SAM SHERASD'S STAND
ON THE SOLDIER BONUS
Gives Reasons Why He is in Favor
of Adjusted Compensation for
L F.x-Scrvice Men
In his speech at Whitmire, Con|rref-32r.::n
Poniinick ca.ivi alter::,
to the fact that he had represented
the Third district since March, 1017,
and that he came into otlice at a time
when momentous questions were being
voted upon, and of ail of the
hundreds of votes made by him, it
was a source of great satisfaction
and of keen pleasure to him to know
that Mr. Sherard only disagreed with
him in only one vote; his vote on the
hnnn.-? fnr px-serviee men.
I want to say, my friends, that I
disagree with a great many votes
Mr. Dominick made while he has
been a member of the congress, but
since ho has seen lit to discuss only
the bonus question, it will be the only
ore I will discuss at this time.
The ex-service men deny with emphasis
that they ask charity of our
government. Their claim is that
while away in military servicec, civilians
earned unusual and enormous
wages, and that excessive profits
were made by people back home as
a result of the war. They believe
they are entitled to payment to compensate'for
their losses while absent
on duty, and they present a bill, not
for money earned as .-soldiers, but for
money lost by reason of the inter
ruption of civil life.
It will be remembered that a soldier's
pay was thirty dollars per
mont. Out 0. this he bought war
savings stamps, Liberty bonds j sent!
allotments back home to his wife,:
mother'or other dependent relative, j
and paid six dollars per month as!
premium on his life insurance. It I
will also be remembered that if there!
ever was a price on patriotism, it
was paid to these who were employ-'
ed on government jobs or in the fac-j
* - ? ? C- v\A nri_ I
lories wnere w?u~ mui/cua: nao man-1
ufactured by contract, and not to the
men who served in the military forces
of the United States. The man j
who served went with the spirit of!
^ ' "Duty calls, I must go." He had no!
thought of high wages. The laborer. '
however, said, "I'll go where I can;
get the most money for the least:
number of work hours." Who set a j
price on patriotism, the service man
or the laborer? * -j
We are now paying the price for;
patriotism. Men who# were oncej
strong and robust arc today in many!
case? physically impaired, and there
ere some with families unable to
care for their loved ones, because the
head of the family is in the last stag
es of tuberculosisv and under the'
present law, cannot get help fromj
our government for whom they gave 1
their all! # J
I know that a great deal has beenI
done for the diseased and disabled!
vsiteran, but is there any record of I
i
where Mr. Dominick has introducd aj
I single bill in their behalf? He says]
the present bill is a monstrosity, and j
if I want to do something for the ex-!
service man, why don't I come out
like a man and say so. I want to
say in answer to that, that the present
bill is the best we have, it is endorsed
by six of Mr. Dominick's colleagues.
by our own state Democratic
convention, by ex-service men i
generally, Mr. JDomimcK's statement j
to the contrary notwithstanding, ana;
if it is such a devilish piece of Icsis- ^
% " i
lation, if he be in sympathy with adjusted
compensation, why his he not j
improved the present bill, or intro-|
I duced a better one?
k Mr. Dominick says the present bill;
will not help thy service man, stating
that he will be given a handsomely
engraved certificate, stating that the!
United States would pay him three
hundred dollars at the end of twenty
years, and in the next breath says
that if the soldier will keep the cer-;
tificate twenty years he can draw'
1 "something like $900.00.*' There is
a whole lot more to th;s bill. It
" provide: homesteads for ex-service
men, and it provides vocational
training both alone: the lines of
skilled artisan and professional lines.
Mr. Dominick states that the federal
soldier of the War Between the
i
States asked for and received no bonus.
I want to state that he did ask
for and that he did receive a bonus
I
the following: report from the adjutant
general of the army prepared
for congress in 187") will show:
First: Pension?, in which six bil-'
lion dollars have been given.
Second: Bountes, which had totalled
$673,802,25(5 by 1875.
Third: Homestead laws, under
which Civil War veterans settled
thickly in middle western states on
la.nd>3 which,became immensely valuable
later. Originally entitled to
80 acres within the twenty-mile strips
alone: the land-grant railroads, veterans
later were enabled to increase
their holdings to 100 acres. Many
riot- choosing to avail themselves of
their land rights were able to sell
these rights for cash. Land =;crip, the
i
; t ?r:n u ?t ii :o assignments of homo'stead
ri.L'. 1:1.. for many years circu!
late;! as money in the far west.
