entitled to their bonus.
It is an established fact that
high finance has been responsible
for all wars, but it didn't leak
out until away back at the Battle
OF Waterloo, when Rothschiid
stole away in the dead of night
and told the English people that
Wellington had been defeated and
bought up all their stocks and
bones at a trif1e.
We boys didn't cause the war,
nor did we even ask for a bo-
nus. Our congress gave it to us
and have been playing football
with it ever since. And since it
has been given, why don't they
pay what they gave?
Congress paid $500, 600. 900 to
the packers. It gave the railroads

speaks of he would have signed
his name. In the first place, all

Second, we left our jobs, with

"A Lawyer" was just a shouting
American and flag waver.
We also earned our few bucks"
a month honestly for risking our
hides to protect his kind. But
can he say the same?
1t doesn't take quits to fight
against the e~x-service men for
what is honestly due them. No,
boy, that takes money!
Anything pertaining to the good
of the service men goes in the
middle of the newspaper, but try

ice man who wants and needs his
bonus is entitled to it.
We will bet our lives that the
ones who don't need it will be the
ones to apply for it first. We
fought for our God and our coun-
try and won to make it safe for
u dear ones and citizens of this
free country to live in. So now
is the time to help the service man
and not Starve him and his family.
If the government can not pay
this bonus, why should it charge
us Az per cent when it borrows
the money for IL per cent. In
1915 how much will there be left
for the ex-service man to collect?
If the government has plenty of
money to loan foreign countries,
why doesn't the government help
its own needy? If William Wolff

country and I never got the news
from the Willard Straight Post
at New York until the morning
of April 8. 1 would like for some
good post to write me and tell me
what the American Legion is.
This fellow, was a Shavetail,
and we had lots of that kind of
men in the service. He must have
a couple of hundred in the bank
and thinks he Is a millionaire.
If the Legion wants its COM
rades to stay with it, it should
court-martial him and lead him
to the whipping post. The war
was a one-sided affair. The poor
were in and the rich were out.
That is who is fighting our bonus.
Now I feel that what bonus L
have coming is mine, and l am
entitled to it for the service l
did for the United States.
7 can't forget Representative
Patman Dem, Tex.) He has
been a man from beginning to
ending, as has Maurice Stemfer,
New York. These two realize
what war is, and I think they
are men who want to live and let
live.
Hoover and some of the rest
make me think of a prayer my
father has told me of. God bless
me and my wife, my son John and
his wife, us four and no more"
To my comrades, n and all:
No matter what the politics, vote
for the man who votes for us,
for you can see what Willard
Straight post is doing for you
now. Don't forget Hoover, for he
said he would veto the bill if 1t
passed.

A Soldier
Speaks for
the Bonus

Sapped us on the backs in 1917 and said. Boys, nothing will be too
good for you when you get back"
The ex-servce men who are urging passage Of this bill would be
the last to want an expenditure Of this magnitude had it not been
That our congress saw fit to give millions of dollars to European coun-
tries which did not appreciate it and which will not be satisfied until
the whole debt owing us is cancelled; and other millions to bankers
OF this country from whom it Is impossible for those needing money to
borrow 10 cents.
/ am proud of the fact that I served twentyfour months overseas,
and that my service record shows that I was under shell fire for thir-
teen months on as many fronts, with the First division.
The men who oppose this soldier payment are the les who prof-
tied most by that war, and 1 as sure I would hesitate to FIGHT their hat
ties again for all the glory to be gained.
1 commend the past commander of the Columbus Legion nos for
having nerve enough to voice the true sentiments of IS per cent of the
legion membership. Only good will come from the passage of this bonus
payment, and 1 trust that our congressman will see the light.

INDIANA VETERAN EXPRESS VIEWS ON BONUS BATTLE

EDITOR TIMES-It is amusing to note the stations in
IL life held by those who have voiced opposition to the
so-called soldiers bonus bill" now before congress. In
every instance these circumstances have come from ply
scians. lawyers, bankers and brokers-the very type Of men who have
no conscience when it comes to extracting the last greenback from the
purse Of a destitute family.
A check would show that If any Of these men served overseas they
were so far back Of the lines that they did not know a war was in prog
ress. The assertion made by numerous men, starting with our Presi-

at the stand you are taking, hold
ing up for the moneyed man. I
wonder if you have the nerve to
print this answer to a lawyer:
I wonder If you are one of the
brave boys who stayed at home,
had a soft job, and made big
money while the towards took a
chance of being a target for the
enemy bullets. Left mothers,
wives, children and all, not know
ing whether they would come back
or not, and We thought it would
be a glory to make the country
safe for men like you.
My husband has not worked for
two years and the bonus would be
a GodSend to us, but there are so
many like you I am afraid we
won't get it. But if you thought
there was any danger Of another
war, you would be out shaking
hands and patting the "so-called
patriots" on the back.

you who made your fortune while We defended you, keep your mouths
shut and let the boys who deserve it get it?
What has Hoover done for us? What has Stevens done for us?
Nothing. I am a Republican, have been for thirty-two years, but
never again, as long as We have a bunch like we have now.
Watch the change of our next election, if this bill is passed by the
house. See who the boys are for. They don't forget. Never.
1 think Stevens is a poor, very poor legionnaire. How did he ever
get in? Why don't they throw him out, as they did his friend in North
Carolina?
The money lies there to pay us off. Why don't they pay it? I'll
tell you. About fifty men are running this country. All money men.
None saw any service in the blood fields of Flanders.
They're just a bunch of punks, green from the start, and our Presi-
dent listens to them. They're getting our bonus, little by little, from
the interest.
If your paper is for the hard-up men and their families, then show
your grit and publish this for the benefit of our lads who fought through
blood, rain, and slum to protect the lives of the rich. Perhaps some
day We'll have another war, and, as I said, we never forget.

WISCONSIN MAY BE REPLACED
AS u. S. POLITICAL LABORATORY
Farmer-Laborites Outline Proposals to
Make Minnesota an Experimental
Ground of Economic Legislation.
BY the Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS, November 21.-
Minnesota may replace Wisconsin aS
the Nations political laboratory.
Assured of control of the State gov
eminent, Farmer-Laborites nave CUT
lined proposals they hoped to write into
the State constitution and statute books
making Minnesota an experimental
ground in the field of social and eco
nomic legislation.
Crosses Mississippi.
In the IA years since its birth. the
Farmer-L Labor party has repeatedly
gone across the Upper Mississippi into
its neighboring States to obtain fundar-
mentals Of its political philosophy.
Many of its specific legislative proposals
with public ownership as a dominant
note have come from the progressive
Republican ideaology Of the La Fol-
lettes.
Now with the La Toilette forces
stripped of State power in Wisconsin S
turn to the Democratic party, Mime
sofas swing to the left provides Farm
er-Laborites with q mighty legislative
arm for the first time. Its program,
long pigeon-holed for such DAY. will
come out for its first thorough airing
at the next legislative session opening
In January.
State control came with reelection OF
Gov Floyd B. Olson. election of a
lieutenant governor, attorney general,
railroad commissioner and a majority
of the State House of Representatives,
with an even split in the State Senate,
most Of whose members are holdovers.
Five of the States nine Representa-
tives in Congress will be members of
the party also represented by United
States Senator Henrik Shipstead and
Mayors of three of the States largest
cities, Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Rochester
The party is pledged to work for a
constitutional change to permit intro
duction of the Ontario system of pub
lie development and administration of
electric power and light. Its plat
form advocated this project as "a
means to make the source of power of
the future, mans servant and helper
and not his oppressor and master as
Is now the case"

State Representative, said he would re-
