|.,i association of ManufaC t,lrcrS,
through its president, John l.. Ed
n,.rton. has issued Il statement in
o,.hich it declared that the addition
n taxes necessary to pay the bonus
may prove to be the straw which
breaks the industrial camcrs back.
The industries of the country are
no, opposing the most generous care
for all those who were disabled. or
che dependents Of those who were
l,illcd or who suffered casualties in
the war. But that the former ser
vice men can have their votes at the
November election bought by pal
,ry dole of $500 or $500. payable
$50 quarter, is an insult to their
and an outrage upon
aeir sense of decency, he declared.
He voiced the opinion that every
member Of Congress who supports
'this iniquitous legislation" will be
defeated for reelection. These sol
/ dierx know that all sums would be
quickly dissipated," he continues ;
that SIC month or SO cents day
would not be enough to prove of
substantial pecuniary benefit, and
they must realize that billions 50
expended will have to be repaid BY
them and the members of their fam
lies in increased taxes and in
creased cost of LIVING.

The greater part of the State testi

by relatives and others who told OF
seeing Romine at his store and at
