The Soldier and the Bonus

turned soldiers, with what Australia
New England and Canada, have done
for their bOys,-must admit, that at
least, ours have been very shabbily
treated. All sorts of relief measures
have been introduced, but like con
gressional investigation" they have
amounted to nothing, except of course
lpyrotechic barrages of hot air. But like
Banquas' ghost this bonus question
"would not down.. Hence but very
recently Congress came out flat footed
and declared that it was impossible to
grant this bonus-it would take a
billion and half dollars at least to do
sO-it would disturb business condi'
tiOns-it would depriciate outstanding
bonds it would burden the people
etc. etc. But a horrible hair rails.
ing Jolt awaited these dignified con-
servatOrs of the public welfare. 1t was
but few days after Congress had de-
cided to allow the boys to go bare
footed this summer,-untill cute little
billetdoux came drifting frem the
West.
Nervous senators and perturbed re.
presentatives,-r some of these
notes on the floor of Congress-they
were all of the same import-one from
a govenor--saying in substance!
"Since Congress has definately re-
jected the soldiers bonus, the returned
service men of the West are joining
the l. W. W. by thousands.
What,'l Hells fire and Blue Blazes!!!
The hot air balons were corked and
the Ways and Means Committee got
busy,-and as said-by tho time you
see this most probably a bill will have
been reported out by this Committee.
Then the usual political jugglery and
sleight of hand work by the two grea,
Bunco gangs for political effect in the
coming election.
But oh! my fellow workers there is
n mournful and tragic side to this!
What will the poor buzzards, and
vampires of capitalism do,-secing that
they are deprived of their lawful prey,
and their constitutional" graft and
pillage9 And then this bonus will not
rest on bond issue,-it will be paid,
it sccms,-from an increased "luxury
tax" Now watch the pipe smokers and
the kid ice cream cone eaters get it
in the neck again! Could we draw
on the thirty "thousand millionaires "
mentioned by the Brazilian official TO
help us out9 We wot not.
Let us now ask hypothetical
question DO you think that if this
bonus measure had been swung,-say
as the 9th Loan, and it were so fixed
that the air craft gang-the Hog Island
gang-and in fact all the predatory
gangs-would get their avariciouS claws
on the greater bulk of lido you not
think such a measure would have been
passed long ago9 SO do we.

Friends Advice Seems Doubtful,

Question - On the advice of severa
friends recently bought 200 shares of At
lantic Petroleum and 200 shares Of Ryan
Petroleum, the stock of Atlantic costing 3A
dollars share and Ryan AZ. realize
that these are not what you would call gilt
edge securities. but do you not think that
the futures of these two companies warrant
buying these shares outright and holdin.-
them rs an investment? My brother would
like to know about stock called Josevip
Kcnnecott, which he bought in 1916 and
which is never mentioned in the financial
columns--J. H. u.
Answer - Both Atlantic Petroleum
and Ryan Petroleum are we'll managed
companies showing considerable ex
pansion. We do not know what tn
future Of the oil industry is, but tn
prices for oil are very high, and W.
doubt the ability Of some companies
to operate successfully in the event

quotations. The stocks you mention
are too speculative to warrant an opin
ion as to their course in the market
We are informed that the Josevip
