It remains to seen what will be done with the pies ent bill, with all of Wall Street op posing it. The bill itself is satisfac tory to no one. The soldier hose "adjusted compensation" entitled him to less than $50 can get it in cash; the others have to take a certificate of in debtedness which finally bp' .i.is due in 20 years. Meanwhile, if he vnnt to get money, he has to borrow it ii a bank and pay a larger rate of intei - certificate is as much the obliga- tion of the government as is a Liberty Bond and should entitle the owner to the lowest rate of interest at which I money can be borrwed.
