Storm Signals Are Posted Are your children properly shod for coming bad weather? If not, don’t let tomorrow pass, without attending to the mailer. You know colds and resulting sickness most often finds entrance through leaky soles. In fact, many shoes for children are so shoddy—that they actually solicit “business” for the doctor. Thai’s why we are so particular to have our boys’ and girls’ shoes, so solidly built of honest leathers - that they'll be as weather-proof as possible. Charlie Voglewede THE SHOE SELLER.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28,1922

WRITTEN BY NEPHEW The following inwagting article appearing in the Columbus Digpatch, was written by R. E. Baker, of Thornvillo, Ohio, a nephew of Mrs. Jack Meibers of thia city. Mr. Wilson’s Critics To the Editor of The Dispatch. Sir: 1 am a lad of but ill years and am not desiring notoriety, but 1 have Mr, E. H. Cheater to thank for his contribution of the 13th. Mr. Chester spoke of the treatment received by Woodrow Wilson at the hands of Lodge, Moses, Watson A Coin regard to this, I am Informed* and by good authority) that during Wilson's Illness one senator made a statement to the effect that he hoped that Wilson would not recover. A tine statement, is it not, issuing from the lips of a hypocritical, supposed-to-be statesman But, thank God, Wilson stil lives, and views with silent contempt the wretched hypocrisy that is being practiced in carrying on something called Hardingism, but which to my mind smacks loudly of Wilsonism. I fear me that a certain man is getting into deep water. He has lent his aid to Senator Truman Newberry, a man who is thoroughly hated by the honest element of his own party. If ' any good comes through this administration. it will be through the efforts of Charles E. Hughes, the only capable man of the whole lot. 1 Mr. Harding and his colleagues must ■ not get angry at France on account of 1 the ‘‘blocking game.” It is but retribution. Henry Cabot Lodge led the fight, filled with a hatred and jealously equal to that of Caius Casius. Why, I ■ ask you? Simply because he did not head Wilson’s delegations. What does this Cassius do? Ho forthwith forms a conspiracy to slay Caesar (Wilson). The conspirators slew him for the time being, hut “Truth crushed to earth will rise again.” Ah! the world will ' perhaps some day realize his (rhe worth. Does re denounce the leeches that “sucked” his life blood? No. he is too noble to stoop to such a thing, lie will let the people of the United ' States do that in November, 1924. ' In conclusion permit me to cite one more instance of rank hypocrisy. Back during Wilson's administration Senator Pomerene, I believe made a proposal that the country of Colombia in ' South America be paid a certain sum ' of money for the strip of land seized for the purpose of being used in the construction of the Panama canal. What did those oligarchs of the senate do? They forthwith branded the proposal as a direct insult to Theodore Roosevelt. Ou the other hand, did they hesitate to destroy Woodrow Wilson? Not. for a single instant. 1 am not flinging stones at Roosevelt. 1 respect and admire him for his Americanism.l would to God that we had more men of his caliber—R. E. BAKER e Sees Need of Bitr Merchant Marine (Continued from page one) All income taxes to be waived when the amount of such taxes is applied to half the cost of new ship construction. Fifty percent of all immigrants must be carried in American ships. Creation of a merchant marine naval reserve to the maximum number of 5,000 officers aud 30,000 men employed on merchantmen receiving a maximum total of pay from the navy of $3,000,000 a year. All government freight and passenger traffic to be. on American ships where possible. Army transport service to be turned over to the shipping board. Coastwise trade laws to be extended to the Philippine Islands. Requiring that all trade with the islands and the United States be by American ships. Preferential rail rates on through shipments of American ships. Co-ordination of rail and water transportation and development of railroad owned steamship lines. Richard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Buettner, of Preble, is very ill. Martin Hougk was a Decatur business visitor today. • ■ a NEVER WANTS ANYTHING ELSE “I tried many different kinds of cough modicino,” writes Mrs. E. K. Olson. 1917 Ohio avenue. Superior, Wis., “but I never want anything else than Foley’s Honey and Tar. 1 used it for all my children and also for my grandchild.. It. has always done fine work.” Foley's is a pure, wholesome and absolutely sate remedy for the relief of colds, coughs, croup and whooping cough. Children like it and it chocks sneezing and snuffling. Sold everywhere. 1 • CARD PARTY AM) DANCE K. OF C.

THE ADJUSTED COMPENSATION ACT

A Short Description of the Seven Titles of the So-Called Bonus Bill and What They Provide—House and Senate Bills Differ in Title 6.

