FURTHER DETAILS GF THE SOLDIER BONUS CERTIFICATE Washington, March 3. — Unanimous agreement on & compromiss soldiers’ bonus bill along the general lines out- lined officially on esterday, Was reached today by house ways and means committee republicans ‘who be- lieved they had found a solution of the Problem which has been giving admin- Istration and congressional leaders con- cern for several weeks, The revised measure, however, still has a long road to. travel before it reaches the statute books, * As now drawn the bill provides for cash payments only to those men whose adjusted service pay would not exceed $50 and these four optional features: Adjusted service . certificates with an added loan provision which would en- able the men to obtain immediately from banks a sum equal to fifty per cent of the adjusted service pay; voca- tional training, home and farm ald and land settlement. In working out details of the certi- ficate loan provision, which was sug- gested originally by Representative Bowers, republican, West Virginia, the maioz committeemen reduced the face vaiue of the certificate, which would be the amount of the adjusted service pay plus 25 per cent., plus in- terest at four and one-half per cent. compounded annually, instead of the service pay, plus forty per cent. plus the interest as originally proposed. It was thought this would result in a sav- ing to the government up to a possible maximum of half a billion dollars. Banks, in making loans on the certi- ficates, could not charge an interest rate in excess of two per cent. above the re- discount rate charged by the regional federal reserve bank on ninety day pa- per in the district whiire the loan was made and they conld not make the loans for a period in excess of three years from the date of the certificate which would not be re-discountable hy federal reserve bank If the loans had not been repaid on September 30, 1925, the banks could make demand on the government for the money due. The government, it was stated, then would cash the certificate, pay the bank and turn the remainder over to the service man. The cash sur- render value of the certificate on that date would be eighty-five per cent. of the adjusted service pay plus interest at 4 1-2 per cent. compounded annually from the date of the certificate. Thi: also would be the loan value for federa; ances as of that date. If a favorable report on the measurs 1s ordered, and that practically s as- sured. a week may elapse befors the Bill is presented to the house. It was explained that it was desired to give Tepresentatives ample time fully to study the details before house consider. ation begins, ACTOR JOSEPH R.