The l'ii'-t Civil war bounty act,
jpassed July 22, 13G1, provided th-at
}all volunteers who enlisted under the
iact for a period not exceeding three
| yea: 5 cr less than six months were
-entitled lo a one hundred dollar
1
; bounty. This was later amended
making payable in advance $25.00 of
j the $100.00 offered. Under another
'measure enacted in March, 18G3,
| drafted men enrolled to serve for
; three years, or their substitutes,
j were entitled to a $100.00 bounty.
j -in voiumeer recruits wuw cnu^vu
: after October 23, 18G-3, and before
| December 24, 1863. for three years
j in an organization already in the
j field, or who enlisted after December
! 23, 1863, and before April 2, 1864.
: were promised a $300.00 bounty unjder
a law passed January 13, 1864.
There is a ridiculous contrast be|
tween the anti-compensation editoy
rials in eertan newspapers these da^s
and the news of the stock exchanges
j and financial world. While the edij
tcrials sound every note of national
'poverty and financial hopelessness,
I
jand quote endlessly the anti-compensation
warnings from Mi1.' Mellon,
{secretary of the treasury, the news|
piper financial experts continue to
; glcat over the extraordinary improvement
in the general financial
situation, and particularly the boom
in the stock and bond market.
The United States has so much of
j the world's gold supply that our govj
.rnment tells Europe please don't
jsend us any more at this time. Uncle
Sam has paid off more than $2,000,000.000
worth of his war debt, and
has jutst been able to sell $150,000.000
worth of treasury certificates of
indebtedness bearing the unusually
low interest rate of three and one
half per cnt. Liberty bon-Js are almost
at par at this time. Money is
so plentiful in the United States that
foreign nations are falling over one
another to take our surplus.
Mr. Dominick -ays "Payments,
must be made on the national debt,
and taxes must be reduced. Reck-j
less and extravagant expenditures;
must cease." I agree that this should!
be done, but why does he muddy the
water by talking about reckless and
extravagant expenditures in conr.ec-j
tion with the bonus bill? Ha;> any[
lioon avtvnvncrnrit.lv SDPllt 011 I
ex-service men? He says he is proud
of the money spent for disased and
disabled men, then in the next paragraph
says these '"reckless and extravagant
expenditures must cease.''
I will admit that such expenditures
as loaning liberia $5,000,000, $20,000,000
for Russia. $11,000,000,000
to England and France to rehabilitate
a:.d pay bonus' to their exservicce
men are extravagant expenditures,
but I do not see how the bonus
legislation now before the senate
is extravagant. Mr. Dominick says
it will net amount to anything, then
follows the statement from him that
it will increase taxes up to 84,000,000.000.
If it will not help, why
will the bill raise so much money?
rmust~h,?d oc wilih shrd'u scvmbvcc
?t.. ^<r.^- i4* Q4 nnn_
->JL I LjyiLil II It XV, LiJ Ci U tlliO Vijv/W
000,000 will be raised over a period
of forty-two years, and that the average
man will not be hurt in the
ieast through increased taxation. As
i matter of fact the effect of the passage
of the bill for -the south at least
will be to put money in circulation,
and it will stimulate business all over
the country.
IVIr. Pom I nick has evidently forgotten
the fact that these service men
were prc,m*sed their jobs back when
they returned. He seemingly has j
overlooked the fact that deflation set!
in, and what few jobs there were,i
had already been taken before these!
boys were given a chance. Doesn't j
he remember at one time there were
over 700.000 ex-service men walking]
the streets, eating a: free soup counfprs.
Hitf] sWnin.o" nn nark benches.!
hunting1 work, and that they were always;
met with the response, '"No
help wanted?'' There is a great contrast
between the government posters
in the spring of 1917. raying
Uncle Sam Needs You. and the posters
of business In 1922, saying No
Help Wanted. How do,you expect
these men to keep up-their insurance
pi-emiunis when they are out of
work? Every cent of insurance money
collected by re'itives of these
bey who died in the -.service or out
of it was paid because the premiums
nn *'noir nn!'c'(S hat! bppn n;iid b\"
:'u' man who died. The government
iiid not give them a-cent of insurance
money!
, The Gentleman .from Newberry
may th'nk the ex-service men are opposed
to adjusted compensation, but
he will find that he is greatly mistaken
after the 29th of August.
In conclusion 1 want .to say if the
people arc as burdened with taxes
as the secretary of the treasury, Mr.
Mellon, would have us believe, why
in the name of common sense docs
h? with other Republicans in congres,
work so hard to pass the pres0
- t nt tar;ff legislation now before the.
senate, when they know nuch lc~is-';
, lation wili enormously- increase the.
|.
, cost of living to every man, woman
, and child in Amerca? if they pass
this monstrosity they should forever (
cl.-e hold their tongues in fighting adjusted
compensation to ex-service
I
! men.
