HAS NEW BONUS PLAN
Aid to Veterans Would Be
a Loan and Bring
Them Back to Soil.

II A. P. Entenza, commander in chief
of the United Spanish War Veterans
arrived in the city Saturday morning
to bring to the local camp of the or
ganization his message of an equal
standard" for all veterans of wars
waged by this country.
~The heroes of the late World War,
he said, in speaking of the equalization
Of benefits received BY veterans, "must
have been figured by Congress to be
100 per cent soldiers, and 100 per cent
patriots, and were therefore given COM
pensation of 500 a month when they
were totally or partially disabled. If
this is true, then the heroes of the
Standardization War must have been
rated as only 30 per cent soldiers and
30 per cent patriots, for they receive
only $50 a month compensation for
the same disability"
he favors a bonus, he said, not as a
lift but as a longtime loan, and then
only when it will take the ex-service
men back to the soil or help them
build a home.
"And If this is done for the veter-
ans OF the World War;" he SAID, III
should also be done for all veterans:
Right now most Of the veterans of
the Spanish-American War are at the
age of life when they would make good
farmers, or are ready to settle down
into homes. Why should they be dis

he was one of the outstanding fig

bonus in California which is in the
nature of loan and which is for the
benefit of all veterans. This, he be-
lieves, will establish a precedent in the
passing of state or national bonuses,
for the reason that it is not only the
fair way to do it, but also because it

tonic. Up until Saturday, General
Gonzales has not indicated which cours{
he intends to pursue. The radicals have
been warned by President Oregon tina
if they use force to GUST the governo
from office, their acts will be considered
rebellious.
General Gonzales was accused befor1
the Mexican congress at the City oil
Mexico last December, with having re
fused to enforce the agrarian ans
electoral laws.
The Coahuila governor, who is con
sidered to be anti-radical, has beef
confronted with two sets of state legis.
latures. The division in the legislaj
ture almost precipitated bloodshed W

sides. Trouble was averted only b
the appearance of the police. Sinc'|
that time, it is reported, federal troop

Imprisonment il. tie Bcxar county

was the sentence imposed upon Frank
Smith by Judge Duval West after SIN. h
had entered a plea of not guilty to five
counts in an information filed against
him charging him with violations of the
national prohibition laws. With the
disposal of the Smith case Saturday aft
ernOon, the federal court for the San
Antonio division was recessed until Feb
buary 3. Court officials will leave San
Antonio for Austin, Sunday. where fed
eral court for the Austin division will
open Monday morning with an unusual
ly heavy criminal docket, for that divi-
81 of 100 cases.
The right of trial by jury was waived
by the defendant and the case was heard
by Judge West. According to testi-
mony brought out at the trial, two fires
occurring on dates about six months
apart, resulted in the securing of evil
dence upon which the information was
based.
1t was alleged that on July IS. a
mousse on SOuLn CnlJn street cdugL lire,
and among the debris two stills were
found. The stills were believed to have
been the origin Of the blaze. 1t was
further alleged that on December 10, a
small fire started in a house on Tam
pico street and a still was found in the
house at that time.
Say Stills Not His.
Witness introduced by the govern
ment asserted that the defendant had
rented the two places from them. When
the defendant took the stand, he assert
ed that he had rented the two houses,
but he had not rented them for himself
but for friend whom he had formerly
known in Chicago. He denied that he
was in any way connected with the
stills found at the two houses.
Nicholas Alvarez, charged jointly
with Lee Hong Lung for theft from
interstate shipment and possession of
stolen goods, was acquitted by the fed
eral jury in verdict returned Saturday
afternoon. Lee Hong Lung was found
not guilty of theft but found guilty of
possession of the property. He was

In passing sentence upon Lung,
Judge West asserted that since Al arez,
who was found not guilty by the jury,
had spent over five months i'll Jail, that
the court could not give the one who
was found guilty, sentence less than
the time spent by Alvarez in Jail in de-
fault of bond.
After the adjournment of the court
at the Austin division, the special ses-
sion of the federal grand jury will meet
at Del Rio January 20. From the I'M
usual character of the grand jury, name
ly, the ulL ually large venire of 100
persons, and to the fact that a large
number of the grand jury has been Sc
lected outside of the Del Rio division,
considerable interest is attached to the
probable findings of the inquisitorial
body.

