PROVISIONS OF
SOLDIER BONUS
Bank Loans for 80 Per Cent of Adjusted
Service Certificates at Rea-
sOnabIe Interest

WASHINGTON, March AIS now
drawn the soldier bonus bill provides for
cash payments only to those men whose
adjusted service pay would not exceed
$50 and these four optional features
Adjusted service certificates with an
added loan provision which would enable
the men to obtain Immediately from
banks a sum equal TO so per cent OF the
adjusted service pay; vocational tram
ing, home and farm aid and land settle
ment.
In working out details of the certil.
cate loan provision, which was suggested
originally by Representative Bowers,
Republican, of West Nirgini9 the major
ity committeeman reduced the tace value
of the certificate, which would be the
amount Of the adjusted service pay plus
% per cent plus interest at - per cent
compounded annually, instead OF the
service pay, plus 40 per cent plus the
interest originally proposed. 1t was
thought this would result in a saving
to the government up to a possible max
imum of half a billion dollars.
Banks, in making loans on the certIh-
Gates, could not charge an interest rate
in excess of per cent above the rCdls-
count rate charged by the regional fed
eral reserve bank on 90-day paper IN the
district whore the loan was made and
they could not make the loans for per
iod in excess OF three years from the
date of the certificate, which would not
be rediscountablc by federal banks.
If the loans had not been repaid on
September 30, 1925. tine banks could
make demand on the government for
the money due. The government, it
was stated. then would cash the ceTtih-
cate, paw the bank and turn the rest
over to the service fan. The cash sur
render value of the certificate on that
date would be 50 per cent Of
,f
interest at ID per cent compounded
annually from, the date of the certiti-
cate. This also would be the loan value
for federal advances as of that date
Committeeman said it was not pos
siblc to estimate how much money the
government would have to advance on
and after September 30, 1928, a. this
would denend first upon the number OF
men cIecting to take certificates and,
second, upon the number borrowing from
the adjusted service pay plus
borrowing directly from the government.
