Bonus Taiw, Like Any Other, Mean
Higher Living Costs.
Tho protests which aro pouring In
tlitoii 'Congress by the tens of thou
sands against tho House bonus plan
do -not meuu that tho uatlou will
listen to no relief under any circum
stances for soldiers ami sailors ami
their families. They do menu that
the Amerlcun people are In dead
earnest against the proposed Indis
criminate scatterlug of billions of
dollars of the taxpayers' money far
and wide. They do mean that the
voters of the country arc not going to
spare Congress members who throw
away billions of tax plunder torn out
of the lonz suffering public.
ltpnreseiitatlve Good, chairman of
the House Committee on Appropria
tlons, hit the nail squarely on the
head when he said tho proposed
Immis niirnnnrllizs COIlld not be
htnrted without heavily Increased
taxes, and that such Increased taxes
could not be Imposed without magni
fying the high cost of living generally,
prodigiously and lnsupportably.
The people of the United States
nre never going to permit tho maimed
and otherwise Incapacitated sur
vivors of our forces our actual light
ers to suffer destitution and misery
which have befallen them through no
fault of their own but because of
their service to their country. Jiut
the people of. the United States are
Dot going to tolerate a horizontal
distribution of bonus funds regardless
of differentiation between the man
who Is In Imperative need of them
nnd the man who doesn't need them
at allJ And the people of the United
States are not going to- sanction any
form of bonus, under whatever dis
tinction of merit or whatever restric
tion of bestowal, until Cougress re
duces, nnd reduces with a vengeance,
the already enormously swollen ex
peudltures of the Government.
When there is a current deficit of
billions of dollars for anybody to
propose a further deficit of more
billions, with all its cost of living
penalties, la somethiug tho American
people are not going to stand. The
itepreseniaiivcs anu ocuuiura iu w
gress who think they can get away
with bonus or any other kind of
new- taxes to . jack up still higher
tho cost of bread nnd butter of the
American people have something com
Ing to tlicin at the polls something
good and hard.
Foreign Production for lis.
Pertinent facts about tho amount
of United States money in circulation
on April 1, 1020, as announced by the
Government, should not be overlooked.
We now have $5,909,320,472 In circu
lating money, against $5,847,363,641 on
April 1, 1919, an Increase of $121,95C,
831. The per capita circulation now
Is I33.S4, against 1919 pec capita of
$54.50. Meanwhile we have lost
J5130.131.y5ii of our gold to foreign
countries. We have more paper
money but lc&s gold. Are we richer
or poorer for this? Are we better or
.worse off for It?
The Bradstreet index number for
April 1 1020, was 287, compared
with 288 on April 1 last year. At tho
same time the country has about $121,
000,000 more money, with which we
can commaud goods at almost ex
actly the same price as. last year.
Those who condemn the issuance
of paper money nwy be surprised at
tbese tigurcs. becauso It is usually
taken for granted that each Increase
In currency without an equivalent
Increase In production causes an In
crease la living costs. The foregoing
figures are not n refntatlou of the
argument these persons advance, but
rather a confirmation of It
During tho war we became the
creditors of powerful European na
lions which uow arc straining every
lnew to ship us merchandise to re
eve their delit. The position of the
ffvrlianges wakes these goods cheap

