AND NOW THE CASH BONUS

The cash bonus bill introduced
by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts
proves that the bonus bill recently
enacted was only the opening
wedge in the fight for large
bonuses. President Coolidge. in
his veto message, told the country
that already suggestions were be-
ing made for cash bonus to fol-
low the insurance grant: and those
suggestions will now become
stronger and stronger.
Who wants the insurance bonus?
Ask any veteran if the new law
suits him. The chances are 10 to
l that you will find it leaves him
cold. The insurance plan was en-
gineered by professional leaders Of
the veterans in order to put the
country on record as toFerating d
bonus. Now that the bonus prin-
ciple is approved, the real fight
starts.
What tihese professional leaders
want is cash bOnuses-all the cash
they can get as soon as they can
get it. Already Senator Walsh
proposes to amend a bonus law
which is not yet dry. He wants
the law to provide that those who
want cash instead of insurance can
take it that way.
Obviously the cash Obtainable
under the amended law would be
much less than the professional
leaders Of the veterans are hoping
for. The bonus principle has been
approved. Now they want to have
the cash principle approved. l,
they succeed. they will start new

A Woman Governor.

The election in Texas of Mrs. Miriam Fer
guson, democratic candidate for governor, is
significant of the great change which has
taken place in American politics since the
adoption of the constitutional amendment
granting suffrage to women. 1t shows that
a woman, regardless of her sex, may be &C
corded a high honor and entrusted with a
great responsibility, that the people OF a
state may acknowledge leadership in a diff
ferent guise than that of masculinity.
And here is something, too, Mrs Fergu-
sons election does not Indicate that the state
of Texas will have pettcoat government. In
stead. if the delineaton of the governor
elects character has been at all accurate, the
chief executive of Texas will be confidently
expected to administer the office in a way
both courageous and efficient Not yet has
the cry been raised in Texas that the cleo
ton of Mrs. Ferguson meant weakening
of the executive branch of the government
lust because the governor-elect is a woman.
Women throughout the country now have
before them an opportunity for political SER
vice that will contribute to the good of the
nation if properly exercised. The only CON
tingency is whether they bring themselves
to realization of that opportunity and take
advantage of it. But the chance is theirs. AS
to that there is no question.
In the last few years many women have
been elected to office Some have become
MAYORS. Others have gone to congress. Here
and there a woman sheriff could be seen oc-
cupying an office that hitherto had been re-
garded as impossible for anyone but man.
And in nearly all cases the women office
holders have discharged the duties before
them in a way that proved the wisdom OF
those who elevated them to power. In no
cases have women office holders been found

many people as a comfortable vehicle on

1t is not observed that those who climb
upon the band wagon are limited to a class.
No man likes to feel that he is losing his
vote. A majority of voters OF any party
probably would prefer to cast ballots in &C
