WHO KILLED THE SOLDIER BONUS BILL
o
Ex.soldiers of Marion County want those of Indiana to know why House Bill No. 37 < introduced by Representative Omar Newman, of Indianapolis, better known as the State Soldier’s Bonus Bill did not pass and who killed it. Yhe bill merely request ed the Legislature of Indiana to submit the question to the voters of the State as to wether they wanted to give the soldiers, sailors, marines, and nursese, who went from this state into the recent World War, a bonus The principal feature of the bill was an educational one by which they had an opportunity to go to school at the State University fo r a period of not to exceed five years, or any other school for a period of time not to exceed three years, with maintenance of $1.00 a day while in training. It is feared that if the bill is even enacted at the next session of the Genera! Asembly of Indiana which meets in January, 1923. that very few will be benefited by the educational feature as the time for them to resume their studies will have long past The other option provided for by the bill was a straight cash payment of $10.00 a month for every month of
service.
The bill passed the House of Repre. sentatives by a vote of 79 to 14 despite all the opposition the American Legion could bring against it. We want it distinctly understood this opposition did not come from the rank and file of its membership, but from
such individuals ~
by these men that the ex-service men and women of this state did not want a bonus; instead wanted a memorial building. Now, this so-called memorial building is nothing more than a coliseum for the city of Indianapolis m which^ according to House Bill 238 Section 1. lines 11 to 14 “ institutes exhibits, shows and entertainments of all kinds may be held in such building in the discretion of the Board of Trus tees and said trustees may let said building for hire and fix a charge
therefor ”
Marion county^ Indiana in which the building will be located will be taxed for some $3,000,000—the state for $2,000,000— $5,000,000 in all—a memorial building at a time when exservicc men who are disabled for life are dying inch by inch in institutions all over the state These men are not receiving proper'care or medical at. tention. Eve n our leading newspapers commen t on this fact. For ex. ample in an old builbing which i s not fire proof at the Central Hospital for Insane at Indianapolis there are thirty ex.service men, sixteen from Marion county What has or what is Marion county or the State of Indiana doing for them? Still, our represen -. tatives and senators in the State j House voted for $5 000,000 memorial building that will—it is estimatedcost the state over $100,000 a year for up keep. Certain civic organize tions were behind it-it gives them a coliseum at th e expense of the state. Vet, the state refuses to pay a bonus to its ex.service me n and women. Senator Robert Moorehead of Indianapolis, former chairman of the Americanization Committee of the Legion in Indiana, who was the Colonel of the 139th Field Artillery, an,j a member of the Indiana Senate Finance Committee, of which Senator Duncan of Cloverdale, Indiana, was chairman, told Finance Committee that the American Legion of Indiana, in its last State Convention went on record as against the bonus bill and that if the memorial bill was passed, the ex.soldiers of this state would not ask for a bonus for a long time Vet, three post commanders of the American Legion were then exert ing every effort for the passage of bonus bill, because they said the members of their post wanted it in place
of the memorial.
Much influence was brought to bear on Senator Estes Duncan to get him to report the bill out of hi s committee but he refused, and no senator could cal] it up because of a rule of ^he Senate which prevented this because the bill had not been in committee six
days
The members of the senate were each sent a letter signed by members of all ex-service men’s organizations m this state, and from a poll taken of the senate it was found that thirty two senators out of the membership
of fifty woulj have voted for the bill A committee from different service organizations called on Governor Warren T. McCray, who first told us he was pledged to support us. The Governor sent a tnessage to Senator Duncan saying he wanted to see him at once in regard to the Newman BonBill, Just w-hat the governor said to Senator Duncan, at the private conference with him. is not known. Nevertheless, he would not report the bill out of his committee even whe n it was suggested that he report it out, without recommendation and let the Senate pass on it as a committee of the whole. After the ex-soldiers found out definitely that the bill would not be reported out for action by the whole senate a bouquet of yellow flowers was sent to Senator Duncan with a card attached, which bore the following inscription,.. -TO. THE. MAN. WHO KILLED. THE. SOLDIER. BONUS BILL”, SENATOR DUNCAN “FROM THE. BOYS. WHO. FOUGHT AND BLED. FOR. THE. AMERICA YOU LI\ E IN.” Several of the Senators, including Senator Cann of Frankfort, Indiana, who has a son w’ho served with the 1st Division, we.it to Senator Duncan and askej him if it was a funeral and he said no, it was just regards. Senator Duncan became very pale and his voice failed him when he tried to answer the roll call on the next bill. z We now lear n that Senator Robert Morehead is interested in this $3,000,000 land deal and asked to be excused from voting on the Memorial Bill. We now wonder what kind of an agreement Senator Duncan and Senator Moorehead entered into cn
this subject
Especial credit should be given to Representative Richard Lowe of f rawfordsville who with Representative Elmer Sherwood, went with the party to urge the Governor to pass the bonus bill. Representative Lowe told the governor that he was a member of the Memorial bill committee last summer and that he knew of no such agreement as senator Moorehead
For the Spring Sewing-Fest
such individuals as Russell Newgent, 0 0 a£rreenient as senator Moorehead Indiana State Adjutant, Garth Melson Spol<e ° f ’ bein S roade to that commit-
Secretary of the Legion Legislative t<?e ' Committee, and Senator Robert Moreheaj of Marion county. The members of the Indiana Legislature were told
Representative Russell K Bedgood of Lafayette led the fight against the bonus bill i n the House of Representa ti\es, and said in his attack, that the people who stayed at home and faced the high cost of living were just as brave as the men who went over and
faced the bullets.
