posos. Pointing TO increased appropria-
tons for the Public Building Commits

Councilman McManus stated the
Board OF Public Education seemed well
pleased with the 100000 appropria-
ton.
Councilman Murray said he favored
a larger appropriation for the Board

vote for the budget because members

Gil was appropriating as much money
as Il could.

adjusted service credit did not exceed
$50.
Adjusted service certificate with
bank and government loan provisions.
Vocational training aid.
Farm and home aid.
Land settlement aid.
The estimated cost for each of these
plans is S16.0OO.OOO for the cash pay
ment aid and $52,325 900 for vocational
service service certificates: S412.425,-
600 for farm. home and land settle
ment aid and So, 900 for vocational
training. The expenses under voca-
tional training and the cash bonus
would end in 1925. under this esti-
mate. and those for farm, home and
land settlement aid in 1929.
Explaining the bill, Chairman Nc
Cumber said in his report that the
amount of the adjusted service credit
would be at the rate of 81 q day for
domestic service and SIPS for foreign
service less the $50 bonus paid when
the veterans were discharged from the
service. In nc event, however, could
the total exceed $500 in the case of
those who had only domestic service
and 1925 for those who had both do
nestle and foreign service.
The adjusted service certificates,
payable at the end of 90 years from
the date of issue. or ooner upon death,
would have a face value of 3.015 times
the total amount of the adjusted serv-
ice credit. Until January l., 1926.
banks would be authorized to loan to
the veterans an amour equal to 30
per cent of the adjusted service credit
plus interest at the rate of Az per cent
compounded annually from the date of
certificate. After January L. 1926.
the government would make loans on
the certificate in varying amounts, ac-
cordlng to the time negotiated.
Chairman McCumber said in his re-
port that the committee had recon-
mended elimination of the reclamation
provision of the house bill, for three
ANY reclamation scheme will be ex-
ceedingly expensive and will in the end
neccssltate the expenditure of millions
of dollars; it will be many years before
a veteran would be able to determine
whether he could secure any rights IN
der such plan and where the projects
would be located: and. in making an
application for such aid the veteran
would not know anything relative to
location, cost, or advantage of the
project.
AS a land settlement provision in
place of the reclamation veterans would
be given preference in making entry |
on any public or Indian lands opened
TO entry. To pay for these lands they |
be entitled to a sum equal TO the
service credit increased by

EFFORT To REPORT BILL
BLOCKED BY WILLIAMS
MCUMBER To TRY AGAIN
Measure Presented to Senate After First Trial
Had Been Blocked by Mississippi Scion;
Ashurst Says Government Has Paid "War
Profiteers" and Should Now Pay Vets.

Washington, June 8.-The soldiers bonus bill was formally
presented Thursday night to the senate after a previous effort
by Chairman McCumber of the finance committee to report it at
the opening session had been blocked by Senator Williams, DEM
ocrat, Mississippi.
Because of the parliamentary procedure under which the
senate was operating, unanimous consent was necessary to
present the bill and report it, which earlier in the day had been
made public by Senator McCumber. Senator Williams refused
such consent.
Asserting that congress had paid the claims against the
government of "war profteers" and that every time an effort
was made to pay compensation to the soldiers there was objec-
ton, Senator Ashurst, democrat, Arizona, urged Seantor Nc
Cumber to move that the bill be received.
"The time has come for the use of pluck and grit and cour-
age and sand" the Arizona senator shouted. Senator McCum-
Der explained that he could not offer such a motion because
