $4 on son.« of the endow m ent form s.
But the least any veteran, who held the limited
straight life policies, could have paid to his gov
ernm ent since the w ar on $10,000 is $1,400. This
is the money that com prises the hugh tru st fund
that has been built u p - it's the v eteran s’ m oney
and not the g o v e rn m e n ts but the governm ent
uses it as collateral on the adjusted service certi
ficates for all veterans and then congressm en
boast about the large sum s they are setting aside.
The country has done fairly well by the dis
abled v eteran —probably nearly a s m uch as
hum anly possible, th a n k s to the w atch dog policy
of the Am erican Legion. . But considering the
fact th at the w ar risk policies becom e preferred
risk on young men as soon as w ar ended it is
doubtful w hether had m anagem ent or short
prem ium s have caused th e governm ent to have
to contribute to w ar risk insurance funds. T aking
it all in all the governm ent has done nothing for
the able bodied ex-service men, and for the m ost
part they a re asking nothing th a t is not due
them in a m onetary way. But they do ask th a t
congressm en quit m aking the country as a w hole
believe th a t they are being pensioned or are
receiving doles out of th e public treasury.