is of the belief that the large business
interests of the country are to a GER
tain extent losing sight of their pa
triotic responsibility, in demanding
higher profits and trying to evade
taxes.
There is a possibility" he said, "of
business becoming, through failure to
see its public and patriotic obligation,
menace TO the government instead of
friend, trying to take the law into
its own hands as the khan and other
organizations are now doing"
There should be a fair return on in
vestmentS, in the opinion of Mr.. En-
ten2a, which should be recognized by
all business men, and above that. it is
their duty to return their earnings to
society.
Thinks Bill Will Pass.
Saturday morning members of the To-
cal camp escorted Mr.. Entenza through
the Alamo and the army camps around
the city, and following lunch a party
was formed TO take the trip TO the lake.
Dinner was prepared for them there.
A sightseeing trip is on the pro-
gram for Sunday morning, and in the
afternoon there is TO be an entertain
ment in the ballroom of the Gunter
Hotel, in which many of the comrades
of the local camp will take part Mr..
Entenza will leave Sunday night for
New Orleans. where he will hold
meeting before proceeding TO Wash
ington in the interest of the equal
standard" bill for all veterans. He is
assured of the support of the bill which
is now before both houses, by most of
the congressman of the Southwest. he
said, and feels confident that it will
receive favorable action at the next
session.

STATE COULD USE
CONv|CTS IN MINE
WORK UNDER LAW
Abandonment Of Convict
Lease System Would Not
Mean Prisoners Would Be
Taken From Mines
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU |
THE AGE-HERALD

Debate in the house Friday on the
bill extending the convict lease sys-
tenn until 1927 or until the governor
is able to provide other employment
for the convicts now used in mining
coal developed the fact that the pub
lie mind has made abandonment of
the lease system and abandonment
of coal mining by convicts synony-
nous terms
An investigation OF the law pro-
viding for the abolition of the convict
lease system at the end of 1928 and
of previous practices in the handling
on convict labor in Alabama has de-
veloped the fact that the state may
continue to mine coal with convict
labor and yet discontinue the system
of leasing convicts TO coal companies.
1t has further developed the fact that
at least one administration in Ala
bama has mined coal with convict
labor without maintaining the lease
system.
The law abolishing the lease sys-
tenn does not abolish coal mining by
convict labor. 1t merely provides that
after December 81, 1923, no convicts
shall be leased to private interests.
1t goes no farther. The abolition
section is attached to a law giving
the state the right, If found prae-
( ticable, to mine coal on coal lands
( of the University of Alabama.
Would Abandon Lease System
There Is nothing in the law or in
any law now on the statute books of
Alabama which prohibits the state
from contracting with coal companies
whereby the state would send its
penal servants into the mines under
control of wardens and guards Of
the state, would mine the coal and
would deliver the coal at the mouth
of the mine to the company and
would receive a~stipulated amount for
every ton of coal mined. The estab-
lishment of this system would aban-
don the lease system. Convicts would
be under the control of state officials
and employees at all times. The COM
pany owning the mine and disposing
of the coal to consumers would have
no part whatever in the mining of
the coal.
Under the convict lease system now
used the companies receive the con-
victs at the mouth of the mine, SUI
pervise the mining of the coal and
deliver the convicts to the state at
the mouth of the mine when their
tasks have been completed. deputy
warden is required to go into the
mines with the convicts and remain
IN the mines but it is not possible
for one state official to supervise the
working of as many men as are re-
oufred to go into the mines by the
stare. therefore, to all intents and

DUNCAN POINTS OUT
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR
OF SEVERANCE TAX
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU /
THE AGE-HERALD
Montgomery Ala Ian -


Senator Duncan Of the First dis
trict tonight completed the drafting
of his bill providing for a severance
tax on all raw products taken from
the mines and streams of the state
and it will be introduced in the SEN
ate Tuesday afternoon The bill pro-
vides that the severance tax on coal,
and iron shall be three per cent OF
the gross market price and on all
other products 2 per cent.
Senator Duncan will not insist on
action on the bill at the short ses-
sion of the Legislature but will ask
consideration of the measure during
the recess in order that members or
the legislature may take action dur
ing the adjourned session which Will
begin in July.
Raw material which will be forced
to pay "a severance tax of per
cent of the gross market value If
the bill becomes a law are timber.
turpentine, oil, gas. sulphur, salts,
limestone, marble, graphite, sand,
gravel, oysters and shrimp. The bill
further provides that any other nat
tural product of the states soil and
waters shall pay a severance tax of
2 per cent:
Il do not believe a more just tax
can be proposed than a severance
tax" said Senator Duncan in dis
cussing his bill Monday evening.
Alabama is losing a great amount
every year through the cutting of
timber and the removal of other nat
ural resources. Up to this time the
state has received nothing from this
source except a small tax on coal and
iron despite the fact that values are
being removed that cannot be re-
placed. When coal and iron are
taken from Alabama they are gone
forever, therefore the state should
receive portion of the amount
which is obtained by those who
mine the coal and iron. The sever
ance tax has worked we'll in other
states and / believe the imposition
of the tax in Alabama would benefit
the state and all institutions and
would not work hardship on any