Is Congress Wiling to RiUa tho
Array and the Navy?
After weeks of wrangling over n
matter which slwuld have been ad
justed In nu hour the conferees lu.
Congress have adjourned without do
ing common Justice to tho ollicers of
the Army and Navy.
It has been evident since tho. 'trinls
Hco that unless the pay of these men
was Increased enough to enable them
to shoulder the growing burden of
living costs they would be obliged to
leave tho-servlce-iis soon us they were
pormltted so to do, ami that In the
meantime they would be doomed to
discomfort, Inconvenience nnd hu
miliation, if not worse.
As the situation Is reported to
stand now the eullsted men are to
receive an increase of about 30 pec
cent. The otlkers get a "temporary
increase" on a bonus plan. What the
Wndsworth bill provided, a ration
plan, has been eliminated. The mock
ery of it. Is thut tho enlisted men,
whose riso of pay Is granted, are fed
by the Government. The ollicers pay
for their own mess, even when at sea
The Wadsworth bill would grant to
each oltleer 55 cents a day for each
room allowed him. In the caso of an
Ensign, whose allowance Is two rooms,
there would be a ration allowance of
$1.10 a day. Nobody who knows
the present cost of food will say that
this was uu extravagant, or even a
liberal, allowance, but hi any ease
It would help.
Congress seems to say to the men
who compose tho framework of the
nation's defence : "Wo 'have spent
money like water; we have It In
mind to spend another billion or two
on bonuses for men' who are earn
Ing their livings In civil life. Cut
there's nothing for you! You nro uot
allowed to resign and there is noth
ing for you ami your families to do
but go hungry."
Does Cougress expect that under
the circumstances any intelligent
young mau will be attracted toward
the Array or the Navy? Even the
best type of ofllccr material, the
youth who cares nothing for the
pecuniary rewards of the profession,
will no longer be attracted into the
service. Xo man Is going into, a pro
fession in which resiiectabillty is en
forced but which does not pay enough
to maintain respectability.
Stupid men are breaking down.the
frame of a structure whose value was
demonstrated throughout the war.
Unless steps are taken to correct the
manifest Injustice the harm done to
the Army and Navy will bo Irrep
arable. Thousands of ollicers have
offered their resignations because of
the lack of a living salary. That Is
all they have asked. They do not
want bonuses. They bavo to plan
their Incomes just as men do In other
walks of life.
A Vopular British
Threatened
Institution
The English sport of fox huntlug,
which was hi full swing before the
times of the Stuarts and Tudors and
which had lost none of Its fascination
for the country gentry when tho war
began, has been so hard hit by tho
high cost of living that its continua
tion as one of Britain's most popular
institutions Ls threatened. In Its re
view of the latest English season The
Field, "the country gentleman's news
paper," says that with hay at ?80
a 'ton and everything else required
by the horse owner costing two and
a halt times as much as it did six
years ago "it is practically impossi
ble for the poor hunting man or
woman to ride to hounds. The re
sult ls that they are obliged to retire
from the field."
It is not the keep of the animal
alone that ls so expensive, but the
cost ot a good huntlug horse has be
come almost prohibitive to men of
slender purses. In communities where
form and style were not liuportant
considerations this difficulty was iu
part overcome by army remounts,
But this supply is almost entirely ex
hausted and it is now impossible to
pick up at a low figure any kind of
horse than can gallop and Jump.
There is, moreover, not only
shortage In hounds but a decided
deterioration in the hunting qualities
of many of the best packs. The rea-
sous for this are that disease took a
considerable toll when theiiacks were
smaller th-.iu ever before and that
training and care of hunting dog:
were neglected during the war,
There aro also fewer foxes now for
tho chase; In war time the number
was kept down tu the Interest of
the fanner, and various Illegitimate
means that Ls "Illegitimate" from a
hunter's point of view were em
ployed to kill them, and such means
of destroying them have not been
abandoned. And to add to this a
cumulation of liunterx troubles, many
great estates Itave been broken
and others aro in process of division
Into small plots anil farms. The new
owner, frequently former- tenants
are not Inclined to assist In Increas
ing the growth of foxes In the county
or hi turning their lands Into hunt
ing fields. As a result they have
steadfastly refused to enter into
THE SUN. '
agreements with tho hunt eecrctariqa
or committees.
Tukingull these difficulties and ob
stacles into consideration, it would
fccem thut the crimson coated riders
will in future be a decidedly dwin
dling minority hi Great Britain.
Thoso celebrated days of stirring
contests for the fox's brush, of the
great hunt bulls nnd suppers which
were written about with so much
spirit and dash by the no.vell.sta of
the last century, bavo passed, except
for tho wealthy owners, of; great
landed estates.
"Iu these democratic times it is
most necessary," says Tho Pichl, "that
huntiiig should, as far as posslblo bo
made easy for those wboJire not over
burdened, with money and ore yet! en
thusiastic where the sport Is con
corned." In other words, Tho Field
counsels enthusiasm and a return to
the old time democracy of the sport.
But if this should fail the- Britisher
at home nnd ho should long for a
freo for all fox hunt with a fair show
for fox, hound and rider, ho might
still And Jt in. all lts early glory and
ioy Iu tho hlchlands of Kentucky or

