Happy Childhood DAYS.

Back to our happy childhood days
We turn with glee intense

To dances rather primitive
We brought a guileless grace.
To music we've contrived to give
A nursery jingle pace.
We shun all thought Of grief or guile.
The fashions may allow
Us A B c blocks after while;

Washington, ID. C.. March 20.-
President Coolidge probably will sigr
the endowment policy insurance bill
just passed by the House for the bene-
fit of soldiers and sailors who parti-
cipated in the European war, provided
the Senate does not materially alter
the measure.
The President was opposed to q
bonus bill that the government could
not afford and he particularly ex
pressed his antipathy toward the pay
ment of funds to the able-bodied. The
new bill in large part takes care of
1.-THE veterans when they are approach
ing old age. or when they are in acute
sneed. 1t is bill to relieve possible
distress and not a measure that will
permit the ex-service men to "frittern
away the funds given them as argued
by the opponents of large cash out
LAY.
The principle of the insurance bill
is SO different from previous measures
passed by Congress and vetoed by the
chief executive that Mr.. Coolidge
can consistently sign it. The Amer
{ lean Legion favors the bill. The total
cost to the government is slightly
more than $1,000, 100000 spread over
a period of 20 years and the an
nual appropriations are already avail
!, able because Congress has been au-
tborizing about S100,000,000 for voca-
tional training that comes to an end
shortly. So the existing budget con-
{ tains the funds, the total cost is not
conjectural as has heretofore been the
case, 81 per cent of the ex-service men
will be alive to enjoy the benefits of
; the insurance, according to the esti-
Z mates of insurance experts who have
. been able in the past TO figure out
mortality tables. and the families Of
those veterans who have died since the
war will Immediately get the benefit
of the insurance payments.
& Has Sinking Fund.
The reason why the new measure
will not make q serious financial bur
den is the introduction of the sinking
fund. In other words, the maximum
annual appropriation will be S110,'
SIG, J64, while the minimum outlay
for any one year will be 500, S35, $3.50
Such sums as that when set aside
annually grow larger and larger be.
cause the interest on the sums invested
constantly increases. The idea is abb
solutely sound because it has been
demonstrated in the case of private in
suraDce companies who invest the
!. premiums paid by individuals and yet
the number of persons who die an
nually is not equal to the number
who carry insurance, The law of
probability and mortality takes care
I of the insurance company just as sure
~ as it will take care of the govern
ment's sinking fund.
The government will give the vet
Gran the opportunity that private in
surance companies give to borrow on
( an insurance police when in need.
3 No loan can exceed 90 per cent of the
preserve value of the loan for the cur
2 rent year of the certificate or 60 per
scent of the face value at any time.

The veteran who borrows on his in.
surance certificate at the bank and
fails 10 pay the amount back 10 the
bank will find it expensive to recover
the full value of the policy when he
comes TO redeem it.
The banks will be privileged TO GO
10 the Veterans Bureau in case of de-
fault and receive the amount they
have lent to the veteran with the ac-
cumulated interest, but when the vet
eran tries to redeem defaulted certi-
ficate he will have to pay g per cent
interest, compounded annually. This
was arranged so as TO discourage vet
Grams from borrowing on their certi-
ficates and failing TO pay up. The
number Of defaulted certificates will
not be large, according to the esti-
mates thus far made, and the Veter-
ans Bureau will be able TO take care
of the defaulted cases out of the sink
ing fund provided.
Worked Out Conseryatively.
Indeed, the whole plan is worked
out so conservatively that the govern
ment may find in few years that the
amount appropriated annually can
be cut down for the purpose of the
fund is not to make profit, but to
take care Of the needs of the yeter-
ans.
The bill provides: First, the pay
ment in cash of the adjusted service
credit TO those veterans TO whom 500
or less is due. The basis of the
credit is 81 per day for each of serv--
ice on this side of the Atlantic and
SIS per day for overseas service.
So few men were in the service 30
days or less that the sacrifice involv-
ed was considered relatively small and
the cash amounts in the aggregate will
not total very much.
Second, the dependent relatives OF
the veterans who have died will be
paid Immediately the full amount Of
the insurance policy to which the vet
Grams length of service would have
entitled him, based, of course, on a
twenty-year paid-up endowment pol
icy. The age of the veteran. of course.
is factor in determining the amount
of insurance to which he would be
entitled.
Third, the credit in no case exceeds
$500 for home service and S62J for
overseas service. The veteran receives
the equivalent of twenty-year paid
UP insurance police for the amount of
his service credit plus % per cent and
with interest compounded annually at
4 per cent. If veteran therefore is

TO STOP LOBBYISTS

Washington, ID. C., March 30
Measures for coping with what he de-
scribed as the increasing "machina-
tons" of lobbyists in Washington, in
Guiding their compulsory registration
with government agency, were. sus-
gested in an address here yesterday
by Huston Thompson. member OF the
Federal Trade Commission.
Speaking before the local society of
the Sons Of the American Revolution,
Commissioner Thompson proposed as
an effective measure for eliminating
the lobbyist, the creation of govern
ment bureau of information. In addi-
ton to acting as a guide to the puo-
lie in all matters of administrative
activities, such a bureau. he suggest

entitled to $500 the face Of his policy
would be increased by % per cent to
S625 and that sum compounded at in
tcrest of 4 per cent for twenty years
constitutes the amount of money he
would receive at the end of that pc
riod. IL he dies before the twenty
years are ND, his family receives the
full amount the veteran would have
received if he had lived through the
twenty-year period.
Can Borrow Money.
Fourth, the veteran has the privilege
of borrowing money ON his insurance
certificate and the government will in
dictate on the certificate the amounts
that can be borrowed at any one time.
More money can be borrowed as the
policy approaches the end of the
twenty-year period than at the begin
ming, for the policy will be worth
more as it nears maturity.
Fifth, security must be given for
loans made and no borrowing is per-
mitted until two years after the pas
age of the bill. Provision is made to
prevent these loans from becoming
frozen assets" at the banks.
The House ways and means commit
tee estimated that the average amount
of compensation for those who served
over 10 days (the maximum service
being $50 days. would be about $3.50.
About $14,799,4 40 would be payable
to those now living. About $40. 000,-
600 would take care of the claims of
families in which veterans have died
since the war and prior to January 1,
1924.
Some Of the cash payments may be
made during this year, but owing to
the labor involved in setting up the
machinery of administration the War
Department doesn't think it will be
able to issue certificates or make pay
ments before next January.
