'NIP' WESTOVER PROVES TO BE A REALDEBATOR the Commander of Lincoln Post of American Legion Wins Argu ment on Compensation. From Thursday's Dally. Attorney B. G. or "Nip" Westover, as he is known to the many friends in Lincoln, was here yesterday to en- joy a visit with his brother. Dr. R. P. Westover, and t -,,. j . iu rnjuj a. icaii from his business affairs. Mr. Westover, who is commander of the Lincoln post of the American Legion, has won more or less recog nition over the state on his strong and aggressive stand for the things that are asked by the former service men and among the subjects that he has given more or less study is that of the compensation bill. On Tuesday evening Mr. Westover participated in a debate at the Lin coin auditorium with John D. Brady on the compensation question and as a result of the debate, the audience that filled the building to its capac ity, adopted resolutions in favor of compensation. The debate was attended by Dr R. P. Westover of this city, who went up to hear his brother wax elo quent on the topic now before the American public. "The soldiers bought millions of dollars worth of Liberty bonds. Six per cent of the soldier's pay went for Liberty bonds. The soldier contribut ed more money, in proportion to his wage, than did any other class of citizens," Mr. Westover declared. "This while the laboring man at home, not connected with the army, earned six and seven dollars a day. an eight hour day. time and a half for overtime, while the soldier was on duty day and night, wore hob nailed shoes, one uniform a year, the coarsest kind of other clothing and was fed on the roughest kind of ra tions at an allowance of fifty-five cents a day." In another point the affirmative speaker waxed indignant. He men tioned the fact that the conscientious objector even was treated with more consideration ' than the ex-soldier, who was given all his back pay, a new civilian suit, a $60 bonus and released to go home. Last winter 84,000 ex-soldiers walked the streets without jobs and are still walking them. The soldier, he said, suffered greater economic loss than any other jelass of war workers or citizens, yet the soldier must suffer from the burden of the war and pay his taxes just the same as any other class. Others Get Compensation Every civilian employe of the army and navy, according to the Legion's debater, received from $1,200 to $1,800 a year wages, and when re leased from employment were given a bonus or $zuu. up to last sum mer, the United States had paid to the rairroads, which claimed to have lost money during the war. $S59.- 150.860.23. almost a billion dollars. Four months after the armistice a bill was passed compensating con tractors to the tune of three billions of dollars, not for losses actually sus tained, but for profits lost that would have been earned if the war had con tinued and the cancelled contracts allowed to run. Does -Not Want a "Bonus" The soldier does not want a bonus, a gift, but only a square deal. In view of the fact that he is only asking for a total of four billions, in view of the billions that have already been paid to contractors and railroads and for bonuses to civilian employes, he does not feel that he is asking too much, although he has been called a political blackmailer and a robber of the treasury," Mr. Westover declared. The United States owns 75 per cent of the world's supply of gold, and only owes 7 per cent of her wealth. France, who owes 53 per cent of her wealth, paid her soldiers bonuses of from $83 to $200; Eng land, with her tremendous war debt. paid private bonuses of $24 to $240; Canada paid bonuses of from $280 to $600 apiece, and in two years donat ed forty millions of dollars to her un employed; Australia paid her sol diers 40 per cent higher than our men were paid, gave the disabled homes, almost rent-free, and paid the unemployed from $10 to $15 a month until they found work; re turned Canadians were given $75 a month while awaiting employment." NOT AS CLAIMED From Friday' Dally. The reflllPRt Kan hoon ttiqiIo that! the Journal make more clear some i of the facts in the case of liquor selling of wnich Victor Krivanek was found guilty yesterday. The one Jug taken from the home by the au thorities was one that contained only the remnants of some fruit juices and the jug Itself was one that had been used for wine in 1916 and therefore had more or less odor of the liquor and this led to the belief that it was intoxicating liquor instead of the mere settlings or the former con-t tents and In Justice to the family it may be stated that they are not en gaged in the manufacture of the boom. Adrertiiing is the life of trade. BACK TO OLD MIZZOTJRI From Thursday'" Daily. This afternoon Mrs. Albert Cla baugh, who has been here visiting her parents. Col. and Mrs. M. A.
