Club. Figuring that the bonus repre- sents an outlay of at least $5,800,000,- 000, he sald that this would mean flood- ing the country with half that amount in cash. As a result, he think prices would be boosted and the veterans would be Paying excessive prices for things long after thelr bonuses had been spent. Speaking on the subject, “Why I Am Against the Bonus,” he argued that that any assistance to the veterans from the government in the form of bonuses would not afford any perma- nent relief. While some of the ex- crvice men might use the money to start in business ventures, etc., he be- lleves that most of them would mnot reap any material benefit, either using the extra money for current expenses or simply wasting 1t. Apropos to the 218th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin, the patron genius of the club and whose thirteen cardinal principles have been adopted by the organiza- tion, Vernon P. Lowery discussed this famous American and drew the con- clusion that the work of Franklin in his many flelds for the welfare of the country more than offset those things in his varied career which have been held against him.