The adjusted compensation (bonus) bill wns introduced in the 67th Congress, first session, as If. It. No. 1, on April 11, 1921, by Mr. Fordney, of Michigan. At the same time it was introduced in the Senate as 8.506 by Mr. McCumber, of North Dakota. The bills are the same except in respect to Title 6 and a few minor points in Title 1. H.R.. 1 is in seven "Titles" or general headings, each of which is divided into section.s Title I—General Provisions. The first Title describes the bill as the “World War adjusted compensation act. defines the term “veteran,” describes by name live options, or choices in form of compensation allowed the veterans under Titles 2,3, 4, 5. and 6, fixes the methods by which veterans shall apply for their choice, fixes methods by which the Secretary of War and Secretary of the Navy shall handle the applications, and the Secretary of the Treasury shall make the payments. Title 2—Adjusted Service Pay. The second Title defines “overseas service,” and “home service," and provides that each veteran shall bo paid “the following sums for each day of service, in excess of 60 days. In the military or naval forces of the United States after April 5, 1917, and before July 1, 1919. as shown by the service or other record of the veteran; $1.25 for each day of overseas service, and $1 for each day of home service; but the amount payable to a veteran who performed no overseas service shall not exceed SSOO, and the amount payable to a veteran who performed any overseas service shall not exceed $625. It is then added than no payment shall bn made to any officer above the rank of captain in the army or marine corps, or lieutenant in the navy., and certain special classes of

The big, open range, desperate, hard riding, merciless cattlemen who recognize no sex in their efforts to drive Kate and her flocks from their domain.

service are barred from adjusted compensation. Payments are to bo made in quarterly installments of SSU each, beginning Jan. 1, 1923. The payments is n on-assignable. Title 3-Adjuated Service Certificates This Title provides that the veteran may choose in place of Adjusted Service pay, an Adjusted Service Certificate in the amount of the adjusted service pay he would get under Title 2. plus 40 per cent of same, plus interest on the total for 20 years, at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent compounded anually. (The total value of the certificate becomes 3.38 times that of the adjusted service pay.) The whole is payable to the veteran at the end of 20 years, or to ills beneficiary in case of his death prior to that time. A loan fund is created which a veteran holding an adjusted service c< rtillcate may borrow from the Government thereon as follows: (a) After 2 and before 5 years—a sum equal to 90 per cent of his Adjusted Service Pay plus interest to the time of the loan. th) After 5 years a sum equal to 80 per cent of his Adjusted Service pay, plus 40 per cent of same, plus interest to date of the loan. These loans will carry 41-2 per cent interest, tho same as the certificate, so that they amount to a loan without interest. They shall be repaid in equal annual installments during the life of the certificate. If they are not repaid, the certificate is forfeited to tho Government. The loans are to be handled through postm isters. The certificates and rights there under arc not assignable. Title 4—Vocational Training Aid V veteran may select vocational education as his form of adjusted cchipensation. In that event he shall be entitled to training with pay

at the rate of ssl.7G per day, up to a total amount equal to his Adjusted Service pay, plus 40 ner cent thereof. Tho training shall be under the supervision of the Veteran's Bureau. Title s—-Farm or Home Aid This title provides that the veteran may select us his compensation a mini equid to his adjusted service pay, plus 40 per cent thereof, to be used for the purpose, and only for the purpose, of making Improvements on a city or suburban home or on a farm, or to purchase or make payments on such a home or farm. Thu National Veterans' Settlement Board, provided for in Title 6 will have authority to approve the purpose for which the money is desired by the veteran and may make the payment directly to the vendor of the land or homo. Appraisers for tire Federal Loan Board may bo used to examine the values of property which veterans desire to purchase to determine the desirability of the investment. Title 6—Land Settlement. Provision is made in this, the long ost portion of the bill, for creating a “National Veterans’ Settlement Board” of five members, including the Secretary of the Interior. Three of the other four members are to be veterans. Their salaries will be $7,500 yearly. This board is to establish “veteran i settlement projects” wherein land I shall bo made suitable for cultivation by irrigation, drainage, or other manners. Details of methods of acquiring land, State cooperation, etc., are provided. After projects have been improved, ready for cultivation, farm units and farm workers’ units will bo established and sold to veterans who select this option of the bill for their ' adjusted compensation. Terms of the ‘ sale may cover payments over a period of years not to exceed 40. in the judgment of the board. The cost Ito the veteran shall be fixed in advance and he may deduct therefrom the amount of his adjusted service pay and be credited with same as a payment on his land.

The details of the land settlement title are in some respects the «amo as the present general reclamation law and in other special methods are to suit tlu> case. Title 7—Miscellaneous Provisions The final title of the bill provides that necessary help may be hired by Government officials or boards authorized to carry out the act, offices rented, etc. Ex-service men are to have preference in employment in all work created by the act. The penalty for making false or fraudulent statements in any application, etc., under the act is fixed at SI,OOO fine or five years imprisonment or both. The concluding section says that there is I'jereby authorized to be ap propriated so much money as may be necessary to carry out tho provision of tho act. The Senate Bill. The McCumber bill in the Senate (5.06) has a totally different Title 6 from the House Bill (H.R.1.) described above. Title 6 in pie House bill was eliminated entirely and a defferent Title 6 substituted. It provides for no ".settlement board” and no development of land projects. It grants to the veteran a permanent preference in the aquisltion of any lands that may hereafter be opened to entry by the Government under J the reclamation act* or other laws. The veteran can then.use his compensation in paying for the lands. ’ Senator McCumber’s reasons for tho change have been set forth in tho ! Senate Finance Committee report of June, 1921. on the adjusted compensation bill. e A man, whose family pride was more marked than his love for music, asked a friend to come and hear his , daughter sing. After she had finished, the proud father said to his friend: "Wtell, ihow do you like it? What do ' you think of her execution?” The reply came swiftly “I’m in i favor of it.” . -e , —...
