When England dis- charged her soldiers she provided cach with a tull equipment of civilian | clothing. The United States adopted the policy of glving sixty dollars | when, as we all know, this small sum {of money would not have purchased | an overcoat at the prices then pre- | vail, 1at alone a suit of clothes, shirts, | stockings, shoes and other personal | ‘apparnl required by the soldier in | returning to civilian life. So that the | men discharged had to do one of three things—either use for his civilian equipment money that he pre- viously had saved; rely upon rela- tives or othera to outfit him; or bor row the money. We all recall the familiar sight of the ex-soldler with a clvilian suit of clothes and army shoes and army overcoat, indicating | that in returning to civilian life the soldier was unable, in any of |above three ways, to outfit himself | | property.

New means of increasing the rev. enue must bé found-—means that will not add to the present load the tax- payer is carrying. One such means suggests itself to me. I am in favor of an amendment to the Volatead Act | which will allow the manufacture and | sale of beer. I have stated my reu-‘ sons for this letter to Superintendent | Claypool of the Connecticut \n(i-‘ Saloon League. I am firmly of the belief that beer may be legally man- ufactured and sold under the con- stitutional amendment and that, from | the manufacture and sale of beed, | sufficlent revenue may be derived to| comensate the soldlers for the moral obligation whiech the country owes of | hospitalization and vocational trainng. | This tax will not be an thing they may they please; it will not add to the the | burdens of those already taxed; thera | is no imposition on any one by such tax. It will also lower present taxes. I can sypmpathize most heartily in claims advanced for so-called adjusted compensation; I can readily see jus- additional | burden upon the people; beer is some- | purchase or not as | Summarization :| Therefore, to summarize, I believe In a bill that will compensate the ex- soldier, sailor and marine for the financial inequalities which he suf- | fered; provided, that such a bill will | carry the appropriation and provide a means of ralsing the revenue, sep- arate and distinct from the present ordinary sources of governmental revenue. I have suggested one such means. | 1 further belleve that, if the sol- dler is to be compensated, his com- pensation should be given him at the earliest practicable moment; it shauld come now and not many years Jater. The war has been over four years and most of the men have been out of service over three years and the obli- | gation on the part of the government is a present and not a future one. 1 have not specified in this letter { the amounts which should be given. | Perhaps the bhill the president vetoed { might be taken as a basis for the sume which should be appropriated.