Intelligence In the Use, of Water
May Bcronio Necessary Here.
Again seeklug release from the
olllco of President of tho Board of
Water Supply, which ho has filled for
nine years, John 1. Gaivin renews
his appeal for further extension of
tho New York watQC system. The city
Is now using water at the rate of
700,000.000, gallons a day. The avail
able safe supply when the Schoharie
project is completed will bo 1,000,
000,000 a day.
In order to keep the supply well
nbrcnst of tho demand Mr. Calvin
says "It is necessary that it snouiti
be augmented at the rate ot not less
than 100,000,000 gallons dally In every
five or six years, and when It Is con
sidered that fifteen years will elapse
after the beginning of construction
on a new project, before water will
be available the Importance of prompt
and forehanded procedure becomes
evident."
However, there ls another way be
sides acquiring more watersheds to
uigment the available water supply.
It Is to use what wo now have
without extravagance. To-day a vast
amount of water goes to. waste,
.Millions of gallons run over tho dams
and nre lost to the city. Other
millions of gallons leak out of Insuffi
cient, outgrown, broken mains. Other
millions are lost through old, faulty
plumbing. Other millions run through
water taps left open by careless per
sons. Worn washers allow millions
of gallons of water to run Into the
sewers every year.
Most of this waste could be avoided,
The reservoirs could be enlarged to
save much of the water which now
runs over tho dams. The mains could
be repaired or replaced. The service
pipes nnd interior connections could
be put In order. Waste of water
could be penalized nnd tho penalties
enforced.
If New York has 0,000,000. inhabi
tants about. 127 gallons ,of water a
head are charged against each of them.
Making allowance for the Fire Depart
ment and for other municipal uses,
for water necessary in railroad and
marine boilers, for water used in fac
tories, It Is plain this average is too
high. It would be reduced speedily
If water were paid for according to
tho quantity consumed and uot on
yearly contracts.
A good many persons In New York
don't know water cost3 money. They
never think of the great investment
the city has made, of the heavy
charges It must meet, to keep water
flowing freely. They wnste in heed
iessness and In Ignorance.
If everybody had to pay for the
water he or she uses, had to foot a
bill every three or six months, ns
everybody has to pay for gas and
electricity, there would be an aston
lshlng wave of economy In the use
of water. Nobody would use too
little; tho cost would not be high
enough to discourage any practitioner
of cleanliness, but It would be sufll
clently high to cure the bad habits
a good many citizens now have.
To talk of putting water on meter
Is not. popular In New York, but it
may become necessary. The eastern
section of he State north to Canada
cannot all be turned Into a water
shed wilderness, and there Is a limit
to the amount of money even New
York city can borrow.
The Main Issue at Versailles.
Deliberations thus far of the Allied
Supreme Council at San Remo show
their economic and political lmpor
taneo. Many matters remain to be
cleared up among England, France
and ItalY. But the main issue Is the
Versailles Treaty and Its strict en
forcement,
Itecent advices from Paris Indicate
the same unswerving determination
of some French statesmen to ignore
the real economic position of Europe.
They Insist on complete and minute
fulfilment of tho treaty long after
complete and, minute-fulfilment has
become Impossible.
Obstinate as tho French stand
toward central Europe may seem at

