SILVER, BONUS
FORCESUN|TE

Indications that bonus advo-
Gates and silverites would join
forces were seen today as Senator
Pittman CD Of Nevada,.a leading
gilverite, announced he would In
troduce a compromise" bonus
plan to be financed with the Gov.
ernment's profits from its silver
purchases.
The Governments "seignior-
age" or profit on silver, in the
last SO years has piled up $685.
600 900, Pittman claimed. This is
not ear-marked, and would be
available for partly financing the
proposed bonus. The Governments
profits on additional purchases OF
silver it is now obligated to make,
would "be enough to pay all the
certificates that would be pre-
Sented," he declared.
Pittman advocates dating the
bonus certificates from 1918, in
stead of from 1925. He explained
this means payment of seven
years interest which the veterans
do not now stand to collect, but
payment of the certificates in
1885 would mean a saving to the
Government of the difference be-
tween this interest, and the 10
years payments otherwise due

amounted to $47.29, falling some-
what below the 5000 figure

poration receipts amounted TO
something over 100000 and are
