Bonus Bill Passes in Congress and Goes Into Effect Soon
Indianapolis dispatch reports National Commander Mac Nider asserting assurances from Senator McCumber and Representative Fordney that the World War veteran bonus bill will pass and go into effect in July 1922. It outlines options for veterans including cash adjustments, an insurance endowment, vocational training aid, farm or home aid, and land settlement projects with sales of farm units and favorable payment terms. The piece notes the legion’s stance that the term adjusted compensation better fits the measure than bonus bill, plus a brief local note of Jack Malley returning to Wichita Falls after holidays and a brief ad for sharpened safety razor blades at Tolson’s Drug Store.
