COST T0UNCIE SAM
IN SOLDIER BONUS
Estimate Prepared for House
Committee by Service
Officers.

The soldiers bonus would cost the
federal government approximately
S2,o00,00o.000 on the basis of esti-
mates prepared for the House ways
and means committee by fiscal officers
of the Army. Navy and Marine Corps.
This total is predicated upon the
assumption that 80 per cent of the
men who served with the Army and
- per cent of those who saw service
with the Navy and Marine Corps will
take cash. American Legion officers
have estimated that not more than
half of the Army men would elect the
cash provision. and they took issue
To-Day before the committee with Navy
and Marine Corps officers, who figured
that 40 per cent of the men who
served in those services would elect
to take money.
Probable Division Of Funds.
Capt. Philip Williams Of the NAVY
bureau of navigation, and Maj. X. b.
putnam, assistant paymaster of the
Marine Corps, estimated that only
per cent of the Navy and Marine
Corps veterans would elect to take
vocational training; that 10 per cent
would take the insurance certifi-
Gates; 6i2 per cent the farm and
home aid, aid 6h per cent the land
settlement
On this division, Capt. Williams
estimated the cost of the bonus for
men who served with the Navy al
S2H ,6Ss,142: Maj. Putnam placed the
cost for Marine Corps veterans at
s3S.s77,5se.' Brig. Gen. Lord, budget
ohcer OF the War Department., pr.-
Viously had estimated that the cost
IN the case OF men serving with the
Army would be s., los. 900.
Bonus Hearings Ended.
With the examination of Capt. Will
liams and Maj. Putnam and several
other witnesses the committee
brought the bonus hearings to a
close. The committee will meet to-
morrow to consider the provisions of
the bill and the majority members
soon will begin conferences with the
republican members of the Senate
finance committee on the question of
means Of financing the bonus.
The problem of selecting revenue
sources to defray the cost of a SOL
dierS bonus measure rested today in
the hands of the majority members
of the House ways and means COM
mittee and the Senate finance COM
mittee.
Take President's Advice.
Informing the majority members of
the two committees at a White House
conference late yesterday that what
ever bonus bill was enacted should
carry a revenue provision, President
Harding joined in an agreement that
they should confer jointly on the
question of how the revenue should
be raised, with the understanding
that when a decision was reached it
should be submitted to- the President
with a view to his concurrence.
Discussion at the conference of
various means of raising the neces-
sary money was said to have re-
suited in no conclusions. 1t was be-
lieyed today that intercommittee
conferences would begin probably a
day or two after the approaching
conclusion of the bonus hearings be-
fore the House committee.