or secretly .admitted the futility

In reading history nowadays wo c-omo
upon passages over which wo pause.
II,oro Is ono from Fcrrcro upon Caligula,:
That his conduct was partly dui to
Insanity wo may ngree, but It was only
partly, for the Idea that Inspired his
policy, though chimerical In tho cir
cumstances to which Caligula wished-to
apply It,, had In ltsolf a certain logical
consistency giving a meaning and a
coherency to many of his acts which at
first sight look like tho caprices of a
dlsordorcd brain. . . . His Insanity,
therefore, consisted less In the strangn
ne.'s of his Individual actions than In
tho Idea from which these actions came,
the Idea that by the will of ono man
the republic could be transformed into n,
monarchy like that of tha Ptolemies.
Rome was not yet ripe for Aslatla dev

of hi extemporised tyranny reawak

WARNS VETS BONUS
IS BMP ON TREASURY
Breckinridge Says Men Who
Won War Would Repay $2
for Each 91 Received.
CREDIT NOW IS STRAINED
Foresees larger Taxes, Higher
Living Costs and Deprecia
tion in Liberty Bonis.
Special to Tnn Sen axd Niw Tonic lUu.
Washington, APrll 23. Tho soldlqr
bonus programme, now being framed In
Congress, waa attacked to-day by Henry
Breckinridge, Assistant Secretary Of
War during tho first three years of; tho
Wilson Administration, as ''an organ
ized raid upon tho Treasury In the name
of patriotism."
Mr. Breckinridge, who was a Llout
Col, In tho A. F,. F writing to Senator
w.mn w'vn.v. chairman of tho Senato
Flnonco Committee, and ltcprcsentatlvo
Fordncy (Mich.), chairman. qt tno.t.touao
1 Mi'.-Liia Committal), warned
that tho authorization of tho expenditure
required by tho bonus, which will Ro
near Jl.500.000,000, will bring tho na
tion to tho vorgo ot financial catastro
phe. Ho dcclnred that tho bonus would
depreciate Liberty bonds, Inflate still
further the currency nnd send prices of
necessities much higher.,
Tho service men In the end will havo
to pay tho cost of tho war, Mr. Brcckln
rldgo said, in declaring that for every
dollar they would recelvo undor a bonus
they would havo to pay back $1.50 In
taxes, because or llio intercsi on uov
eminent obligations.
Gardner Pust Auwlnst Bonus.
Meanwhile, some of tho American
Legion posts are beginning to inform
Coneross that a bonus would be unwise
at this time. A resolution passed by tho
Augustus P. Gardner Post hero rcaus:
"Tho bonus for past or prospective
military service has been a. recognized
evil throughout history. Tho payment of
such a bonus would violate tho principle
of the fundamental obligation of every
citizen to render military service to tho
Stato in tlmo of war. That obligation
has no prlco.
"Tha bill would Impose a financial
burden on tho country which would be
c.onomlcally disastrous, and, In the ex
orcise of their sense of Individual obliga
tion to the community, Stato nnd na
tion, tho members of tho Augustus I"
Gardner Post cannot approve, and do
oddoso the lmDOsitlon o such a burden.
The American Legion was not formed to
servo such purposes as this. Nor can
tho vetoran Justify a demand for the
bonus by tho misdeeds of tho profiteer.
Ho should neither protect nor imitate
the wrongdoor."
Mr. Brecklnridgo in hi? letter said :
"I am ogalnst tho bonus. It is un
sound economics. It works an injury,
not a benefit, both to the people it is
supposed to benefit and to tho country,
"First, it Is wrong. Say wnat you
olease. It is wrong because It will take
money from tho wounded and from tho
widows and orphans of tho dead soldier
to, fatten tho pockets of tho living ana
the uninjured. There ls only so much
monev in tho nuDllo till. uaKo a oiiuun
dollars out and tnero is to triar. cxicnt
less probability of meeting tho other
obligations ot the Government. H is
wrong because It would attempt to sei
a money -orlco on what Is beyond pur
