INSIST FEDERAL AID FOR
VETERANS GO TO CASH FUND
Crrom a staff CORRESPONDENT. }

/ lHTOm q btatf COrFeSpOnuentJ
! LINCOLN, May N.-(Special. 1.-The gov
eminent has paid it's annual donation to
the state for assistance to the soldiers
homes in the care of the aged and sick
veterans. The question has been raised
as to what disposition shall be made of
the amount. which covers several thou
sand dollars. Heretofore the donation has
been placed In the general fund of the
state instead of In the cash fund, where,
In the opinion OF friends OF the two old
soldiers institutions, It ought to go.
So far this year the home at Grand
Island has received. or would have re-
ceived. II the fund had gone directly to
the home. ss,425. while the Milford home
would have received s2.625. Some contend
that as long as the government makes
this donation for the support of the old
soldiers in these homes that the amount
should go direct to the institution cash
fund to be used directly by that institu-
ton instead of into the general fund OF
the state with other funds.
In all probability It would make little
difference in the end. as about as much
is needed anyhow for the support of the
home and should the 500 per inmate of
the home be given directly each year TO
the home the legislature would probably
cut that amount off of the appropriation
and the effect in the end would be the
same. However. It Is evident that II the
cash fund of these institutions had the
funds on hand. inmates of the homes
could receive many little things which
would help them when under the present
plan they may have to go without. For
this reason friends OF the institutions are
insisting that the fund should go direct
10 the institutions.
