HOUSTON ATTACKS
BONUS PROPOSALS
AsSAlL5 DIFFERENT PLANS IN
STATEMENT BEFORE THE
SENATE COMMITTEE.
Secretary of Treasury Says 1t Would
Cost the Government $1,000, 100000
Provided All Former Service
Men Chose Single Plan.

Washington. = Approximately ST.
S0O,0O0000 was the estimate submit
ted December 2S by Secretary Hous-
ton of the treasury department as the
cost of carrying out provisions of the
soldiers bonus bill.
The treasury secretary presented his
estimate TO the senate finance commit
tee without comment other than to
urge that no legislation be enacted
which would lay an additional burden
on the nations finances. The estimate
was accompanied by figures showing
the cost of carrying out any one of
the five optional provisions of the
bonus bill provided all former service
men chose single plan. The figures
for the various plans ranged fran
Sl,342 100000 for the adjusted pay
provisions, to 81 ,534 100000 for the in
surance provision. The maximum
possible cost of the vocational training
aid and the farm and home develop
ment plans was placed at $1,SS0000,-
0O0 each, while the secretary said the
llil pToNiSlOll, IL pam LOT ldnu settle
ment held so many uncertainties that
1t was impossible to estimate the pos
sible expenditure.
Submission of the estimated total
cost made an apparent impression
upon members of the committee which
is considering the bonus bill as passed
by the house at the last session. Men,
bers declined to forecast the decision
of the committee on the question of
reporting out the measure, but it was
recalled That Senator McCumber, Re-
publican of North Dakota, stated at
the opening of hearings on the bill
that its passage would depend largely
on the state of government finances
and that Mr.. Houston had testified the
treasury, with normal expenditures,
would have deficit of 81, 100, 100000
for the year ending next June 30, and
a deficit of $1,500,000, 900 for the fol-
lowing twelve months.

This Is the record year of American
