PA'D-UP INSURANCE
PART OF BONUS PLAN
Loans Would be Allowed on
Policies Whose Value Would
Increase Annually.

Washington. April 30--Republican
members OF the House Ways and Means
Committee have virtually decided
TO include in their soldier relief legislation
program plan of paid-up insurance. us
value to increase annually by compounded
interest and on which loans could be ob-
tanned from any postofhce.
With this addition cx-servIce men might
elect any one of the FIVE following plans
included in the Republican program:
A cash bonus of 81 % day for each
dav of service; aid in buying farm land,
TO be reclaimed by the Government; aid
in buying city homes; aid IN their educa-
tion; or the insurance. To popuhrize
the last four plans the Republicans pro-
pose to allow sl.75 a day for each day OF
service instead of the Sl.25 cash bonus
as the basis for computing farm and nome
aid loans and the amount OF financial
aid each man might receive IN the form OF
educational training.
The insurance plan, as such. was sald
bv committeeman to be missioner,
but they declared it was the most at
tractive' OF any of the five plans. The
average period of service for World War
veterans was 400 days they said, cxpain-
ing that under the insurance plan the
average veteran could receive paid-up
insurance policy of Sl,S57, payable to
him in cash at the end OF 20 years or nm
mediately to his heirs III event oi death
The loan value of the insurance-de-
noted In the legislation as adjusted
service certificates would not accrue
until the end of the third year the plan
had been in force. and at that tune an
ex-service man,wlth record of lOu GAYS
service, would be entitled TO loan oi SOL .
This would be the cash value OF his Ger
tificate at that time at ) per Get interest
compounded annually.
Similarly. the veteran of 100 days
service would be entitled to pald-up 20
wear endowinent insurance of Si64 with
a cash surrender or loan value OF Sl31
in three wears: the 200-day veteran to
insurance of 1928. with a loan value of
S275; the 3O0-day veteran to insurance
uf 81 .392. with loan value of S4l3; and
the iOO-day veteran to insurance OF S2,32l
with loan value of $3.50.
This plan. IL adouted universally by
The World War veterans, would cost the
government far more than the cash bonus
nf 81 - a day. committeeman said fsti-
mating that 3.590.000 former service
persons will be affected by the bill. com
mittcemen declared that the ultimate
ccst of the insurance nlan, II adopted
by all, would be approximately S6Wn.-

Atlantic City. April 30.-Declarins
that the world is suffering from nothing
more serious than an attack of old-fash

There are too many diamonds and

sium chloride a day, it may at the
same time turn out $500 worth a day

Many By-Produets.
Among the by-products whose COM
'mercia obtainability has been estab-
tished are iodine, common salt, am
'monia, and bleaching carbon. This

from Europe and sold for 20 cents a

from the Summerland plant at Is
cents q pound and appears Mt present

Of Itself and the potash, with good rea-
son to believe that 1t may ultimately
be made to pay the operating cost of
the entire enterprise. 1t has been
definitely established by large-scale
operations that very little Of the nitro
gen OF kelp is lost in the various proc
esses and that 1t can be commercially
recovered as ammonia, thus yielding
another important fertilizer element.
In this process enough combustible
gas Is released greatly to reduce If
not to eliminate fuel consumption In
the plant. A tar is likewise recovered,
and its subproducts. kelp oils and creo.
sote, have been shown to be of value,
respectively. as flotation agents and
disinfectants. Still other valuable BY
products are likely to be recovered.

THE CLOSING DAYS OF THE
GREAT CAMPAIGN.

Before the next issue of the Miner
the great battle that is being waged
for the control of the government will
be over At this time the indications
strongly point to the election of War
rem G. Harding by an unprecedented
majority and to the control of both
houses of congress by increased ma
iorities. The greatest danger with
which republican managers have to
contend is overconfidence on the part
of the people, a feeling of quiet con-
fidence that the election of Harding
is assured and therefore earnest and
continuous efforts in behalf of the re-
publican ticket is unnecessary. This
is a serious mistake, such as has many
times in the past resulted in defeat
when victory seemed won. This apa-
thy due to overconfdence often re-
suits in failure to register and in fail
ure to vote after registering. These
are the dangers which republicans
must guard against during the re-
naming days of the campaign
The republican committee of this
county will of course give close at
tention to the matter of registering
and to getting out the vote, but this is
not enough Every republican wher-
ever he resides should help in this
work. If you know of a republican
who has not registered. make it your
business to see him and induce him
to do so before o'clock next Satur-
day evening, when the registration
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1920-10-28

was made was held last August just
two months ago, and the charge was
made even while the convention was
in session and diligently repeated in
almost every issue of republican pap
ers and some democratic since that
date. Senator Nugent since the al
legged deal was pulled off, has visited
almost every county in the state, and
his silence on the subject is now ex-
planned in the statement just issued
in which he and other distinguished
democrats announce that 1T has come
to our notice" that deal had been
made with the nonpartisan league for
the promotion of the senator's can
didacy for reelection. The only ex-
PLANTATION of this tardy acknowledge
ment and denial is that these real
bourbons of the old school, faithful to
the Wilson administration to the last,
still rely upon the Burleson mail ser
vice for news. The denial came too
late.

practice it, In the first place it must
be conceded that the present republ
can administration has made a record
for efficiency that commends it to
every thoughtful taxpayer in the
county. and the question is therefore
up to republicans as to whether they
will vote to endorse their own ad-
ministration Most of the candidates
are up for reelection and those who
are seeking their first election are
men of high character and possessing
unquestioned qualifications for the
positions they seek. In addition to
this consideration, by supporting the
entire ticket we strengthen the coun
ty republican organization and upon
this in the final analysis must depend
the success of the state and national

books close. If you can not attend to

On election day every republican
should follow the same plan in getting

That action of this kind is neces-
sary may seem strange to many peo-
pie who never fail to register and
vote, and who can not understand
how any one could be so neglectful
regarding the exercise of the highest
privilege of citizenship. But those
who have had experience in the man
agement of campaigns know that
every election there are many who
fail to register and many others who
register fail to vote.
The last appeal of the Miner to
the republicans of this county is to
see that every qualified voter Is reg
istered and having registered, see
that he votes. If that is done the re-
