SOLDIER BONUS ACT
HELD INVALID BY
NEW YORK COURTS
State Holds Payment Is Not an
Obligation but a Gift and
Under Law is Illegal.

Albany, Aug. 31.-The court of ap-
peals, by vote of five to two, Wed
nesday held the state soldier bonus act
invalid on the ground that it violated
article Z, section /, of the state con-
stitution, which prohibits using the
credit of the state for the benefit of
any individual, association or corpora
tion.
Judge William S. Andrews wrote
the prevailing opinNn, which was con-
Cured in by UAief Judge Frank II.
Hiscock and Associate Judges John
w. Hogan, Chester B. Mclaughlin
and Frederick E. Crane. Dissenting
opinions were filed by Judges Benja-
min n. Cardozo and Cuthbert W.
Pound.
The bonus act. according to the ma
Jority of the court, is clearly a gift
of the credit of the state unless it is
a payment of some obligation which
"a. state owes. The court continues
that the bonus is not the payment Of
an obligation to the former service
men from the state.
The claim. the court holds, is a
claim essentially against the federal
government, a claim which the govern
ment recognizes and in payment of
which it proposes to appropriate an
amount estimated at between three
billion and five billion dollars.
