There are important matters to;be dis-f cussed, chief among , which': 1 is the question of the propose Bonus 'for all ex-service .men.i At the Minneapolis Convention of the American Legion it was decided that' no.ifurther bonus would, be asked -for; Since that time, however, the executive committee has taken - action favoring another bonus. Some posts of the Legion have . en dorsed this v move 'of - the 'comtnittee. Others" have bitterly assailed it on the ground that the .committee had-ij right to, act on the matter and further thatthis : idea of raiding the treasury is ' entirely- foreign to the ideas f orj which the Legion ; stands. This Post will take - some action on the matter Tuesday night; and an interesting dis cussion is assured..- Another matter to -come before the meeting , is the' question of : a iseeting at an - early- date for a rather im pressive nature.
