The Bonus Demand
adventure.

The Indiana department of the American Legion
has unanimously adopted a demand for the i'm
mediate payment of the bonus.
That resolution undoubtedly represents the
necessities rather than the judgment of the majority
OF the service men.
That payment must be made by increasing the
public debt or in fiat money little to those
who have lost their jobs.
There would be no such demand if every man,
whether he be former soldier or not could find en-
poyment for his time and talents at saving wage.
The appeal for funds from the government comes
no other way of solving their personal problems.
Neither the bonus problem, nor any other, can be
solved on any sound basis until men are put back to
work at jobs for which they trained. Merely
putting men back to work on a thinly disguised dole
system of made work public improvements will
not be the permanent solution
The action of the legion in this state may be
followed by national action. In the past the legion
has not favored this payment in advance of the terms
arranged few years back for its payment in the
future.
The effect of legion Endorsement will be seen in
the December session of the congress The legion
has about two million votes They will be important
to candidates for the presidency and for congress.
The question for the legion and for all other
citizens similarly situated s-what will happen after
the bonus is paidP Where do we go from there?

Killing the Chains

The serious threat that tax as high as $3.50 per
store will be levied chains owning than ten
units suggests that the promoters do not intend to
raise money but have in mind the killing of all So
called chain enterprises
In the end, of course any such tax would be re-
hected in higher costs to the consumer
The whole trend of merchandising in the past
few years has been directed to efficiency. The first
step was taken when the department store replaced
the little shop and buying made easy by selling
q great diversity of articles under roof.
The chain store was logical development of the
and the maintenance of many stores in the same
city for the sale OF articles of neighborhood dis
tribution came into existence.
In other directions cooperative buying replaced
the actual chain and many of the individual stores
belong to voluntary organizations for the purpose
of mass buying and checking Of expense Cooperative
efforts have extended to group ownership Of whole
sale establishments
All of these changes in methods of business have
but one purpose-the lessened cost of doing business
and the consequent reduction in cost Of living
Artificial barriers to this trend can have but one
effect The cost of living will increase. The consumer
will pay times such the present, sweeping back
the ocean with broom would seem to be futile
adventure.

Just Every Day Sense
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

a MOTHER professor has made the discovery that
L A men are more loyal to each other than women
Which sounds just dandy until you get to the sub
ect of aimony. And that is something else for the
gentlemen to explain.
The way men on the bench slap other men into
jail because they can't scrape up the same weekly
amount for the exwfe that they raised in 1929 is
Of the strangest forms of male loyalty.
The American law says, as you know, that man
not be imprisoned for debt, but the judges fout
that over and by putting in the contempt OF
court clause
The court orders blood to be drawn from the
turnip and when no blood is forthcoming, why the
urnp goes to Jail and the taxpayers feed it. and the
ex-wife gets along the best she can
Moreover, so long as the man power of this United
l. O. is about like that of the vegetable above
toned.
4 LINIONY is one of our most dourishing rackets
L n The lawyers get a rakeof. The men are the
goats
Not that am in favor of men evading their re-
SponSibilities at all But lover of simple justice
and sympathizer of the downtrodden, am moved
to protest think every father should support his
children, legitimate or illegitimate.
But do not believe that any man should be forced
to pay continuous stipend to any woman who does
not think he is fit to live WITH especially if she has
sought the divorce.
there be any, unless she has married rich man and
lived with him so short a time that she herself can
not have contributed in any fashion to the amasSing
of the wealth.
am aware, too that in some instances change
In the present alimony laws may work hardship or
few worthy women
Nevertheless, plain justice pleads now for the men
who are smarting under the same kind Of tyranny
that Ogethorpe and his followers came to the colonies
to escape.

Gold Dust

TINE oil comes up from a depth
Il Of Seventy-five fathoms, along
with sand and mud, and covers a
considerable area, Commander Lu-
kehs says.
THE oil spring was known to
mariners many years before the oil
prospector appeared on the scene
and brought in the great oil fields
that today exist in this vicinity"
he continues.
Another oil spring occurs in the
Santa Barbara channel, a short dis
lance west Of the city of Santa Bar
bara. Here the --nen Of petroleum
was so strong that the adjacent
point was named Coal Oil Point
Professor Davidson, who made
the early surveys, stated that the
smell Of petroleum was almost over
poWering and penetrated every part
of a steamer which required about
ten minutes to run through the
coil oil-laden atmosphere.
The ocean bottom, as is well
known, varies from place to place,
being sand in one locality, mud in
another, shells in third, and so on.
At one place in Alaska the bottom
contains gold dust. This occurs
about eighteen miles southeast Of
Juneau in Stephens passage and at
depth of about six hundred feet.
Many prospectors have looked
with greed at this indication of
gold" Commander Lukens says, "but
no one has devised a machine for
dredging at such great depth"
One dangerous feature of Alaskan
waters is the so-called pinnacle
rocks. These rocks rise to a few
feet of the surface and have been
responsible for many shipwrecks.
One, known as washington
monument rock" rises from a depth
Of 500 feet to within seventeen feet
of the surface. 1t is higher than
the Washington monument.

