The Soldier Bonus.

(St. Adams Messenger.)
1t is very evident that there is
distinct split among the Vermont mem
bers of the American Legion on the
question of bonus of $50 a month to
the veterans of the great war. This
same condition holds true all over the
country 1t is very likely to become q
political issue. This is much to be re-
GREETED. The Messenger is not in favor
of this type of bonus because it answers
no good purpose. 1t would be the scat
tering of wealth in a useless way. 1t
would put a great burden on the coun-
try which, experts warn US, would be
very detrimental. The financial results
that might come from it very likely
would undo any and every good to the
recipient himself. 1t is. after all, a
matter that does not have to be hur-
| RED There is no reason why the com
| try should be stampeded into hasty
and ill-considered action. A plan can
be devised that will do justice to the
veteran in a sensible way and without
menacing the financial stability of the
country. The thoughtful members OF
| the Legion are content to wait for this

WEDNESDAY, MARCH II, 1920.
THE BONUS SYSTEM.

The question of what to do for the
former service men increases in ser
iousness. There is a feeling through
out the country that they should be
literally and justly treated but also
fear of the pension system that OBJ
tanned after former wars. At the out
break of the war there was an effort
to avoid this by providing a system of
life insurance for every enlisted man
at low cost to bring him some financial
reward. 1t is not proving a success be-
cause so many of the former soldiers
are unwilling to pay the small premi-
ums required 1t is also deferred
benefit and some of the former soldiers
want something right now.
This has led to the demand for a
bonus of a certain sum for every month
man was in the service. There is an
element of equality in this proposition
as it would provide a financial reward
for all There is also an element of
inequality because it provides no in
creased reward for the men who suf-
fered serious injury. 1t does not seem
| quite fair to pay a man who was only
called to a military camp the same bon
US that a man who has lost an arm or
leg or been completely disabled receives
This uniform bonus might be very Ii.
beral for one but it would be entirely
inadequate for the other.
These facts strengthen the position
| taken by Brattleboro post against q
| bonus. Wouldn't it be more Just t.
give immediate aid to all disabled me1
and wait until some more satisfactor,
method can be devised for dealing will
the men who have returned to thei
labors with physical ability and earn
ing power unimpaired? The New Yorl
Times says only a minority of the A
meriean Legion men favor the casI
bonus. If that be true it would seen
unwise to ignore the wishes and judg
ment of the majority.
The conclusion of the Times seem
fair and sensible 1t says:
1t will never be possible for tn
American people to prove a gratitud
1 which is in the heart by paying none
into the treasury to be divided anon
their saviors. 1t is clear that the Anne
lean Legion is not committed to til
bonus plan, and among service men e,
erywhere there is thoughtful minorit
4 opposed. 1t is one of the unsettle
questions before the people, and
should be settled right; that is to sa
wisdom honesty, moral courage shou
be brought to the consideration of

According to our state fire marshal
lightning was the cause of 400 fires in
Vermont the past year He also states
that matches and smoking were re
sponsible for 155, which seems con-
siderable destruction to credit to these
causes. No one has yet found way
to control lightning bolts and it seems
nearly as difficult to control what is
