"WIFE" ON BONUS.

Editor, News Times:-I am not a
1917 hero. nor a "seven-year veter-
an" but the wife of a 1917 hero so
please let me give my opinion con-
corning the bonus.
As far as Seven ear Veteran" is
concerned, he should not complain
about all his hardships, for no doubt
he enlisted seven years before be-
cause he liked army life. He should
not say the 1917 soldiers never saw
active service and probably never
got out of Camp Taylor or Georgia
camps, as we all know they did. Ny
husband spent eight months at Camp
Taylor and went overseas; never got
back till Sept, 1919, along with 9TH

Year-Vet" thinks these boys didn't
see actual service, I'd like to have
him examine some of their discharge
papers. My own cousin was in ser
vice two years before war broke out
and he didn't do any fighting at all

title meant just the kidding along of
the world war veterans.
The kidding game has become a
great American sport, when once
started, it's a hard proposition to
stop. What great sport it was for
the big fellow TO remain at home. sit
in a swivel chair, not because he had
to, but because it was really playing
a part, and big part in his business,
reaping the harvest, the boys at the
front were making sure Of, with the
expectations of a reward for them
selves on their return, if fate smiled
such a lucky thing
But was the fellow that occupied
the swivel chair always perched on
the stool? No, not always. Occa-
sionally he would so out. order his
chauffeur to the railroad station,
where he could greet, possibly, a
hundred or more boys whom he had
never seen, bid them a fair goodbye
and good luck" with thousands of
promises for something better on
their return. But did he keep even
one Of his promises? Not a single
one. I'm not talking from theory
now, but from my own, self-experi-
ence. Right there is where the kid
ding game began, and when did It
stop? When congress trampled on
the last spark that still kept a small
light of hope for some kind Of a re-
ward for the men who did.
Am in favor of bonus for world
war veterans? you ask. Before an
swering that question, may I ask:
! How is this money to be raised, or
| from what sources is it to be de-
rived? You say from different
| forms of taxes on the people. Then

business which would sure be a loser

thing but a wise trick. SO would be

this way I would receive $4,000 and

/ I Will have paid back to the govern
ment Cor myself possibly twelve to
fifteen hundred dollars in taxes and
indirect taxes.
Now then. you say, how should

dollars? I say tax the big fellow

Produced a round of chickering's.
And many trifling fault we made

And many bitter days and nights
Were spent IN battling for our