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor TimeS-Some one signing
himself milo" periodically warns
the taxpayer, through the Peoples
Voice, of the impending ruin of the
country through payment of COM
pensation to veterans; ending with
the usual generous splurge: "We
should and are willing to take care
of the boys who went over there and
were injured, but" etc.
Does the gentleman's insight in
to veterans affairs" extend to the
fact that high-pressure methods
were used Successfully to "Sell" the
soldiers government war risk insur-
ance-against death or injury in the
service-in policies up to $4,000

monthly, deducted from the sol
dier's pay of $1.25 a day?
Milo easily can inform himself of
the total amount of funds thus paid
in to the government by the boys
themselves, and with which Milo
and so many others are so generous.
To save Milo from total collapse,
due to the tax situation, it may be
well to state that not all the veter-
ans are in the bonus army at Wash
ington. In spite of the fact that
corporations and individuals were
permitted to absorb the wealth of
the country, through cost-plus con-
tracts and high wages, while the
army was playing war at $1.25 a day,
quite number of the veterans now
are in position to form a section
of the "taX-ridden public" and are
not only helping Milo to pay the
cost of the war, the cost Of the adj
justed compensation act-misnamed
bonus-and other compensation, but
will help him to pay the cost of the
loan to the allies, which will be
cancelled or repudiated.

Editor Times-I know that it is
rather unusual for a woman of my
age to join the somewhat heated
dispute of the wet and dry ques-
ton, but I feel that I, too, must say
few words in defense of the decent
and clean-minded people who are
fighting such gallant fight to keer
this country above other nations
that are wet and submerged with
laWlessness and poverty.
I say, without tremor, that pro-
hibition is accomplishing every

lished homes, purchased automobiles

Ject open for discussion.
The stakes tremendous, delay is hazardous.
Sixty days Of depression in the latter part of 1882
will be more devastating than six months in the
latter part Of $780,"
So the country knows what Borah thinks. But it
is more entitled to know what the nominees think.
The question is too vital to be evaded it is being
eyaded, for reasons Of political expediency.
Every one who has spent even the slightest amount
OF time on the subject knows that this is a prob
lem which must be dealt with if the world is to re-
gain its economic equilibrium: That to deal with it
is matter of conference with the other nations in
volved; that there, is solution, ready-made at
hand; that one must be worked out; and that time
is vital
Since the two great parties met in convention and
phrased their platforms, the developments at Lau-
same have occurred They have changed the whole
picture. Yet from the two high places to which we
are justified in looking for leadership we have Moth

ously, they frequently estimate the
amount of sleep at much less than
it really is.
However, it is quite certain the
aged are able to use much less
sleep than vigorous. active people,
and it is not desirable to get them
into the habit of taking sedative
drugs
It is likely, according to Sir
Humphrey Rolleston, that excess
sive sleep is more harmful to
them than too little.
The mind becomes much more
easily fatigued in old age than in
middle age.
Gradually the power of affec-

because they have become habitu-

The Civilized World Has Set

Combat the War Tradition
and Wonders Why It Does
Not Work Any Better.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-There is
IN martial music in Asuncion, the
capital of Paraguay, and in La Paz,
the capital of Bolivia. 1t Isl about
the same kind of music, and has
about the same effect on its hearers.
Men cheer, women weep, boys en-
list, and old soldiers spin yarns.
1t all goes back to a dispute over
land-rather worthless land, which
each country could get along with
out, or which easily could be di-
vided between them. Few pay at
tention to that, least of all those
who will do the fighting.
There has been long argument
to no purpose. The people of each
country have been encouraged to

study the issue. what more could

War Debts. Borah and the Nominees


While the two presidential nominees dodge the

Borahs.
The Hoover administration has insisted, up to

revision from any world economic conference. That
is like excluding the pulse temperature, and the
lungs from an examination of pneumonia case
Franklin D. Roosevelt deals with the war debts by
saying I'VE shall not have to cancel them if we are

Set Up Paper Machine

TINE League of Nations calls
l. upon Paraguay and Bolivia to
make a peaceful adjustment, and
that sounds fine, until one recalls
how the League of Nations called
on Japan and China to do the same
one year ago.
The civilized world has set up a
paper machine to combat the war
tradition, and wonders why it
doesn't work any better. If our at
titude were honest, we would per-
ceive the absurdity of it.
People simply can't look back on
the past and believe that the main
tenance of peace is possible without
some powerful agency. The idea of
replacing all the armies and navies
with a court or a league which
hasn't even so much as a constable
to back it up is ridiculous.
Until we are ready to put teeth
IN the peace movement, no one is
going to trust it.
Paraguay and Bolivia merely are
running true to form, doing what
nations have done since history be-
gan, and doing it in the same old
way.
Tomorrow, or the next day, some
other nations will be doing it, and
it will continue, until civilization is
ready to establish a substitute suf-
ficiently strong and sufficiently
practical to challenge popular con-
fidence.
