7 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922 11 MOST WAR VETS WANT GASH BONUS. REPORT Ways and Means ears Conipmision, Establish High Estimate Indianapolis, Ind.--What percentage of ex-soldiers will choose cash in the | event compensation passes Congress? That question is troubling legislators | at Washington. Results of referen- | dum votes conducted by the American Legion in widely separated localities | indicate that the choice of the five | provisions of the bill would largely | depend on the varying geographical and economic conditions existing in the different sections of the country. More than 80 per cent of 5,000 Penn- | sylvania veterans chose paid-up in- surance in a recent poll. On the other | hand, two-thirds of the 6,106 Iowa ex- | soldiers that voted chose to receive cash. This fact has been attributed | to the hardships accruing from. agri- | cultural depression there. The refex- endum was conducted by the Iowa Legionnaire, an official Legion Publi- | cation, and showed the state to be strong for compensation, only two | negative votes having been cast. If Kansas balloting were to be taken as a criterion, less than one half of all ex-service men would ask for ready caslt. At Wichita 36 per cent of Legion members signified they wished cash, and at Atchison 35 per cent. The latter post favored paid-up insurance, | | | | | | { | while Wichita cast a majority for the home and farm aid feature of the bill. | In preparing an estimate for the] House Ways and Means committee, |" fiscal officers of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps worked on the basis that 50 per cent of Army men and 75 per cent of Navy men would elect cash settlement. On this division the cost of compensation was put at $2,500,000.000. Iegion officials took issue with the Navy and Marine Corps heads on the 75 per cent esti- mate. ADDRESS ON "LINCOLN" Rev. James A.
