The $50 bonus paid to veteran:
at the time of their discharge from
the service is deducted from any
compensation they would receive.
The compensation basis is 81 day
for service on home soil, or slips q
day for service overseas; none of this
is to be paid by the government In
cash, except that cash settlement
will be made with all veterans whose
compensation credit would be $50 o,
less.
The maximum credit available to
any veteran is $500 for the man who
was not sent overseas or S625 for the
veteran who was sent out of the coun-
try.
This credit can be applied by loans
obtainable, on government certificates,
toward the purchase or Improvement
of farm or home; or applied to
provide paid up life insurance pol
icy; or applied on vocational training
or applied on the purchase of land
for settlement under one of the rec
lamation projects which may be set
aside for the purpose by the National
Veterans Settlement Board.
The veteran may select at his op
ton, one, but only one, of these plans.
Sources of finance provided by the
Watkins bill are as follows:
1. Money in the treasury Of the
United States not otherwise appro-
priated.
2. A poll tax of $3.50 upon every
alien entering the United States for
settlement or residence for period
longer than six months; and $50
poll tax annually upon every alien
already a resident of the United
States.
8. A tax of 2 per cent per year
upon the gross income of every for
eign corporation in the United States.
a. Under revision Of the inheri-
lance tax embodied in the revenue
act of 1921, a tax upon the net
value of estates of persons dying at
ter the act is passed, ranging from
1 per cent up to 40 per cent of estates
in excess of $1O,O00,000.
5. An excess profits tax ranging
from 5 per cent of net incomes ex-
ceeding 10 per cent of the capital
and up to 20 per cent, to 20 per cent
of the amount of net income in excess
of 33 per cent of the capital. This
tax applies to corporations, partner
ships and individuals in all trade,
of business, with minor exceptions.
The bill provides for the repeal by
Congress of the taxes levied for adj
justed compensation when sufficient
revenue for carrying out the provi-
sions of the act has been raised.
Of these sources of revenue enum-
Grated above, the alien admission tax.
the ALLEN poll tax and the foreign
corporation tax are the only new
sources created. The excess prof
tax and the Inheritance tax are mere
ly revisions of existing sources.

KTDNAPERS STAY
RICH CHICAGO BOY

Chicago.-AlOng a grass-grown In
dian trail near the Indiana state line
the nude and crumpled-up body of
stuffed into the drain pipe of rail
road culvert, brought to light the
strangest and most battling homicide
in Illinois criminology.
The victim was Robert Franks, son
of Jacob Franks, millionaire manufac-
turer, living at 5O52 Ellis avenue
His body, bearing slight wounds
about the head, bruises of construction
about the neck and an injury to lung
that puzzled physicians, was found at
8 rs a. M
At just about that moment his ia
Their was tearing open a special deliv-
cry letter from a writer who clothed
hisianonymity in the signature George
Johnson"
Written with as much regard for its
diction and literary value as its clar-
ity, the letter demanded that Mr..
Franks pay $4,000 for the safety of
his son, kidnapped, the letter said, the
night before.
But when that letter was received
the lad was dead. Seven hours after
his body had been fOund-three o'clock
in the afternoon-the anonymous kid
napeFs made an attempt to collect the
money, by sending Yellow taXicab to
the Franks home for the father.
That inexplicable fact, with others
of a similar nature, and the patiently
amatuerish modus operandi of the kid
napers and slayers, tended to cause
police to minimize the kidnapping the
DRY as a hastily conceived bit of
camoufage to hide the real motive for
the crime

that the Sabbath should be your me-

that which was commanded by Gen

that both sides prayed to the same

a matter of time when each will seek
