RUSSELL M R
BONUS BILL IS
COS!
3
Senator McCumber Presents
. Service Men's Measure at
Last Payments Spread
Over 43 Years Hope to
Avoid Additional Taxation
WASHINGTON, June 8. The boI
dies' bonus bill was formally present
ed today In the senate by Chairman
McCumber of the finance committee
with an accompanying report placing
tho probable cost to tho federal gov
ernment at $3,815,659,481, spread over!
a period of 43 years from next January
1. This is approximately $250,000,000
less than the estimate under the house
bill, which was $4,098,7)9,350, payable
over 20 years.
Tho senate bill estimate was pre
pared by treasury experts and is based
on the theory that 75 per cent of the
4,458,199 veterans who would be elig
ible for compensation would elect the
adjusted service certificate option;
22 per cent farm, home and land
settlement aid and 2! per cent voca
tlonal training. . Should all .of the vet
erans Belect the certificate plan, the
total cost would be $4,486,545,9,75.
With reference to financing'the leg
islation, Chairman McCumber's report
said it was hoped that the reduction in
governmental' expenditures plus the
payment of interest on the refunded
foreign obligation's would be sufficient
to obviate the imposition of additional
taxation. ','' .' I
"If it does become necessary to im
pose additional taxes," the report con
tinued, "it is believed we can better
determine the amount of the necessary
levy and the methods of distributing
such burdens for the future nt a later
date-when the future condition of the
treasury will bo more accurately estab
lished." Reduce Cash Payments
Senator McCumber explained that
an attempt had been mado to reduce
to a minimum actual cash payments
under the bill during the next three
years while tho treasury is engaged in
refunding the nearly seven billions of
dollars of maturing government obliga
tions. The estimated cost of the bonus
for the three years was $242,000,000.
' After its presentation to the senate
the bonus bill went to the calendar,
where it will remain until there is an
agreement to call it up. Senator Mc
Cumber and some other proponents de
sire early action, but several republi
can leaders are opposed to sidetrack
ing the tariff bill, as they expect the
fight over the bonus to consume at
least a month and perhaps six weeks.
This measure differs somewhat from
the house hi", and very widely from
tile bonus bill that was reported to the
senate last year and later sent back
to the flnanco committee rft the re
quest of President Harding. The most
important change from the .original
measure Is the elimination of the cash
bonus and reclamation features. '
Five Plans Offered
As now drafted the legislation would
give each veteran tho right to select
any one of the following plans:
Adjusted service pay, but only if his
adjusted service credit did not exceed
$50.
Adjusted service certificate with
bank and government loan provisions.
Vocational training aid.
Farm and home aid.
Land settlement aid.
The estimated cost for each of these
plans is $16,000,000 for the cash pay
ments; $3,364,900 for the adjusted ser
vice certificates, $412,425,000 for farm,
home and land settlement aid, ami
$52,325,000 for vocational training. The-
expenses under vocational training
and the cash bonus would end in 1915
under this estimate and those for farm
home and land settlement aid in 1929.
lixpenses under the' certificate plan
would continue to 1966, with a total of
$655,991,670 to 1943, when the certifi
cates would begin to fall due.
Explaining the bill, Chairman Mc
Cumber said Jn his report that tin
amount of tho adjusted service credit
would be at the rate of $1 a day for
domestic service and $1.25 for foreign
service, less the $60 bonus paid when
the veterans were discharged from the
service. In no event, however, could
the total exceed $500 in the case of
tliosi who had only domestic service
and $625 for those who had both do
mestic and foreign service. '
Certificate Pl,in
The adjusted service certificates,
payable at the end of 20 years from
the date of issue or upon death, would
have a face value of 3.015 times the
total amount of the adjusted service
credit. Until January 1. 1926, banks
would be authorized to loan to tho
veterans an amount equal to GO per
cent of tho adjusted service credit,
plus interest at the rate of 4Vj per cent
compounded annually from the dnte of
