BONUS CARRIES BY
SMASHING MAJORITY
DETAILS BEING WORKED OUT
TO PUT MACHINERY OF ACT
INTO OPERATTON-TEST SUIT
EXPECTED TO DETERMINE LIE
GALITY OF BONDS BEFORE
THEY CAN BE ISSUED

Smashing all established preced-
ents for initiative or referendum
measures, the soldiers bonus bill,
otherwise known as referendum bill
No. 2, rolled up an overwhelming
majority in the general election IN
November 2.
While the tabulation OF returns Is
not yet competed SO that not even
an approximation Of the total vote
cast on the measure can be made, 1t
is predicted it will carry by more
than two to one, possibly a ratio
of three to one.
So far as has been ascertained, not
a single county in the state defeate l
the bill. Thurston county went over
the top with q handsome majority
for the measure. With only half OF
the precincts in the county tabulated
today the vote stood 2,175 to 1867
in favor of giving the soldiers and
sailors their compensation.
AS an indication of the effective
work performed by the American Lee
gion bonus committee, and in fact bv
all the veterans interested in the
measure, it is pointed out that OF all
the referendums and constitutional
amendments submitted to the people
in this election the bonus bill seems
to be the only one to have success
fully weathered the traditional habit
of voters to frown on all initiative
and referendums. So far in the hic
tory Of the state only two submis'
sions have been approved by the
people, one the prohibition amend
ment and the other the teachers em
ployment agency bill, which went
through and was later knocked out
by the United States supreme court
The next question in the minds OF
all service men who are to become
beneficiaries under the bonus bill Is.
when will this act be put into
operation"
Soldiers and sailors have a fear OF
the usual army red tape and few CT
the more sarcastic ones have beer
heard to remark that they do not ex
pect to get their bonus until-well
until they get grayheaded.
Such will not be the case, however

at that moment more than 200 ex-
service men are expected to take
their places in the ranks and be ready
to open the Armistice Day celebration
as planned by the Olympia Post of
the American Legion. This celebra-
ton gives promise to be the biggest
patriotic affair ever staged in the
city of Olympia and one that will
open the eyes Of the populace to the
fact that the Legion is, as an organ
ization, ready to turn out, and pow
erful enough to make itself felt in
case of an eruption on the part Of the
disloyal element of the country
The celebration will be opened
with the parade of ex-service men in
the county and this parade will end
a few minutes before IL o'clock at
the Elks' arena, back Of the Elks'
Club building. where the rresenta-
ton of the Victory medals will be
made by Governor Hart and a
patriotic address will be made by
Land Commissioner Clark v. Savidgc.
The Elks' band will lead the pa
rade, in uniform, and will furnish the
music at the arena. The program, as
planned by the committee, calls for
the singing of America" by the
entire audience, followed by an exer-
else by an Americanization squad,
from Camp Lewis. Mr.. Savidge will
then be introduced by Attorney Cen
eral l.. l.. Thompson, an ex-service
man, and will deliver his address.
The address will be followed b.
music, after which Governor Hart,
also introduced by Mr.. Thompson.
will present the medals to the coun-
tvs representatives in the late war.
This presentation will be made by the
Governor as the states representa-
tive. The band will then play the
"Star Spangled Banner" concluding
the exercises.
The service men will march to
their quarters. where feed will be

given them, ard their friends, by the
Woman's Auxiliary of the Legion, as
sisted by the Minute Women of the
county, who volunteered their serv-
ices and appointed committee to
assist the Legion in its celebration.
A football game has been scheduled
for the afternoon and at 3 O'Clock
sharp the Olympia high school foot
ballers will open battle with the
Aberdeen team. Both teams are
fighting for place in the first divi-
sion of the high school football league
and the struggle will be one Of the
features Of the day. This game will
be complimentary to all men in uni
form, through the courtesy of the
high school management.
The dance committee of the Legion
has made elaborate plans for the
dance in the evening. This dance
will be given at the Red Cross hall
at Tumwater and will be compli
mentary to all men in uniform.
1t is the plan of the committee in
charge to have the program open az
exactly IL o'clock on Armistice Day
morning and efforts will be made to
this end. 1t is requested that the
friends of the service men who will
attend the exercises at the arena be
in their seats in ample time to allow
Mr.. Thompson to announce the first

set. One block of seats will be re-
served for the service men and the
rest will be open to the public.

NEXT WEEK

Thursday of next week is the Lc-
gion's big day-Armistice Day. This
is the anniversary of 1.-The day when.
by the efforts of our forces afield and
afloat and our loyal toilers at homo ,.
the nation came VIGOROUSLY from
the greatest of wars" 1t also marks
lust one year since that dreadful oc'
currence in our neighboring city
Centralia, which stirred within Ms a
new feeling of comradeship and
awakened US to the menace of radi-
calism in our midst.
We, as Legion members, lay calm
to no monopoly on loyalty, but it Il
natural that We should take the lead
in the formal observance Of such an
occasion; and we call upon every
man or woman who has served be
meath the Stars and Stripes and every
citizen who believes in us and ouI
ideals, to Join with us next Thursday
November II, in our celebration.
All Legion members and ex-service
men are particularly urged to turn
out and help make the affair sue
cess. Our regular meeting occurs o.
Wednesday. the night before the
18th; and everyone who intends t.
participate in the Armistice Day cele
bration should attend this meetin!
and receive the latest instructions
from our committee, which has beer
working so hard afor a successful
observance of this-OUR DAY.

THE FAITHFUL FEW

There is rule that seems to hold
good in all organizations, namely, a
few members do most Of the work..
The head Of every organization learns
to rely upon certain members when
anything is to be done. He may ap.
point committee after committee,
urge. solicit, importune and cajoie
the membership in an effort to get
something done. but eventually he
finds il necessary to fall back upon
his old standby-"the faithful few"
Nothing could have better illus
trated this point than the recent
bonus" campaign. AS usual. few
members did all the work. so far as
the Legion was concerned. To be
sure, we had the active support Of
several other organizations. notably
the Woman's Auxiliary; but the Le-
gion members themselves apparently
took only passive interest in the
matter, although the work to be done
was entirely and exclusively for the
benefit of each individual member.
Although the bonus bill means an
average Of $500 to every ex-service
man, it is an actual fact that less
than one hundred in this county were
willing to kick in with SO cents each
to help pay for printing and other
campaign expense.
How many American Legion mem
bers have bought Auditorium tickets?
Are you waiting for someone to call
and ask you to buy? Every Amer
lean Legion man should be hot foot
ing It to a member of the committee
and demanding a ticket for himself,
and a few others to sell. It's your
Legion, comrade; it's going to be
your auditorium. Are you going to
sit back and camly watch someone
elese do your work for you? Shake
a foot, Sailor. Make 'er snappy. Sol
der. Do something. For heavens
sake-DO SOMETHING.
