Remedy Any Neglect to Injured.

A. c. BEDFORD feel that payment
Of a bonus either in cash or certificates
to able bodied veterans OF the late war
would be to depreciate the patriotism
which gave US victory and would further
delay the reabsorption of these men in
the peaceful pursuits from which they
were taken. We should concentrate ef-
forts along that line to remedying
any neglect shown men and their fam
lilies who suffered permanent injuries or
death in the war.

AID Tho,e Who Need Help.

FRANK b. PAvEY: There is no good
reason for giving bonus indiscriminately

"A general cash bonus is unnecessary;
IL would be extremely bad nfts effect

'"The association hitherto has recorded

The committee favored only one of
