Veterans Of Foreign Wars Ad-
VoCate Plan to Abandon
Present Insurance Methods.

Abandonment OF the War Risk In
surance Bureau and the present sys-
tenn of soldiers insurance as a measure
OF economy and the substitution of a
plan that would give every soldier a
paid-up life insurance policy for s., 900
is plan advocated by the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars.
Legislation fostered by this organ
iZation, which embraces a membership
Of nearly a million men, will be intro
duced in Congress soon by Congress-
man Royal G. Johnson.
This plan would result in the saving
OF $4,000, 900 annually to the Govern
ment according to z. H. Hale, chair
man Of the Committee on War Risk
Insurance and Vocational Education
It viii result in a total saving OF
more than four billion dollars, he de-
clares
Dc AWay via Clerks.
Further, according to Mr.. Hale. the
total expenditures OF the Government
under the plan advocated by this or
ganization will be but nine billion
dollars or virtually the same as is
now contemplated under the operation
Of the War Risk Bureau.
Adoption Of the new plan and the
transfer OF the work incident to it
to the Pension Bureau would effect q
great saving in salaries OF employees
now engaged at the War Risk Bu-
reau.
Nine-tenths Of the persons now en-
gagged in this work could be dis
pensed with under this plan Mr.. Hale
declares.
PIan Much Favored.
Capt. Bertram z. Snodgrass. junior
vice commander-in-chief Of the or
ganization and chairman of the leg
islative committee declares that the
plan fostered by the Veterans of For
eign wars is meeting with universal
praise and response.
The encampment OF the organiza-
.tion held recently at Providence. R.
I, adopted resolutions calling for the
adoption Of this plan, the placing Of
vocational education work under the
direction Of the Pension Bureau, and
the awarding of a $1,000 bonus to
all discharged soldiers. Captain
Snodgrass says that members OF Con-
gress who have been approached on
the plan thoroughly indorse it.

INVESTIGATIONS Of these establish

nation. Il was announced today.
While the proprietors only obtain q

OF more or less stationary price, these
same proprietors reap eXorbitant
profit from bread. conee. vegetables
and other products. Comparison Of
menu prices with the prices prevail

startling Information. Il is said.
