this vote on the bonus bill, have been
sounded out by the proponents Of the
measure and for the most part have
the bonus.
SO unless there would be a change
Of heart on the part of the veterans
themselves-and there is no present
indication OF that-or unless there
should be radical changes on the part
of senators. the passage OF soldiers
bonus or adjusted compensation bill
may be regarded as a certainty.
In his message vetoing the bonus
bill President Harding said that he
regretted to sound a note of dis
appointment to the many ex-service
men who have the impression that
1t Is as simple a matter for the gov
ernment to bestow billions in peace
as it did billions in war" And fur
ther along in his message: THE SIM
pie truth of the matter is that this
bill proposes a government obliga-
tion of more than $4,000. .0Oo, 900 with
out a provision OF funds for the ex-
traordinary expenditure, which the
executive branch OF the government
must finance in face of difficult f1nan-
cial problems and the complete de-
economies"
Conditions Better.
About q month ago tho Secretary of
tho Treasury. Mr.. Mellon. estimated
that tho surplus In the Treasury ut
the close Of the fiscal year, June 80,
1923, would be In the neighborhood
Of s125,000,00o. It is possible that
these figures will have to be revised
somewhat. But the report of the i'm
proved condition Of the Treasury i'm
mediately gave rise to suggestions
that a reduction of the tax burden
on the American people would follow
as soon as Congress could get on
the job next fall.
But if the soldiers adjusted COM
pensation bill is to be enacted the
not appear so bright. II the ex-
service men are to receive their ad-.
justed compensation as proposed, with
an estimated obligation Of $4,000, ,o0o,-
900 on the Treasury, the surplus of
$125,oo0.e 600 now expected will be of
small avail The argument is made
by supporters of the bonus that the
first year will take a comparatively
small amount and that the payments
will be distributed over a long period.
But, as a matter of fact. this is
largely a matter Of guesswork.

With New Personnel Changes, Is
View of Measures Friends.
THE passage by Congress of an
adjusted compensation bill for

THE passage by Congress of an
adjusted compensation bill for
the men who served in the
world war by the next Con-
Gress seems today as certain as death
and taxes. Already old members of
Congress are preparing again the
bills which they introduced at the
last Congress or are writing new
bills and newly elected members are
preparing new bills.
With an election-a national cleo
tion-looming on the horizon for the
fall OF 1924; with the American Le-
gion and other soldier and sailor
organizations clamoring for the
bonus, there does not seem the slight
est chance Of the measures failing to
get through with or without the ap-
proval of the President. It will be
remembered that the adjusted COM
pensation bill passed both houses of
Congress in 1922 and was vetoed by
the President and that the House
passed the bill over the Presidents
veto by a very considerable vote,
while the Senate by a narrow mar
gin sustained the vote.
But in the next Congress the situ-
alton is going to be changed. In the
Senate, according to the latest esti-
mates, there will be at minimum
seventy senator's who will vote for
the bonus bill, even over a presi-
Dental veto-more than the neces-
sary two-thirds to pass a bill not
w1thstanding tho veto Of the chief
executive. In the House It 10 esti-
mated that the vote for the bonus
and that It would be passed by q
very large vote over a presidential
veto.
In the last House only seventy-four
members opposed the veto out of
membership OF 435. and nineteen of
those men who opposed the veto
were not returned by the voters at
the polls.
Many Of the senators who voted to
sustain the Presidents veto of the
bonus bill also fell by the wayside
in the elections of 1922. Among them
were du Point of Delaware, Calder Of
New York, France OF Maryland, New
of Indiana and Frelinghuysen of New
Jersey. Others who have retired are
Myers Of Montana and Williams Of
Mississippi, who were not candidates
to succeed themselves. and Newberry
of Michigan, who resigned months
ago.
Vote Was A to IS.
The vote in the Senate by which
the Presidents veto was sustained
was Al to %, with "a not voting. but
most Of the senators paired for and
against the measure. The Presidents
veto was sent to Congress under date
Of September 10. 1922, and was acted

IL may be that at the same time the
legion will recommend the form of
legislation, but whether the same
congress or some new form is yet to
be determined. At the convention
held in New Orleans last year the
legion twice voted unanimously for
adjusted compensation legislation.
There are approximately 1000 posts
of the American Legion throughout
the country. Each post elects it's
delegates to the state conventions
and at the state conventions dele
gates to the national convention are
elected. The delegates undoubtedly
Will be instructed on the subject of
the adjusted compensation LEGISLATION
at the time of their election.
President Harding and Secretary
Mellon have in the past strenuously
opposed soldier bonus LEGISLATION on
the ground that the federal Treasury
could not stand it; that the govern
ment was pledged to economy In all
expenditures in the hope that even
tually it would be possible to tighten
the tax burden upon the people. This
tax burden has been lifted and shift
ed to a certain extent, but it is still
heavy.
President Feels Same.
No official pronounoement has come
from either tho President or Secre-
tary Mellon in recent months in re-
gard to the proposed adjusted com
pensation for the ex-service men. II
has been intimated at tho White
House. however, that the President
has not changed his attitude in re-
gard to tho matter. That there will
be tremendous pressure brought to
bear upon the Chief Executive, both
for and against the bonus measure
when it is next brought up in Con-
CESS goes without saying. The
democrats have chided the republi-
cans with breaking faith with the ex-
service men in the past, and un-
doubtedly they will continue such
criticisms. There will be many in
tho republican ranks who. fearing the
effect Of continued opposition to thu
bonus on the part Of the head Of the
republican party, az the President IL
and undoubtedly will be in the next
campaign, will urge the President
not again to interpose a veto, If the
bill passes Congress. In fact, they
will urge that with the make up Of
the new Congress. a veto would be
idle. The President, however, has
shown great firmness in the past in
dealing with the soldier bonus uues-
tion, A question undeniably charged
with unlimited political dynamite,
and he may be expected to do so in
the future. unless there should be
changed conditions In the finances OF
the country which would. in his opin-
ion. warrant the grant of the bonus
within tho next year
The appropriations made by Con-
CESS hitherto for the disabled ex-
service men have run into the hun
dreds of millions and thousands of
millions.
That these appropriations for men
disabled as result Of the war will
continue to grow from year to year
seems inevitable. There should be
no hesitancy to provide amply for the
disabled soldiers and sailors and mono
