 VETS TO BACK BONUS

come. It would require 2o,547 mar ried men with two children each ana an income of s4,0o0 to save the amount that one man with a s1,0o0,oo0 in- como would save under the Mellon nlap. In the lowest classes, with net incomes of sa,000 to sS,0Oo, which embrace 4,692,675 persons, the saS- ing will amount to only slf.So'"
 Advocating the bonus, MT. spanord said:
 At the beginning of the war the wage of the soldier was established at sso a month, but almost Immediately afterward prices became so inhaed that A dollar would only buy what oo cents would previously purchase.
 "The public took no interest Tn thls change so far as the soldier was con eerned. but in every other way the nation did interest itself. The nation might have well given heed, TOT N could have found q precedent as Tar back as the Revolutionary war, when what was called depreciation pay was given to the soldiers to correct differences between the cost of living 
 and their pay.
 "The men interested in winning the world war were so aisrsy that they could not look out for the change Tn value of the contents Of their pay envelopes. This was not the case with the contractor. He went to the proper officials at once and had his contract adjusted, He was in to make money ana he made it. The change in econ omic conditions was recognized Tn the case of civil employes. They were paid A bonus of SEQ a month and are sun receiving il. But the service man mas never received any commensurate ad- iustment or compensation.
 Mir. spaiford then turned to the needs Of the disabled men.
 "We have heard much recently he said. "of those who would do every thing for the disabled. What have tbey done? Nothing but talk"
 Asserting that the government re- ouired the men in it's service to make compulsory allotments and to pay their life insurance premiums. Mfr spafford said a bonus would "be just returning money taken from the meagre earrings of soldiers, taken from men who were offering their iiyes for their country" "The families of these men," he added, need the money and the government is going to return it."
New Britain herald., 1924-01-05

the exchange the soldier is entitled to receive must and will come, not from the coffers of the government but from the hearts and the minds
 of the people. and that Sthe acauit- tance which the soldier is to give in return is not treasury receipt but
 8 sense of duty well performed. '"rhe cry raised by thousands of eX- service men: For the disabled, every thing; for the able-bodied, nothing is about as fine a thing as men could do,' said the speaker. Tt points in
 the right direction. For if the soldier can give us a new standard in public service. a better role in politics: if
 he can lift the great American game above the level of eXpediency and
 personal gain; if he can help give us a political party which is not
 afraid to lose an election and breed
 of public men who are not afraid
 to lose an office, the glory of the past will not exceed that of the fu- ture.
 "The world pleads for leadership, concluded Senator Borah. America
 pleads for leadership, brave, unselfish, moral and intellectual leadership. Let us begin at home and now by taking th" ~'~'.'' +"ea sury out of politics.
 Let us give the American taxpay- q .-uou at Washington. Let
 us substitute, as indicated by this
 motto of the ex-seryice men, prin-
 ciple for appropriations And notably, let the republican party bear in mind as it takes up the task now before us
 that in politics as in mechanics the power which is to keep the engine going must be sought outside the ma chinery.'
 ..The voters who will determine the next election are insensible to the marty lash and will be unmoVed by
 party appeal. They will ask us Just
 one question: What have you done i for the common weal?"

FLYING FIELD, SANTA MONICA.
Calf, Feb. 29.-Compact and safe
on land or sea are the aircraft in
which United States army flyers
will hop off from here sometime
next month and seek to girdle the
world.
1t will be a freak Of luck far be-
yond expectation If SO much as a
single part OF the planes which
starts the journey is in use when
the epochal journey is completed.
But unwilling to gamble with
Lady Luck" duplicate parts are
being shipped by the Douglas Air
craft Corporation to the various
foreign countries where the flyers
are scheduled to stop.
The flying distance will be ap-
proximately 10000 miles, although
the circumference Of the world Is
$4,000 miles.
Plans For Reconstruction.
The machines will be, it is esti-
mated, fully one quarter rebuilt by
the time they reach French. Indo
China. From that point on the
deterioration willo be considerably
more rapid, and it is predicted that
somewhere along the romantic
shores Of the Persian Gulf, the last
Of the original parts will be dis
carded.
This deterioration is due to the
continuous and heavy vibration Of
the powerful engines on the neceS-
earily frail framework.
The flying time is estimated at
$500 hours, and supply depots hold.
ing approximately 10000 gallons Of
gasoline have been set up in the
Aleutian islands, Japan, China,
Burma, England and other coun-
tries to be crossed.
The test airplanes, the actual air.
planes to make the flight and all
duplicate parts were made in an
unobtrusive little factory on the
outskirts of Santa Monica.
The factory was once a motion

sign of it to indicate to a passer.

Inventor Young and Modest.
The inventor of this specific type
Of air and seaplane, and the man
who won the Government contract
against large field of competition,
is D. w. Douglas. He is only
thirty-one years Of age and is a
''home town boy" having been born
In Los Angeles. He is a modest
young man and didn't think he
had a photograph of himself any,
where" but happened to remember
that ''some newspaper photographer
once took picture. Of him but he
didn't know how it came out be-
cause he never saw it."
Douglas was graduated from the
Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology, in Boston. He was an ex-
perimental engineer for the signal
corps during the war, but was
never in the aviation section. Yes,
he had been up in the airplanes,
he said, though 1 don't care much
