THE VETERANS, BONUS

While voters of the State of
Washington have approved the mea-
sure providing a bonus for veterans
of World War II, 1t win probably
be well into 1919 before the first
checks are issued, If at all. Apart
from the time which will be re-
quired to set up the adl1inistra-
tive machinery and to process APP
plications, there are strong indi-
cations that court decision will
be requested il, the near future to
rule on the constitutionality of the
bonus measure itself. Undoubtedly,
state officials win await the re-
suits of legal action before COM
hitting themselves too deeply in
the matter of bonus payments.
There is no question, Of course,
about the constitutionality Of a
veterais' bonus In and Of itself.
The legal question caused by Ini-
tiative 169, the bonus measure,
arises from the specific financing
provisions Of the act, which pro-
vides that bonds will be issued to
pay for the bonus, and that those
bonds shall be retired through
funds derived from a 10 per cent
tax on retail tobacco sales. The
tax business Is the rub, SO to speak.
1t is contended by opponents of the
bonus measure that such tax will
not only fail to provide sufficient re-
venues to retire the bonds (not a

fatal objection, since the Legisla-
ture could provide other funds,
but also is unfair and discrimina-
tory in placing the entire burden Of
the bonus upon a single class of re-
tail articles, already the subject Of
other state and \ federal taxes. II
is argued, therefore, that the bonus
measure is unconstitutional; and a
fair-minded consideration of the
question leads neutral observers to
conclude that there is some merit
to this contention.
The legality of the bonus measure,
of course, Is solely a matter for the
Supreme Court to decide. If and
