LEGION HEADS
BONUS ESTIMATE
MILLIONS LOWER

Washington, Dec. % - Testimony
by Secretary Houston before the
Senate finance committee yesterday
placing the cost of carrying out the
pending adjusted compensation or
soldier bonus bill at s2,300,OO0 .OOv
was characterized by f. w. Gal
braith, national commander of the
American Legion in a statement to-
night as "a cutie fish skirmish to
muddy the waters so that the prin.
ciple involved can be clouded in
lot of figures that mean nothing"
He estimated the maximum amount
the bonus bill would cost the gov
eminent at $1,S7S,S00,000.
Secretary Houstons whole pre-.
sentation of the matter" he assert,
ed, "was misleading and designed to
brighten the country into a repudia-
ton of it's obligations to ex-service
men. The general impression was
conveyed by his testimony that the
passage Of the adjusted compensa.
ton bill would entail the immediate
appropriation of billions of dollars
by the government and seriously
cripple the financial condition of the
Treasury at the present time. The
facts are that appropriations neces-
sary to carry out al features of the
bill except that of cash compensa-
tian would be negligible for this
year and for several years to come
and that appropriations for cash
compensation are not asked until
July. 1921, and are to be spread over
a period of two years"
