which they have been induced to file I'M
der the pretense that they were entitled to
additional bounty under the alleged new
laws. They are persuaded in this way to
nav an advance fee of from $40 to $50 TO
ATTORNEYS to prosecute their claims. The
claims are rejected, of course, and the
claimants never hear of it until they APP
ply to the Department. The attorneys
nav no attention to the cases after receiv-
ing the advance. as they know they are
without merit. Soldiers are also induced
to send their discharge papers to these
ATTORNEYS who refuse to return them in
the hope that they may be of benefit to
them in the event Of legislation in the fu-
ture similar D the terms proposed by the
EQUALIZATION Bounty Act. Nearly all
bounties payable under the existing laws
have already been paid. The Second Au-
ditor suggests, as one method of prevent
ing these frauds, that the claimants who
suppose they are entitled to additional
bounty write directly TO his Office for in
formation on the subject.
