PEOPLE FAVOR BONUS BILLS
New York, New Jersey, Washington
and South Dakota Sanction the
Proposition.

The passage of soldier bonus bills in
New York, New Jersey, Washington
and South Dakota by overwhelming
majorities at the November elections
is unquestionable proof of the public's
recognition Of veterans, claims, is the
opinion advanced in an editorial which
appeared recently in the American Lee
gion Weekly.
"One-fourth of the five million men
who served in the army and navy live
in states which have shown their sense
of justice by awarding compensation"
the writer says. 'Three-fourths of the
veterans of the World war live in
thirty-six states which. have not faced
the issue-in most of them because
there have been no recent sessions Of
state legislatures.
'The United States senate will soon
pensation for World war veterans.
Facing them sQuarely is the Fordney
bill, adopted by the lower house. This
bill will meet every test Of justice. II
Is In accord with the sentiment of the
people of the country as attested by
the state bonus elections. Its passage
by the senate will mark the fulfillment
Of a national obligation. The state boz
muses. are the expressions Of a desire
by the people to give a square deal.
They do not lessen in any degree the
federal responsibility, which cannot be
avoided on the plea Of state generos-
ity."
