Local Legion Post Urges State Bonus
The Becker-Chapman post of the American Legion favors a state bonus for returned soldiers and says resolutions cover this request, while disavowing any link to a national push for a $54 monthly service pay. At Minneapolis convention Col Roosevelt urged giving to the country, not taking. States mainly skip bonuses, yet headquarter orders urge a $50 plan in Congress, drawing protests over two billion dollars in debt. Becker-Chapman post notes Iowa can fund a state bonus as Minnesota North Dakota and Wisconsin discuss relief.
