cost comes out of the federal taxes,
largely from the federal income tax
paid by $4,000 persons who have an

income, or profits, totalled &, 309, 000,-

GRAMS Of that community received from
the government 5000 per month, or
t24oQo for the year. In city Of 5000
it would be $1,000 per month.
"As a matter Of cold fact, the
amount is much larger, because such
disabled veterans naturally reside in
the towns and cities. A careful survey
made recently of typical American
city of about 10000 population Jingle
wood, Calif) revealed that the dis
abled veterans residing there receive
approximately $1,000 per month. If
that ratio would hold good throughout
all towns and cities, then the one of
10000 population would get $4,000 pei
month, or $4,000 per year.
Does this money mean anything tc
the merchants, to the doctors, the den
tists-yes, and to the bankers, school
teachers taxpayers and laborers? O
course it does, because they woulc
miss that money each month and eacf
