Ex-Service Men Given No Pref

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
All this talk about ex-service men
receiving preference in the Govern
ment department is "hot air" 1t is
true many have been appointed, but
in most cases, to some unimportant
job and at a small salary, with q
squad of civilians in the front ranks,
If it is the intention to give the
ex-service man preference, appoint
him on his merits and give him
earned promotions. In no case should
a department be weakened, but let
the chiefs use their brains also.

He Suggests Tax on War Profit.
to Paw Bonus.

To the Editor of THE TIMES;
In reply to your editorial about the
newspaper controlled by j. =. Nor
gan weeping over the proposed bonus
for soldiers would like to ask why
the rest Of the country isn't weeping
over the huge war profits of the Nor
gan interests. IT certainly is gener-
Gus to keep men in the army from
one to two years at $50 per month
and $50 bonus. Let's have a heavy
tax on all war profits made by all OF
these interests to pay the bonus and
it would not put burden on the
small tax payer. l.. II. s.

Many Men Not Able to Support

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
The navy Is no place for a mar
ried man these days unless he has
enough money to support his family
while he is in service. He should not
think just because he enlisted in the
navy that the navy is going to up
hold and support his family. Many
a man has the idea when he enlists in
the navy that his allotment will cover
all his expenses. 1t won't and could
not. Not with the pay he is draw.

An open forum will be conducted in
The columns of The Reformer on the
