REGARDING BONUS
FOR WAR VETERANS.

| 1t may be Christmas present or
it may be a Thanksgiving present,
= but anyway before the end of the
present year, every man and woman
, in the service of tho United States
during the World War will receive
his or her hundred dollar bonus.
Since the people of the State. by
their votes on Monday, ratified the
proposed Constitutional amendment
authorizing the issuance of $4,000, 900
in bonds for the payment of this bo-
nus Governor Milliken has decided to
start at orCe the necessary maChin-
cry SO that these men and women
may receive their pay at the earliest
possible moment.
It Will he recalled that. at the spe-
cial session of the Legislature of 1919,
the so called Garcelon bill providing
for the bonus to former service men
was passed unanimously. The oper-
alton of this bill was made contingent
I upon the ratification of the constitu-
tional amendment authorizing the is
suance of bonds.
| So we'll have all the details been
attended to that the work of distribu-
bonds can be engraved. sold and the
money received. Adjutant General
George Mel Presson has been
studying the workings of the bonus
bills in other States and is prepared
to receive applications at once. There
is every reason to believe, therefore.
that by Thanksgiving and certainly
before Christmas. the bonus will be
distributed.
Within a few days, announcement
will be made as to the method of APP
nlicaton and the facts to be furnish
cd to substantiate the claims that a
service man is entitled to the bonus.
Before formal application is made,
therefore, General Presson suggests
that service men await publication Of
tho final details of Instruction..
