STATE BONUS
TO BE ASKED
Soldiers Suggesting Iowa Legislature
Should Take Some Recognition
e ...~r... of Their Services inr'
...... e War, st. r,.,3 q

DAVENPORT, April 16 - A state
bonus for all ex-servfce men will be
asked of the Iowa legislature next
January it was decided Yesterday at
meeting of American Legion post
heads in Des Moines.
The application will be framed by
the legislative committee of Argonne
post of Des Moines of which Captain
Ray Mozambique, formerly division
intelligence officer of the 34th divis.
ion, is chairman. Mozambique is
well known to hundeds of Davenport
men who were members of the 34th
division. 4.
This word was brought back from
Des Moines by Adjutant Ralph Ian
caster of Davenport post No. 26, who
represented the 1900 Scott county leg
ion men at the state conference.
Iowa has never given her soldiers
a bonus although Other states voted
state pay for border service and a
state bonus for world war veterans.
The plea of the service men of the
state for some form of adjusted COM
pensation was turned down by the
present administration which refused
to call special session of the legis-
lature to consider the matter
That the present legion plan will
have the backing of the sevrice men
throughout the state was evident from
the sentiment expressed at this weeks
of legion executives in
Des Moines.
Cities represented included Daven-
port, Des Moines, Dubuque, Mason
City, Marshaltown, Ottumwa, Fort
Dodge and Sioux City. Large coun-
try districts surrounding these cities
are represented in the membership of
he big city posts.
The state convention of Iowa legion
will be held two weeks before the
rational convention, which is dated
or September 2728.