chase and beyond prlce tho duty-of a
citizen to give his life for his country.
"It la wrong because it represents an
organized rnld upon tho Trexsury in tno
name of patriotism, ii tno ram is suc
cessful whore is tho end? Acknowledge
tho nrlnolnlo that tho decent perform
ance of the duty of citizen gives tho
right to a spc,clal class to tax all otner
rnanM for its benefit and what is the
limit? Is 11.23 a day the gold quotation
of tho market value for tne onering oi
one's life upon the field of Dattio? o,
Honiis, If Any, Should Be niRffer,
Other classes of servants ot llib Gov
ernment during tho war received rrom
t"i to 110 a day. Bo conservative and call
It $10 a day. Certainly the offering of
life, measured by mercenary standard. Is
worth as much as safe- and peaceful toll.
So wo should havo n bonus, if at all, at
oertninlv jiot lesa than ten or twelve
billions of dollars. But the Whole con
tention ls a fallacy. It contains tho
seeds, of demoralization and makes
mock and travesty o one of the most
inspiring performances of our national
life.
The bonus obviously Is bad economics.
In this country and tho world, private
nnd nubile credit are strained to the
breaking point, Primo uovernmenr.
securities aro sold as a discount which
mulcts seriously tho patriotic buyer of
Liberty bonds. The needless addition of
ono or tvyo billions to the public. debt
and the floating securities of tho nation
will Imnair tho value3 of Government!
bonds already outstanding. Inflate still
further tho currency and push still fur
ther un the rising level ot prices.
"The bonus Is not a benefit to the
soldier. It would bo an Injury to him
and an injury to his country. What aro
tho facts? Tho men who fought tno war
must nay for tho war. They are the
ablcbodled of this generation. Ninety
per cent, of them aro DacK at worn now
pnrnlntr a eood living by honest toll and
able to care for' themselves Just, as they
wero ablo to save the nation when tho
nation was In need.
"You may try to fool them. You may
sticcecd. But tho fundamental fact Is
that not only did they fight tho war, but
thev- must pay for the war. And for
overv dollar of a Government bond now
utstandlng they must pay $3 in principal
and In Interest over tno twenty years or
moro that must elapse Dcroro tins indebt
edness Is liquidated.
"And If you now make a nominal dis
bursement to them of $1,000,000,000 to
day. it means that they will have to pay
back in years to come 32,0,00,000,000, ii
nrlnclDal and SI interest And this ad
ditional public debt must be met by
hleher taxes. The sophists may talk
with noise and persistence about taking
this tax out of this or that class, but the.
Inevitable inc donee of the tax roust ne
upon tho general public, must bo reflected
in higher rents and in nigner prices oi
every single article that goes to tne sus
tnlninc of our dally life.
"So tho veteran -will havo to pay J1.C0
or "$2 for every dollar you purpose to
elvo him now. You would teach him to
come running to the Government for
largessca and handouta You would en-t
courage him to look forward to tha
plunder gained for him by tho organized
cohorts and legions ot the mobilized,
political power of tho veterans. Yon
would- confirm him in the acceptance ot;
the phUosophy of thosb who argue to
him that because others have looted tho
Treasury he also should loot tho Treas
ury. You would approvo cheapening the
glory of hla sacriflco by setting upon It
a money price.
"There must bo an end to thn orgy
of privato nnd public expenditure that
Js bringing thla nation to tho verge of
financial catastrophe. Somewhere we
must stop unless we would go on to do
structlon. And there ls no better placo
to meet what has become tho over-
-whelming lasur of public, economy than,
squarely on the lssuo of this Indefensl-.
bio bonus, sound politics and sound
economics.

