GERAN FAVORS
SOLDIER BONUS
Issues Statement on Eve of
Departure for Washington
for Opening of Congress
AMEND 18TH AMENDMENT
For Waterway Development
and Legislation to Relieve
Pollution of Waters
18TH AMENDMENT

Congressman Elmer Geran, of
Matawan, who takes his seat in con-
gress for the first time since his cleo
tion last year where the session
opens next Monday at Washington,
has made a short statement on the
eve of his departure for the capital
explaining his stand on the soldiers
bonus, prohibition, waterway mat
ters and other issues Of interest to
the people.
New jerseys new congressman
from the third district endorses thu
soldiers bonus, tax reduction, en-
forcement of the eighteenth amend
ment and the Volstead act, increase
in wages of postal employees an ap-
preparation for the development of
the Port of Monmouth, Perth Am
boys water facilities, development
of the inland waterway from Morgan
to Bordentown and enactment OF
special legislation to relieve the pol =
luton of coastal waters.
Mr.. Geran said that he is in hearty
accord with any move to secure a
bonus for the soldiers. 81 most GER
tainly favor a bonus for soldiers" "
said Mr.. Geran, "and l shall vote
for such measure" -~-.5.,,ss- -sgt
Discussing the matter of tax re-
duction, Mr.. Geran said that he
would like to see a cut in taxes, but
does not believe that any reduction
in taxes depends upon elimination
of a soldier bonus.
without having any information
as to the details of the tax prob
lem" Mr.. Geran continued, 81, like
everyone else, would like to see the
taxes reduced as much as compata-
BILE with the needs of efficient gov
ernment, but see no reason why any
tax reduction depends upon the de-
ferment of bonus bill"
Although the matter of enforce
ment of the eighteenth amendment
and Volstead act lies largely with
the federal government, Mr.. Geran
maintained that the state, county
and municipal governments are not
relieved in any sense from bearing
part of the burden.
'It is a federal problem" said Mr..
Geran. 1.-The government should
function through every federal in
strument-such as internal revenue,
customs, courts and prosecutor-for
the enforcement of the constitution
al amendment and Volstead act.
Simply because it is federal law
does not limit the enforcement to
the federal authorities. 1t is the law
of the land and thus it becomes the
DUTY of state, county and municipal
authorities, who are generally
charged with the enforcement of the
laws, to use their utmost efforts to
enforce this and other laws.
"The. present enforcement by the
federal governm ent," continued Mr..
Geran, "I believe, as almost all other
ordinary citizens. is almost a failure
and as President Harding said: In
plain speaking there are conditions
relative to its enforcement which
SAVIOR of national scandal. 1t Is the
most demoralizing factor in our pub
lie life" j.,
Postal employees, Mr.. Geran said,
should not only receive living
wage, but should receive compensa-
ton flair" for their services. He
said he favored a $2,4OO yearly
salary.
