NEW YORK'S BONUS BILL.
I'm mediate Payment Provided for
Veterans of the World War.

Albany, Jan. 12.--Immediate pay
ment by the State of adjusted compen-
sation to New York State veterans of
the World War is to be proposed in
legislation now being prepared for intro
duction in the Legislature early next
week by Assemblyman f. Brundage Of
Orange
The measure, which will be known as
the Veterans Relief Act, does not con-
tain the word ''bonus'' but it provides
for the raising of s30,OO0,0 900 by direct
taxation over a period of three wears,
sl0,000,000 being made available each
year.
Under terms of the proposed legisla-
ton, compensation would be paid at the
rate of $40 q month for every month
served up to twenty, $500 being the
maximum amount any veteran would
receive. To be eligible for the compen-
sation, a veteran would have had to
serve ninety days. No veteran could
draw more than 500 in any one year.
Married veterans with incomes of more
than s., 900 in 1921, 1922 and 1923, based
upon their returns under the Income Tax
law, and single men with incomes of
more than 81, 500 for the same years,
would not be eligible for compensation
