COST OF A RONus

There appears to be a wide diversity
Of opinion regarding what the pro-
posed soldier bonus legislation means
selves. Most persons probably think
OF the bonus as a roll of bills passed
out to the service man.
No idea, declares the Boston Globe,
could be more misleading to a citizen
who is honestly trying to understand
the question. The proposal. as it sees
it, is to give the bonus in cash only if
the recipient demands cash, but In
that case he would receive $50 once
in three months until the total a his
81 a day for home service and $1.22
for foreign service was paid him. The
plan. however, It is pointed out, is
framed to discourage cash payments.
\ man entitled to compensation is to
have four other choices. He may ele It
to have the entire sum apply on the
purchase price, thru a mortgage, of n
home or of a farm. He may take it
III the form of paid-up life insurance;
he may have 1t defray the cost of ed
ucaeion for life work. or he may Use
it to assist MIN in taking up a tract of
public land. If he does not select
cash. 40 per cent is added to the total
to which he is entitled.
Regarding the probable cost. Ger
gresham Andrew, who was formerly
connected with the treasury depart
ment, says If every veteran were to
choose the cash bonus the total pay
ment would amount to no more than
$500, 0o0.0 600. distributed over a Pc
riod of two and a half years, and Sec-
rotary Mellon seems to agree with
those figures.
A bonus bill means added taxes and
taxes are never pleasant. especially
when we are already we'll incumbered
with them. but it is not difficult. it is
pointed out by advocates of tho
measure, to recall the enthusiasm
with which we sent the boys away to
fight for US and the delirious welcome
we gave such of them as returned
Nothing was too good for them then
and it is hardly to be wondered at if
they are inclined to resent the att
tude of those who now seem to accuse
them of being engaged in a gigantic
conspiracy to loot the treasury be-
cause they ask for a bounty.

Daily Talk
BORROWfNG TROUBIE

The first thing to bear in mind when
you go to borrow trouble is that you
have to pay back what you borrow
And who wants to be paid back in
| trouble?
Every day live I decide inNmy
own mind that this is a good world
L may be wrong in my decision--but
in such a case 1 shall willingly bear
the responsibility.
At least this is no world in which
to borrow trouble There is apIenty
without borrowing anyway
There was a song which originated
during the world war that l wish
might continue to live. 1t was about
wrapping up your troubles in some
sort of a bag and just-smiling! II
you will try this out and then open
up your bag, 1 will be one to venture
, the opinion that there will be no trou-
bles there at all-they will have leaked
out!
Bear responsibility, face the music,
and play the game--but give your
working machine a chance to func-
ton without borrowing trouble.
Borrowing trouble is much like
borrowing money-the more you Dor
row, the more you do borrow, until
you are enmeshed in troubles. every
one of which looks like some Glib
raltar in size.
David Harum Is made TO say in
~Westcott's book Of this name, that
the reason why a dog has fleas is to
keep him from brooding too much
on being a dog.
Maybe that is like our having trou-
bles-for we each have plenty OF our
own-so that we may not brood too
much on being better than someone
else. and may remember that we are,
first and last, human
But so long as we have troubles.
let us not let it be known that we have
them! And then they won't be bor-
rowed-or lent

Hartford, Conn. apparently is in
the grasp OF the city planners and the
widening OF various streets is being
urged. Commenting on these pro-
posed improvements the Courant says:
I'VE hear a great deal about the need
OF economy these days. 1t is quite the
thing to talk it. But when It comes
TO putting the notion into effect. we
run up against a very different state
OF mind" 1t points out further that
the city is three hundred years old,
and has grown TO be the biggest town
IN the state, with its streets at the ex-
isting width. The experience of Hart
ford is the experience OF the entire
country. Everywhere there is com.
plant OF high taxes and a demand for
economy, but the people, thru their
representatives. continue to add to
their own burdens.

By DOROTHY DIX
WORLDS Righese Paid Woman Writer.

The Parents Union--1.
DR.. Wilbur P. Crafts, superintend-
ent of the International Reform bu-
reau says that there is a juvenile
crime wave sweeping over the coun-
! try! As a result of a personal survey
of states he has found:
Seven minors to one adult is the
ratio of those arrested now for crimes.
The majority of big crimes-mur-
der, burglary and highway robbery
are committed by minors.
For every boy brought to court for
crime, ten girls are arrested for i'm
moral acts.
Dr. Crafts says that the reason for
this alarming situation is simply that
parents are afraid of their children,
and the children know it. Fathers
and mothers are afraid to express an
opinion to their growing children, be-
cause they dread the ridicule of these
youngsters. Family discipline and
parental authority are things of the
past. Left with no control but their
own sweet wills, the children take the
road to destruction. Only parental
failure to curb the young makes pos
sibie the vicious movie, the dance hall,
the joy rides, and the demoralizing
amusements of this day and age.
This is a terrible Indictment of par
enthood. but no honest person can
question its justice.
There are. of course. few children
who are degenerates, born with Grim
inal tendencies. There is a larger
number, but still a small number, of
children whose youth is passed in an
environment that fosters every evil
impulse in their natures, and that
makes them old and wise in wicked
ness before they are old in years.
But the great majority ofNchildren
comes of decent people, and are reared
in decent homes, and when these go
wrong you must put the blame where
it belongS-upon the shoulders of the
fathers and mothers into whose hands
a plastic soul was given and who fail
ed to mould it into a character of
strength, and use, and beauty.
Nine times out of ten when a child
goes wrong, its sins are upon its par
ent's heads and yet there are very,
very, very few fathers and mothers
who do not earnestly desire to rear
their sons and daughters into good
men and women. Their duty to their
children lies heavy on their con-
sciences, and they make more or less
effort towards trying to control their
youngsters. 90
But they find their efforts thwarted
by other peoples children. Their au-
thority is set at naught by the girl
next door. All Of their teachings are
laughed to scorn by the boy across
the street. Their opinions, their.
wishes, are as nothing in the face of
what everybody in school is doing.

The Capper-Volstead bill has been
signed by the president and thus be-
comes a law. 1t exempts farmers or
CARNATIONS from the penalties of the
Sherman antitrust law. Labor unions
already were exempt. If one class of
citizens were exempt there was no
sound reason why others should not
be relieved Of its restrictions. What
interest will be the next to demand ex-
emption? The Sherman law presum-
ably was enacted to prevent persons
from doing something inimical to the
public welfare. Release from its obli-
CATION presupposed that those granted
such freedom desire to do the thing
which the law prohibits. Do the farm
ers Of this country really wish to be
regarded in that light? Probably they
do not. If the Sherman law is so
unjust as to require so many excep-
tons. in all fairness to the people as
a whole it should be repealed. In the
meantime, if any other interest can
muster as many votes as are repre-
aented in the. labor unions or the
farmer organizations perhaps it can
obtain special legislation of the same
sort.

. II the railroads were permitted to
conduct their business with the same
degree OF freedom from interference
that is accorded other industries, 1t
is doubtful that they would be impor-
tuning the government for loans. The
roads are not permitted to adjust in
come or expenditure to the necessi-
ties of their business. 1t is impera-
tive that the costs of production and
distribution be lowered. An essential
step in this program is a reduction
in wages. There are certain powerful
organized labor groups that oppose
most bitterly any move in this direc-
tion. They are inclined to the view
that wages come out of the intake of
the employer. whereas the latter
merely represents the channel thru
which wage payments are made.
Wage payments come from the COM
men income. In their opposition to
wage reductions both the miners and
the railroad men have had the sup
port OF the government. 1t was a sad
day for the general public when the
government began to interfere with
economic laws
