The New York Court of Appeals ruled the state soldier bonus act invalid by a 5 to 2 vote, holding it violates Article 7, Section 1 of the state constitution by lending state credits to individuals or groups. Justice Andrews wrote the majority opinion, with dissenters Cardozo and Pound. The decision says the bonus is a gift of state credit, not payment of a state obligation, and essentially a claim against the federal government.