Representative Claude A. Smith of Princeton, Tnd., should also be remembered for the parliamentary tricks played to kill the bill ONE WHO KNOWS.

A FEW weeks before Lent the Shop Xm.windows blossom out with spring clothes for children, household linens, undermusllns and hous4 dresses, by wav of reminding housewives that they must settle down to their annual spring sewing fest. Clothes for every nieraher of the family become the absorbing matter of Interest and the shops stand ready to furnish the wherewithal to make them. Their display windows are cheerful with gayspring cottons, checked and plaid ginghams, plain chambrnys and novelty weaves along with sheer organdy and other fine wash fabrics. This season they are showing exceptionally good-looking house dresses, crisp and practical, made of plaid, checked and plain materials. They Invite the seamstress to consider what may he done with a few yards of gingham or other wash fabric In the hands of clever de-
signers.
Checked ginghams for both grownups and children are as sure of a welcome as daffodils, and they are duly on hand In the new displays. Pink and white combinations appear to be favored, follo^*d by lavender and whit* with other colors answering the
roll call in pleasing tones. Then there are plain colored cottons, alone and In combination with white, as shown In the picture, with many attractive plaids and a few stripes. The noteworthy feature In spring house dresses Is not novelty of materials, but cleverness of designs. Many of the plaid ginghams are piped with a plain color and plain colors are Ingeniously finished with white as in the dress shown at the right of the picture. A plain chambray is used for this model with vestee and collar of white lawn. The short sleeves are ornamented with folds of the lawn and there are deep cuffs made of It in double thickness. Another chambray is shown at the left, with narrow-tucked panels Inserted In the skirt at each side headed by small tabs ornamented with needlework In white. The collar is edged with embroidery and there is a prettyfinish of simple needlework on the
bodice.

' I -»HE blouse nas enuearen itself to X women for many reasons and has been developed In such great variety that the theme Is endless. Starting with the tailored blouse of wash materials—the direct descendant of the shirtwaist—It runs through mnny dalnty developments In lingerie blouses of she* r cottons or linen, handmade or otherwise, that commend themselves because of their perpetual freshness. It is fashioned In styles that give It the flavor of the sport suit, the tailored suit, the separate skirt—for morning or afternoon—and conies through Its frequent tubhlng ns good as new. Blouses of georgette are even more desired, because of the beauty of this fabric and Its additional Charm of color. And besides these two great favorites, there are blouses of satin, of net, lace and various silks to be reckoned with. Altogether they are a new story all the time. Two of the simplest designs among those that make Up spring displays, as shown In the picture, will Interest **’ woman who undertakes the muk•>ses at home. They are ear with suits or skirts washable, fulfilling the Itugerte blouse and add-
ing a color to the sedate street suit or tailored skirt. In each of them a feature of the new designs appears In the obliteration of a girdle or belt. Blouses are extended below the wals:, In the front at least, and there Is a vague definition of the waist line in them, but they are often shaped to form a short sash at the back. The satin blouse at the left of the picture Is a slip-over model with a little braid trimming and that at the right is of georgette, having the new three-quar-ter length, flaring sleeves. An apron panel at the front, displays a bit of embroidery and hemstitching provides the finished, careful workmanship that is the chief asset of blouses for wear with suits.
