The soldier’s bonus bill is before the lower house of congress today under suspension of the rules. It is altogether likely thet it will receive the two-thirds ma- jerity required to pass it. The estimate in the committee’s upon the assumption that 70 per cent of the 4,458,199 veterans who would be eligible for compensation would accept adjusted service certificates; 2% per cent vo- cational training aid; 10 per cent farm and home aid and 7% per cent land settlement aid. The remaining 14 per cent would be paid in cash after passage of the | bill under a provision requiring veterans whose ad- justed compensation would not exceed $50 to accept cash. Total costs under the various options of the bil! were estimated as follows: Cash payments, $16,000,000. Certificates on account of deaths, $577,571,000. Certificates on account of maturity, $3,154,823,350. Vocational training, $52,325,000. Farm and home ald, $186,000,000, Land settlements, $112,000,000. The greatest cost in any one year was estimated at) $3,154,823,350 in the fiscal year 1943, when the cer- tificates then outrtanding would mature. The costs under all other options except the certificates would cease in 1927. The last paymerits under vocational training would be in 1925; under farm and home cid in 1926, and under Iand settlement in 1927. After that time the only cost each year until the year of the maturity of the certificates would be payments on ac- count of deaths of holders of certificates. Cost in fiscal year 1923—$74,279,000. 1924—-$124,440,000. 1934—$28,600,000. 1925—$121,370,000. 1935—$29,004,000. 1926—$136,8: 1936—$29,448,000. 1927—$42,936,000. 1937—$30,003,000, 1928—$27,046,000. 1938—$30,5938,000. 1929—$27,233,000. 1989—$31,333,000. 1930—$27,415,000. 1940—$32,144,000. 1981—$27,674,000. 1941—-$33,105,000. 1932—$27,932,000. 1942—$34,251,000. 1938—$28,265,000, No provision has been made for raising revenue to meet the first year’s cost, because in the opinion of a majority of the committee no provisions are needed until aft fiscal year. ——_1—_. NOT A FAILURE. “The greatest achievement at Washi ” the Montreal Star, “ iy the seen oe the last veil of doubt an t d misunderstanding detween ‘he men who count in Britain and the men who count in the United States. They all know now that they ure travelling the same international road—a: least, for the present. We shall not make the mistake of imagining that there are or can be any finalities in world politics, But for the next decade or two, the map will govern, And that is a great accomplishment. Paris and Versailles have left a doz- on wars going on in the area over which they proclaim- ed peuce. Washington has established peace in the Pacific world and between the two great Engiish- speaking peoples for a generation, “To call it a ‘failure’ because it has not also brought in the millennium and wiped the war spirit from the hearts of all men—has not induced France to disarm before revengeful Germany nor the new-born nations of mid-Europe to trust Trotzky—is just another ex- ample of the costly folly of rushing, blindfold, after the impossible. It is of a piece with the trusting juve- nile credulity of those who genuinely thought that ‘the late unpleasantness’ was really ‘a war to end war.’ ” ——————$<$—.-____ THE LAW OF COMPENSATION. “The law of compensation generally pays us for our losses and taxes us for our gains,” notes the St. Paul Pioneer Press. ‘We all must give up something for what we get, and conversely, we usually get some re- turn from that which we give up, “This is more or less true in all human affairs and experiences. There is no loss without some compen- satory gain, however small, and no gain without some parallel loss, “Nature is a stern follower of the law of compen-| sation. The last winter was particularly mild and pleasant. The present summer is particularly hot and unpleasant. What we saved in coal we are paying for by using more ice. difficult to obtain and consequently it is costing us more than is usual during the severe summer, “The compensation which nature is exacting for) bodily comfort and lessened coal consumption last win- ter also extends to crops. The unprecedented heat has had a disastrous effect on wheat and other small grains and the hoped-for bumper yields probably will not be forthcoming at harvest time. “Here again, however, the law of compensation steps in, for the corn crop is prospering in the swelt- ering sun and promises great things. Lessened cereal production also probably will result in higher prices which will no doubt in a large measure make up for apparent monetary losses due to the heat. Excessive crops would have flooded the markets and as Europe cannot now buy from us our home demand would not ter and 2 better social behavior, i } | | Wholesome Recreation Is_ |} a Health Measure | Spend the evening at a good | show or see a good picture Select your entertainment for the eve- | ning through the Amusement and Mo- tion Picture Ads in The Tribune to- night.

This in turn would have affected perhaps our whole economic status and a flood of unsaleable grain in our granaries and elevators might well have delayed cur progress toward that mysterious ‘normalcy’ which we are all seeking. “It is perhaps just es well therefore, not to worry ubout the future or the present and to comfort our selves by thinking that the law of compensation is working while we sleep and that in the last analysis things will come out all right.” — Women ere still able to get away with. murder in this country through juries.

The prices the roads are paying for coal, in turn, are due large ly to the present high wages of the miners.” The average price paid by the rail roads for coal, the Railway Age points out, reached its 1vaximum in Decem- ber, 1920, when it was $4.80. It de- clined throughout 1921 until at the end of the year it was only $3.65.
