This condition, which makes for
the general prosperity of the

about by the efforts of the Louis

NEEDY VETERAN CAN GET CASH
AT ONCE AND IN GREATER

SERVICE CERTIFICATE
PLAN AGREED UPON TENTA-

Western Newspaper Union Sss, ssr,,s.

Washlngton.-A compromise SOL
dcrs' bonus plan under which the
cash feature would be eliminated
where the former service men would
be entitled to more than $50 adjusted
service pay, wns agreed upon tenta-
lively, but unanimously, by special
subcommittee of the Republican mem
bers of the House ways and means
committee.
In the nature of substitute for
the discarded cash feature there would
be added to the adjusted service GER
tificate title provision which would
enable the men selecting the certifi-
cate the option to obtain Immediately
from banks loan equal to one-half of
the adjusted service pay to which they
would be entitled on the basis of 81 n
dag for domestic service and S1.25 Il
day for overseas acrvice.
In announcing the compromise
agreement, Chairman Fordney said 1t
would take some time before all de-
tails of the loan provision could he
worked out and the original bill
amended to conform to 1t. He ex-
would be so well received by House
members generally that it would not
be necessary to submit the new bill to
party conference, thus speeding up
the time of its submission to the
House.
Chairman Fordney and other COM
mittccmen said they believed the new
plan would meet with general favor,
in and out of Congress, for three real
sons, which were summarized as fol-
lows. in formal statement issued by
Representative Green of Iowa, ranking
Republican on the committee:
"One. The needy veteran can OBJ.
tain money as soon rs his certificate
is issued and by the cash plan of the
original bill.
1.-TWO. No large drafts to be made
on the treasury until the expiration
| of three years.
Three. No new taxes required"
Word went around House members
that the compromise plan was accep
table both to President Harding and
to officers of the American Legion
and after there had been informal ex
changes of views among members In
cloak rooms and corridors, 1t was said
that apparently n strong sentiment In
favor Of the new proposal was de
velopng.
Representative Garner of Texas
the ranking Democrat on the ways
and means committee, said that while
there probably would be some Opposi
tiOn from the Democratic side, it wal
Democrats would support the amend
ed bill. He thought the loan feature
would tend to expand credits in the
extent of half a billion dollars and
thus result in some increase in the
cost Of living during the expansion
| period.
