Cuts Discussed
The speaker explained that the
Cnly expenditure which could be
cut is that of pensions to those
suffering from disabilities received
prior to 1880 and presumably re-
sulting from participation in the
World war. This legislation was op-
posed at the time of passage by the
veterans and was passed over their
opposition by both houses OF con-
gress and signed by the president
Fisher explained that all veter-
ans appropriations are made from
federal funds, derived principally
1rcm income taxes. This is tbs
source, he stated, to the opposi-
ton of veterans appropriations
because it is the wealthy persons
who pay income taxes who op Jose
expenditures for veterans. ThL ma
tional per capita tax has gradu-
ally decreased, while the state tax
has increased per capita. The
speaker stated that, if we cut gov
ernment expenditures on veterans
it will naturally increase state
county and municipal expenditures
as care must be given disabled vet
Grams. Under the present system,
said Fisher, the rich are paying
for veterans expenditures, little
comes from your purse or mine
but if these men become wards o1
the state and county we will beal
the expense directly, so it will no'
necessarily reduce taxes to reduci
government expenditures for vet
Grams. The American Legion ane
other groups of veterans do not ash
anything but that the public un'
derstand why veterans appropria
tions are being opposed and that ;
square deal be given to the veteran
his buddieS and the United States.

AID
EXPLAINED TO
LOCAL c. OF c.

Explanation Of federal appropri-
ations for veterans and how they
are expended was given at yester-
days Ell Centro Chamber OF Com
merce luncheon by George Fisher,
member of the public relations
committee, department of Califor-
mia, American Legion, before a
large group of chamber members
and eX-service men.
In his opening remarks the speak
er explained that veterans admin
istration covered all classes of vet
Grams, all wars and ali departments
OF expenditure and that the Amer
lean Legion is quoted in connec-
ton with veterans administration
because it is the veterans organi-
2ation with the largest member
ship. While the Legion desires only
tc see disabled veterans and their
dependents taken care of, accord
ing to the speaker, they are blam-
ed for abuses in veterans eXpendi-
lures in which they have no part.
" dDuSSS III lIlC GN-
penditures the Legion in 1880 de-
manded a joint investigation by a
committee representing both hous-
es of congress. Such a committee
was appointed to report January
1888. The committee, Fisher stat
ed, has never yet reported, al
though the Legion has demanded
that a report be made.
There is q general understand
ing, based on a statement made by
General Hines" Fisher stated,
that 5,O00,O00,O0 has been ex-
pended on World war veterans. The
! SIS ,000,000,000 referred to by Gen
! eral Hines was expended on all
veterans of The United States from
, 1880 to the present time. But $251, -
| 000,000 of the S900,0a0,000 expend-
ed annually on veterans goes to
World war veterans, and there is
no way in which most of this eX-
penditure could be cut. We cannot
cut the amount paid emergency
officers, who suffered 95 per cent
of the casualties in the World War
Nor can we cut the amount paid
to widows and orphans. Certainly
we cannot cut the pensions paid
Civil war veterans, many of whom
have no other means of support
