ASKS AN ESTIMATE ON “SOLDIER BONUS” Representative Requests Legion Head to State Limit on . Cost: QUOTES PRIOR STATEMENT $88,000,000 Annually Had Been Cited “Outside Figures.” Members of Congress who have beep Pperplexed by the widely varying es- timates of the cost of a “soldiers’ bonus” may. now have a chance to find out just how much, or how little, Wwill satisfy the American Legion, speaking: for the former service ‘men. Representative Charles Brand of Ohio has written to John R. Quinn, national commander of the American Legion, quoting the figures ($38,000,000 a year) which Quinn himself, in & letter to the representatives, argued was the outside cost of the “bonus,” and asked if legilation setting that Hmit of cost would satisfy the service men. Mr. Brand's Queries. - In his letter to National Commander Quinn, Representative Brand says: “Your letters to me on the subject of the bonus and tax reduction have had my attentfon. You say: ‘Reports show that the awerage annual cost of the pending bonus bill for its entire life is less than eighty-eight millions a year'; and’ you add: * ‘It is therefore'plain that Mr. Mel- lon’s tax reduction” proposals are ap- proximately ‘four times greater than the annual cost of the adjusted com- pensation measure.” “I also have a telegram from Hugh K. Martin, state adjutant of Ohio, suggesting that the pending bonus bill will not cast more than $80,000,- 000 a year. He says: Estimate by Aetuaries. “‘Previous statement actuaries Ufited States Treasury that cost will be eighty millions per year. which is less than interest from British loan, proves bonus would not Interferc with tax reduction.’ “At the same time I have the esti- mate of the Secretary of the Treas- ury of the cost of this same pending bonus bill at $250,000,000 & ycar and a total of five billions. “Would you be satisfied with a bo- nus bill limited to the cost of $88,000,- 000 a year?” “Would you be satisfied with in- surance policies payable at death or at the end of twenty years, costing the government a total of $88,000,000 for each year for twenty years?" A copy of the above letter was sent by Representative Brand to State Adjutant Martin of Ohio, VARIED PROGRAM IS-GIVEN BY SILOT Noted Russian Plays Own Tran- scriptions of Works of Masters. Alexander Siloti, Russian planist, noted as the teacher of Serge! Rach- maninoff, as well as far his own abil- ity as a pianist, presented an un- usual program of his own transcrip- tions or revisions of works of Bach, Mozart, Tschatkowsky, Liadoff, Scria- bine and Lisst at the National The- ater yesterday afternoon. Bach's “Prelude in. D Minor,” from the “Well Tempered Clavichord,” was the only composition presented as written by the composer himself. Silot! the pedagogue was dominant most of the afternoon. It seemed as though the famous pianist were try- ing an experiment on his audience, watching keenly the effect of the compositions, ana not apparently los- ing himself In their interpretation. At any rate he gave his three Bach numbers with faultless technique and easy poise. Then he played the Mozart ‘“Varia- the composition full artistic expression. The Tschalkowsky ‘Variations” was unusually interesting. A feature of this second group was Liadoff's lenkl,” a Russian lullaby, with tender crooning melody. Scriabine's “Sonate- Fantaisie” also was given colorful in- m?rethauon. i n the group of four Lisst composi- tions fine contrast was offered from -!in the ie, ! himself in the fervor of its ‘magnificen passages, and his audience seemed to respond to it more than to any other gave another Bach selec- number. He tion, “Sicilienne,” as his encore. — DAUGHERTY ON RETURN TO WASHINGTON TODAY Leaves Miami, Expects to Be Gone Ten Days—Wife Remains in South.
