WHEN ACTUARIES DISAGREE

The actuary Of the Treasury De-
partment and the expert Of the Vet
rams Bureau are only two and a
half billion dollars apart in their es-
Inmates Of what the bonus insuran ce
bill passed by the House will cost the
American people, if it becomes a
law
IL is not for mere layman to ven.
ture an opinion as to which is near
cr the truth, but there is certainly
too wide variation in the esti
mates.
Joseph Mccoy, the Treasury ac-
tuary, has made reputation for
himself by the accuracy of his pre-
dictions about Treasury receipts and
is an actuary Of accepted authority.
On the other hand the Veterans
Bureau ought certainly to have re-
liable data on which to base calcu-
/ latiOns five years after the Armis
ticc.
Yet Mr.. Mccoy estimates the aver
age bonus due the service men, on
the basis OF dollar day for ONE
service and Sl.25 a day for service
overseas, at $59G.32 1-2; whereas II.
4. Brown, the Bureau actuary, plac-
es this average figure at only 1882
The endowment insurance policies
which it is proposed to issue in lieu
OF cash bonus would be calculated
IN each case on the amount of 'ad-
Justed compensation due
II appears that Mr.. Mccoy in his
estimate allowed for the interest the
Government would have to pay on
the cost of the bonus. Mr.. Brown
took no account Of the interest item,
on the theory that there would al
ways be Il Treasury surplus to take
care Of the payments. This is the
same easy theory on which the
House worked, when it passed the
bill without giving heed to the quest
ION Of how the bonus money is to |
be raised. |
1t is plain that the Treasury sur |
plus is destined to disappear
whether by tax reduction or by cx-
cessive Congressional spending. In
deed, the House had already passed |
IA tax reduction bill that would in
volve deficit next year of some IS
million dollars. In any event, in
terest on what the Government
spends on the bonus would seem to
be reasonable item in the cost.
Inc experts ought to get together
and arrive at as accurate an estimate
OF the bonus cost as possible. A
spread of two and a half billions, or
more than the whole amount of the
smaller estimate, is really too much
to be tolerated. The Senate should
INSIST on more definite figures be-
fore it Minneapolis journal.
