Mass meeting backs Adjusted Compensation plan for ex servicemen
A large audience at the Auditorium unanimously adopted a resolution urging Congress to pass the Adjusted Compensation bill. The meeting, called by the local American Legion post, heard discussions on deficits and surpluses and arguments for tax reductions to fund the bonus. CG Douglas warned against handling soldiers’ pay, while figures cited showed a growing surplus and savings from budget cuts could finance the bonus without new taxes. Messages from the meeting emphasized support for veterans and the path to tax relief.
