NO FUNDS DELAYS
PAYMENT OF BONUS
Michigan Near Broke Only
Money Enough to Pay States
Expenses for Week.

LANSING. Mich, Aug. 11.-Delay
in payment OF soldier bonuses, It ap-
peared Thursday. is due to the fact
that the general fund OF the state is
depleted 20 such an extent that the
money now on hand Is sufficient 10
meet the expenses Of the state only
for a week.
The administrative board has sold
10000, 900 OF bonus bonds and
notes, and 1850 veterans have re-
ceived their bonus checks from this
The checks total about s3,5OO,OO0,
leaving SIG. 900 in the bonus
fund. Under the law creating the
bonus fund, the money derived from
the sale OF bonus bonds and notes
can be used for no purpose except 10
pay veterans and care for the ex-
pense Of administering the fund.
While separate accounts are kept
OF each of the scores of funds in the
state treasury, the money is kept as
a unit. The result is that. although
no money can or will be taken tech
nically for the bonus fund, the fact
remains that it is likely to be this
fund that will supply the cash for
operating the state government dur
ing the next four months and a half
if the new corporation tax fails to
produce the expected 100000.
There is much doubt whether the
corporation tax will be paid at all,
and whether. IL it is paid by the ma
jority of corporations the amount
derived from it will reach the re-
CURED 100000. To date, with
two-thirds Of the time for paying the
tax expired, only $4,000 has been
received. Two suits have been filed
in the supreme court TO cest its con-
stitutionality, and 1t Is reported that
many large corporations Will delay
payments to await the outcome.