From Desecration at Hands
of Radicals.
IOVV KANSAS WILID0 M
Time Has Conio to Practise
and Stop Talking of
Americanism.
(litprtntcd from veslerdav' hvenintf J fe
lt Is well to talk Americanism, but It
is vastly more important to proctlsa It"
So spoke Henry J. Allon, tho ngniinB
Governor of Kansas, In an interview
with an Evening Xclcgram reporter.
Ho wan speaking ot tho celebration, in
Kansas of "American Day," whlcn no
has by official, proclamation set for May
, tho "May Day" of history wnicn, in
recent years, has been solzcd upon, aa a
day of radical propaganda.
Gov. Alltfh, keenly alive to the danger
of-tho social and industrial unrest which
Is the inevitable outcomo oi me kici"
wnr lmiinvnH it is now tlmo for Amorl-
cans to reaffirm both by words and, no
tions, their undying atlegtanco to tho
Immortal principles ot tho fathers. Not
only for tho benefit of tho dyod in tho
wool Americans, but nlso for tho benefit
of tho foreign born pooplo In our midst,
doos ho advocato tho whole-hearted ou
..nn rt "American Day."
The Governor, wno is propriijiur ui
. ...
tho Wichita ffcacon, came to now xorit
in nttumi tho meeting of tho American
Publishers' Association. In
terviewed at tho Waldorf-Astoria on his
idoas of "American Day," tne uovemor
said :
"Tho desirability or malting tne nrsi
of May 'American Day' Is suggosted
by tho fact that un-Amorican radicals
,i,nvA oniiaht to transiilant to America
their foreign manifestation of malting
tho day- oxpres3 their Hostility io gov
ernment Vnflttea for Citizenship.
"it in fundamentally American that no
room exists In this country for tho man
u-hn Tirn.iphen the violent overthrow of
popular government. Thoso who. cannot
adiust themselves to our Government
aro not fitted for American citizenship.
They do not understand tho boad free
dom of our Institutions, nor tho teaoh-
lnn, nf nur fnnat lltltlnn WHICH KUruii-
ti.i to nil classes and massos men
rightful privileges under tho law.
"It seems to ine that It Is very neces
sary for Americans to reemphaslzo tho
spirit and purpose of popular goveru
m,nt in nrler that wo may feel again
tho solid foundation upon which tho ro
publlo was bullded by thoso who counted
no sacriflco too great to guarantco to
tho generations a freo countrj .
"Thirnforo. for I 16. uurposo oi tiwu-
in Mnv l from Its dosecratlon anu
mnlrlnir it a dav for whole 'hearted
consecration to. tho principles of Ameri
can loyalty, Kansas ls using It aa
American Day. Schools, colleges and
civic societies aro preparing for proper
celebration. It Is, In a sonse, ine ac
ceptance of the challenge of tho radl-
cnls- nnd It is moro vnan una u is n ro
statement of our devotion to tho Ameri
can Government a new declaration of
our determination that America shall
not bo mado to suffer tho attacks of
thoso who would turn liberty into
license and spread tho propaganda of
revolution and sedition among Ignorant
foreigners who become victims more
than conspirators.
"It Is well to talk Amorlcanlsm, but
It ia vastly moro important to practlso
It. Practical Americanism tn Dusiness,
In politics, in social life, will tend to
nllav unrest and ultimate, rovolutlon.
Tho uso we proposo to make of tho day
in Kansas not only rcdedlcatca us; it
has a power to teach tho foreign, elo-
mcnts the lesson of our dovotion.
Unrest I "ATinorntaV
"Tho war has brought tho political,
social and Industrial affairs of the world
Intn an abnormal stato of unrest With
such Influences at work tho moijt useful
kind of Americanism i Know is inai
which. Inspired by adherence, to our
national traditions, Insists upon sanity
in counsel and steadiness In action.
"if thn m-oDaredness parades of 1310
stimulated our patriotic impulses, why
lmvn not similar parades Jiay l io onus
tho forces of patriotism together in
every city in a pageani pormitiuia u,
concrete exhibition of regnant Ameri

"Tha Declaration or inuepenoonco was

'Each community In Kansas win worh.

Probably no two communities will havo
exactly tho same sort, oi prosTaiiiiiic,

It has been recommended that parades
shall bo featured Jn every (programme,
tho Mayor-or tils committees being given
fhn freedom of Initiative. Already a.
largo number- of tho principal towns of
tho Stato have announcod their inten

"I have supreme iaun in una oouuirj
