BONUS AND PENSIONS

The half million veterans of the
Mexican, Spanish and Civil wars are
receiving pensions which amounted
the last fiscal year to s250,OOO, 900.
Among those who are opposed to the
principle of a bonus to the soldiers of
the World War a plan is under con-
sideration which would distribute an
even greater amount in the form of
pensions.
They are opposed to the bonus out
right and they would not have the
pension plan taken up until after the
war debt has been funded, which will
inevitably place a great strain on the
money market, but it is doubtful
whether their pension plan will be
perfected inside year. This is to
include an insurance feature under
