The Citizen a few days ago pub
lished a story taken from the st.
Augustine Record which gave the
law governing candidates in a gen
eral election relating to their ac-
tivity in a preceding primary.
The law reads that no candidates
who was in the first primary can
have his name printed on the bal
lot in 1.-The general election unless
he was the choice of the people.
In other words, a defeated candi-
date in the primaries cannot have
his named placed on the official
ballot in the general election. And
neither can a person who voted
in the primaries have his name
placed on the ballot.

RARE DRAGON

A bit of the Lost World was
TRANSPORTED to National geological

huge dragon sent to DR.. William

The dragon, which is all the

historic dinosaurs, was placed IN
it's specially constructed home
after a half hour of persuasion OF
ZOO keepers and to the edlflca-
tion of scores of curious persons.
The dragon. weighing nearly
100 pounds and approximately
eight feet one inch, is virtually a
baby. being only about 10 years
old, but within a few years Will
reach a length of possibly IL feet.

raphers who were inside the cage
photographing it. This bit OF
aggression seemed contagious, as
the smaller monitor charged one

The dragon was captured on the
island by T. K. Griswold, archae-

PRES|DEN I.
TAKES SLAP
ATBONUS
Declares Against Immediate
Payment, Saying Veterans
Certificates Not Due

President Roosevelt today fired
the first gun in the bonus fight
for the Seventy-fourth CONGRESS
by declaring that full, immediate
cash payment to veterans is not
now due.
His statement, made in a letter
to Commander Garland R. Farmer
of the American Legion Post OF
Henderson, Tex, puts the Ad'
ministration firmly in opposition
to the strongly entrenched force
of the legionnaires who claim
they have more than tWo-thlros
majority in both Houses Of the
next Congress. It presages a oltter
legislative fight that may rip ootn
parties wide open.
The Presidents reply is based
almost.&ensirely on. the actuarial
facts furnished him by Brig. Gen.
Frank T. Hines, y. s. Veterans
administrator, and in addition to
the letter to Commander Farmer,
President Roosevelt also made
public the text of memorandum
furnished him by General Hines.
President Roosevelt'S main rea-
son, as shown in his letter, is that
cash payment of the adjusted
service certificates is not now due
and that Congress never intended
that they should be cashed in full
as of 1945.
"cNOt Immediately Due"
In explaining this, President
Roosevelt said:
Suppose that a veterans
original grant by Congress In
1924 was S4OO and that the
veteran did not borrow ON his
certificate, permitting the inter-
est to accumulate to maturity,
the $4OO would grow SO that 1t
would pay the veteran when due
in 1945 $1,000.
"In other words the amount
which is printed upon the face
of every adjusted service GER
tificate is not the amount Of the
basic or original bonus voted by
Congress but is an amount plus
rs per cent added for deferred
payment which, with interest at
4 per cent compounded annually
over a 2O-year period, will pro-
duce the face or maturity value.
This would seem to dispose OF
the question as to whether the
obligation is Immediately due"
Denies Aid To Trade
The President pointed out thai
all but a comparatively few vet
erans have borrowed money right
up to the limit and that many
veterans have borrowed more
than their certificates are really
worth. He denied that the
former large payment which oc
CURED when veterans borrowed
up to SO per cent Of their face
value had stimulated business
