Publicity Chairman.
The Bonus Again.

The following is Commander Mac
Nider's Interpretation of the bonus
question:
The American Legion feels that
opposition to the adjusted Compen-
sation Bill lies principally in ignor-
ance of what the bill really calls
for. We have yet to meet the man
who has read the bill who opposes
it. A brief study of this legislation
appears in nearly every case to be
a very happy antidote for the hue
and cry raised against the cash
bonus, principally by people who
have not taken the trouble to in
vestigate what they object to.
There is a cash option, it is true,
but it is taken care of by small
payments several months apart.
The other four features of the
Legion bill include home and farm
aid, paid up insurance, vocational
training and land settlement. We
believe ourselves that they are
more advantageous to the veteran if
he a afford to take advantage of
them. and we believe that the ma
iority of men affected will choose
the feature most helpful to them,
but with hundreds of thousands of
service men walking the streets of
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1922-02-15

our big cities looking for work it
ill beaooves any one to say that
they shall not have what option
they see fit to take.
When it was q matter Of passing
the Dent act to pay for war con-
tracts never fulfilled, some $4,000
900, 900, more than this act would
cost if every man takes the cash
payments of $50 every three
months, there was no such hue and
cry. Was the manufacturers SER
vice to the country so much more
patriotic that no one could question
it? 1t was an obligation and it was
paid. These men should have some
adjustment in compensation as
against the men who did not have
to 90 and whose wages increased
from five to ten times that Of the
service man.
The man at home had the oppor-
tunity to intrench himself ina per-
manent position, and whether he
took advantage of it or not, to
save and fortify himself for such
conditions as encounter the veteran
today.
You would not take n or two
men equally paid in your employ
and send one out on a particularly
dangerous mission, which he gladly
undertakes out of his loyalty to you
riskig his life, leaving his family,
ready to encounter any difficulties
to serve you, and meanwhile multi

ply many times the wage Of the
man returned home in safety and
on the first mans return not give
him at least an even deal with the
other. Of course you wouldn't even
if you hadn't promised him that
you'd e he got a square deal
when he returned.
Yet that is what the opponent OF
that Adjusted Compensation Bill is
asking the United States to do.
It is not a question of sentiment
of paying for a mans service or his
patriotism, because no man a put
a price on that, nor can any man
pay for it. 1t is an insult even to
suggest it. But there is no reason
for penalizing the man for offering
his life to his country n dangerous
days-and there is every easo for
giving him a square deal.
You will be interested to know
that those men who dictate the af-
fairs of the Federal Reserve Bank
of the Chicago District T in great
majority unqualified for this meas
ure. They must be given credit for
a fairly clear vision of economic
and financial conditions in the part
of the United States most affected
by depression. On the recent Foch
tour it was our privilege to talk to
many members and heads of local
Chamber Of Commerce bodies.
They were almost unanimous in
their support Of the Adjusted Com
