Editorial Opinion
HELP WHERE 1T is NEEDED.

From the New York Tribune.
Mindful OF a need greater than
their own. the members OF the
American Legion Of the State of
New York have dropped their
demand for a State bonus and
placed themselves behind the bill
providing relief for disabled vet
Grams.
This is a bill with which the vast
majority of the people Of the State
are in sympathy II will apply 10
all disabled service men out OF work
for thirty days, and who are not
receiving vocational aid
The bill. It is believed. will be
signed Immediately by the Governor.
who has expressed himself in its
favor.
Opposition to national and state
bonus acts is very general just now,
but few people can be found who
do not believe that the men who
were injured in the war should be
cared for either by the State or the
Nation. Now that the members of
the Legion have abandoned their
advocacy OF State bonus and CEN
tered all their efforts on securing
the passage Of measure to help the
men who most need help. there is
no reason for further hesitation in

"A neighbor who had derived

reconstruction which has been pain
fully accomplished.
President Harding has labored
earnestly to bring about a return to
normalcy. He is unwilling to turn
back in order to save the faces or
seats Of Congressman who are play
ing politics with the bonus. He has
let it he known again that he stands
where he originally stood-favoring
either a bonus with a sales tax or a
postponement Of bonus legislation.
If Congress votes a bonus and
lays a sales tax to meet il. all false
pretense will be brushed aside. The
soldier will be paid and the taxpayer
will not have dust thrown into his
eyes.
But the House leaders fear the
taxpayer even more than they do
the soldier. The agricultural bloc is
against sales tax. Those who want
the soldier compensated want to
have somebody else compensate
him.
The legislative comedy is nearly
played out. Phe new Fordney bill is
born dead. Congress. controlled by
self-interest and fear. has about
convinced the country that It lacks
competency TO deal at this time with
the bonus problem.
