wide Difference
IN ESTIMATES COST.
SOLDIER BONUS BILL

Washington, March 24-Member of
congress were confronted today with
two sets Of estimates, differing by
nearly $4,000. 100000 on the cost Of
the soldier bonus bill passed by the
house.
Chairman Smoot of the senate fin
ance committee made pubic esti-
mates prepared by Joseph Mccoy,
government actuary, showing the bill
would cost the government 1885,
750,0s7.
Chairman Green Of the house ways
and means committee, who had said
the bill would cost $2,114,000,000 on
the basis of estimates of veterans
bureau actuaries, Immediately char
acterized the treasury estimate as
absurd"
The two estimates differed princi-
pally in the figures on the average
length of service and the average
amount of adjusted compensation
which would be due. Mr.. Smoot said
the estimates of Mr.. Mccoy were
figured on the basis assumed by the
house in figuring its estimates Eek
cept that the real average service
period Of those entitled to a bonus
is used
The Mccoy estimate figured tie
average length Of service at 800 days
and the average amount Of adjusted
compensation due a veteran on the
and SIPS a day for overseas service
at $59S.32 1-2. This calculation was
based on the assumption that the
service of those who were enlisted for
more than ITO days was fifty per cent
overseas.
The veterans bureau estimate
placed the average amount of ad-
justed compensation due at 1882.
Mr.. Green declared this difference
was the, basic error in the treasury
estimate" He explained that the bill
limited payments for those who serv-
ed the maximum time to $500 for
home service and 1925 for overseas
service.
Assuming. therefore" Mr.. Green
| declared, that one half Of the vet
Grams served the maximum time
overseas, and such is not the case.
and that everyone of the veterans is
entitled to the maximum amount Of
adjusted. service credit. the average
would then be only $562.50 against
the $59632 IL estimated by the
treasury"
Whereas the house figures esti-
mated the average policy would be
worth $962. the Mccoy figures placed
this valuation at $1434.
The estimates presented in the
house figured the amount due de-
pendents of veterans who had died
since the war at $5O,31S.772. while
Mr.. Mccoy estimated $1O0,6O7 ,5l7
for such payments.
The treasury actuary figured that
administration of the bill would cost
S172, 100000 of which $2O,OOOOOO
would be spent in the first year. The
total cost in the first year, the fig
ured. would be $1S1,907 .521. where
as the veterans bureau estimates
placed this figure at $135,OOO.OOO.
The cost OF the 20-year endow-
ment life insurance policies with
out administration expenditures. is
figured by Mr.. Mccoy at 50. $50. 343, :
100. against $2.025, SS9.696 in the
other estimate.
1.-THE proposal of the house BILL
Chairman Smoot said, "is for the
government to pay at the beginning
of each year 1894 for each $1,000
of insurance issued, for 20 years.
This 1894 per annum, by judicious
investment upon the part of the gov
eminent, must amount to $1,000 upon
maturity of each certificate. either
death or time maturity.

scene nowadays, because of the advent
of the automobiles, was a runaway
in town on Tuesday morning, last,
when two horses geared to a dear
born made wild dash from the cool
ing station, while the owner Harper
Lyman, was standing nearby waiting
for his empty cans to be delivered
back to him. The animals dashed up
creamery street and in making the
turn at the intersection of Gray street
demolished the wagon. The horses
were caught further down the street.
At the corner where the REYNOLDS
garage is located the runaway passed
through line of waiting automobiles,
without touching a machine, but had
a very close shave in this remarkable
stunt.

whenever the tides favor them. I'M
partial consideration shows that many
persons participate in newspaper
polls who could not cast a real vote
in the elections. There are many
constitutional Disqualification which
are not considered in the free and
easy "straw votes" In these affairs,
you may vote as often as your whims
dictate, but in reality, the election
laws prohibit "~repeaters." Of those
who possess the electoral franchise,
the leaders of today are openly court
ing the %neutrals or Independents who
DO not attach themselves to any
party.
An %unvarnished statement by the
real leaders would reveal the fact
that concern is manifested over the
splitting of ballots because of state
issues. Everybody admits that dan
ger turks in this form Of party ir-
regularity for the average person is
fearful of losing his ticket through
unintentional errors in marking the
ballot. Just now many public men
take it upon themselves to be the
oracle of their party. 1t is a fair
conjecture that they are deceiving
nobody.
