STRAIGHT FROM
WASHINGTON
By STEPHEN M. YOUNG
Congressman at Large


Cash payment of adjusted compen-
sation certificates will be debated in
the house and senate during the next
few weeks. This soldiers bonus"
measure may go to the White House.
If so, a vote will doubtless be forth
coming Adjusted service compensa-
tion certificates are government obli-
cation, due in 1916. Bonus advocates
urge the issuance of 2 billion 200 mil
lion dollars in new money now. Most
people believe there should be more
money in circulation. Too much money
is locked in big city bank vaults Ex-
service men have always been good
spenders when fortunate enough to
have money An argument for pay
ment of the bonus now is that it will
result in limited expansion of the
currency.
V&V v
A bond issue of billion and three
fourths additional has been authorized
for the Home Owners Loan Corpora
tion by the house Of representatives.
The senate will probably approve this
benefcent measure soon.
Distressed home owners who have
not to date applied for nor received
relief from this corporation should do
so now.
V&Q Y
The national income during 1884 of
125 million persons in the United
States was 81 billion 920 million dol
lars. This was the largest since 193- In
1929, the peak prosperity year, the
national income was 80 billion dollars.
VGvV
The present national debt amounts
to 1915 for every man, woman and
child in the country In addition, most
states have plenty of debts.
Leading economists now put the
total wealth Of our country at 800
billion dollars.

CARS MUST BE INSPECTED BY
NOVEMBER 1

Motor vehicles failing to display
inspection stickers will be denied the
use of the highways on and after
November L.
This warning is given by the Key
stone Automobile Club of Maryland,
at the request of State authorities,
wEo are planning to enforce rigid
rules against the operation of cars
which have not been inspected and
passed by the Official Inspection
Stations.
although the inspection period
ends October 81" said Garrison F.
Knox, Manager of the Club, "a vast
number of the States motor vehicles
have not been submitted for the test
of mechanical fitness. Car owners
viii wait until the final week may
discover that Official Station facilities
are not equal to the task of handling
the last-hour rush. In consequence,
many motorists are likely to find
themselves in an embarrassing posi-
ton November l.
The Club official urged motorists
not to place entire reliance upon the
adjustments made in the inspection,
pointing out that it is necessary to
keep constant check on safety
features of motor vehicles. THE
presence of a sticker on the wind
shield is no guarantee that the car
will remain safe until the next in
specsion period" he said. This is
particularly true of headlights, which
do not long remain in perfect adj
justment'
