FORDNEYBONUS,
HINTS NJ 'N|DER
Declares He Hasn't Given Bill
Sufficient Study Yet-case
Before People.
BY International News Service.

The. American Legion looks ia
vorably on the revised Republican
soldier bonus plan, 1t was intimated
here today by Hanford MacNider
national commander of the Ameri-
can Legion.
MacNider, who is en- route to at
tend the Florida State convention
of the legion, declared that he had
not studied the proposed bill suf-
ficiently to warrant a flat state
ment of approval or disapproval.
Officials of the American Legion
accompanying him. however. were
frank in declaring that they saw
no objection to the revised plan.
MacNider stated that he was
aware Of President Harding's atti-
tuder towards the new measure as
expressed by the President yester-
day. The bill, under which the
former soldiers would receive de-
ferred adjusted compensation or i'm
mediate relief through bank loans,
does not appeal to the President.
Asked II he would pay another
visit to the President to plead for
passage OF a soldier bonus measure.
MacNider stated he would not.
The American Legion has put
its case clearly before the Presi-
dent" McNider declared. 1T mas
already been put clearly before the
American people - has become an
ssue where everyons must stand on
one side of the fence. On one side
are the capitalistic interests and on
the other are the friends of fighting
men. The details Of the bonus meas
ure will require careful study be-
fore I commit myself or the legion.
The larger issue is the passage
II soldier bonus measure. l can
only urge Its passage at the earliest
possible date and point out to those
who have it in their power to pass
IT. that the people whom they rep
resent desire that 1t be passed"

Paying his respects to The Wash

Judge said ut is not my duty to
keep a record of people who come
into my court to testify in more
than five or six cases."
The judge promised that the grand
Jury would probe thoroughly those
instances where alleged professional

Terms of Bonus Bill
as Outlined by
House Chiefs

Under the provisions Of the re-
vised bonus bill. the insurance
certificate plan is substituted for
the insurance and cash bonus
features of the five-way plan en-
dorsed by the American Legion.
Veterans are given five options
under the plan, as follows:
To receive adjusted service
pay; but the veteran cannot
choose this plan if the amount of
his adjusted service credit is
more than $50.
To receive vocational training
aid.
To receive farm or home aid.
To receive land settlement aid.
The vocational training aid,
the farm or home aid and the
land settlement aid features re-
main as they were in the bonus
bill that was reported by the
Senate Finance Committee last
Summer.
The revised bill also excludes
the first sixty days Of service in
figuring the adjusted service
credit. Every person who served
with the Army, Navy or Marine
Corps, with a rank no higher
than captain in the Army or Ma
rine Corps and Lieutenant in the
Navy, either at home or over
seas, is entitled to compensation.
The new draft of the bill re-
tains the amount of compensa-
ton originally fixed. For each
day of home service 81 is al
lowed and $l25 for each day Of
overseas or high seas service.
A maximum of $500 for home
service and 1925 for overseas
service is fixed.

clared that Stuart should feel crate.

justice" to him in more than One
case.
When Stuart appeared in Little
Reno in 1920, he went first to the
office Of Judge Moncure. The judge
rendered him a home in his country
estate. 1t was accepted.
Mr.. Stuart agreed to bring my
milk in to town every day" Moncure
testified, but 1 don't believe he
brought it in more than five or six
times in a whole year. I had to 60

II used to go out to the house at
8 or 8 o'clock in the morning and

ried groceries out to him in my car"
Moncure said he advised Stuart to
get up earlier and pick up few fees.
even though small ones, because
started that way when I came to
Alexandria and there were no
welcoming hands to receive me-"
Answering the charge by Stuart
that the Judge had repeatedly urged
him to take up divorce practice,
Moncure said Ibis statement is un-
qualifiedly untrue"
"Al ! can say to him on that
score is to borrow a phrase from my
friends of the cloth: may the Lord
rebuke thee" Moncure said.
Moncure contended that divorce
practice is legitimate practice and
the law Of this State" and he saw
no reason why a lawyer should nc
handle divorce cases.

But Stuart persisted in comm

The Judge said that he found it
necessary to take physical exercise
after his labors on the bench and in
the afternoons he made 1t practice
to go to his country place, build
cowsheds and fences and hoe in the
garden in Gods sunshine"
No peace could he have, for Stuart
was even present to discuss pending
cases and to feel the pulse of the
judge.
HE wanted to talk shop" said
Moncure. ION one occasion he was
a decision that had been
handed down by the court Of ap.
peals. He said the court was abso-

It means that he will veto bonus bill that does

seems to make certain Presidential veto of the
bonus bill reported to the House yesterday without
provision for taxation. Instead the bill proposes

These certificates are identical with Government
bonds, which the President has rejected as means
Of financing the bonus. Therefore he will be wholly
