BONUS FOR EXSERVICI
MEN
Continual agitation for a
bonus of some sort for the
men who served in the Unit
ed States army and navy dur
ing the war is a question
which is holding the center
of the stage in every state in
the Union and in Alaska.
The arguments advanced foi
and against a cash bonus arc j
many. A cash bonus would J
require special legislation j
and create the necessity 01 j
bonding, particularly so 1■’;
Alaska where it would be ne -
cessary to get permissic-.
from Congress- The differ -.
ent American Legion post?
scattered throughout the
Teritory are for and agains .
the granting of a bonus in
the shape of 160 acres o*
land. !
The following facts ana
figures are set forth for the j
information of all exservice
men:
(a) Between the dates of
April 6,1917 and Nov. 11,
1918, Alaska furnished 2,381
men for the army, navy and
coast guards according tc
figures furnished by the str%
tistical branch General Staf
U. S. Army. i
(b) To pay a cash bonu
of $15.00 per month, alloc j
ing an average period of tt
months service for each ma
would require $357,150.00.
(c) The Territory’s tot: ;
income is approximate’ j
$400,000.00 per annum, all ( j
which consumed in opei i
ating expenses
. (d) It is observed, there
fore, that it would requir
approximately the entii
revenue for one year to pa.
this bonus.
(e) It would appear tha j
the only way to raise mone !
to give to ex-service me.
would be through the issu
ance of bonds,'and to issu ,
bonds the Territory mus
get permission from Con
gress which, upon investiga
tion by your department of
ficers seems to be practical
ly impossible.
(f) The Alaska Legisla
ture can, however, ask Con
gress to grant to the Terri
tory of Alaska, 160 acres o.’
land or schipt therefore foi,
each of her ex-service men
This land, (any 160 acres the
man may select) to be giver
to him in turn by the Terri
tory. This request can lx
presented, it is believed with
far more assurance of its be
ing granted.
(g) Do not confuse with
the homestead. This grant is
to be absolutely free from all
residence requirements.
(h) In conclusion the
man must not overlook the
fact that it would indeed be
poor judgement on his part
If he did not select a piece of
land that he would be able
to dispose of for more than
$150.00 immediately upon
getting his deed. Many of*
;he men will no doubt mud
prefer to hold his property, j
