There were receptacles placed
at convenient distances for
this purpose.
Then he asked them not to

the colonel, Everybody is
saying I think more about
the trees and grass than the

REPUBLICAN coNGREssMEN Ar
PEAR AGREED ON SCHEME
OUTLINED
DETAILS ARE EXPLAINED
Banks Would Loan Half OF Face Value
Of Bonus Certificates, and Gov.
eminent Would Assume the
Loans After three Years. .

washington Unanimous agreement
on a compromise soldiers bonus bill
along the general lines outlined was
reached by the house ways and means
committee republicans. who believed
they had found a solution Of the prob
lem which had been giving admins
tration and congressional leaders con.
Germ for several weeks. The revised
measure, however, still has a long
road to travel before it reaches the
statute books.
AS now drawn, the 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
training; home and farm aid. and land
settlement.
In working out details Of the c~ertifi-
cate loan provision, which was sug.
gested originally by Representative
Bowers, republican, West Virginia. the
majority committeeman reduced the
face value of the certificate. which
would be the amount of the adjusted
service pay, plus % per cent, plus in.
terest at four and a half per cent, com.
pounded annually, instead of the serv-
ice pay, Plus 40 per cent plus the in
terest as originally proposed. 1t was
thought this would result in a saving
to the government up to a possible
maximum OF half a billion dollars.
Banks, in making loans on the Ger.
tificates, could not charge an interest
rate in excess OF two per cen above
the rediscount rate charged by the re.
gional federal reserve bank on 90.day
paper in the district where the loan
was made, and they could not make
the loans for a period in excess of
three years from the date Of the Ger.
t~ificate, which would not be reds
countable by federal reserve banks.
if the loans had not been repaid on
Sept. 30, 1925, the banks could make
demand on the government for the
money due. The government, it was
said. then would cash the certificate,
pay the bank and turn the remainder
over to the service man. The cash
surrender value Of the certificate on
that date would be IS per cent Of the
adjusted service pay, plus interest at
four and a half per cent, compounded
annually, from the date CT the %ccrtifi-
cate. This also would be the loan value
for federal advances as Of that date.
Committeeman said it was not posi-
bic to estimate how much money the
government would have to advance on
and after Sept. 80. 1928. as this would
depend first upon the number Of men
eIecting to take certificates and, sec,
ond, upon the number borrowing from
the banks and defaulting in payment
or borrowing directly from the gov.
eminent.
